@thewatcherking:
It didn't seem to weaken him at all, it's been stated that she uses said ability to amp up her TK.
In other words, Jean is amped when she does it, she doesn't weaken others as far as I can tell.
Read your sentence once again, because it contains basic logical flaws, which, no offence intended, but are a bit laughable from basic notions honestly.
So tell me, since when being drained doesn't mean being weakened, those 2 factors are ALWAYS interconnected, most of the basic instances showcase that cut and clear and you know that very well, so let's not pretend that it is something out of world, especially when it comes to flying brick type characters i guess by your own logical standpoint if Superman for example was drained from solar energy that wouldn't weaken him as well, that's nothing other than ignoring basical logic.
Yes, it does amp her TK, which is of course kinda obvious, if for example Parasite drains others it would make him stronger as well, basically by explanative means it clarifies that it is simply an after-effect of draining other's abilities, which as a reaction can enhance the user's own abilities, this notion doesn't contradict nor negate other effects, like you are trying to imply here.
Now it didn't weaken him? Seriously? Lol, let's see what we have got here, we have Gladiator, whose powers are literally coming from Psionic Energy, that's undisputable part of his character, then we have Jean Grey character with psionic abilities and in this case we reference her psionic draining abilities, doesn't take a genius to understand that someone who gets drained from his main source of power would cause a drastic effect on his power performance, so let's not pull those silly mental gymnastics here.
So overall we have a character who even in her energy form is not even a 40 tonner taking on 1.000.000 tonner in physical combat, now use your logic here, by basic notions she should have gotten defeated by simplistic means, yet it was the opposite, so definitely Gladiator being drained from his main source of power, affected his power-level flux.
Galactus was starving,
He is always starving, that's part of his character. But there was no statement, that he was on VERY LOW TERMS, like you are trying to imply here of course, he was on average level since nothing implied otherwise, plus prior to Teen Jean instance, he heavily drained and ate Phoenix Force Jean's energies, thus the whole he was "starving" notion is already taken aside, by these simplistic factors.
and Jean drew power from him,the phoenix force, the people on the alien world, and Terrax.
Correct.
Except Phoenix Force doesn't count here that much in our context, because Big G nearly drained her dry and almost killed her before Teen Jean intervened.
It seemed to me she was merely heavily amped, and Galactus judt felt it would be better to retreat.
Yes, she was amped, but tell me do you think that some psionic energy of people who are not even that psionically advanced (which means low amount of boost in form of psionic drain), combined with Terrax's energy (who is all about Power Cosmic, not Psionic Energy, while Jean can only and ONLY drain Psionic Energy), and some little tiny fraction PF energy (Psionic part of it, not the cosmic one) could harm Galactus who fed on most of PF energy and transformed in into his own Power Cosmic......anyone with basic understanding would disagree on that part really.
Of course she also tapped into Big G's power as well, but as we know he is all about Power Cosmic as well, not Psionic Energy, so while there would be certain boost of course, but not that much compared to draining his Power Cosmic, certainly not enough to make Galactus run away from combat, unless of course he didn't get weaker.
Nothing suggested to me that he was weakened by Jean.
Right, because being drained doesn't mean getting weaker, by this same logic it is no different than saying that if you turn a 130 watt lightbult into 80 watt lightbult (by turning down/draining some of the energy input), it would work the same way with same energy output with same amount illumination, sounds very logical, right? Lol.
Plus i guess any mid-tier with a small amp can now magically make Big G run away from battle, lol.
I will say it will help her, since Jean can amp herself to her above average levels.
Of course, she is essentially tranfering enemy's power to her, simple as that.
But nothing says she weakens people when she does use her ability.
Again, the Superman analogy here, if you are drained from main source of your power, it would affect your power pefromance, that is quite a simplistic notion.
It's essentially a battery comparison - imagine if your battery was drained from 100% to let's say 60%, saying that it won't affect the pefromance of your technology would be fundamentally wrong.
Though i was kinda surprised that you tried to pull the argument that being drained won't affect one's power-level, lol, first time seeing such type of stipulations really.
