| Body | - Nate was created to be the most powerful mutant on Earth and the most powerful psionic imaginable. He was classified as an Omega Level Mutant, a psi of the first order, an Alpha-Psi, and an Omega Level Threat. He was described as the most powerful and the most dangerous being on the planet, the ultimate mutant, the most powerful psionic in any reality, as near omnipotent, and as a living god.
As he grew, he possessed enough power that he could destroy entire worlds if he wished. Even a small trace of his powers led to almost instantaneous overload of Omega and Mimic. His power is such that upon examination by Moira MacTaggert, she suggested his psionic powers rivaled that of a Phoenix Force-imbued Jean Grey even though at that time he just started to learn how to use his powers. It was also stated that he can fight on par with the Sentry. Nate even stated that he and Sentry fought Galactus.
His former powers included:
Psionic Entity: After Nate transformed his body into energy and dissolved it into every living creature on the Earth, his consciousness actually continued to exist on the Astral Plane, evolving into the psionic being and no longer restricted by the boundaries of the physical world.
* Immortality / Physical Reconstitution: Nate later learned to rebuild his body from psionic energy, and also to reverse the process, thereby effectively becoming immortal, because his consciousness continued to exist on the Astral Plane and thus he can easily create another body for himself if needed.
** Self-Detonation: He can explode his body by reversing it back into psi-energy.
* Physical Possession: Along with learning to rebuild his physical form, X-Man's heightened state of existence has allowed him to possess people. While possessing someone, he can explore their mind from the inside. It is possible that if he possesses a mutant, he can use their powers along with his own.
Psionic Energy Manipulation: Nate was able to manipulate psionic energy for various purposes.
* Psionic Energy Absorption: He was capable to absorb psionic energy from other living beings or psi-attacks, and use it to amplify himself. He was able to almost instantly siphon psionic energy of a few dozens psychics without any effort, that deprived them all unconsciousness and left on the brink of death.
* Psionic Energy Solidification: He was able to make psionic energy solid and shape it to any suitable form.
** Astral Projection Materialization: He was able pull the astral projections of other telepaths into the physical world making them semi-solid.

He also was able to form psionic armor around other person.
** Psionic Weapons: Nate can shape psi-energy into various weapons like hammer, scythe, claws, lash, etc.
** Psionic Energy Materialization: He was able to create a perfect replicas of normal matter by reifying the psionic energy. He created a psionic construct of the arm for Jam, that looked, felt and worked as a real arm; a copy was so perfect that even a professional doctor could not determine that it wasn't real. These psionic constructs are independent from Nate and continued to exist even without any support from him, they cease to exist only if Nate decides so.
*** Psionic Body: He later vastly improved this power and was able to create entire human body out of psi-energy, that even has consciousness, memories and temper of original person. After his return he created a few such bodies for himself, including current one.
Astral Plane Tap: Ability to tap into the virtually unlimited psychic resources of the astral plane in order to manipulate matter and energy and up to a potentially unlimited scale.
Telepathy: Nate was the most powerful telepath, but not the most skillful, as he admitted. Nate was able to converse telepathically, read minds of dozens people simultaneously, read thoughts across vast distances, surface scan up to several millions minds to find specific person, etc. He himself said, that telepathy is his sixth sense and the most important one.
*Astral Projection: Capable of forging psi-links to travel in astral form alone or with others.
*Telepathic Defense: He can use telepathy in a number of defensive ways:

