Please do not list characters or examples from shows, movies or alternate universe versions here. If you've thought of a trope that fits an alternate version of the characters, please take that example to its respective sheet.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/weapon_omega_0.jpg

Alter Ego: Michael Pointer

Notable Aliases: Collective, Guardian, Weapon Omega

First Appearance: New Avengers #16 (February, 2006)

An unassuming mailman in Alaska who inadvertently absorbed all the energy created by the Scarlet Witch's depowering of most of the mutant population.


  • All Your Powers Combined: Was introduced having absorbed a mass of energy representing the powers lost by mutants depowered by Wanda Maximoff. Carol describes getting hit by him as having countless different abilities assaulting her body all at once.

  • Odd Friendship: With Mimic, which doubles as Heterosexual Life-Partners.
  • Energy Absorption: He is able to absorb the energy of other mutants and project the energy outward in powerful blasts.
  • Pent-Up Power Peril: He was Put on a Bus in X-Men Legacy when an odd reaction causes a build-up of power within his body that risks eventual detonation. His only hope is to be put in cryostasis until a way to cure him can be found.
  • Power Incontinence: He has no conscious control over his powers. The arc that introduces him has him being possessed by the consciousness of Xorn in the mass of energy empowering him, while Osborn later press-gangs him into joining the Dark X-Men by covertly using MGH on his coworkers, making them mutant enough to be at risk of being drained to death by his powers.
  • Power Parasite: His ability is remotely absorbing the powers of other mutants, even humans empowered by Mutant Growth Hormone. His introduction involved him discovering his powers because he was basically a lightning rod for a mass of energy derived from mutants depowered on M-Day.
  • Those Two Guys: From Dark X-Men through X-Men Legacy he and Mimic were inseparable. XML finally broke them up by way of putting the Power Incontinence-suffering Pointer on ice.
  • Unwitting Pawn: To Norman Osborn during his stint as a Dark X-Man.
