I believe all Eternals have the same powers (including telepathy) but have spent their immortal lives specializing in certain abilities. Telepathy isn't one of Ikaris' strengths, but I'm guessing over the millenia he's at least developed some training to resist other telepaths, especially when there are conniving Eternals like Druig who specialize in mind control.
Considering she was coordinating an attack, protecting herself and Scott while flying and casually pulled Ikaris' mind into hers so both could have a chat about the situation and he was on the Moon (or any other planet, I can't tell) is quite impressive. I'd say it just confirms what she is already capable of, still a nice feat.
Yupp.
Contrary to what JD2 aka The Exodus Show portrayed Jean was feating hard. I just want Duggan to employ her TK on the same or even more devastating level. Where realising they're sentient she takes control of their "minds" and then telekinetically reconfigures their bodies ...or something.

that's actually from Forge's canon that shot the "magic bullet" with the nanites. artist confirmed it
You're right about Jean not being part of the mission to the armory though. We've seen the strike team from previous previews

i mean, it's not like that's all she's doing lol. in JD she was actively fighting Syne with Exodus and had global TP sensing while basically being the command center of the entire war effort. Here she's fighting the HEX while presumably shielding herself and scott, scanning the world/moon (?) to find Ikaris and bringing him into her mind. And that's just previews, she may or may not get more stuff. It's not the greatest bunch of feats but we're only like 1/4 of the way into the event and you're already complaining so much. just chill out. I get being disappointed with feats and portrayal etc, but let's wait until AFTER the event?

While I don't think you have to wait until the event is over to judge...as each issue/tie-in is a story unto itself and should be critiqued accordingly...to single out your favourite character as not having the best and biggest and most wow moments in a single issue that has many other characters all working towards the same goal is a bit silly to understate it.
Would I have loved to see Storm go OL on the Hex? Yes, but Gillen gave me Lightning Lass, instead. He had Rachel smiling in-panel, doing nothing. In an overaching event like this wallpapers are to be expected. For all that she was just a walkie-talkie at least Jean was present throughout. Could she have done more? I suppose...but that's up to the Head writer and how he wants to tell his story. (I get the sense that Gillen isn't much of an all-out action type writer...but that's probably just me and my lack of experience and interest in his Marvel work)
I'll see what Duggan does with her in XM 13. And what Ewing does with Storm in XMR.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
but so what though? There's still 2 whole months of the event to go. I don't why are you quite bothered by her not having done something huge in terms of combat by the 1/4 mark. I understand wanting good feats. Pyrofn and I made a whole ass feats respect thread for her over on comicvine so trust me, I love feats and absolutely want those feats too and i'll definitely be disappointed if she doesn't get anything good. But again, we're still so early in the event. There's no point being so negative about feats this early on. If the event finishes and she's still just a "walkietalkie" then sure go off. I'll even join you in complaining about it. But we really should wait to see how things play out before being so negative about it.
We can see here her and exodus have their power signatures flaring and their hand gestures are very attack-like gestures. I feel like this is the artist depicting them using their TK on Syne. Probably in a force-push or force-hold type of manner. IMO

To be fair, I can see how disappointed fans could at times anticipate the worst. However, that doesn’t mean you have to dump your every negative feeling on groups like this. I am not saying you have to be Mr. Sunshine bit if you’re basically vomiting negative energy on other people that’s not cool. It’s not the fault of other fans you see unhappy with the direction of Marvel.
Discussion is fine but people should not just rant negativity all the time.
