    There's no real clarification on any of the mutant power levels, which is why i think it's stupid.

    Omega has been vaguely described as someone with unlimited potential, even more stupid.

    Omega mutants

    Omega mutants are the most powerful class of mutants. Omega mutants can control matter and energy, have unlimited potential and are possibly even immortal. All Omega mutants are also Alpha mutants but not all Alpha mutants are Omega mutants. For example Jean Grey is an Alpha mutant because of her power and lack of flaws and is also an Omega mutant because of how powerful she is. Gambit on the other hand falls under Alpha mutant for the same reasons but isn't powerful enough to be an Omega mutant.

    * Only classify mutants as Omega Level if they have been explicitly referenced as Omega Level within continuity or if they regularly match the feats of a known Omega Level mutant.

    Based from Marvel Wikia

    For me, classifying mutant powers is okay. We need at least some level of knowledge how power level works in the Marvel Universe. The only thing that is bothersome in this set up are writers who tend to not follow or create their own definition of power level for example, Vulcan who is said to be more powerful than an omega mutant which is actually way too impossible unless we go to another level power of near god powers or cosmic beings.

    Also, one can be an Omega Mutant but does not follow that mutant manifest the full extent of his powers because of personal reason or lack of experience or his/her body has not matured enough to use such powers. So, an omega mutant can still be vulnerable to attacks and being killed

    As for Wolverine he is a Beta Mutant like Mystique and Sabretooth

    Could the strongest be Franklin Richards?

    It was onced stated by the character Roma, that his power would eventually rival the Celestials.

    He onced created a universe that held the Heroes Reborn.

    She still sucks, and she as the personality of an sloth. There are way to many Jean Grey fan boys working in the x-offics over at marvel.

    How can anything go beyond unlimited?
    And most powerful in marvel history? Just no. Any high-level cosmic entity could erase her from reality without trying.

    not in the capacity that it makes sense, it has been mentioned regarding Chamber his mutation was removed completely (Wandas warp made him human without any trace of mutation) and he was exposed to Apocs blood making him a mutate now.  Storm has been pushed beyond her limits and was nearly killed everytime and reverted right back to original power levels, omegas when pushed survive the experience and their powers stablize at the new level.

    I'm talking about the term potential omega which was first coined by fans and then used to describe Chamber, which is an inaccurate term to use since he is no longer a mutant, Storm too has been described by fans as potential omega which is not true because there are clear limits to what she can do with her powers and how much power she can channel without burning herself out.  The Shi'ar came to earth during endsong to stop the Phoenix from taking over an Omega so they went after Jean Grey and then Quentin, Storm was there and ignored.

    "say what you want, you prove to me that whoever he said was "potential omega" is.  then you tell me why anybody should listen to what he says about mutants over two mutants and experts one of which originally coined the term omega mutant.  So to be a potential omega you have to first reach some unknown level to unlocked another door that leads right back to having potential power?  Is that how it works?  and that's why it makes no sense.  The term Omega level mutant means that the mutant has potential (among other things), so the term potential omega is redundant if not utterly nonsensical"
