Powers and Abilities
Quentin Quire is an Omega level mutant. His primary powers are telepathy and hyper-intelligence, but he later displayed telekinesis. Emma Frost said that Quentin's mind processed over thousands of brilliant thoughts a second, this was while he was not under the effects of the drug kick. She also said that she and Professor X could not hope to keep up with him, and Professor X commended him for his intelligence and potential. Due to his superhuman intelligence Quentin burns through calories a lot faster and is therefore usually seen eating chocolate bars. When his secondary mutation triggered, Quentin evolved into a being of pure psionic energy and he was able to guide Phoenix when she mended the 616 timeline.
His telepathy allowed him to do things such as read minds, telepathically attack others. He also displayed more subtle and complex methods of applying his powers, such as locking Wolverine in a memory loop and affect others opinion of him without them being aware of it. Since Wolverine has some natural telepathic resistance and mental blocks implanted by Professor Xavier, this speaks volumes of Quentin Quire's telepathy. He was also able to read Beast's mind with no problems, who has similar blocks. In order to defeat him the stepford cuckoos felt that it was necessary to use both the drug kick and cerebra, which would have amplified their collective power up to 70 times, cerebra being 10 and kick 7.
In Phoenix Endsong Quentin displayed impressive telekinetic abilities. He was able to effortlessly freeze everything and everybody in the x-mansion. He was able to keep up a battle with the x-men, albeit inexperienced in combat, and halt the bleeding from his wounds. His telekinesis was rather precise for being in its nascent stage, as Quentin was able to partially reconstruct Sophie's decayed corpse. Tapping into the phoenix force he was actually able to bring her back to life. The Phoenix Force also requires the host to be an omega class mutant and of some ability, which is shown when Quentin displayed such a high degree of control.
Psychic Constructs
Quentin has displayed the ability to create psychic constructs, similar to those of Psylocke and Rachel Grey. Among these psychic constructs that have so far been seen are: psychic shotgun, large psychic fists, psychic sword, psychic knife, psychic Wolverine claws, psychic X-23 claws, a psychic bouquet of flowers and a card, and others.
Abilities
Like all students at Xavier's school for the gifted, Quentin has received training in various martial arts. He has also psychically absorbed the fighting abilities of Wolverine, making him an expert physical combatant, though Quentin would much rather effortlessly take down his opponents with telepathy. His genius level intellect has been compounded by the knowledge he's gained from the likes of Hank McCoy.
Origin
Quentin Quire joined the student body of the Xavier Institute after Professor X's return from averting a war with Genosha and the rebuilding of the X-Mansion. He immediately stood out as a brilliant intellect and quickly became Xavier's prize pupil, though the extent and type of his mutant abilities were never clearly defined
Quentin kept a piece of newspaper with him from the day he was born. It was the cover of an issue of the Daily Bugle which was put out at a time when mutants had just begun to be noticed in society. The main artwork on the page was a picture of a mutant with a whip that had rather distinctive clothing and hairstyle. The image represented the fear that humans felt towards mutants at the time.
As is sometimes the case with extremely bright, promising youth, Quentin was not socially adept, and resented it. He had feelings for the Stepford Cuckoos Sophie, but the Cukoos found him to be disturbing. He only had one classmate that he would hang out with, Glob Herman, which didn't help his social status. He found one of his tormentors, Slick, to be particularly irritating because Slick's ultra-cool image was a charade generated by his power to generate illusions.
Creation
Quentin Quire was created by Grant Morrison and artist Keron Grant.
Character Evolution
Quentin Quire has been a constant nuisance to the X-Men since his debut at the riot. After his release from prison at the onset of Schism, Wolverine felt responsible to take Quentin into his care/imprisonment at the new Jean Grey School. While attending, albeit reluctantly, he has begun to engage with the other students, Idie Okwono in particular.
Major Story Arcs
Riot at Xavier's
Quentin began to fall into a downward spiral around the time of the death of famed mutant fashion designer Jumbo Carnation. He had recently received a phone call from his mother informing him that he was actually adopted. This news brought up questions about his very identity. Quentin lashed out at Slick one of his main tormentors, revealing Slick's true appearance in front of the student body, in particular his girlfriend Longstrike. Quentin began to use the mutant enhancing drug Kick, and his brain began to work overtime burning sugar as fuel. He visited the site of Jumbo's murder and decided to get his hair cut in the same manner as the mutant in the artist's depiction on his newspaper cover. He returned to the mansion also wearing clothing designed by the late Jumbo Carnation. With the X-Mansion's public open house coming up Quentin wished to make a confrontational statement about how far mutants have come by embracing stereotypical images generated by fearful humans.
Omega Gang
With his identity coming into question, Quentin had attached himself to Jumbo's death. Quentin's brain function had also increased dramatically. As Emma Frost put it, Quentin's brain was processing over 10,000 brilliant ideas per second. Quentin would have a public confrontation with Professor Xavier during their telepathy class. He openly challenged Xavier's ideals of tolerance in favor of a much more radical view of human mutant relations, desiring not to live in a world side-by-side with Jumbo's human killers. This display impressed several other students who began to follow Quentin's line of thinking. With Glob Herman still by his side fellow students Tattoo, Phaser, and Skybolt adopted the same clothing as Quentin forming the Omega Gang. Now all five were abusing Kick, and ventured outside of the mansion that night. In a back-alley they found a group of humans who they savagely beat, killing some.
Xavier and the rest of the school faculty knew that Quentin was becoming dangerous, subtly influencing those around him with his telepathy, but they were unable to come to agreement on how to resolve the situation. Quentin led the Omega Gang in a raid of a U-Men hide-out, killing all they found inside. When the group returned to the mansion they ambushed Xavier in his office, knocking him out with a baseball bat. The following day was to be the day of the open house.
