Mutant powers aren’t set in stone, with different mutants being able to rise in the ranks once they understand exactly how their powers work and how to use them properly. The best example of such a power upgrade is Iceman, who went from a guy who tossed snowballs at people to a mutant capable of freezing the planet, hellfire, light, and even time itself. If Iceman can do it, then these X-Men have a chance as well to become Omega-level mutants and obtain incomprehensible power.
4) Darwin
An underrated X-Man, Armando Muñoz, aka Darwin, has the power to adapt and survive any environment or situation. Practically immortal, Darwin can develop gills if underwater, turn into energy to survive the vacuum of space, regrow his head if it is destroyed, and more. Despite this incredibly versatile ability with no clear limit, Darwin isn’t considered to be an Omega-level mutant because his powers are reactive, and he doesn’t have complete control over them. His current ability is also more geared toward defense than toward overwhelming offense. Still, if Darwin can learn to control his adaptive skills, he would have a limitless supply of powers he can summon on command.
3) Polaris
Lorna Dane, aka Polaris, is the daughter of Magneto, one of the strongest Omega-level mutants in the world. Polaris inherited her father’s control over magnetism but is labelled an Alpha-level mutant, the level directly below Omega. The reason for this lower classification is that Polaris lacks Magneto’s decades of experience and mastery of using his powers to their full potential. Polaris currently is limited on how much she can lift and how creatively she uses her magnetic abilities. But, given time and training, Polaris could realistically reach similar levels of power to Magneto and achieve the rank of Omega. She could learn to manipulate the composition of atoms, the metallic substances in the human body, and even the Earth’s electromagnetic field, making her a nearly unstoppable mutant.
