Kid Omega
Quentin Quire
A rebellious Omega-level telepath and one of the most powerful mutants alive. Quentin Quire is brilliant, insufferable, and perpetually convinced he's the smartest person in any room (and he's usually right). From leading a riot at Xavier's to becoming a reluctant hero on Krakoa, Kid Omega embodies mutant punk defiance.

Kid Omega remains one of the most polarizing X-Men characters, with readers either loving his arrogant punk genius persona or finding him insufferable. Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, where Quentin first appeared as a rebellious telepath who sparked a riot at the Xavier Institute, is widely considered his definitive story, though his characterization has been inconsistent across subsequent runs. His role in the Krakoa era has done little to win over detractors, with many fans openly expressing antipathy toward the character despite his prominent placement in books like X-Force.
