I think what Bendis is doing with Jean is fascinating. Because she’s dead most of the time, Jean is often put on a pedestal as this perfect, virtuous woman who was everyone’s true love. But by using a young version of the character, we are getting to see the person behind the myth for the first time in years and see that she’s a complex character even without the manipulations of the Phoenix. Jean is very powerful, and because she can’t control it, she is dangerous. This is the most interesting the character has been in a long time, perhaps even in my lifetime. Also interesting was the idea that was raised in Jean and Kitty’s conversation, that the dynamic between the OG X-Men has been completely changed, whereas before they always stuck together, forming X-Factor and all of that stuff, now, they are split. Throughout this series I have been most interested in how the arrival of the original team has effected the modern-day characters (hell, that was Beast’s intent, to have it make Cyclops change his ways), but now we have to think on how it’s effected the original team themselves. These guys aren’t a plot device, Bendis is treating them like real characters. Of course, there is still plenty of good stuff to be wrung out of present-day reactions, for example, next issue we’ll see the OG team come face to face with the Uncanny Avengers and Cyclops’ brother Havok. Correct me if I’m wrong, but at the point in time that the original team have been plucked from, does Cyclops even know that his brother is still alive? Oh yeah, and Mystique is continuing to stir up trouble, that’s fun stuff, I liked how she’s not just targeting mutant-related stuff, she’s stealing Tony Stark’s money too. This is just a brilliant comic, each issue of both this and Uncanny are momentous occasions for me! |

The stuff with Jean Grey has been incredibly interesting. She is demonstrating abilities she shouldn't have yet and she is using them in ways she shouldn't be able to control. It's obvious that being brought into the future has had terrible consequences on all of the original X-Men but maybe none so much as Jean. I really can't wait to see what Bendis' end game is here. Obviously they original X-Men are going to go back to the past eventually but what state will they be going back in and what ramifications will that have on the present as we know it? |

No, Cyclops eventually had to have Emma call them off because "they were being too hard on her." Boo freakin' hoo.

http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4334296.html#cutid1 Plus, you get this awesome little nugget:  There's just something very rewarding about one of the actual original five X-Men standing on the lawn of the Jean Grey School, proclaiming that Magneto is right about something.

Sure everyone reminds each other of Jean's death, but Warren has been thru hell.. He goes to the future and learn he has been tortured and transformed and killed and his future self is a mentally challenged individual... I'd leave to. Also because Cyclops is right. |

That's Marvel logic for you. This is all leading to Wolverine banging her, btw. |

And there's three of them. |

but if Jean had training she probably could have taken them, as she is arguably the strongest telepath in the Marvel Universe (she is an Omega Level mutant) |
