Omega Red's approach and treatment of these energies, these abilities and his resulting actions, is the key that sets this particular mutant apart.  This guy is one of Marvel’s most brutal, merciless villains;  His ability’s always involved sucking life out of others; transforming them into completely drained husks; He uses this to gain more strength, not merely for some specific strategic goal; but because it gives him joy, resulting in countless murders and showcasing how dark this otherwise incredibly versatile power could potentially become.

Wolverine's insane healing factor’s arguably among the most overpowered in all of Marvel. Even something insane like a nuclear blast might merely annoy him! This makes him perfect against Omega Red; a villain totally energized by draining life forces! In theory, Omega could just imprison Wolverine—having an endless supply to feed off – possibly granting this kind of extremely dark potential that an entirely unique individual and storyline only achievable through Omega Red could provide and is something that this character should fully take advantage of given the enormous implications of this potential matchup!

The Krakoan Era helped these two briefly get along— however, we might possibly see this duo return to conflict once more in future installments! The sheer contrasting nature and inherent conflict presented makes a future story involving this unique pairing immensely more anticipated. Even this kind of limited conflict presents incredible implications!
