we're talkin an all out fight and jean would win she's freakin pheonix and i would tear you up with jean against storm on xmen next dimension (i traded mine in ❌ i shouldn't a done that) but i was best with wolverine or nightcrawler
It was said in the movie novelization that Storm's mind is hard to scan for telepaths, but in the "X-Men: Vignettes" story featuring Jean and Storm, Jean accidentally reads her mind (since she has to fight to keep others' thoughts out, not bring them in) and discovers her claustrophobia.
I think that Jean could easily take down Storm if she caught her off-guard. On the other hand, if Storm struck first, the fight would be hers, since her abilities are so powerful, she could stun Jean or make it impossible for her to maintain concentration. It's all a matter of who hits first and how hard.
This would be a tough battle, If Storm ambushed Jean i think she could win cuz lighting is faster than the mind. But if they were prepared, Jean would have her force-fields up, still having a hard time cuz of storms sheer power. But i would give the battle to jean, anyway jean would get the benefits of the phoenix, remember NXM in the white hot room, she's a white phoenix of the crown. Unless we're talkin pre Phoenix Jean, that's a completely different story...
