Jean being used as an example of the pinnacle of telepathic power. The Cuckoos mention that Pale-Girl is the "true Omega...more powerful than even Jean" in their bid to manipulate Quentin Quire. Xavier mentions that even wearing Cerebro, Pale-Girl is cloacked to him, except for a split second where he gets a very brief whiff of her, of which he said PG reminds him of Jean...but other, once again alluding to Jean's power. He also mentions Russia as a whole is blocked off for him, which may be due to PG. (Wolverine vol.7 #3)

Gallery
Jean Grey acts as a "mental anchor" for Wolverine as Charles Xavier sends his mind through time. While doing this job, she sends out a psionic pulse a mile-wide every time Logan leaves a point in time to travel to another psychically in order to mind-wipe anyone in the vicinity who happens to notice Logan's actions in the timestream. This has the unfortunate consequence of exhausting Jean and Charles, since they performed this task multiple times throughout Logan's (and Charles' by extension) history, forcing them to briefly lose Logan's mind and having to fight Mikhail (powerful reality warper) using Omega Red to control Logan's body mentally. In the end, they bring back Logan's mind to his normal body and kick out Omega Red and Mikhail.

@marygcrisostomo: it's not so much illusions as solid psionic projections as seen in their interactions with the x-men, so her blowing them up leans towards tk. add to that the fact that when scott showed up and jean thought it was another projection from the phoenix, she knocked him back with TK. given how she thought it was a projection just like the ones she just blasted, it being TK on scott makes it more evident that it was TK in her previous blast
Uh...we can't really tell for sure. She could be talking about just some point in time in the past. But she mentioned she looked for nature girl by searching other people who might have seen them due to not wanting to crack their psi blockers coz it'd kill them. It's possible she touched every mind on earth in her search for NG
Yeah we'll update the main OP with feats we think deserve a spot there. But otherwise they'll be in the compilation of krakoa era feats (first post on this page)

Blightswill is an alcoholic drink from Otherworld that has the effect of temporarily neutralizing mutant powers. Storm and Wolverine had to drink Blightswill during the Contest of Swords to remove their power.
After getting stabbed with blightswill with a high concentration of blightswill, it disrupts Jeans powers and immediately removes her psychic connection to Scott in new york.
With the stab wound killing her, and bieng poisoned by blightswill, Jeans body also catches fire.
This is where the feat begins.
Even with her powers disabled, Jean begins to perform some amazing telepathic feats
1- She takes firestar to the astral plane to form a plan with her, and then rewrites Dr Stasis memories then she helps firestar resist Xaviers psychic command for all mutants to leave the planet
Gallery
2- She sends are astral form to scott in new york and sends a message to Logan in an unknown location also waking him from Xaviers spell as he resists
Gallery
All these was done as her body turned into a pile of bones. Perhaps, if she wasn't poisoned then she could have rebuilt her body like when she died in Venomized or possessed someone else (like she did in the 90s hellfire club sentinel attack or in her solo as a ghost)
Second Favourite feat would be during the fight against Nimrod
Gallery
she shields everyone in the Gala building from the explosion caused by nimrod and Juggernaut clashing, at the same time catching the falling building and projecting a message into the minds of everyone there, including the ORCHIS agents who had psi blockers on.
Does Magneto have psychic defenses without his Helmet back in the time period he fought the Original Five X-Men for the first time. Teen Jean mind wiped him the same way Professor X did
@psiviners319 Did Jean stop the Phoenix Wolverine attack with her telekinesis or her control over the Phoenix Force?
She likely stopped it with her TK given they are showing her energy signature. for the 2nd one, Magneto should still have really formidable TP defenses without the helmet, and I personally think he would be guarding his mind knowing Xavier is involved...
This has to be the hardest take on magic I've ever seen and it also puts Jean as a huge threat against it. Mysterium, the anti-magic metal forged on her fire is an extension of her own existence as a being above magic#XSpoilerspic.twitter.com/wosKV8VCbj
In a podcast, Gerry Duggan, the writer of X-Men and X-Men Hellfire Gala, calls Jean Unbeatable. "The tower is literally collapsing and she's holding the tower and the people in it with her mind and she should be unbeatable there but orchis had a plan for that" 1:44:30
@psiviners319 Is this considered as a writer statement that can apply to the character depiction in the story?
