5. Jean Grey:
This gifted X-Men’s ability showed great power from a young age so much so that her mentor, Professor X, felt it necessary to establish psychic barriers to limit certain aspects of her power until he felt she could master them. Though he eventually removed them, even then, perhaps due to her conditioning, Jean never even approached her full potential until the Phoenix Force revealed the power inside her. An Omega-level mutant in her own right, when serving as Avatar to the Phoenix Force, she becomes one of the most powerful forces in the Marvel universe. Her abilities are many, varied, and truly formidable.
4. Magneto:
Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, nee Max Eisenhardt, is truly the Master of Magnetism. For decades, he’s been considered one of the most powerful Alpha-level mutants in the Marvel universe. He’s among the most influential as well. Though being able to control metal might sound impressive, it also has its limitations, especially compared to general telekinesis. Here’s the thing though, Magneto can do more than just mess with metal… he can manipulate magnetic fields on a planetary scale. With this far-reaching powerset, he can create force fields, alter landscapes, produce devastating magnetic pulses, construct complex machines and more. Having dedicated himself mastering these powers, Magnus can literally shape the world.
3. Vulcan:
Scott, aka Cyclops, might be the best known of the Summers brothers, but his ocular blasts are modest compared to the abilities of his sibling, Gabriel. Better known as Vulcan, he is a master of energy absorption and manipulation, capable of concentrating it into powerful blasts, force fields, and even a roundabout form of telekinesis. His powers have grown exponentially to the point where he has been described as being “way past Omega” level. He has learned to manage and utilize energy in creative ways, such as self-healing, flight and more. It’s hard to convey just how much energy Vulcan is able to manipulate, but trust us… it’s staggering. Too bad he’s a villain!
2. Legion:

David Haller is a chip off the old block and then some. The old block we’re referring to is Charles Xavier, and the “then some” is the seemingly endless array of powers he’s exhibited. As a mere child, fear triggered his abilities and he literally burned the brains of the assassins targeting him and his family. This traumatic event fractured David’s mind into various personalities, throughout which his powers were distributed. It also triggered a habit of absorbing the consciousness of others, worsening the problem. David has the ability to mutate repeatedly, generating new powers and personalities to wield them. His allegedly contains hundreds of Omega-level mutant identities. Taken as a whole, his power is infinite.
1. Hope Summers:

In a world full of mutants with assorted powers, the ability to take those powers on as your own is pretty impressive. This is an ability that we’ve seen before in the popular mutant Rogue, but Hope, the adoptive daughter of Cable, takes it to a whole other level of awesome. Unlike Rogue, she doesn’t need to make physical contact with her subjects and is able to employ multiple powers from different mutants simultaneously. As a result, her power, in every possible category of consideration, is potentially limitless depending on the company in which she finds herself. Add to that her connection with the Phoenix Force, and you’ve got one seriously powerful young mutant.
