Who is x man

X-Man is a confirmed Omega-level mutant. Upon examination by Moira Mactaggert, she suggested his psionic powers rival that of Jean Grey when imbued with the Phoenix Force. He was measured as having a psionic energy output matching that of the Dark Phoenix. Nate's powers are apparently restored. Until recently, he only had an echo of his former telekinesis, struggling to lift even the smallest objects, with all his other powers have seemingly vanished.

Though his powers have come in gone in the past, dire life threatening situations have been shown to jump-start Nate's powers - once he lost his Telekinesis, and he sought out Moira Mactaggert and she tricked him into a life or death situation and his Telekinesis came back in response. Nate dubbed this technique 'X marks the spot'. By using this technique Nate was able to regain a large amount of his telekinetic power, enough to hold off two Asgardian demons, the Draumar. He also demonstrated low level telepathy, being able to gain the control of the minds of animals, like a velociraptor, and hold a psionic link with the mind of a future tech-enhanced Cypher.

Now, his abilities to tap into the virtually unlimited psychic resources of the astral plane in order to manipulate matter and energy are restored. This grants him incredible psychic powers including telepathy and telekinesis. He can use his telepathy to read minds and even read residual thought imprints that have been left on objects touched by people, communicate with others by broadcasting his thoughts, control minds, scan and alter the memories of others, create illusions by altering the perceptions of others, fire psionic blasts that can scramble an opponent's thought processes causing either intense pain, unconsciousness, or death , give substance to astral energy to solidify psychic forms, project his mind into the astral plane and even pull the astral projections of other telepaths into the physical world, and sense dimensional rifts or anomalies.

Nate possessed telepathy of the first order and was unmatched by any other telepath. His telepathy proved great enough in power and scope as to allow him to read thoughts across vast distances, and even interface with multiple minds, simultaneously. His telepathy was so great that even while inexperienced and weakened, his powers enabled him to easily block and even overcome telepaths such as Charles Xavier.

He was even able to hide his mind from Cerebro, which is impossible for even the strongest mutants to accomplish. Most recently, he has demonstrated the ability to communicate with every person on the planet simultaneously, without discernible effort, a feat that both Cassandra Nova and Jean Grey could only manage with technological enhancement. He was also controlling Magneto, and possibly the other three Horsemen of Salvation, at the time.

Nate's telepathy also allows him to understand or translate any language. Nate has also displayed amazing feats in precognition, clairvoyance, and time manipulation. In one instance, he stepped outside the flow of time and into Planck Time. Here, he was able to view the future in all of its possible variations; Nate himself claimed that he had over ways of seeing the future.

Nate's telekinesis is so powerful that he can move massive objects with his mind, fire blasts of psychokinetic energy that can shatter steel his upper limit is unknown; he was shown to be easily capable of shattering the Moon or destroying all of Asia , create mental barriers that can stop even the most powerful of attacks including energy beams capable of destroying planets , and levitate himself to fly at supersonic speeds.

His control over his telekinesis is so acute he can create holograms by mentally manipulating water molecules and dust to refract light, bend security lasers around himself to avoid detection, make himself or others invisible by bending light waves, and even move the atoms of a wall around his own so that he passes through the wall like a ghost.

He can even use his telekinesis to channel the Earth's magnetic field through the electro-currents of his brain to create devastating Electro-Magnetic Pulses EMPs and even psionically isolate the entire planet's gravitational pull.

Nate could also use his telekinesis to transport himself to any location and even into other dimensions by mentally bending the dimensional barriers that separate one reality from another. Nate was capable of very fine control over objects down to the molecular level. He could telekinetically move the chemicals in someone's brain around, disassemble complex devices explosively separating every last component, such as screws, nuts, circuit boards, etc.

This also enabled him to even attain awareness and control over objects as small as individual electrons in an atom. For instance, Nate could detect if a seal was hermetic or not, by checking for the presence of penetrating oxygen molecules. He could even detect and discern individual oxygen molecules, and determine the atomic weight of molecules, by the amount of atoms present. Nate also has the ability to direct his telekinetic powers inwards to grant himself superhuman physical attributes.

After becoming one with Earth, X-Man has ascended to a higher state of existence. Nate is now able to exist as a being of pure psionic energy, unrestrained by the boundaries of the physical world.

He is also capable of physical reconstitution by absorbing psionic energy to reform his body if he desires. Along with learning to rebuild his physical form, X-Man's heightened state of existence has allowed him to convert his body into pure psychic energy and possess people. He used this power to possess Norman Osborn. While possessing someone, he can also explore their mind from the inside. It is possible that if he possesses a mutant, he can use their powers along with his own.

