I made the talk to diverge, sorry. I will continue here (with your permission):

Concerning alternates, I preferred to go on the direction (surely the idea of someone else at the beginning) that only characters who are directly stated to be from a level would receive the level, to prevent from such step-by-step divergence we can saw on Internet, ending eventually in "I like Gambit so he is such an Omega because he can throw cards and they go boom". My main argument is that Jean Grey (AoA) has never been stated to be Omega but Alpha Class, contrary to her 616 version who was stated to be Omega Level Mutant and Alpha Psi Mutant, and her movie version is a Class Five (while we know/assume that it's an equivalent to Omega, but still)(I also use that system for almost everything on the alternate realities, including the height and weight who aren't either useful or relevant, without talking about the fact they would be correct. At much, I consider that without mention, they have same powers, real name in short form and codename, but as soon as there is a doubt, I don't add the things, ex: Summers parents in Age of X: Unnamed, I haven't gave them the mainstream reality names): In a few words: "I stick to what we know".

That's why I'm looking for a proper reference before giving Franklin from the future his Omega Level status. He is certainly an Omega, but I think we have to stick on the reference. (and for this one as others, I haven't acquired all the issues, and I can't find a reference for now).
