Does Jean Grey need a superhero code name and if so what would you call her?

[PhoenixThanos]

Once upon a time Jean Grey was known as Marvel Girl, after being possessed with the Phoenix Force she become known as the Phoenix.
Now she is just Jean Grey but would Marvel Woman or Psion be more suited to her ? .

[Wiccan]

No. Whatever codename they give her, no one is gonna start calling her that. It's just not gonna stick. "Jean Grey" is already a recognizable name anyway.

"Jean Grey" is what she was called in X-Men TAS.

And in X-Men Evolution, which would've been justified using the Marvel Girl name as she was a teenager in that show.

Yeah, there's no point giving her a codename. Even teen Jean's solo comic was called Jean Grey, even though that version of her IS called Marvel Girl.

Sticking a new codename on iconic characters never works. Jean Grey is instantly recognizable and she doesn't need a mantle.

That said, it's only a matter of time until someone brings back the Phoenix Force and she embraces that identity again (hopefully in the distant future- I'm happy with Jean the way she is)

[Uncanny X-Man]

I agree that a brand-new codename isn't likely to stick, but I always found it annoying how certain characters just drop their codenames at some stage when everyone else has one. Jean has sported the Phoenix moniker before in the 90s at Rachel/Mother Askani's request even without having the Phoenix Force, and I'm sure they could find a reason for her to start using it again.

Power Tripper, because that what Jean seems to be like ever since she's come back from the dead.

I think they've avoided dubbing her that because they made a point of showing Jean is done with the Phoenix (for now anyway) so it doesn't really fit. I think that's pretty sound reasoning. She's outgrown Marvel Girl, and Red or Psyche don't work either IMO. That leaves only an all-new codename or sticking with her name as her identity. I prefer the latter

Everyone knows who she is, there's no point in having a code name.

[MechaJeanix]

I know it would not make sense with her anymore, but the only name that is appropriate is Phoenix. It will still fit Jean without the force because of how many times Jean has been dead or believed to have been dead. When you factor in how many times she has been brought back to life by the Phoenix..it just works.

But I do not expect her to use it. Maybe they can do, like in Morrison's run where characters occasionally refer her as Phoenix. That way it is something used but not endorsed by Jean herself.