He also was able to psionically conceal his own life-signs, to convince everyone around and even high-tech equipment of the Psi-Ops' agents that he was dead. He was able to hide himself and others from the sensors of Prime Sentinels, and even from Cerebro, which is impossible for even the strongest mutants to accomplish.
**Mental Shield: He can protect his mind from mental intrusions, illusions, mind control, etc. His telepathic defense was so great that even while inexperienced and weakened, he easily blocked such powerful telepath as Charles Xavier. Even when his telepathy was off, Nate was able to sense, when someone tried to read his mind, and trace it back to the telepath, and see through illusions created by powerful telepaths like Emma Frost. Nate could escape from illusions created by such a specialist as Mysterio. His mental defense was so impervious, that even protected him from being affected by Sentry's powers, as he was apparently the only person on the planet who kept his memories about Sentry, when entire world was forced to forget about him.
***Automatic Psionic Defense: After Nate studied and absorbed memories of Sunspot about teachings of the Askani, he learned how thoroughly protect his mind from intrusions and overcome psi-dampers placed on his powers. He also created a special automatic psionic defense mechanism, that reroute synaptic links and neural relays in his brain every time someone tries to control his mind, making all attempts eventually ineffective.
***Mental Shield Removal: Nate could easily overcome psi-shields created by other powerful telepaths, such as Charles Xavier, and even shields created by joint efforts of several telepaths.
*Telepathic Illusions / Psi-Projections: Nate was able to create realistic illusions, that cause people to see and experience events, that do not occur in reality. His illusions can fool even Prime Sentinels and trap a specialist in illusions like Mysterio in illusory world. It's not known how many people Nate can affect at the same time, but it's probably a few thousands or even tens of thousands.
**Telepathic Camouflage / Psi-Skin: Illusions also help him disguise himself and others, by altering his appearance to those around him, or make him mentally invisible. However his camouflage can be broken, if he does something superhuman.
**Mental Projection: Nate was able to telepathically broadcast his semi-real image halfway around the world from Switzerland to New York. Through this projection, he could see, hear and talk like a normal person, but had no tangible form.

Later he learned another way to see, by displacing himself into a time-stream that shows every version of every future, as well as past and present events. Nate possibly used his precognition powers to concoct his plan against Norman Osborn. He also can trigger visions of other precogs and share them.
**Psychometry: Could read residual thought imprints left on objects touched by people. By touching the object Nate was able to see past events, that happened with this object and around it, days and even decades ago.

Immense Telekinesis: Nate was the most powerful telekinetic. Previously Nate was capable of very fine control over objects down to the molecular and even subatomic level. He could telekinetically move the chemicals in someone's brain around. He could disassemble and reassemble complex devices within minutes. On larger scale, Nate could levitate great weights, but his upper limit remained undisclosed.
*Flight: By telekinetically levitating himself, he was able to fly at amazing speeds. His maximum speed is unknown, but Nate was able to fly across the Atlantic from London to the Massachusetts Academy overnight. Later his speed drastically increased, exceeded the hypersonic speed many times, as he was able to fly out of the planet in a matter of seconds. Nate also can remotely levitate other people.
*Force Fields: Nate was able to create nigh impenetrable protective force shields, that could protect him from physical attacks of Captain Britain, Colossus, Thing, a rocket fired at close range, corrosive acid, hurricane winds, point blank explosions, lava, direct lightning strike, atmospheric entry, Electro's electric discharge, Psi-Ops' blasts, Prime Sentinel's laser beams, Fever Pitch's plasma beams, Holocaust's plasma beams, Human Torch's flames, and even from Qabiri's blast, which could destroy the planets, and punches of overwhelmingly strong being like Modt. His force fields activates instinctively, sometimes he wasn't even aware of it. He also can form shields around dozens of people simultaneously.
**Telekinetic Bubble: Normally his force fields are skin-tight, but he also can expand them to form spherical shields to protect several people at the same time, cover vast area, or hold oxygen to breathe in inhospitable environment.
**Molecular Filter: Nate was able to fine-tune force fields for specific type of matter and block only it. For example he was able to stop oxygen from reaching the person, separate smoke from air, block pheromones from entering into body, etc. He even stated that pheromones are ineffective against him since he sampled every chemical.
**Thermal Adaptation: He also was able to use force fields to protect himself from extreme temperatures.
**Force Fields Removal: Nate could easily destroy force fields of other powerful telekinetics, such as Cable.
**Telekinetic Deflection: Nate was able to deflect and/or redirect attacks, normally projectiles, away from himself. His control and power was so great and finely tuned, that instead of stopping an explosion like most telekinetics, he just curved the shock-wave and shrapnel around him.
*Telekinetic Holograms / Telekinetic Puppet Show: His mental fine motor skills were so acute that he could mentally manipulate dust and dirt to create realistic holograms.
*Concussive Blasts: Nate could project telekinetic energy as powerful beams from his eyes, hands or entire body, that could affect matter with concussive and/or explosive force. His telekinetic blasts were possibly the strongest on the planet with effects varying from hard push, to punching through the walls, robotic bodies of the Infinites and the Prime Sentinels, and up to total destruction of Hybrid and Tanaraq of the Great Beast. He was even able to crush the entire city of Quito in Ecuador, in just a few moments, in his sleep.
**Telekinetic Flare: He also was able to create devastating omni-directional blasts of energy, powerful enough to instantly blow up a truck and entire buildings, and even to destroy special house, created by Cable to withstand any and all attacks. One of his strongest flares created a huge rift in the ground a few miles in size. Nate could potentially create so powerful flare, that it would destroy half the planet.
*Intangibility: Could phase through solid matter by mentally shifting his molecules around another object's as he moves forward.

