I imagine she wasn’t also at Kitty’s funeral

Jean just quit the team. It doesn't make sense for her to be involved with X-Force just yet even if she will almost certainly end up involved with them again.

Is it fair to say that Jean Grey/Phoenix is the most popular MARVEL superheroine?
No... There are quite a few women who match that description equally.

Honestly, and this is coming from a fan, I'm gonna have to say no. Jean's fanbase is definitely large, but Marvel spent the past decade neglecting her and the other x-men, which has prevented her popularity from increasing. I'd say Kamala Khan or Carol Danvers are the more popular Marvel heroines nowadays.
The neglect was mostly due to Fox. Before the Hickman phase, Jean had more spotlight. She took second place in the hero battle. Honestly, I was supposed to have solo comics ... Or at least have comics with Storm (my dream).
In this new event(Swords of X) it will not be relevant.
Apparently Jason Aaron is doing a Phoenix storyline. Y’all think Jean will show up?
Marvel editorial constantly letting Aaron do pointless dumb shit with the Phoenix for no reason is in the top 3 things that make my blood boil about this whole company lol.
I cringed when I saw that announcement. I wish he would just leave it alone.
I feel that with the X-Men's new status quo under Hickman & Jean rejecting it(again) they need it to pop up for some big event that's not X related. Considering how "well" it was handled the last time in showed up in an Avengers related book I'm expecting it to be crap. While I was mixed on Resurrection on my first read through, revisiting it has been nice & I liked the quieter ending of Jean & it amicably parting ways.
If Marvel had a good idea they'd leave the force alone for a long time. While I hate that it at times seems to bog Jean down or lead to her death I hate to see it in non X-books or used by anyone except her. Maybe Rachel, if I'm feeling generous.
