Jean Grey in the words of Walt Whitman, from his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, "Song of Myself" (51 and 52):
"Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
"Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you."

I love the Dauterman's X-Men Red recoloring from Giant Size X-Men. My favorite Jean look ever. there is something about the color combination of green and yellow I really like. He also toned down the huge shoulder pats. Such a good look.
This cover is so much fun. Great work.
Within the next two years or so, Cerebro will reveal that Jean, in addition to being an Omega Level telepath, is and has always been an Omega Level telekinetic. In fact, she will be classified as an Omega Level Psionic. However, her anomalous nature makes it difficult to properly gauge her abilities.☝️😌

The omega title is arbitrary and only exists bc thats how Xavier has chosen to define it in the current era. Who made him the end all, be all authority on that?
Arrako had Omega mutants as well. I don't think it's a Prof X thing.

It's also important to note that Destiny clocked our girl decades ago and, more recently, the Phoenix Force felt her wrath when she took control of the White Hot Room itself and made it sit in a corner of its own domain...

and Omega mutants existed long before HOX #1. The point wasn't to say that it was a Prof X thing, so much that the current definition was determined by him
I wasnt downplaying it so much as saying that Xavier isnt the end all authority on what Jean is.

X-Men Forever is irrelevant to this discussion as thats not referenced in the current era. Xavier wrote the HOX data entry, which is what I was going on. Again, Im not saying he created the term omega mutant or originator of it ever being defined, but that the current definition that is now being used came from him