*Energy Manipulation: Nate was able to telekinetically manipulate various types of the energy from electromagnetic spectrum.
**Electromagnetic Pulses: He can use telekinesis to channel the Earth's magnetic field through the electro-current of his brain and generate electromagnetic pulses that disrupt electronics. He can channel enough energy to generate so devastating electromagnetic pulse, that it affects an area of a few miles in size, and leave behind residual electromagnetic charge, powerful enough to disrupt electronics even a few hours later.
**Electric Blasts: He also can channel the magnetic field of the planet into directed discharges of high-voltage energy from his body, and possibly even lightning.

*Gravity Manipulation: Nate was able to manipulate gravitational field of the planet. He was able to negate gravity even on very huge objects, and said himself that it doesn't pose any challenge for him. He also was able to isolate gravity field around certain object or person, and since the objects are held on the surface of the planet by the gravitational field, while the planet is constantly moving in space, once the gravitational field is removed, the objects will be immediately left outside the planet.
*Teleportation: X-Man even learned that he could use his telekinesis to transport himself and other people to any location and/or create portals for teleportation.
**Interdimensional Teleportation: He also was able to travel into other dimensions and realities. At first Nate did it accidentally, but quickly learned how to control this ability and mastered it to perfection.

Reality Warping: Upon his return, Nate Grey has demonstrated reality warping abilities. While being trapped in the Omega Machine Nate was psionically warping reality which caused the New Mutants great confusion when attempting disclose his location. Moreover after his discovery by the New Mutants the government officials constantly identified him as a reality warping mutant. To what degree his abilities extend is unknown.
*Reality Warp Immunity: Nate was able to see through reality, warped by such powerful beings as Jahf and Modt.
*Dimensional Distortion: Nate could distort and/or destroy the dimensional barriers that separates dimensions and realities one from another, allowing residents of these dimensions travel to main reality.

Pseudo-Vampirism: Nate was infected by Morbius, and has been transformed into a being similar to a vampire. In this form he had red eyes, fangs and claws, and possibly possessed other vampiric powers like Morbius. Nate eventually cured himself of his vampirism, though how he was able to do this is unknown. According to Spider-Man, Nate either isolated and destroyed the vampirism virus with his telekinesis or just learned to live with it.

Phoenix Force : According to the Shi'ar the carriers of the Grey Genome, as well as Omega Level Mutants and telepaths, all have the potential to bond with the Phoenix Force. Nate satisfies all three criteria, that makes him a possible Phoenix Avatar. His former strength was also comparable to the Phoenix, and he was once surrounded by an aura similar to the Phoenix raptor.
