Jean Grey/Marvel Girl/The Phoenix Appreciation

[Portsian]

Back when all was right in the world. There was no Phoenix force and the Phoenix was just Jean reaching her ultimate potential.

This was the first Xmen story I ever read, as a re orint in a British comic. I had read original O5 stories, but had no idea about the New Xnen or Jean niw being Phoenix. I loved Jean as Marvel Girl. This comic catapaukted me back into xmen and i fell bsck in love with Jean straight away. The story, the art, the wat the stores seemed so seemless, going from one to another. I quickly managed. When JeN died I was gutted, shocked. I quickly managed to get back stories from xmen 99 etc, so fir me Jean as Phoenix, that Jean is Phoenix, os my core belief as that is how i was kntriduced to her. It wa why xmen 137 had such a major impact (not just on me, but on future Marvel stories and comics in general). Its impact is often vastly underestimated. I accept the various retcons, in my head, but jit in my heart.

Loved issue 125.

I know people don’t want adult Jean to get an ability that originally belonged to Jeen. But I think this was such a creative use of Jeen’s abilities and I would love for them to truly explore Jean’s powers in X-Men Red.

Yep, it's pretty, it's shiny. I want it

[Harpsikord]

Adult Jean did it first.

Adult Jean did it first.

Adult Jean did something akin to this way back, just before Jean became Phoenix.

When using her TK, Jean turned orange with some pink (although in reprint more pale blue/green). And while this was said to be her TK at work by Jean, it was called "mutant mind blast" by Sentinels. And it looked and seemed to be as powerful as Xavier's at the time!

I want this for Jean Grey too. It's pretty badass. And now that Jean doesn't have the Phoenix Force, I think implementing new and creative ways of manifesting telepathic and telekinetic abilities is the way to go. When it comes time for her to enter the fray and engage in combat, I'd love Jean to display this psychic/astral form . It feels powerful y'know? And that's the way it should be. Besides, it's a distinction that sets her apart from every other telepath and telekinetic mutant.

I didn't like what he said about both jean's not interacting. I wanted them to have a lot of panel time together

[Harpsikord]

Anyone willing to share the cliffnotes? Anything important?

[AbnormallyNormal]

The pink form was utterly OP there is a reason it was hardly used post Bendis (Bendis Jeen was very different portrayal from later versions of Jeen)

If we want adult Jean to truly be rid of PF forever then I suppose if/when Jeen goes back Adult Jean can somehow "Just Know" how to Go Pink at that point and it would be a supplement to not having PF powers I guess.

I just think it's actually kinda cheesey and just over the top though

The heck is up with today's Marvel and characters not interacting with people they obviously should be interacting with.

I’m wondering what connection Jean will have with Laura? Is she aware she have one with Rachel? lol

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Who knows, considering that Laura will probably have a good idea at least as to how the 616 felt about Jean and for all that we know the two could have some nice talks about Logan until he comes back to Earth...

God if their connection is just "lol Logan" it'll honestly be horrible.

[Disciple of Redd]

It'll be surprising, but a bit disappointing if Logan isn't part of that. Only makes sense that he'd be around with Jean and Laura hanging out together. It could be fun.

The three of them and Gabby could be like a little family.
