I hope Jean would not do it for either of those reasons). Sometimes you have to go backward before you can go forward .. so who knows why Jean is in the Marvel Girl costume. Maybe we will find out soon.
I do like that Jean will remain in the green and gold. I would love to see Jean in the Revolution era costume but in the green one that we never got (besides two preview covers).
I also like the omega mutant explanation. We definitely do not need additional omega mutants. I like that he is bringing the mutants powers to more reasonable levels. I suspect that Jean isn't an omega tk to keep her from being overpowered (but in that case she probably wouldn't go Phoenix again).
I'd like to see Jean have the phoenix costume and codename but not necessarily have the force, but I do think Hickman could write a really good Phoenix. The voice he gave Phoenix-Cyclops in Secret Wars sounded a lot like Jean (in my opinion). I think he could do some great stuff with Jean like Morrison did.
It is an exciting time to be an X-men fan. As you all know I was highly critical of Hickman's Jean in the space mission issue, but I am willing to give him a shot. I love everything else and Jean has been written well in the last House of X issue.