When Xavier became conscious again he was wearing a mask similar in design to the helmet Magneto wore. As Magneto's helmet disallowed telepathy from getting into his brain, this helmet prevented Xavier's telepathy from reaching anyone else. As the open house was beginning Quentin announced that they were holding Xavier hostage and began a riot at the school. Quentin influenced the student population of the school into demonstrating which evolved into a full fledged riot when the X-Men approached to calm the situation. In order to stop Quentin, Sophie took a does of Kick and using the power of Cerebro the five Cuckoos enhanced their already great power level to take down Quentin. Quentin was left beaten and humbled, and the strain of the incident had killed Sophie.
Quentin was taken into Beast's lab. Quentin's neurons were continuing to accelerate the rate at which they were firing until, one-by-one, they were turning into faster-than-light energy and disappearing. Beast could only hypothesize that the stimulation by Kick had triggered a secondary mutation within Quentin. Xorn was brought in to heal him, but what was happening could not be stopped. Xorn helped ease Quentin into a different state of being, killing his body. Just before Xorn committed euthanasia Quentin asked Xavier what would happen if he was wrong, and the enemy was among them. He could have been referring to Xorn at the time, who was lated forced by Sublime to duplicate Magneto. It is possible that Xorn knew that Quentin had figured it out at the time, and killed him to keep it a secret.
Phoenix: Endsong
His body was destroyed, and his mind was kept in a semi conscious form in Beast's lab, where it was eventually brought back to full consciousness and then given a body by the Phoenix Force returning to earth. He then attempted to resurrect his lost love, Sophie. Unfortunately Quentin was only able to use his telekinesis to reconstruct her body, he did not possess the ability to bring her back from the dead. With the help of the phoenix force however she was returned to life. This did not last more than a second though as Sophie was apparently disgusted and chose to remain dead. Whether she was still disgusted by him, or repulsed by the actions he had committed, remains a mystery.
Nation X
Beast brings Quentin's container to his lab on Utopia after the X-Mansion is abandoned. Finding life on a higher plane to be "boring," Quentin revives himself and decides to become a Villain and secretly destroy Utopia, claiming that the X-Men stole his idea to create a mutant nation. He elects to make his endeavor a game and selects Martha to be his arch-nemesis and gives her seven and a half minutes to stop him. Martha attempts to alert the X-Men and locate Quentin, but he manages to intercept and taunt her at each attempt, ultimately smashing her container and leaving her to die. Martha realizes that Quentin has infiltrated Cerebra to destroy the island and attempted to take revenge on the Cuckoos by putting them in a mental loop. Martha manages to break the Cuckoos free, who quickly defeat him.
Schism
During the recent x-event in which cyclops and wolverine's disagreements come to a head and wolverine leaves to establish his own school, the new black king of the Hellfire Club Kade Kilgore released Kid Omega from containment. He decides to celebrate his freedom by breaking in to an international arms conference that Cyclops happens to be speaking. While inside Kid makes some of the world's top leaders reveal there deepest darkest secrets, all live on camera. Now listed as the worlds most dangerous mutant, he seeks refuge on Utopia. Even though Wolverine advised handing him over to Captain America, Cyclops decides that Kid Omega shall be put back in containment, and given to authorities in order to be tried by a jury. However, Wolverine decides to take a reluctant Kid Omega with him to Westchester, New York the home of the Jean Grey school for Higher Learning.
Regenesis
Since attending Wolverine's school, Kid Omega was of great help in their first conflict against a spawn of Krakoa that was being controlled by the new incarnation of the Hellfire Club. Wolverine even took Kid Omega with him to a gambling planet in order to use his skills to gain money for the school. Certain aliens that are there however can detect psychics and they end up fighting their way out of the casino.
Phoenix Corporation
Quentin, after having graduates from the Jean Grey School, became a teaching assistant. After the mysterious Phoenix Corporation found a way to hack into the school systems with a foreboding message, Quentin decided to track them down. He encountered Younge and his 'sexy nuns'. Storm and Wolverine soon followed, but were occupied with Faithful John and the nuns. Quentin hijacked a bamf, and ended up at the New Xavier School for Mutants, where he spoke with Cyclops, who later convinced Wolverine to give Quentin a chance. Back at "Camp Cyclops", Quentin battled the time displaced original X-Men, as well as Cyclops's new students. He was able to take them all down with great ease. Back at JGS, Faithful John was defeated by the efforts of Oya, Storm, Fantomex, Armor, Hellion, and the other students. Quentin, Oya, and Wolverine faced Quentin's future self, who was the possessor of the Phoenix Force. They killed future Quentin, leaving the Quentin of the present confused and distraught. He left the school after inheriting billions of dollars from the Phoenix Corporation. Now a billionaire, Quentin owns the east coast branch of the Hellfire Club, and is the Hellfire Club's newest White King. He recently turned 17 on September 17th, and threw a large birthday bash. Wolverine infiltrated the party and attempted to give his lost student one last push.
Avengers & X-Men: AXIS
Quentin was inexplicably captured and detained in the Red Onslaught's "Reeducation Camp" for "genetic filth" (Mutants, Inhumans, etc.) on the abandoned island-kingdom of Genosha. He is captured alongside Scott Summers, mutant renegade, and Evan Sabahnur, his best friend and the genetic clone of En Sabah Nur, the Apocalypse. They are freed by Magneto, who murdered the Red Skull, thereby unleashing the Red Onslaught. The four mutants did battle with Ahab. Both Evan and Quentin are pierced by the lances of Ahab, the warden.
