[Charles Foster Kane]

I don't know all the mutants in the series, but I'll go with Storm's. Controlling the weather must be awesome, plus she can fly (which is always cool).

I'd post an image, but it's hard finding decent ones in Google image nowadays.

 

[CountAntonius]

Morph.

 

[Kageshinzo]

OG X-Men, Iceman. Omega-level mutant.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

I'm a fan of Nightcrawler's shenanigans, personally.

 

[Asimov]

Magneto.

I could create a hoverboard with just a piece of metal.

 

[BertramCooper]

Mystique. Easily.

 

[Grassclipper]

Iceman is a pimp.

 

[Asimov]

Question... when a mutant morphs into another mutant, it is only their physical appearance or also the powers?

 

[f0lken]

Apocalipsis

 

[Supermanisdead]

Marrow's power is totally digusting and I love it. She can grow her bones out of her body to make knives and darts and shit.

What a bad bitch.

 

[CountAntonius]

Mystique. Easily.

Never quite understood the abilities of shape shifters. If one turned into wolverine will they mimic the adamantium and be just as strong?

 

[Kraftwerk]

Apocalypse

Even if you strip all his powers away, he will always be the epitome of BOSS.

"I am the rocks...of the Eternal shore, crash against me and be broken!"

 

[Drazgul]

Wasn't there some kid (Xavier's?) that had reality alteration powers? That's in a completely different league compared to other powers, since it's only limited by your imagination.

As for actual members of X-Men... ehh, one of them dandy omega mutants I guess.

 

[Certinty]

Nightcrawler or Iceman.

With those kind of powers you would get any girl on the planet in a heartbeat.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Magneto.

I could create a hoverboard with just a piece of metal.

He can manipulate the metals he has in his own body so that's not really necessary. I'd probably choose Magneto as well though. Just seems like an incredibly useful power to have.

 

[Parallax]

the astral plane walker known as nate grey. helps that he was beast before they fucked him too.

oh wait, i forgot. franklin richards.

Nope, just a ghetto copy. They can't mimic powers either.

Some mutants can mimic powers like Rogue (through touch) or Synch (just by being near them).

Well, I know that... but a hoverboard would look much cooler!

 

[Sword Familiar]

Well, I know that... but a hoverboard would look much cooler!

He could race with Silver Surfer then, I guess.

 

[strobogo]

Clearly Wolverine as he has the power of protection from the editors.

 

[effe]

Elixir.

Storm's are better for flying. Plus she can summon lighting which just makes her look more badass.

Well at least Morph can still shift into some super model on tv and diddle himself in front of the mirror. Still the best powers IMO>

 

[FloatOn]

Magneto

 

[slightconfuse]

Fantomex

 

[Omegasquash]

I've always been partial to Magneto, myself.

 

[El Daniel]

Apocalypse

Even if you strip all his powers away, he will always be the epitome of BOSS.

"I am the rocks...of the Eternal shore, crash against me and be broken!"

That sounded way better in my head.

I don't know what I expected.

 

[MattKeil]

Seems like Wolverine would be the way to go. Borderline invincible, drastically extended lifespan. Add in adamantium and the only real downside is low gas mileage due to weighing 300+ pounds.

Also can't swim.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Nightcrawler - Teleportation and the ability to become invisible in shadows seems really useful. But on the other hand, he's not very good looking lol.

Wolverine - Regeneration seems like a really cool ability, and he also ages very slowly.

I also like telepathic and telekinetic powers like Jean Grey etc. has.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Mystique. I would abuse the shit out of that power.

[MattKeil]

Lightning is just electricity, which is electromagnetic energy, which means Magneto should be able to summon lighting as well. Controlling magnetism would be literal godlike power. Magneto isn't depicted as an ultimate force-of-nature badass for nothing. A truly ruthless and amoral character wielding Magneto's abilities to their fullest extent would essentially be unstoppable.

Also can't swim.

Good point. Writers forget this pretty often.

 

[-Eddman-]

Morphs must have the weirdest sex life ever, so I guess them.

 

[7Th]

Xavier is completely broken; if it wasn't for his "code" (and Magneto's helmet) he would be unstoppable.

 

[ReiGun]

I don't care for Gambit, but I always thought he had a neat power.

 

[Snake]

Magneto.

It's not about what you got, it's how you use it.

edit: though if the question were "which power would I want" I'd probably do something like Mystique.

 

[Ezalc]

Nightcrawler and Gambit, though Gambit only counts if you have his full powers and not his usual crippled powers. Mystique's would be pretty awesome as well.

 

[Grassclipper]

You're thinking about Wanda, The Scarlett Witch, who is Magneto's kid.

 

[Prozel]

I love Magneto as well, but i think Colossus is just as awesome. Hell,

Spoiler

for a period he was the juggernaut!

 

[Poyunch]

Yeah gonna go with Iceman. He's legit yo. Or Nightcrawler.

 

[Kageshinzo]

Wolverine - Regeneration seems like a really cool ability, and he also ages very slowly.

Borderline invincibility due to healing powers won't do much if you have low to normal pain threshold. You'll go mad.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

OG X-Men, Iceman. Omega-level mutant.

this and rogue.

 

[Supermanisdead]

You're thinking about Wanda, The Scarlett Witch, who is Magneto's kid.

He might be thinking Legion, Professor X's son, who has thousands of powers and a different personality for each one. Reality altering is in there somewhere.

 

[Jitters]

Some of you are going to say its dumb, but I always thought Toad was really cool, so I'll say him(the one that can do more than just jump).

 

[Abdozer]

Anyone mind explaining why Iceman would be an Omega-level mutant?

 

[sphinx]

wasn't Jean Grey one of the few mutants on the highest mutant level?

I like her

 

[Megidolaon]

Gotta go with Jean Grey. Power of the mind. Read minds, move things, she can fly.

 

[shira]

Marrow's power is totally digusting and I love it. She can grow her bones out of her body to make knives and darts and shit.

What a bad bitch.

Wasn't that a dude in X3:last stand?

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Surprised no one has mentioned Phoenix.
