It is possible for her to do all those things, thats what ive been stating all throughout this thread , so im confused as to why you felt the need to reiterate my previous points to me. 😕
The fact of the matter is that Phoenix is a cosmic being, she is totally indestructible in essence and can extend this feature to her physical form. The fact that she has bolstered her durability many a time in the comics to bathe in supernovas, laugh off herald level attacks (and even Rachel has laughed off Galactus' offence) and yet chose to kneel down beside Xorneto (please bear in mind her telepathy) and take a blast from Xorneto? PIS. Her death was telegraphed over a year before it happened and she said she had work to do elsewhere and wouldnt be long for this reality (616). Regardless of whether you think im a hypocrite (something i greatly dispute!! 😉 ) or not you cannot deny that was PIS.

Hulk gets overpowered and 3 hitter quitter'd.
Apocalypse jobs and is scared of tables.
Hulk and Apocalypse arent cosmic beings who can materialize their desires with a thought. Irrelevant comparison.
Wanda can die and has had many an emotional breakdown too. Youre forgetting that she is a mentally disturbed human. Whats your point? As stated and shown on panel Jean can forsake her humanity by reverting to energy form or by allowing the consciousness to take over. Youre continually ignoring that point and restating the same old point over and over. Its an option that is open to Jean, please acknowledge that. Its something shes done on panel before and the fact that she can so easily do these things but for some reason decides not to allowing herself to be killed is again PIS.

Pot calling the kettle black im afraid Ill. 😉
In canon material Jean can make herself indestructible, she can let the Phoenix Consciousness take over and direct her actions, if her physical body is mortally wounded or damaged to an extent which should prove fatal for a human body Jean can and has kept it alive from the brink of death and wished away the injuries (New X-men 148, Endsong). Im looking at the canon instances where all thats occurred and then looking at her "deaths" and saying in light of all of that if Jean didnt want to die then she wouldnt have, if Jean hadnt erected her psychic circuit breakers she wouldnt have been susceptible to Mastermind (a point thats made clear in her bios). Phoenix has never been killed in an instance devoid of PIS. The first time was self inflicted, the second time she had work to do elsewhere and so allowed herself to be killed as per the will of the Phoenix Consciousness.
Despite all of that canon material at hand to reference what youre doing is simply ignoring all of that and saying no it just shows shes susceptible. 😕

In canon continuity a planetary level emp HAS killed her. Youre wording makes it sound like the limit of Phoenixes durability is an offensive from Xorneto.❌
Canon continuity has shown and stated that is conclusively NOT the case. Canon continuity has shown her laugh off far more, canon continuity states she can have any durability she desires, canon continuity shows that Jean can have her heart gouged out on several instances and yet still stay alive and dismiss the injuries. Why? Because she wanted to. 😄
Whats this talk of forcing Jean back into the egg? Dont know where you got that impression, but that doesnt happen in the event of her death. Jean has "died" many a time and just got back up seconds later. The egg is something that is derived from the Crown, it is how Phoenix manifests back into reality when she has work to do and as such its not a process Wanda has any control over. 😱

Nope. Jean is vulnerable if she chooses to be. Being indestructible is an option open to her and given that shes going into battle and both characters would have basic knowledge of each other as per forum rules its something she would do. Theres nothing Wanda could do to kill her if she decided she didnt want to die.
