To clear up that question.
This was formulated by WhiteWitchKing ...
no need to further break this down myself,
he did a meticulous and perfect job.

It wasn't Jean, it was in fact the Stranger.
Jean was merely told by Eternity about the Stranger's plan
to control humanity's eventual evolution into abstracts.
Once he does so, he basically controls the new abstracts of a new universe.
X-Men Forever 1-6 was about humanity's place in the universe.
The keys,
or vanguards, of humanity's future were Toad, Mystique, Jean, Bobby, and Cain.
The Phoenix had nothing to do with it
except that Jean was the only "key" to have touched cosmic hood.