An alternate version of Jean Grey, "Queen Jean", described Nate Grey as the ultimate telekinetic with the statement: "It is what all Nate Greys have been on every earth". Nate also possesses some degree of skill in acting and showmanship, which he learnt from his time with Forge's Outcasts.

Nate employed these skills to his and Threnody's benefit during their time in Washington Square. During his time with the New Mutants, Nate was shown to be a capable pilot of the Blackbird aircraft. Cable is largely accepted as Nate's mainstream counterpart, as it has been stated that they share an identical genetic structure.

This has lead to an enormous and painful telepathic feedback for them both whenever they are in close proximity to one another. Sinister in some way, and both had found purpose in destroying Apocalypse. Since Cable is X-Man's counterpart it can be assumed that alternate versions of Cable can also be considered alternate versions of Nate Grey. In this world mutants and humans have agreed to coexist with one another.

During an attack on the new police officers who were composed of the ex-X-Men and Prime Sentinels , Wolverine received a major brain injury and became a super-terrorist. The reality the Red Queen conquered. In this world Nate was genetic failure and his powers fluctuated and eventually switched places with the real Nate, also giving him the genetic brand that prevented him from burning away.

He was killed by the Red Queen when she discovered it was not the real Nate she was looking for. The Red Queen also showed multiple other Nate Grey s she had 'collected' from various other realities.

During the Ages of Apocalypse event one of the realities that were created was a universe where Professor X led the mutant skulls. In this reality Nate had never became a shaman, his powers never destroyed him and lived to become an aged member of the X-Man. In this reality Nate had grown to look greatly in appearance to Cable even being mistaken for him by an elderly Sunfire. Nate never became a shaman and instead became a pacifist and anti-war maniac, destroying any weapon he saw could hurt humanity, the X-Men tried to stop him.

When Professor X attacked the world, Sinister lost track of the children and the next time he found them they were in a facility held by a benevolent Apocalypse from Sinister evil ways. Sinister accelerated the boy's growth and dubbed him X-Man, whom he later used as a weapon against his foes.

Twenty years after Professor X and Magneto's deaths, Nate leads an alternate version of the Defenders to confront Apocalypse. When the team finds out the truth about their reality following Doctor Strange 's sacrifice, they vow not to change the past but defeat Apocalypse in the present.

After the team finally vanquishes Apocalypse, this Nate took the Eye of Agamotto from Brother Voodoo and stole Apocalypse's armor in order to attempt to correct the timeline. Captain America confronts him and fires a lightning bolt from Mjolnir , which not only kills Nate but also hundreds of others across the time portal he had opened.

The Nate Grey of this universe went by the codename of Professor X. This Nate was one of the three most powerful beings of this reality, along with Thor and Nicola Zeitgeist , together they were apart of the team the People's Protectorate. When the villain Qabiri sought to destroy this reality the People's Protectorate opposed him, unfortunately the team failed and the reality was destroyed with only Nicola Zeitgeist surviving having been saved by the real Nate Grey.

Locked in combat the two ultimately destroyed themselves from the massive power feedback, tragically half of the earth was also destroyed. Jericho is a Metamutant and a member of X-Patrol.

Onslaught Nate and Threnody took a break in the Mediterranean, which both of them enjoyed. Apocalyptic Reunion After his checkup with Moira, Havok and Fatale of the Brotherhood arrived and offered to help Nate get his telekinesis back.

The Red Queen But after a while Nate began to trust the people in this new world and even managed to bond with a few of them including the real Jean Grey and Cyclops and his alternate brother Cable.

Shaman of the Mutant Tribe The Mutant Shaman After the defeat of the evil Queen, Nate set out to make a difference in the world and considered himself a Mutant Shaman, a teaching he embraced from the alternate version of himself. Posing as Osborn Admitting it, Nate revealed himself to Mystique, but completely turned the situation around, by accusing her for coming to him with demands, and not as one mutant to another. Unfinished Business After reorganizing the New Mutants under Dani Moonstar's lead, Cyclops tasks them with their first mission to find Nate and bring him home.

Therapy Dani Moonstar invites one of her old friends, psychiatrist Gus Grim , to Utopia to start doing psyche evaluations and therapy for her squad. Fear Itself Dani gets a distress call from Hela, who is currently under attack in her realm of Hel, and when her plane goes down the New Mutants try to decide what to do.

There are some films which take the genre to some other level.

