September 3, 2023 -
As per the title.
When I think of Omega-level mutants, I think of individuals with reality warping powers. Powers that can defy reality. Or powers like Magneto, that can potentially have cataclysmic effects not just on Earth, but on a galactic level.
I read somewhere that Gambit had Omega-level potential. How does that work? He can only make things explode. How does that work on an Omega level? He charges the Earth and makes the whole world explode? That's kind of a useless power, since he dies along with it...

Well now to be omega he’d just need to have no upper limit to his powerset. Have absolute control over kinetic energy would probably qualify him.

In terms of power, what level is Gambit on, and who is the strongest he is able to beat?
I don't think he is that strong. He'd have to get a hold of them first. I think if he could get one of Spiderman's webs as he was on it be might have a chance. But if a playing card goes off like a grenade, and maybe he can throw a rock or something else a bit larger I mean, Iron Man's armor probably will hold up against it.
He probably could beat guys like Daredevil, since his primary fighting mode is hand to hand. And I'd like to see him in a throwing match with Bullseye. Bullseye is the better thrower, but Remy can make things explode.
I'd say anyone who can fly is probably out unless they have a careless nature.

Gambit's Powers, Explained | Marvel
August 9, 2024 - Gambit can also control the amount of charge he gives any object to change the size of the explosion and how quickly it detonates. While he can give a few playing cards enough of a charge to blow up a car, the master thief has also used his powers to quietly open countless locked doors. LeBeau frequently channels kinetic energy through his bo staff to make its strikes stronger or create small shockwaves, but he doesn't put enough energy into it to make it explosive.

Gambit is extremely powerful and useful
He doesn't use his full power on every throw of his cards, and he doesn't currently have access to his full power either. But by all accounts he has the potential to be omega level – at one point he requested Mr Sinister to help him control his powers, and have a bit of his brain removed (X-Men Origins: Gambit #2. Marvel Comics).
An alternative version of him called New Sun, one without the brain surgery, visits from an alternate reality and is shown to be extremely powerful (Gambit vol. 3 #23).
Along with this, Gambit has a host of other abilities that make him useful to the X-Men, as listed in this respect thread on Reddit:
Gambit can increase or accelerate the kinetic energy of an object by touching it. Increasing an object's kinetic energy, or "charging" it, has different applications, but Gambit most often charges throwing cards and other inanimate objects so that they explode. Gambit's innate biokinetic energy also grants passive powers such as him superhuman agility, telepathic resistance, and charm.
In summary, he's definitely able to pull his weight, but knows when and how to best apply his powers rather than just use brute force every time.

I don't think the X-men are assembled like a basketball team where the one with the best skillset in each area is chosen, and the rest are "benched." Most of them grew up with Prof X and the others as their family, and those that are able bodied and willing to fight and go on missions are allowed to do so (provided they've demonstrated a minimum level of combat skill in the Danger Room).

You don't need to be omega-level to be extremely powerful. All Omega means is unlimited potential, not how currently powerful they are right now. Apocalypse, Selene, Rogue, Gambit, Charles, etc... are all extremely powerful alpha mutants that can probably level entire countries or possibly planets, but do have a limits to their powers. Selene needs to drain others, Apocalypse uses technology to enhance his powers, Charles is less powerful than Jean, and Rogue can get overwhelmed by who she touches.
