[QUOTE=Mercury;5787860]I've started a thread covering some of what Jean was forced to grapple with after her return. It centers on her learning about Madelyne, who Scott and the team kept secret from her for close to a year. It'll cover pivotal moments leading up to her confrontation with Madelyne during [I]Inferno[/I], the confrontation itself, and the aftermath, which saw Jean struggling after having reabsorbed the fragment of her essence which animated both the Phoenix clone and Madelyne, causing her to retain both of their memories.

I’m happy you are just as big a fan! 🙏🏼

[QUOTE=Mercury;5787887]I understand how you feel. However, many of her fans, particularly newer ones, aren't familiar with this aspect of her history. Those first three years following Jean's return are important to cover.[/QUOTE]
There’s Wikipedia for that. History written for fans by fans.
It’s a detailed way to contribute about knowledge of a character. Maybe you can edit wikis if you like.

Read January solicitations concerning Maddie in the New Mutants!

[QUOTE=WallStreeter;5787880]This is ancient history for many of us, and after awhile it gets boring and nonsensical.
There good things about X-Factor. Like it created Apocalypse. And Ship.
The stupid drama and the is she or isn’t Phoenix, the idea of a clone are just absurdly poor writing. It wasn’t all that great at the time, either.[/QUOTE]
Should probably "pin" this or whatever the CBR equivalent is, crucial stuff for New fans.Great work!

Well, one of the many benefits of running a Twitter fan account is that you can just share the information directly with people without having to resort to editing Wikis, which are usually not as detailed anyway.

Not to mention lack of scans and context in those

Exactly. I like that you can focus on and highlight the progression of particular plot threads.

Is JDW giving hints…?
[QUOTE] Jordan: It is. It’s very complicated. There are certainly people who have very much made the argument to let the original five X-Men be old and retire. Who cares, we’ve got a zillion other X-Men. And that’s a fair argument, but also, I’m sure there are a bunch of Jean Grey fans who are howling at that suggestion, or they’re sitting there going, “Well, it doesn’t apply to Jean because [B]she can use the Phoenix Force a little bit[/B],” explaining why she doesn’t have to retire. But that’s the case for every character.[/QUOTE]

ScreenRant does note:
[QUOTE]“While some mutants such as Jean Grey have powerful psychic abilities and can banish Nightmare from their own minds, most inhabitants of Earth are not so fortunate.”[/QUOTE]
But she did do a little more than banish Nightmare from her mind, didn’t she?

Naw, because he continues with "that is true for every character." He was just giving a reference why the retiring would not happen, using for Jean the PF, Wolverine would have his healing, others would stay eternally young for their fans, etc. As I see it, anyways. :)

I’m grasping! Actually, the fact that he brought up and didn’t refute that she can use the Phoenix Force…