This film is definitely the one to do so in the superhero genre. Good : There's a whole bunch of good things that I can talk about. Bryan Singer does his best to tell the story, considering the comparatively weak script for an experimental film like this.

Given that there had been no introduction to any of the characters prior to this film, it does a really good job to make them interesting. Plus, it establishes the conflict between Eric and Xavier, which have been an integral part of many films that came afterwards.

Not to mention, the character introduction, especially that of Wolverine, was incredible. We instantly know the basic characterization given to each of them, which was enough to get behind the movie. Hugh Jackman was the optimal choice for the role of Wolverine, and he proved it for next 17 years. Every single actor have done a good job in their roles. Also, I believe that X-Men films have been the best superhero films when it comes to "social" themes.

We get to see the first of many times two friends with different world views clashing with one another. It has grown incredibly stale now, but was great to see back then and some other films after this, especially First Class and DoFP. The mutants wanting to be accepted by humans, and the other mutants wanting to destroy mankind - what other superhero series have given such a theme, or a similar one?

While I prefer these over the first X-Men movie, if it didn't bring the genre back on track, we would've never gotten such films. Mixed : It feels dated. Had it been made today, it would've been a lackluster. It was clear that they were trying to experiment with this movie and still figuring out how to get things right. While they got most of the things right, they could've made the story a little more complex.

Bad : The story is quite a bit of a throwaway story. While there's an interesting twist, it still feels like the movie becomes a little goofy and cartoony after that twist. Some moments feel like they were shoehorned just to give some "comic accuracy", but they didn't feel justified. Forge also told them how this alternate Jean Grey had used him to make her a machine so she could travel from parallel world to parallel world.

At this point, they were attacked by Madelyne's personal bodyguard, Mr. Scratch and in the process, merged parts of themselves to throw him off. Scratch's mutant power was that no other mutant power had any effect on him, so the Nates had to literally change characteristics to fool him.

After the merger, only one Nate remained, so Mr. Scratch crippled him and brought him back to Madelyne, who quickly realized that Mr. Scratch had the wrong Nate. The broken version of Nate told Madelyne he sent Nate somewhere she would never find him.

She killed the broken Nate and began to power her parallel world device to find Nate again, but Nate returned and put an end to her world conquering days. As a result of the merger of the two Nate's, a black x-shaped tattoo appeared on Nate's chest to act as a genetic brand - passed on to him from the alternate version of himself - that prevented his powers from killing him as they had threatened to do from the start.

After the defeat of this evil "Queen Jean", Nate set out to make a difference in the world and considered himself a Mutant Shaman, a teaching he embraced from the alternate version of himself. Nate became immensely powerful, and had few qualms about using his power to mete out justice to his fellow mutants. He then dealt with and stopped the madman Qabiri from destroying all alternate earths on the Spiral of Earths.

Qabiri was a being from an alternate Earth far upspiral, he wanted to destroy every earth below his on the Spiral of Earths because he feared that someone from these lower earths would one day invade his earth and bring it to ruin. Qabiri succeeded in destroying several alternate earths before Nate was able to stop him. Finally, he confronted the Anti-Man, an alien sent to Earth to insinuate his genetic code into all living cells on the planet so that his people could harvest the resulting energy.

To save the world from destruction, Nate merged himself with the Anti-Man, in essence "poisoning" the cells of Earth with his presence, and dissipating both of them across the globe. Dark Beast commented that the peculiar circumstances of X-Man's demise would theoretically allow him to be restored to life. Nate resurfaces once more, in a small town, where his presence causes several of the inhabitants to dreamwalk and continuously repeat "I'm an X-Man.

As Norman's X-Men investigate, both Mimic and Omega are overwhelmed with Nate's energies and go on a rampage leaving Mystique and Dark Beast alone with a patient that they were examining.

Shortly Nate once more takes physical form, much to Beast's shock and horror, believing Mystique to be his mother Jean Grey, since she had taken her form. Nate angrily attacks Beast but doesn't realize that Jean is actually Mystique who manages to distract him long enough in order to save Dark Beast's life. Following that incident Osborn tasks his X-Men to hunt down and possibly capture Nate for experimentation and to feed Weapon Omega. In order to do that the Osborn's X-Men go to H. The PSI-Division manages to contact Nate only for him to absorb most of their psychic energies and to learn what has happened to the world and to the mutant race in his absence.

Angrily he demands to know what they, presumably Osborn's X-Men, had done. Nate finally manages to materialize and confronts Norman's X-Men. He dispatches the Sentry by telling him of their mutual past, something that he claims to be the truth, which upsets Sentry so that he retreats in order to consider this.
