    Not it hasnt. She's literally had one scene. I dont think she's a backup clone though bc she went after the Maraurders so she has a persnal vendetta against them. The clones we saw in AvX were essentially Jean clones with none of Maddie's memories. We dont know where she came from or what her backstory is, although I would love it if its the Maddie from X-men v4 to keep things simple (or as simple as can be)

    This Maddie created pentagons. She’s using sorcery. This is the Goblin Queen. Madelyne was a psychic ghost in both X-Man, and as the Red Queen, until she got a new body in the second Sisterhood storyline. Arkea turned the dead body of Ana Cortéz into another Jean Grey clone, and the Enchantress moved Maddie in there, resurrecting her.

    Depends if she is the goblin queen or just the red queen, her power level varies
    Sure. She has the same telepathic powers. She has the same DNA. Major psionic powers, plus magic plus some Phoenix power.

    So yes if the Goblin Queen went all out Jean would have to become Phoenix to beat her.

    In fact it for Inferno the demons didn’t disappear until Jean accepted the Phoenix fragment that had given Maddie life.

    We usually put feats above statetements, of course she should have potential with Jean's dna but she lacks the feats in that department, but she's not a fodder i think she's around the level of Telepaths like Betsy, Stepford Cuckoos and Base Cable with the T-O virus in pure Telepathy (she has some good showing especially with her psychic vampirism)

By the end of the “Judgement War” storyline vs the Celestials on an alien world, Jean rid herself of both echoes.

    That's why I said at the end that I feel like she didn't absorb everything.

    Also, there's the possibility that when she was releasing the Phoenix energy from herself in judgement wars, she may have also released part of Madelyne with it (since she was rejecting both personalities).
    That would explain why the Madelyne that was brought back by Nate grey was called burned out embers of the Phoenix that was waiting on the astral plane.

    It's not a bad explanation

    Yep, she doesn't really have feats on Jeans level when it comes to telekinesis and telepathy (excluding when she's using magic). One could even argue that everything she did up to Inferno wasn't under her own powers, because she wasn't even displaying powers before the Phoenix force came to her in sinisters lab (he considered her a failure). So you could dismiss everything she did as the Phoenix.

    Anyways, here's a Madelyne respect thread on comicvine if anyone's interested

    I am a huge Jean Grey fan and I am not happy with the way things are right now with resoect to her. So I am posting this here-

    It is a running joke that the fate of the X-ladies is determined by who Scott wants. He wants Jean, Maddie is conveniently made evil; He want Emma and cheats on Jean, instead of handling it Jean is conveniently killed because God forbid she should want anyone but Scott. Now Scott can't decide who to choose between two fine women, he gets them both. There is no reason Jean and Emma should share Scott, they are barely even courteous to each other. But Scott Summers gets what Scott Summers wants.

    It is frustrating to see strong independent female characters being reduced to mere objects for Scott Summer's convenience. And there is nothing I can do to call Marvel out on this.

    I feel like Marvel is taking a step back in how they should be portraying women. And strong women at that. I have waited so long for Marvel to bring Jean back in a way that is satisfying and organic to who she was.

    Also, I think it sends the wrong message - that cheating on your spouse is something that DOES go unpunished. I would have loved for Marvel to have had the courage to let Jean move on with her life, cut ties with the past but alas it will never happen.

    This isn't the unpopular opinion thread! Lol I kid, of course. You are entirely correct, but A LOT of people see Jean Grey's character as mainly Cyclops' beard, as in that aspect comes before all else. Which is why she is not allowed to do much or explore new scenarios. You won't find much support for this opinion on the boards, but it's all truth.

    Now get ready for her to deal with yet another "Cyclops' ex" story for the umpteenth time. Yay.

    Or maybe they'll actually keep that mess in Hellions. I guess we'll see.

    I think maddie gonna lead for some Inferno later on, I hope she and Jean won't fight for Scott. Unless it is to screw him up, because these two were treated like garbage by him.

    Would be nice Jean explore more things, but Scott always come first for the writers

    The writers always tend to write Jean and Scott together because, for each other, everything always ends up going back to them for Jean and for Scott. They're the first couple of the X-Men. That doesn't mean they need to be defined by the fact that they're together - and outside of a short time in the 90s, I don't think they were - but to act like they aren't important to one another is just negligent. I also don't think that Jean's position in the current X-Men has anything to do with Scott, or how she's been written.

    If there's any single male character that's to blame for Jean taking a backseat among the books it's Charles Xavier, who has literally forced every single character back into a supporting role in comparison to himself. The X-Office has been making it a point not to shove the fact that Jean and Scott are back together down our throats, and the biggest confirmation that we've had about that fact comes from supplemental information on the Marvel website. Blaming him isn't fair.

    And we could be in a much worse place right now. We're not going as good as when Jean was the face and in charge of the X-Men, during the end of the Resurrxion era, but we still have Jean as one of the leading characters in X-Force (and being written very well by Benjamin Percy), frequently appearing in X-Men where her portrayal continues to massively improve, and she starred in the recent Giant-Sized issue.
    "We come into this world alone and we leave the same way. The time we spent in between - time spent alive, sharing, learning together... is all that makes life worth living." - Jean Grey

    All Scott needed was say "I'm sorry" and Jean was already back with him, what a freaking joke, writers will never make him suffer a bad consequence.

    it's really frustrating that we wait jean come back for so long and instantly she is right back together with Scott, we couldn't even get some years with her single.
    Funny that Scott got more single years that Jean, easy to see where their priority is.

    I'm really tired of Scott treating women like garbage, Maddie and Jean are easily his biggest victim, and Jean seems to not get out of it.

    They aren't forcing jean and Scott down our throats? Everytime jean show up on X-men she is with Scott, on giant size she is also with him and on the tiki bar she is also with him. They are a happy family with a house on the moon.
