Do we know that for sure? In Exiles #90, Enemies of the Stars Part 1 (of 5), it's suggested by the Omniscient Narrator that he may in fact be the most powerful being in Creation (entire Omniverse taken into account), and that if his personality were to resurface (he possessed the personality and memories of Morph at the time, and wasn't aware that he was in fact Proteus), that Creation itself would cease to exist. No other being in Marvel Canon has been indicated at being as great an Omniversal threat, so would it be safe to say that Mutant X may in fact be the most powerful being in the Marvel Continuity?
Read my post again (key words: as great an Omniversal threat). Jim Jaspers had been stated as being an Omniversal threat, sure, but with Proteus, the Omniscient Narrator is actually stating that he would (as in definitive) bring forth the end of Creation
...?
Don't quite catch your meaning here.

Reality Warping period, not just Proteus', which would include Jamie's own, which makes your argument nonsensical. That essentially shows that simply using Reality Warping powers to make one immune from them doesn't make your powers greater than those that mentioned person is immune to.
By your logic, Longshot possesses greater power than Proteus given that he can shield himself and others from the direct effects of his Reality Warping. Yet, that would flat out make no sense, given narration, showings, and what Proteus does to Longshot in a definitive "What if?" future (he owns him along with the rest of the Exiles) as seen in Exiles #90.

Absence of proof =/= proof of absence. Not displaying that level of power doesn't mean that he doesn't have it. As I said, in a definitive "What IF?" future, Proteus, through his sheer power, is able to bring forth the end of creation. Nothing even hints at Jim Jaspers having a level of power anywhere close to that.
