looks like jean is appearing in fantastic 4 ,a very small place compared to betsy
we can be heroes, just for one day
They did a bit of that following Inferno. Jean reclaimed the portion of herself that was used to create Madelyne and the Phoenix spark that awakened the clone. The personalities (Madelyne and Phoenix) would manifest when Jean was under duress. The artists (Paul Smith in this case) signaled the switching personalities with Jean’s hairstyle changing: parted in the middle with bangs = Madelyne (evil clone!), Wavy and full bodied = Phoenix (evil cosmic entity!). By the end of the “Judgement War” storyline vs the Celestials on an alien world, Jean rid herself of both echoes.

Yeah I think everyone here read Inferno... But it could be cool if it happened again and became the status quo I guess?
LOL...what if Maddie put on the Red suit and recreated this scene?
In my head canon, the only reason teen jean was portrayed as more powerful than adult jean is because she had somewhat less moral restraint, a lot less wisdom and a “nothing to lose “ attitude. After all, from Her view, being more measured with her powers and demeanor only ended up with her dead and a crumbling marriage. So why not let loose with her powers and personality?
Adult jean is known for empathy and compassion. And I am NOT saying these are weaknesses, but I can see how that would make
One more judicious with power use. In many ways teen jean just didn’t give a fu*k.
But yes writing choice certainly has to do with it. The fact that adult jean has yet to use pink form since teen jean left is a glaring omission.
Your favorite superhero- the one you visit these forums to talk about. Would they talk to others the way you do on this message board?
On an island nation with villainous mutants, morally grey mutants, morally altruistic mutants...I like that Jean could be one (of many) who is more balanced and centred and who can have a more pragmatic approach to situations.
Having been the Phoenix, and the strength it took to harness that cosmic energy and entity, and her dealings with Nova, I think she would not be very susceptible to mind manipulations. At this point she would be strong enough to recognise a mental intruder and deal with it/them accordingly.
I love that she easily recognised and called out Beast for his patronising tone in X-Force.

Maddie and Jean merged on inferno, current Maddie is Nate Grey's construct.
