A missle will not stop Omega Red, Omega Red's healing factor is better than Wolverine's healing factor. (shown in X-men: Liberators). Wolverine has survived nukes in the past.
I removed the following from the article because I really don't think RPG stats belong in Wikipedia. Since large numbers of these "vital stats" sections have been added to various articles, I'm using Talk:Strength level (comics) to discuss this issue in general. Bryan 07:54, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

- Reflexes: Enhanced Human(beyond the natural limits of the human body)

- Other powers: Omega Red is a mutant with superhuman strength and the ability to emit lethal pheromones from his body. He has carbonadium tendrils and possibly a skeleton bonded with the carbonadium alloy, which is highly resistant to damage, but isn't nearly as durable as Adamantium. He appears to be a prototype of Wolverine in many respects. He is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant.
[edit] Death Factor
Omega reds phermone is most assurdly called his Death Factor, as i recall he himself uses the term in x-Factor #241. His death factor is __, well there's no way to say it he is unable to be killed, the only way to stop him is to cryogenicly freeze him and even that only works for so long. So I'm saying it Omega Red Is the only true emortal on the X-men
[edit] Omega Red's healing factor
Omega Red is dependent on how much life energy he drains. At his highest rate, he doesn't even bleed after being cut on the face by Wolverine. This is certainly better than Wolverine's and Sabretooth's healing factor. T-1000 04:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Aside from healing from some lacerations, what is the most severe injury that Omega Red's healed from? He's a fairly obscure character if you think about it, popping up to be a villain in a few issues of a certain comic book every couple of years and has one of the most abyssmal win/loss records for a villain that I've ever seen. I'm not familiar with all of Omega Red's appearances, but I don't really think that anything has happened to show that his healing powers are superior to those of Wolverine or Sabretooth. Both have healed injuries in the past without their being any bleeding, it all depends on liberal a certain writer feels like being on that particular issue or issues. I don't think there's enough evidence to positively say that his healing powers are superior.Odin's Beard
[edit] Omega Red
As it can see seen in later panels of X-Men #7, Omega Red's custome is fine after, no signs of being punched through. As, it was able to resist Wolverine's claws and stayed intact (when Wolverine's own custome was ripped open) from their fight in X-Men #5. The only thing that can stand up to Wolverine's claws is Carbonadium. T-1000 20:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I don't see that at all. I can see Wolverine's claws slicing through the material in issue 7 and drawing blood. During his battle with Psylocke, she drives her katana through his chest and punctures his left lung. The panel shows Omega Red placing his hand over the wound. In order to penetrate his chest cavity and puncture his lung, her katana would have to go through the material of his costume, which it does. Odin's Beard 23:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Carbonadium Skeleton
I don't have all of the comics featuring appearances by Omega Red and I'm wondering what issue it's stated that his skeleton is bonded with carbonadium? I know that people are going to reference the cover of X-Men vol.2 #5, regarding a wound to Omega Red's head that reveals part of his skeleton, and appears to be metallic. Comic book covers often feature artwork on events that don't actually happen in the issue so, without some canonical text to back it up, I don't know if it's really accurate to say that his skeleton is bonded with carbonadium. Also, the statement about damaging carbonadium with adamantium requiring enormous pressure needs a reference source. Ordinarily, I wouldn't think to ask, but Omega Red is a character that's had probably less than 20 total appearances in various comics over the past 15 years. I've never read anything about carbonadium in an issue that doesn't involve Omega Red and, coupled with his rare appearances, might mean a reference wouldn't be too difficult to find. That is, if there is a reference. Odin's Beard 00:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fan/Critical reaction
There needs to be a section that puts this character into context. What writer created him and why? How well has the character been received by fans? Many characters created in the 90s have not aged well. Is Omega Red a dated character? --24.249.108.133 13:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
A section devoted to fan reaction and opinion of the character goes against Wikipedia's policy on neutrality. Personal opinions comic book fans have of the characters aren't encyclopedic and belong on forums and fan sites. As to who created him, the the creators of the characters are always listed in the superhero box. In this case, the creators of the character are Jim Lee and John Byrne. There's no reason why they couldn't be mentioned in the introduction or publication history. As to why they created the character, I don't know if that information exists anywhere unless you can find a 15 year old interview that they gave regarding Omega Red.Odin's Beard 15:03, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
