While there are many mutants that have chosen to take sides in the war waged both against and on behalf of humanity, for a longtime Mister M was not a willing participant. With a complicated and traumatic past, Mister M would choose to only rarely use his powers and live a life of solitude in order to protect himself and others from the immense power that he could wield with a simple touch of a hand.

Though his powers were immense and devasting, the quiet and typically kind mutant would often focus on healing and fixing what he could with his abilities, but the life of an Omega-level mutant is rarely that simple.

10 He Turned A Bully Inside Out (Literally)

Like many mutants throughout the course of their publication history, Absolon Zebardyn Mercator experienced trauma due to the manifestation of his mutant abilities. A native to Belgium, Absolon stumbled upon incident wherein his cousin was being bullied. Hoping to stop the bullying, Absolon reached out and touched the bully.

Unfortunately for both the bully and Absolon, this precise moment would be the instance in which Absolon’s reality-warping abilities would manifest. The bully’s body would be literally be turned inside out and three days later he would apparently die from the trauma. After this incident, Absolon would be sent away from his home in Belgium and move to the U.S. with other relatives.

9 Incredibly Powerful, But Sidelined Himself

As a reality-warping Omega-level mutant, Absolon, otherwise known as Mister M, is among the very top tier level mutants. In fact, there are very few mutants in the universe that are as uniquely capable as Mister M. However, after the incident involving the bully early in his childhood, Mister M became rather reclusive.

Though he was one of the most powerful mutants to have ever been born, he purposely sidelined himself in order to avoid any accidental abuses of his tremendous power. Rather, he would stay at home during the day fixing toasters and other such devices with the help of his abilities and only come out at night when he knew others would be safe from his influence.

8 Altering Subatomic Structures

While Mister M and mutants like him are often identified as reality-warpers, what Mister M is actually doing is altering the world around him on a subatomic level. When it comes to psionically altering subatomic structures, Mister M’s capabilities are near-endless.

He’s been shown to be capable of reverting matter to energy and back again, he can reconfigure all forms of matter into different substances and just about anything he chooses to make a reality will become reality. This godly capacity makes him capable of almost anything.

7 Reality Warper, But Not On Par With Franklin Richards

While Mister M is, thanks to his reality-warping abilities and Omega-level status, one of the most powerful mutants in existence, there is at least one mutant that has him beat in both reality-warping prowess and power scale, Franklin Richards. Though Mister M is, in fact, capable warping reality around him, for the purposes of better understand his abilities, fans might venture to think of him as more of a local reality-warper -- meaning that in order to affect the universe around him, Mister M must be in the vicinity of that which he wishes to change (this was upgraded from his original ability in which it was necessary for him to physically touch what he hoped to rearrange).

In contrast, Franklin Richards can be thought of as a universal reality-warper, able to affect change in any manner he sees fit, regardless of how close he is in proximity to his objective.

6 He Can Create A Nuclear Explosion From Thin Air

Because he has the ability to affect change on a subatomic scale, Mister M’s abilities make him one of the most dangerous weapons of mass destruction to ever be born. Should he choose to use his abilities in such a manner, Mister M could use them to split the atoms in the air around him and set off an explosion that could rival or best any atom bomb that has ever been created.

Thankfully, for human and mutant-kind alike, Mister M has more or less refrained from using his abilities to cause harm to others.

5 Activation Or Negation Of Mutant Abilities

One of the many benefits that come along with Mister M’s near god-like abilities is that he is able to both activate or negate the X-factor of other mutants. While there are obvious benefits like negating attacks from various opponents or helping bolster a team of mutants, one of the first and primary uses for this aspect of Mister M’s abilities comes in the form of helping out his fellow mutants.

While there are mutants like Jean Grey, Scott Summers and Mister M himself that can easily fit in with society, there are many mutants who aren’t so lucky. So, in order to help those less fortunate, Mister M has been shown as removing their mutations and ridding them of the burden of the mutated appearance.

4 The Gift That Keeps On Giving

When it comes to playing god, whether it be with themselves or with others, there are very few beings in the Marvel landscape as capable as Mister M. Not only is Mister M capable of activating or negating the X-factor in other mutants, but he’s also been shown to be capable of changing his own physiology for the purposes of further evolving himself.

Through his manipulation of the subatomic particles within his own body, Mister M can give himself powers like telepathy, superhuman durability and even telekinesis.

3 Kept His Powers After House Of M

Whether it be because of his immense power as a mutant or his ability to warp reality around himself, Mister M was one of the only 198 mutants that managed to hang on to their abilities after the events of House Of M.

Though the events of House Of M would lead to a cataclysmic shift in the Marvel landscape, especially for the mutants of Marvel, they would also cause a cataclysmic shift for Mister M personally as well. Recognizing that his people were in trouble, Mister M made his way to X Manor, which was being used as a safe haven for the remaining mutants.

2 Modified Abilities

As previously mentioned, When Mister M was first introduced, one of the requirements for using his powers was that he needed to be in physical contact with whatever he hoped to change. However, after the events of House Of M, Mister M can be seen using his abilities on objects that are in his immediate vicinity.

So, like many mutants before and after him, at a certain point, Mister M’s abilities evolved and made him even more powerful than he already was.

1 A Pretty Nice Guy, Undone By Leech

Throughout this article, there’s been a spotlight shed on just what a good person Mister M was. Over the course of his publication history, Mister M can be seen time and again doing whatever he can to help other mutants. From healing disfigured mutants after House Of M to doing his best to save his fellow mutants in the aftermath, it’s become clear that despite his immense power, Mister M is a gentle, nurturing and caring individual.

He even toppled a sentinel in order to spare the life of a caterpillar that the sentinel had almost crushed. In fact, it is this act that truly puts on the radar of O*N*E* who would eventually use a mind-controlled Johnny Dee to make a voodoo doll of Leech who in-turn depowered Mister M, leaving him susceptible to Magma’s attack, which (apparently) killed Mister M. Or helped him become something more.
