Quintavius "Quentin" Quirinius 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. A green-skinned character resembling Quire appeared in one panel of New X-Men #122 (March 2002), and appeared colored pink on the cover of New X-Men #126. Quire appeared in his now-familiar, canonical form in New X-Men #134 (January 2003). He was created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely.

Quire made his first appearance in New X-Men #134 (January 2003). His first appearance as Kid Omega and the first appearance of the Omega Gang were in New X-Men #135 (February 2003). Grant Morrison has cited The Sekhmet Hypothesis as an influence on the story, referring to it in his book, Supergods. Quire becomes a student at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning in X-Men: Regenesis (December 2011). Along with Wolverine and Armor, he is one of the featured characters in the Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha & Omega miniseries (March–July 2012). His full name is revealed in Wolverine and the X-Men #15 (October 2012). In Wolverine and the X-Men #21–22 (January–February 2013), he is one of the main characters along with other students. He is featured in a story along with Captain America in A + X #4 (March 2013). He is a main character along with other students and Doctor Strange in A + X #9 (August 2013). Quire leaves the X-Men and joins the Hellfire Academy in Wolverine and the X-Men #30 (July 2013).

Quentin Quire joins the student body of the Xavier Institute after Professor X's return from averting a war with Genosha and the rebuilding of the X-Mansion. He immediately stands out as a brilliant intellect and quickly becomes Xavier's prize pupil. Xavier teaches Quire to control his powers when they first appear. The extent and type of his mutant abilities are never clearly defined. Quire appears to be a very powerful telepath, and the Stepford Cuckoos describe him as having a 'see-through mind', but he is not necessarily limited to that.
