Quentin Quire
Quintavius Quirinius "Quentin" Quire, also known as Kid Omega, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually in those featuring the X-Men. Quire first appeared in New X-Men #134 (January 2003). He was created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely.
Quentin Quire is an Omega-level telepathic mutant, with substantial telepathic and telekinetic abilities, often manifesting as pink psionic hard-light constructions such as shotguns and motorcycles. He is initially a student of Xavier Institute, but is disillusioned with the views of the X-Men. He later joins superhero teams such as the West Coast Avengers, X-Force, and X-Men.
A character inspired by Quire and credited as "Kid Omega" appears in the 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand, portrayed by Ken Leung.
Quentin Quire made his first appearance in New X-Men #134 (Jan. 2003). His first appearance as Kid Omega and the first appearance of the Omega Gang were in New X-Men #135 (Feb. 2003). Grant Morrison has cited The Sekhmet Hypothesis as an influence on the story as well as Quire's angry punk rock aesthetic, referring to it in their book, Supergods.
Quentin appeared in multiple other X-Men titles as a student such as Wolverine and the X-Men and Generation X (Vol. 2), alongside frequent appearances in other related titles. He would also appear as a superhero in titles such as West Coast Avengers (Vol. 3), X-Force (Vol. 6), and X-Men (Vol. 7).
Quentin Quire joined the student body of the Xavier Institute after Professor X's return and the rebuilding of the X-Mansion. He immediately stood out due to his brilliant intellect and quickly became Xavier's prize pupil, with Xavier guiding him on the use of his powers. The extent and type of his mutant abilities were never clearly defined past being Omega-level, and he was considered a very powerful telepath.
Quire often associated with Glob Herman and had a crush on Sophie, one of the Stepford Cuckoos. However, something about Quire disturbed the Cuckoos, though Emma Frost dismissed it as academic rivalry.
While a student at Xavier's, Quire invented the anti-gravity floats for Martha Johansson's brain canister, and bumped heads with other students. On his birthday, Quire received a call from his parents telling him he was adopted, which seemed to destabilize him. He got a haircut reminiscent of Bolivar Trask's depiction of a mutant overlord from the Daily Bugle that was published the day Quire was born. Quire became strongly opposed to a policy of tolerance with humans, and called for vengeance for the recently murdered mutant designer Jumbo Carnation. He drastically changed his look to further resemble Trask's depiction and also debated with Professor X on his dream of human-mutant coexistence, questioning whether he would allow any dream other than his own to exist.
