I think his actual mutant abilities aren't at Omega level, but his intelligence/Celestial tech makes him a big bad.

Immortality is his thing; he's one of the Externals.

That matters much more than all these "Omega" labels which have become pretty meaningless.

Also Omega is just a classification regarding the upper potential of a power set. Plenty of mutants (especially nowadays) are "omega" but usually show very little of that potential.

Apocalypse is kind of hampered because Marvel is never consistent about what his core mutant powers actually are.

This. thumb up

Apoc is a major threat because of his Celestial enhancements -- not necessarily because of his inherent Mutant abilities(which is the only way one can achieve "Omega-level" Mutie status.)

I understand that he manhandled the Hulk on strength alone, is this due to his celestial tech or his natural ability alone?

He used the tech to amp his powers up. So.... semantics, really, but I don't think he could have done it without his tech.

We'll never know for sure, as his appearances in his original body and before upgrades of any kind (which would include the natural progression of his mutant gifts) are very, very few.
