She wasnÂ’t channeling her power at all. At no point was her power being used to destroy those Sentinites or on any other individual while destroying the Sentinites. It is purely there to maintain a link between Trinary and either Gabby or X-23. Nothing else was stated that she used her powers for anything else in that situation. It is different. Her powers are still being employed, but only to maintain the link, which Cassandra states was preoccupying her entire focus. That is the explanation of the energy signature.
I said another person’s mind. Not another monsterÂ’s mind. I will not reiterate the difference between an individual personÂ’s mind and a ravenous monsterÂ’s mind. Reread what I said about that because that is in no way similar to taking advantage of another personÂ’s weakness.
I act like she wouldn’t because Jean has in-canon made stands against that route and was conflicted whenever she did. It is not in-character for her to look at another person’s individual weakness and use that for her individual benefit unless it were absolutely necessary to do so. Countless beyond countless examples of Jean Grey speaking up, getting angry, and felling guilt over taking away someone’s agency has been shown on multiple occasions. The interesting part about her character is dealing with this conflict, not her looking at it and going “well, if it’s for the greater good” like Xavier or Magneto do. She is a moral pillar int his regard and will not ignore the times she has made fuss over someone asking this of her on multiple occasions for the sake of saying, “well, she could and would if it came up”. Unless circumstances were truly dire, Jean would not take lightly the controlling or changing of another person’s mind.
Jean didn't use ScottÂ’s weaknesses to cast out Apocalypse. She simply took his soul and separated it. That is it.
Jean mind-wiping Frenzy is not an example of Jean casually taking advantage of another personÂ’s free will. Xavier was literally gonna be executed in Eve in Destruction. Thus, that entire plot was functioning under the perameters of there being no room for questioning moral conduct. A literally manÂ’s life, one who Jean cares about more than anyone aside from few, hanged in the balance based on her decisions. So your point is lost.
