10 Most Powerful X-Men Of All Time

7. Quentin Quire

Besides a truly enviable collection of slogan t-shirts (some of our favourites include "Ivan Drago was robbed" and "Days of Future Pasta"), this punky, spunky young student has maybe one of the most powerful skill sets of anyone in the Xavier school - including students and teachers. Not that you should tell him that, he's cocky enough as it is. He gave himself the codename Kid Omega, for crying out loud. Not that Quentin Quire is remiss to think so highly of himself.

A constant troublemaker and thorn in the side of every authority figure that crosses him, Quentin couples his preternatural ability for causing complete anarchy with a level of telepathic power that even Emma Frost's beloved trio of psychics, the Stepford Cuckoos, have trouble taking in. Kid Omega's psychic powers are actually a little more subtle than most, mainly allowing him to think at a superhuman speed, which allows makes him able to resist any sort of mental probing or mind control.

He is also able to exert his influence over those around him, either secretly or overtly, as evidenced by the Riot At Xavier's storyline where he turns the whole school on its head. His several thousand "brilliant" thoughts a second are initially boosted by the mutant drug Kick, but even after he managed to quit that bad habit Quentin has retained his Omega Level abilities and then some, adding some crazy telekinetic skills which let him bust out of containment, heal all wounds on his body, and event exist without the need for a corporeal form. In an alternate reality he's host to the Phoenix force, and if you know anything about the Phoenix, it's that it doesn't just align itself with any no-name jabroni.
