    Folks do you think Cyclops is an Alpha or Omega level mutant?

    He possessed the power of the Phoenix for a short while in AvX.

    So he has a power level beyond an average mutant right?

    Cyclops is an Alpha level mutant, but sometimes you'll hear he can be considered a beta level mutant due to the aspect he can't control his powers fully. But I tend to go with Alpha because the inability to fully control his blasts is based on his mental trauma/damage, therefore it's not an extension of his mutation, but rather because of an outside factor.

    And having the Phoenix Force in AvX had nothing to do with his classifcation as a mutant.

    Neither, he's Beta Level at best. Given that he has no control over his GD powers :[
