>>91026722

It was a shitty title. Phoenix is a good one

Marvel Girl was an alias back when the X-Men kept their identity a secret while acting as X-Men. Jean Grey revealed her powers to the world and didn't need a hero name any more

>>91026722
A lot of X-women tend to stop using codenames and default to their real names.

Emma, Kitty, Jean, Rachel, Jubilee, Hope, Dani, Monet,

Rogue is kind of the opposite in how she only ever had the codename and didn't get a real name for decades

>>91026722

Marvel Girl is the worst Marvel code name of the Silver Age.

I think Stan must have just wanted to use the name somewhere and randomly assigned it to Jean. Sort of like in the '70s he told the editors to create a Spider-Woman character just to make sure no one else could take the name.

Beast goes back in time to ancient Egypt with magic, later teams up with Dr Strange begins to dig magic.

Angel gets wings from some space deus ex called the Black Vortex.

>>91029032
Why are they still here? I feel like it would be easier to just get rid of them than keeping them around

>>91028998
In an effort to not fuck up like they think their future selves did they're trying to be as different as possible to them.

Beasts pursuit of science turned him blue and furry so young beast is turning to magic

Jeans Phoenix powers make her turn evil and die so she's staying away from fire powers and is focusing on mind reading and pink psionic things

Cyclops is hanging out with the champions and with space people and is not being a leader or pursuing Jean romantically.

Angel saw that his wings get torn out and replaced with metallic ones so at his first opportunity he cosmically powered himself up irreversibly and got fire wings (and other vaguely defined powers) as a result.

Iceman is just not suppressing his gayness.

>>91029076
Beast couldn't catch up with modern technology and science. It was too advanced for him all at once, and he needed to find a solution to send the O5 back to the past where they belong as soon as possible since the Time Cube that adult Beast used to bring them back wouldn't let them go back anymore. (I'm not sure why they just didn't ask Magik but whatev)
So he started looking into mystical solutions like >>91029171 said. He and Evan got sent back to the ancient past and he picked up a mystical artifact and started learning magic.

Warren found out that his future self had become Archangel and Apocalyse and then a dumbass braindead hippy. So in order to avoid this fate he used a an ancient space mirror macguffin called the Black Vortex to gain phenomenal cosmic power in the form of Cosmic Fire wings, the furthest thing possible from Archangel's metal wings.

Jean is leader because when Kitty Pryde was their teacher she chose her to be the leader of the O5 instead of Cyclops. This was when Bendis was writing. Of course then Jean quit to go to college, and then she joined Storm's main team and let the O5 travel the country in the VW bus without her. But she came back and is automatically leader again.

Also Iceman is gay because Jean has no concern for violating other people's most private thoughts, realized that he had gay thoughts and forced him to come out. He now has an Inhuman boyfriend

I must be the only one who liked Jean in X-Factor. In fact, I liked the fact that when the F4 and Avengers retrieved her cocoon, her telekinetic abilities were amped up at the cost of her telepathy. She and Sue Storm had their potential nerfed because it wasn't considered ladylike to create bubbles in people's bloodstreams or Force-crush.

I've always wondered what would've happened if Jean Grey never reunited with Scott and the rest of the O5 in 1986. Because quite frankly, it ruined Scott's life with Madelyn and Nathan. Jean would've been better off quitting the capes and masks for a while or maybe join as a reserve Avenger or something. Anything to get away from Scott and X-Men. In fact, Jean in space would be ideal like joining the Guardians of the Galaxy. Throw in Carol Danvars when she was Binary and this would be perfect.

>>91033407
That's the point of origin now? Well shit, no wonder 616 humans are batshit toward mutants. If Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants debuted after the worst terrorist attack on US soil, that's just impeccable timing.

>>91032043
I always liked the back-up Krakoa team; the one with Vulcan, Darwin, Petra, and Sway. It's a real shame that they got curbstomped because Gabriel had potential to not be an asshole. Keep in mind he was ripped out of his mom's womb, rapidly aged, and was a slave for years. That shit would twist anyone. And THEN, on his first mission as an X-Men, 2 of his friends die, the 3rd is in a regenerative cycle, and he's incapacitated for years.

>>91041275

>>91041275
The costume from the 90's on the far left always made me think that she was wearing a skimpy outfit. The non-blue portions made think it was bare skin.

Also, the Goblin Queen doesn't count for Jean because Madelyne Pryor, her clone wore that.

Jean really needs a good costume that relates to her personality and attributes, but no Phoenix motifs. I'm getting tired of that schtick.
