It's a criticism at large of how the book focuses on characters, particularly the female characters. They don't really have any worth unless it's to prop up the character of their male counterparts. Phoebe's been used to prop up Quentin, Sage for Hank, Jean for Logan, Hank, AND Quentin.
"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
My Jean Grey redesign, using Dauterman's Gala look as a body/hair template:

Thanks, guys
Thank you! She desperately needs a new look.
I tried picking what I liked about several different versions. Some of my biggest influences were Portacio's X-factor look (the shoulder pads), Jim Lee's classic one from the 90s (headgear), X-men Evolution (colors, hands and the green triangle shape) and X-men Blue (the use of gold and the addition of boots similar to Quitely's NXM ones). The hip part is a nod to Asrar's Red costume, but the resemblance to the skirt wasn't lost on me haha.
Does Jean have a chance to participate in this program in the space that Storm talks about in S. W. O. R. D?
New X-Force issue was good for Jean, I'll admit. I said Percy was only continuing to use her as a love interest for logan and clearly from this issue, that isn't the case.
X-Force #19 was a solid Jean issue. She wasn't the focus, but she was depicted as a capable, maybe even quite powerful and experienced, hero with the kind of calming mom influence that is often overplayed and a couple of subtle hints that maybe she is a little scarier than just "mom". That's all you can ask for.
And did she just unquit X-Force? Thank the Bright Lady!
Even before today's issue, the bulk of her interactions in the book have been with Beast lol

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
The thing about Marvel Woman is that would mean Jean discovering she's a woman, which happened ages ago.
If she can't be Jean or Phoenix and the idea is that she is hyper-femme, I would have her go with Lady Marvel.
