Jean Grey: Marvel Girl, Phoenix Appreciation 2019

[powerpax]

She has become all pink in the past, but it was never framed as this OP psionic energy absorving form. So from an in-story perspective, yeah, Jean had never done that(as it is stated by Bendis in ANXM), and no, she hasn't done that yet in any comic since her return.

Yes, I vaguely recall a few instances of it myself, but nothing like that as you say. Well, hopefully we'll see it again.

[H-E-D]

No they didn't. The Iron Fist long ago fought against the Phoenix, no one hosted it.

Fongji definitely hosted the Phoenix.

Well this is becoming some kind of redhead + phoenix combos

[PsychoEFrost]

Fongji definitely hosted the Phoenix.

I have the AvX trade and I don't recall that panel. What issue is it from?

The story Iron Fist and Spider-Man tell Hope is that the Iron Fist defeated a "Bird of Destiny" in the past with the help of the sacred dragon.

Fongji definitely hosted the Phoenix.

At this point, on another ten years half the Marvel universe will be a Phoenix host

[powerpax]

I remember that. That's Deodato so it has to be one of the Avengers tie-ins, where IIRC the bulk of the Iron Fist/Phoenix story was told.

It is iconic. She should use that all the time.

It will be cool if she could keep the flames even without the Phoenix. For pure rule of cool.

Jean’s Phoenix Flame being Psionic/Cosmic and not ACTUAL fire/combustion is too often a stumbling point for people introduced to the Phoenix story and even those TELLING it - didn’t they have Jeans bedroom being scorched during her nightmares signaling the awakening powers- I’d rather find something new or revert back to other energy signatures if she’s not going to be Phoenix.

I *really* appreciated John Byrne’s work during Jeans initial return where she had NO energy signature and he managed to convey telekinesis as the invisible power it should be.

Huh, never knew that. It isn't even on the Marvel Wiki Database. Weird.

Besides, the first human host of the Phoenix was Feron back in 1217. He never went dark, built the Excalibur inter-dimensional lighthouse, and allowed himself to pass away naturally.

[Kitty&Piotr<3]

Pink Phoenix flames are her endgame. Merge the two concepts.

A writer will restore her full Phoenix glory one day, and thank goodness for that. The poor girl is always taking Ls in powers and characterization.

Whoa, Invisible TK "looks" good too.

[Omega_DCD]

I'd prefer if TK can be consciously made visible or invisible by the user...invisible if stealth is needed, or visible if not, or if used as a light source. Telepathy works that way too, it can produce a visual signature/effect

Yes a couple of times...and Jean used her TP to make a mini Phoenix raptor in the beginning of the Revolution era to illuminate the cave hidden treasure she showed to Cable

And in Excalibur #52, Xavier created a mind link with the team and Jean, which charged the air enough to be seen around their heads, and Alistair was trying to touch it. Captain Britain called it psionically induced atmospheric ionization
