For those who think Jean is a goody-goody, I'd encourage you to pick up the recent "Murder at the Mansion" story of New X-Men (#139-141). Jean catches Emma and Scott having a sorta psychic affair (basically, they're thinking some slightly dirty thoughts and sharing them via Emma's telepathy). Needless to say, Jean absolutely goes nuts and, by the end, mind rapes Emma (she dives into Emma's darkest memories and makes her almost relive them). Emma has a great quote in it: "Your pacifist posturing hides a playground BULLY, Jean Grey!"
And for those who think Jean's powers are "boring", she has recently, in the comics, displayed the powers of the Phoenix Force without actually accessing the Phoenix. Ask anyone who's into the comics, and they'll tell you that reality-warping powers (what Phoenix, Proteus, Franklin Richards and others can do) are the most powerful and dangerous powers in the comics.
"True, but if the Phoenix hadn't gone into Jean, she wouldn't be that great"
Ignoring the fact that even without the Phoenix (which, in all technicality, Jean didn't acquire until just recently), Jean is the 2nd most powerful telepath (behind good 'ol Chucky Xavier) and probably the most powerful telekinetic in the X-Men comic universe. When Wolverine's adamantium skeleton was ripped out by Magneto in the Fatal Attractions story, Jean telekinetically held his body together and, at the same time, telepathically prevented his brain from recieving the pain his nerves were getting. Now, if that isn't some pretty amazing power, I don't know what is.
I love Jean......um......I love Jean some more.........Is there really anything I have to say here??? I have to admit, I didn't become interested in Jean until Phoenix showed up.....but since then, she's the best. In X-Men: Evolution, the episode "power surge", Jean's telekenisis begins rearanging matter on a molecular level. That's some power.
i always thought jean brought good balance to the x-men and like most of the x-men characters you got to see them grow a bit and jean seemed to grow into a warrior type that only strikes when threatend but when she strikes she strikes hard, whereas in the past she would do everything possible to avoid interaction with a foe but now she's more of a push me and ill push back type character
the pheonix is jean groanssssss.......shes wut made the pheonix...its personaity derives from herrr....... and she doesn't always yell for and faint..........i havne't heard i do that forrr since NEVER!!!!!!!!
