It's power level. Omega level mutants have the power, or the potential to reach, the highest levels of known power for mutants.

Omega level mutants are essentially walking plot devices that somehow develop powers that are convienent for defeating overpowered villains.

Basically, Omega level mutants are mutants whose powers could cause global catastrophe level events. Robert Drake, for example, if he focused and trained enough, could cause serious problems for the world with blizzards and such. Franklin Richards is obvious. Etc. Normal mutant's powers are usually isolated to a certain range. While powerful within that range, if they can't cause a global catastrophe, they're not Omega Level.

I was under the impression that omega level mutants had unlimited potential, but I might be wrong

@lorex: I was under the impression he WAS at Omega Level.

Uh, most of the definitions given (excluding Rick's, because he's actually right) aren't exactly getting to the point. Basically, Omega = Unlimited power. Regular = Limited.

You can still be a "Regular" yet cause damage to the world, but, it's a limited amount.

those mutants that control energy(xavier cyclops magneto storm) are alpha cause they get tired at some moment, yet they are too damn strong but no omega level strong

@Retro_Metro: what are the other classes called and know theres alpha and omega

There's Beta,Zeta,and Phi(Like the Greek Numerals). But,those are all I know as of right now. Makes me wonder why Mr.Immortal is so strong.

There are no actual classes other than Omega level, delineations like Alpha, Beta etc. are all fan suggested. They don't actually exist

There have been references of mutant levels outside of Omega in comics. Alpha level mutants were especially popular in the 90s, (not clearly defined as Wolverine to Cyclops and even Nate Grey have been considered alpha level something) and Jean Greys niece and nephew were classified Epsilon-Delta level mutants which marked them as latent mutant.

there has been no defention if this. All we know is that

Omega Level Mutants just means super duper powerful

Alpha level just means powerful.

There is no alpha mutants, as someone said before that's fanmade. Could be that it comes from the cartoons or similar, but it's never been in canon comics.

Omega just simply means unlimited Potential, that's all. Alpha level, though powerful, are limited to the amount of power they can output. Omega lvl mutants don't worry about limitation because they have an unlimited supply of power. Jean Grey can tap into an unlimited supply of psionic energy same as Rachel. Bobby can tap into large quantities of water molecules and thermal energy to the point that he can exist beyond human physicality. Vulcan manipulates multiple forms of energy of energy which makes him omega lvl. Storm and Magneto are two extremely powerful Alpha lvl but they are limited to top the amount of power they exert. Storm for example has gathered the energies of a galactic core but in order for her to do this she had to be in this environment. She wouldn't be able to replicate this feat on earth. That's where the limitation comes in. Omega's don't have this problem because they can tap into that power source and get however ever much they need at any time, in any place. I hope this helped.

I don't think that they have been confirmed Alpha's though right? I thought these two have not yet been classified this point (i.e. - omega level potential or suspected omegas).

I'm pretty sure the Alpha designation was in AOA. I don't know about 616.
