It would make sense, considering the ability to resurrect would also imply healing powers can reverse aging. Also, the Phoenix in original real life myths had a long life span. According to these myths once a Phoenix rises from the ashes it can live for at least 500 years before it has to burn up again. Some myths say the Phoenix can even live for over 1400 years.
I think I know what you mean. I've had that same thought about Jea Grey reincarnation. Would be a nest way to get back to the idea that Jean Grey is always Phoenix. Perhaps this version we know is just a blip in her life before she remembers traveling the cosmos thousands of years ago.
"Mother Askani" Rachel said the force left her at some point when she was going back and forth in the timestream. She merely retained a residue of it, but wasn't a full host
Like many here I would have liked the pink form to become a norm of Jean's powerset, but I don't think it will happen. I do think most of the characters power levels will be more down to earth and that includes even the omega mutants. What I liked about the pink power form is that it was a new take on Jean's powers and it could easily replace the Phoenix imagery by giving Jean's abilities a distinct look.
Going forward I hope Jean gets some interesting things to do in X-force. I think we will like seeing her work with Sage (and Beast). I hope she has an important role to play and I hope she is not a damsel or an object for male characters to fight over or go after. We've had enough of Jean as a girlfriend/wife (in my opinion). If she is not going to be a mutant leader/activist then I hope she has a big role to play in mutant intelligence. I like the X-men having roles other than being a superhero.
I'm part of the minority that likes the costume. Its one of my favorite costumes for Jean (I love the mask, and colors), and its use again has reignited my love for it. That being said, I don't care if it continues to get used or she's given something else to wear. I am really happy that we're getting to see Larraz draw it. He does a wonderful job.
I had this in mind
