Come to think of it, shouldn't Xavier have perceived his mind ?
In the old days, anytime a mutant - a bad mutant at that ! - was showing up in the city, he could feel it somehow. Wouldn't it be even more the case if the bad mutant showed up near his own back yard ?
Spiraling down evilness...Poor Jean.

Oh dear god no just leave jean a powerful mutant. Is jean beyond omega now?
That was far more succinctly explained that I could have managed it!
I like it as a new development a lot. With adult Jean so much of the writing focused on her struggling to control a different entity and its potentially limitless power for good or evil - which was good stuff, but this makes Jeen the fulcrum of the possible problem. It's not to do with what the Phoenix Force was in some past issue and wasn't in that one. It's that she has it within herself to boost her TK just by using the energies of others and it's for her to control it and choose whether or not she's prepared to use people as psychic batteries for her powers or not. Making Future!Jeen on her throne of living flesh something that would have been that version of Jeen's choice, not the PF having a bad day after being attacked or manipulated.
I like that it puts the power back in Jeen's hands but also the onus on her if things go wrong. Looking forward to where Bendis goes with this and whether Jeen is going to go bad on the way to going good or vice versa or if Professor Kitty is going to be able to save this Jeen from becoming Xorna Jean.
Looking forward to Angel getting some much needed focus. Idk if I care for another darker version of him but I guess beggars can't be choosers now. Angel needs a boast one way or another.
In the original stan and jack run wasn't angel like second in command of the 05
