X-Men #5 – Written by Jed MacKay; Art by Ryan Stegman, Marte Gracia, & Clayton Cowles

Many mutants have their bodies and minds pushed beyond capacity, but few throw themselves into it with the frequency of child Omega. In the relatively short time since his X-gene manifested extraordinary telepathic abilities, Quentin goes from world-class terrorist and threat to a core member of Cyclops’ X-Men teamAlthough his loyalty in the interim was all over the place. He cut through his own power by abusing the medicine kick, leaving him in a state somewhere between life and death, had a piece of his mind forever erased by Phoenix fire, and died countless times on Kraka.

However, it’s not the bad choices that define child autism now. It is the incredible mental resilience he demonstrates. Cassandra Nova conjures a vision that psychically takes Psylocke, yet Quentin defeats the tactic even as his greatest fears are realized by a false sabretooth. It’s a crowning moment, along with his ability to quarantine Phoenix Fire in his own mind Jean Grey #2 and piecing his life (and mind) back together after hundreds of deaths and memory gaps while serving with X-Force. Jean Gray has endured a lot in her life, but Kid Eve has done the same – and bounces back faster.

Quentin Quire is just beginning to approach his true power

Quentin Quire could easily be a candle that burned bright and burned. However, despite the danger he puts himself in both mentally and physically, he never fully succumbs to it. Instead, he was on a path of slow growth that would ultimately only help his power. While he’s still one of the most arrogant X-Men around, there’s introspection that certainly didn’t exist in his younger days. He knows his own weaknesses and uses them to inform his strengths and has sacrificed much for others, an unthinkable thought for the young child Tumega.

Although Jean Gray left Earth to take on cosmic problems with the Phoenix, the X-Men were not left to suffer. Kid Eve has always had the raw power to be an unfathomably gifted psychic, but raw power isn’t everything – and he finally knows it. His experiences have allowed him to develop an amazing psychic resistance and protection, along with the empathy and willingness to extend it to others. Quentin Quire isn’t just an omega-level mutant these days; Child character is Cyclops X-Men Team’s most powerful telepath And a god-level psychic continues to grow stronger in all the right ways.
