The X-Men and related mutant characters are among the most powerful in Marvel history. The X-gene that creates mutants can be tricky, no one really knows what to expect from it or how to predict it. People can be born with a tail or feathers and still be a mutant, while others are born with the potential for unlimited power. The reason for the rating system when it comes to the power level of a mutant is to at least attempt to monitor the spectrum. The most powerful, whether they are telepaths, energy drainers or manipulators, and whatever else they can possibly do, are classified as Omega-level mutants.
However, from the most powerful class of mutants, or even the alpha-level heroes and villains who are on the cusp of Omega-level but haven’t quite proven to be there yet, it can only be One winner. With this in mind, we are counting down the most powerful mutants in the Marvel universe, taking everything into account from the history of the comics, looking at a character’s skills and sheer power level.
Mutants have some of the most diverse power sets and personalities of any group in the Marvel Universe. They are the next stage in human evolution, destined to inherit the future. However, some mutants are immortals who have been around for millennia, their influence stretching back into the distant past. Some can even rewrite reality on a whim. Whether heroes, villains or those who care little for such labels, These are the most powerful Marvel mutants around.
