And although the excitement is justified, people especially love Wolverine and more specifically, Hugh Jackman as the character. Well, theX-Men ’97animated series recently dropped and we are here to explain why Wolverine isn’t considered an Omega-level mutant in that series!

Why Wolverine Isn’t An Omega Level Mutant InX-Men ’97!

Although old man Logan is considered one of the strongest X-Men out there, there is a very particular reason why he isn’t considered one of the best. Despite having several heroic moments to his name, Wolverine isn’t who you could consider Omega-level.

As per Marvel Comics, there are different types of mutants possible. As per an interpretation, the mutants can be divided into three categories. These categories are defined by the amount of power the mutants have and Omega level literally means, infinite. So if Wolverine were an Omega-level X-men, his power would literally be limitless.

Well, sadly the case is not so as Logan isn’t considered Omega-level for a reason. As per the comics, Wolverine does not possess much power and his power is limited. Hence, the X-Men could not be considered into the Omega level of mutants inX-Men ’97.

On the other hand, it was none other than Old Man Logan who had once talked about the difference of levels and how Omegas were the most powerful.

When Old Man Logan Explained The Mutant Levels!

As per the comics, an Alpha-level mutant means someone whose powers have a finite limit. For example, Professor X was considered an Alpha-level mutant in the beginning. On the other hand, a beta-level mutant is someone whose powers are greater than the Alpha-level mutants.

And Omega mutants, are limitless. As per the comics, the Omega-level mutants are defined as the type of mutants who do not have a limit to their powers. Infamous X-Men member Jean Grey is a prime example of an Omega-level mutant. In the comics, it was a similar character toHugh Jackman’sLogan called Old Man Logan who had said the following words about Jean Grey and Omega-level mutants:

James Mangold directed Logan (2017)

“‘Omega-Level’ means she’s very, very powerful. Her power levels lit Cerebro up like fourth o’ July.”
