the way i look at it, its not a matter of speculation, the fact that Jean is quote, un-quote "dead" right now pretty much proves that her physical frame can be and have been destroyed..the PF is something different entirely "that" is what cant be defeated the PF. no matter who the host is they are suseptible, if Jean as Phoenix was so infallible and impervious then Jason Wyngrade wouldnt have been able to mind f **** her the way he did...as phoenix! remeber she even sacrificed her body during that shiar incident just so that the PF could be without a host and the universe saved...key words her body
If you were to read up on current continuity, you would find out that Jean is NOT a host for the Phoenix Force, she is in fact the form the force takes on in the physical plane. With that in mind the above opinion is inconsequential.
If you were to refer back to Jeans appearances as Phoenix and her bio entries you would see that it is within her abilities to render herself above all harm. It is within her abilities to bring herself back from the brink of death and shrug off injuries which would otherwise prove fatal to a mortal body. That is all canon. She has done these thing sbefore and after the "Xorneto" incident. The fact that she has those abilities yet she didnt choose to save herself when he attacked her renders it PIS in light of that. It was a plot device and one that was telegraphed on panel long before the issue and even in said same issue.
Jean was susceptible to Mastermind because she erected psychic circuit breakers in her mind after she had dealt with the M'kraan crystal. It was self inflicted and the point is stated in her bios. In a forum match up we dont cater for plot devices. We look at their abilities and feats and we speculate with them as a guideline. Jean has it within herself by canon to place herself above all forms of harm and if she doesnt want to die then she wont die. Jeans death in New X-men 150 was something we were prepared for by comments such as "Jean dies to be reborn", Phoenix is needed to perform a "destined disinfection", she is born and consumed in blood flame and sacrifice, but always returns. Jean even told Logan in the same issue that she had work to do and that she wasnt long for that reality (616). Despite being the greatest telepathic force in Marvel and by canon able to place herself above harm or recover from seemingly fatal injuries, Jean kneels by Xorneto and strokes him before he emps her!! A page later we see the Phoenix egg and then we all know what goes on to happen. Plot device peeps!!

I wouldnt really go out on a limb and say that Wanda is taking her down anytime soon, but afterall this is Wanda vs Genis...and even then I wouldnt count her out either.all the things she did, she DID do it...its not like anybody is making up powers for her, and the fact that thier really hasnt been any side quests or elseworld-esque adventures for the avengers everything she has done is basically canon material. and i echo ill's sentiment about her body reacting to protect itslef. cuz remeber she was being tutored in magic by strange, and she was taking magic very seriously, and was using it in battles, but when the Sqaudron supreme showed up and started owning.. her natural abilites just kicked in and went to work altering probailtes left and right. so who knows perhaps she could short out jeans powers or the very least separte her from the force. and as far as im concerned separtating someone from the field of play does count as a victory. it doesnt matter if they can come back at will or not.
Well you should now know that Jean is the human form of the Phoenix as stated on panel and as confirmed by Endsong and the latest Phoenix bio. Youre speculating about Wandas ability to react to harm automatically. It isnt sufficiently supported on panel and her last bio which came out just before House of M, but after Dissassembled makes no reference to that ability.Wanda MAY be able to instinctively apply her power for simple things however thats still no good against Genis' cosmically enhanced reactions and light speed flight.
You may consider removing someone from the field of play a victory, however considering forum rules do NOT thats rather irrelevant. If Jean couldnt return to the battlefield under her own power then it would be a victory, however as she can then it does not.

BTW its best to leave Jim Jaspers out of this cuz he could take on Anybody any day...that guy is basically a super intelligent full powered molecule man, with an insanity driven imagination(which is the most dangerous kind). he doesnt mess with probabilties he warps reality....on a cosmic scale, and he has shown to do this by the way just in case anyone wants to dispute, and it took the destruction of his entire reality to do him in. while im certain Phoenix has that power Jean's physical frame wouldnt be able to draw up on all that energy in a reasnable amount of time, plenty of time of Jaspers to mess her up in ways yet imagined,
And yet Jean can forsake her human form and take on an energy form thereby doing away with such limitations. Its all stated in the Phoenix bio my friend. Phoenix is the force that makes reality possible, while at the same time the Phoenix Force itself is derived from the Crown which beyond the restrictions of reality. Jim or Wanda would have nothing to work with in a forum battle because each party goes in with basic knowledge of the other and they are at full power. Jean has the ability to place herself above physical harm and she can command any energy type in any amount. Plus Jeans physical frame had the power to manipulate the 616 universe atom by atom in the palm of her hand, it had the power to amputate 616's entire future on a whim, it had the power to contain the multiversal power of the M'kraan crystal. Your comments arent supported on panel.

back to wanda and genis she has shown to warp an entire universe...i believe the whole universe was afftected, not just earth cuz if not Saturnyne wouldnt have threatened to destroy all of 616 in HOM to protect the omniverse from its wayward energies, cuz thats what she does being the omniversal majextrix and all so if it was only earth i dont think wanda would pose a threat to literally all there is...Genis is a guy who is shown to be a veritable god, but not a god, god.. tho he has some impressive feats he can take wanda in her reg. incarnation when she's bat shit insane and extremely powerful i dont know
If you were to read Uncanny X-men 462 again carefully you would see that while they knew the chaos wave originated from Earth, they were unable to determine its source. For all we know THAT is the reason why they decided to destroy the universe as a last measure. Given that Roma made reference to the warp being "global" in scale and the fact that that is the only on panel reference we have to how big it is, there is really no debating it. Anything else is speculation. Id wait for Wandas bio to come out and then we'll see. 😉
Wanda didnt pose a threat to all that is. The chaos wave did. It was either a spillover of the reality warp on Earth 616, or it was a result of the tear she cause in the walls of reality (Legion sparked off a similar wave by tearing the walls between realities in Legion Quest). Either way her power proved to be a catalyst, she never directly generated and maintainbed the wave. Her actions were merely the cause behind it, therefore any resultant destruction was not a feat of hers. Not something she could necessarily achieve by direct application of her power.
