Jamie could be (thought to my knowledge its never been confirmed), he manipulates reality, so essentially he can do almost anything he likes...
Proteus?
He could be, though his lack of control over his powers could mean that he isn't...
Proteus is relatively localised in terms of the use of his powers he can only affect certain things and only within a certain range, and he has a very big weakness to metals.
Braddock it's harder to say, he can pretty much affect anything through pulling the quantum strings of causality. He can arguable affect things on a much larger scale but has only really shown localised power.
Originally posted by stickman618For Proteus I don't recall him ever showing any level of power near worldwide reality alteration, I don't recall anything beyond his immediate vicinity, and he is highly dependent on hosts. If his powers didn't have their limits he could easily just create a body for himself that wouldn't deteriorate.
are you guys saying that they can't change the whole world,
but Franklin Richards can??
For Braddock, arguably he can simply pull a different string of reality, or pull harder, or pull more etc to make more worldwide alterations. He's insane and perceives the world as a dream he changes things to amuse himself. Braddock can do things on a whim calling forth the Fury, killing Psylocke by pointing at her, recreating her so that she's immune to the likes of Proteus. There is an argument for him being an Omega mutant, but much less so for Proteus imo.
Franklin's an Omega but he's still a child. I recall he's created a pocket universe, a worldwide reality alteration shouldn't be beyond him once he matures.

I know what an Omega mutant is, but how exactly is an Alpha mutant defined, and why is Angel one?
Alpha is basically powerful, but with limits... their power only works one way...
angel? as in warren worthington? his healing factor is pretty advanced, i guess that could be why...
I don't think they ever really defined the Alphas - those who were included were very diverse, everything from Cyclops optic blasts, to Nightcrawler's teleporting, to Morph's shapeshifting, to Wolverine's healing factor, to Psylocke's telekinesis. Basically X-Men and those with mutant abilities on their level e.g. their enemies were considered Alphas iirc - so yeah, basically powerful but with definite limits.

what's the difference between uncanny x-men, x-men, and astonishing x-men?which story is best to follow????
If you're going to go by writer, then to me, astonishing x-men is far superior to the other too...
at the moment...
astonishing x-men is dealing with an attack by te hellfire club and an apparent (i say that because its anything but definate) betrayal by emma frost...
uncanny x-men deals with the aftermath of deadly genesis, and professor xaviers team following vulcan into space so they can stop him from destroying the shiar empire...
x-men atm is dealing with the return of northstar and the interrogation of sabretooth...
all of them are 616 canon, so they are all official...
my advice is to pick your favourite character and read the boook they appear in...
