Cable...just regular "Jesus like" cable beat Nate...but making him overload himself or something...I read about it in Cable bio in www.uncannyxmen.net now if it's was "god like" cable battling Nate..Nate is so screwed to the point it's funny.
And Jesus Cable will have his hands full with Shaman X-Man.

Scarlet Witch was never confirmed to be an omega mutant. Calling her one is supposition and conjecture.
Similar with Mad Jim Jaspers.
Neither have been stated on panel, or in a bio, to be 'omega classification.' And truly, it's not potential, nor power, nor immortality that makes one an omega. It's the black and white. It's the ink.
The only thing that makes an omega an omega is the writers who jot down the five letter word.
Regardless of whether or not any writers acknowledge it, any mutant who can completely rewrite the Earth with nothing more than a thought is easily an Omega mutant.
Another possible candidate for that would be Alpha the Ultimate Mutant. That guy could get more powerful each time he used his powers and he even singlehandedly owned the Defenders.

But, 'omega-ness' isn't about power. It's (in-verse) about unlimited potential. If the person that could rewrite the Earth with a thought couldn't get any more powerful, they'd hardly have unlimited potential, eh?
Out-of-verse, it's only about whether writers acknowledge them as one or not. Hence, the only mutants we can be SURE are omegas are the ones that have been CONFIRMED as omegas. The ones I listed above.
The girl remade the entire universe on a whim. That's about as "unlimited" as it gets. Let's take Iceman for example. Let's say he eventually becomes powerful enough to freeze the entire planet. Then later on he becomes powerful enough to freeze the Sun, Then the universe (somehow). What's next? Bobby would most likely have hit his limit and therefore no longer have any more potential after that.
In other words, if you really wanted to get into semantics, even those with "unlimited potential" can only go so far.
The Omega class does refer to those with unlimited potential, but it's also clearly for mutants who are by far the most powerful. And I don't need a writer to tell me someone who can affect the entire universe is clearly an Omega class mutant.
