Iceman is the least capable of the Omega-class mutants, but his new abilities fully justify that classification.
Warning: Contains potential spoilers Mutant #20!The X-Men’s Iceman has new powers, proving his status as an official Omega-class mutant. It seems hard to believe, but Iceman is Omega level, which means he is one of the most powerful mutants on Earth.in preview mutant #20, he demonstrated another new ability: being completely immune to Brood’s infection while in ice form. The reveal doesn’t come too soon, as the X-Men are up against an entire lair of the galaxy’s deadliest predators.
In this preview, written by Gerry Duggan, drawn by Stefano Caselli, colored by Federico Blee and written by Clayton Cowles, the X-Men arrive to help Cyclops’ father, Corsair, whose ship was attacked by Brood. Corsair was implanted with a brood egg, which would have killed him when hatched, but was safely removed. Now, the rest of the X-Men are fighting the rest of the brothers while they try to evacuate the facility and escape.

Iceman is fulfilling his god level potential
In the Marvel Universe, mutants are divided into different classes based on their strength, with the Omega class being the highest. Omega level mutants are rare, and Iceman is one of them. As mentioned, Iceman doesn’t appear to be an Omega-level mutant. In fact, for many years, Iceman hasn’t reached his full Omega-level potential, but things have changed over the past few years, and Bobby Drake is now increasingly dependent on his powers.
Iceman immunity is very important
Of all the alien races in the Marvel Universe, Brood may be the most to blame; being attacked by Brood becomes Brood. They are making life miserable not just for the X-Men but for the entire galaxy, and the ability to resist them is a big deal. Populations evolved earlier than the entire universe, including many different types of non-living organisms. Iceman’s immunity – especially compared to pure stone or energy-dwelling creatures that are still vulnerable to attack by cubs – seems to confirm once and for all that his ice form is not. his real body, which was created by his larger Soul Golem with mind control (this is why he was once able to create multiple ice clones and control them. ) In stories like Championship Competition IIand even creatures like the Phoenix and Hulk are susceptible to Brood infection, showing just how divine the Iceman has become.
Is the Iceman on a dark road?
As this preview shows, Iceman is using his Omega level powers more and more. However, the trailer ends with Iceman, barely able to hide his anger and disgust, ready to kill any puppy he can get his hands on. More recently, Iceman enjoys wounding human opponents, freezing and breaking their limbs as a warning to stop harming mutants. Omega level power finally reached Iceman? The Beast, Iceman’s original X-Men partner, has taken a dark and irreversible path – will Iceman follow in his footsteps? Or will his inherent good nature win in the end? Despite that, Iceman’s omega-level powers continue to grow and his ability to resist Brood makes him an essential member of the X-Men in future alien battles.
