Marvel’s X-Men era is shaping up to be powerful. According to The Direct, **Phase 7** of the MCU will feature three Omega-level mutants, with a fourth possible. In comic terms, that’s the top tier, reserved for mutants with no real rivals.

## Omega-Level Mutants in Phase 7 MCU : Overview

| Mutant | Where to Expect Them | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Professor X** | *X-Men* (2028), directed by Jake Schreier | Mentor to a new team |
| **Storm** | *X-Men* reboot, played by Maya Boyd | Younger, still growing |
| **Jean Grey** | Debuted in *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* (Sadie Sink) | Joining Xavier |
| **Franklin Richards** *(bonus)* | Possible *Fantastic Four* sequel | Not yet confirmed |

## What “Omega-Level” Means?

Mutants get their powers from the X-gene, and the comics rank them in tiers, from Beta and Gamma up to Alpha. The elite fall into Omega, where individuals can turn a fight with little effort. Sentinels reportedly keep a wary eye out for them.

The MCU has already shown one. In *Deadpool & Wolverine*, Cassandra Nova amassed so much power in The Void that the TVA had to cut a deal with her. Stopping her took Wade Wilson and Logan together.

## Meet the Three

**Professor X:** Charles Xavier’s movie appearances rarely showed his full strength. In the comics, his telepathic potential is limitless, and he can beat powerful telepaths like Exodus without Cerebro. In 2028’s *X-Men*, he mentors a new group of heroes. Their enemy, Mister Sinister, isn’t above hurting children, so Xavier can’t just sit back.

**Storm:** *X-Men ‘97* showed her power when Sentinels flagged her as Omega-level and she tore them apart with a glass tornado. With younger actress Maya Boyd cast, she may start smaller. Her time will come, though.

**Jean Grey:** Sadie Sink brought her to life in *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, where Jean’s pain led to a clash with Damage Control and Peter Parker helped set her on a better path. Xavier plans to take her under his wing, since she has “all the makings of a loose cannon.” The Phoenix Force could eventually raise her to Avengers-level danger.

**Bonus: Franklin Richards:** the son of Reed and Sue is classed as Omega-level in the comics for his reality-warping ability. His status as a mutant is a bit confusing, given his parents’ cosmic-radiation origin. He first has to get through *Avengers: Doomsday* and *Secret Wars*.

## Why It Matters?

Phase 7 follows the *Doomsday* and *Secret Wars* storyline. Adding heavy hitters suggests Marvel wants the next era to start with a bang. For background on the team, [Wikipedia’s X-Men page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men) is a good starting point, and more MCU news is waiting on [TechnoSports](https://technosports.co.in/).
