Hi! Hey guys. Hope all is well! I was re-reading some Academy-X books & I got to wondering about the powers/levels & if any specific thought went into them. Like why was Josh an Omega vs. Julian. (Specifically b/c you've said he had potential for Phoenix host in David's dream sequence.) Or TK vs. aerokenisis vs. electrokinesis in an all out sparring match who would win. Or, just any background or errata you remember about the X-Kids and their powers. Thanks! Still love the X-kids 20 years later!

We got permission to label Josh as an Omega level mutant. We never got that permission with Julian. And by the time we put the Phoenix visual reference in, that was our way of potentially nudging him up to that status as well.

We did not stay long enough to follow up and make that reference to Julian being Omega officially part of the story.

Had we stayed, we would have asked to put that in. We wanted that for Julian.

As to the other questions, can you be specific? Who are you asking about in terms of 'who would win'? Happy to map our thoughts on specific pairings.

In general, Julian's TK had greater combat potential than Sofia's aerokinesis, but primarily on the basis of control. Julian had fine control over his TK, and this gave him a more versatile approach in combat. Sofia's winds can hit hard, but it's a full wind, without fine control. She was working on control (the jenga tower scene) but to have control, she had to sacrifice raw power.

In terms of background and errata, is there anyone specific you want to know about?
