@namoritaisbae: because you didn't want it to be?

Jean and Storm. Its gonna sound cheesy but... World Peace and Saving the environment. Mental and physical manipulation of the world at the highest level to usher the world into a Age of Peace and Fix the environment, the ozone, barren areas. World Hunger. Global warming. Make life better for everyone. It would be my duty.

I think it depends on what you classify as "Strong female comic book character". For me she definitely exemplifies that on any standard, but I'm a fan so my view may be a little jaded. But I find her story and her character to be the making of a great female character. She isnt tormented by a tarnished past ( listen before you get into the many deaths and resurrections lol ). Before the phoenix entered her live she was raised as a normal child. She had a 2 parent household with a sibling. She wasnt dropped off out of simply fear and uncontrollable powers. She was sent to Xaviers because of her parents genuine concern for her best chance at what they knew to be a "normal" life. By standards of other female characters she lived a spoiled life. Loved and cherished by her birth family. And protected loved and doted on by her suurogate family at Xaviers. Of course she had trials in her life, Annie dying, many missions with the team but it never changed or waivered her core. For a women.. with the most to lose then essentially anyone, She decided to sacrifice herself to save Earth and her friends. That is a strong female character. I rarely have seen such resolve and selflessness in any other woman in comics.

Phoenix hands down. From what you guys are saying about the Godwave, it affects reality. Whereas the Phoenix can live outside of reality and affect it from there. Altering anything it deems detrimental to life or simply nonfunctioning.

Nurrrrr..... Wouldnt it make sense that if her telepathic abilities were developing rapidly Charles put the blocks to slow the flow them. But being an omega level mutant she wouldnt need to "absorb" his powers, just her trying to force her telepathic ability would be enough to tear down the blocks. Jean Posesses high amounts of just raw power.

1) Jean Grey fans, do you like Emma Frost, has she been a good girlfriend to Cyclops and a good X-Men leading lady. Has she better than Jean Grey ? I do like Emma Forst, she was a great "woman behind the man". As a leading lady she let her man run the show and she did what she thought was best, to her best. As far as being better, No because Jean isnt a Behind the man type of woman, When Xavier left in New X-Men Jean was in charge.

2) Do you feel Emma Frost earn right to be X-Men leading lady or did she sleep her way to the top ? This answer is tricky, its a little of both. She wanted Scott, i dont think it had anything to do with working her way to the top. But how she went about pursuing Scott was trashy and classless, tho she claims to be "top class bred".

3) Does Jean deserve to be treated better than Emma, now that she back. Do you feel Emma will be push aside like Jean Grey was ?

I wouldnt say just off sheer tit for tat that Jean should be treated better , but I do think Marvel should treat the first X-Woman with more respect than has been shown. I feel that Jean's story is more something they wanna explore rather then Emma trailing behind Scott and being seen as a villain again.

4) Are you glad Jean back, and you want to see there interesting rivalry again ? I love Jean so im glad she's back. Rivalry, not really its been done, maybe a quick "woman to woman" as it were.

5) Would you prefer them to be friends? Jean and Emma in New X-Men was as close as friends as they got, and if u were to read it without knowing anything about X-Men u would think that they are sisters. One perky friendly smart, the other sassy and smart.

6) Emma swore to get her revenge on Jean Grey, do you think she will , now that Jean a kid ?. I doubt it, that would be counterprotductive to how Emma's character has grown, she might as well find Shaw and snatch the hellfire from those brats if thats what she will do.

7) In the future, should we see Jean and Scott back together or Emma and Scott ?. What is the better relationship ? Who is the better girlfriend ? I would rather Scott be left alone, his girlfriends tend to ..die or have a extremely close encounters. Madelyne... died. Jean...Died. Emma..... near death about 2 or 3 times.

8) Will marvel hook up Jean with Logan at some point and should they ? I wouldve liked that during her original life, not now. Maybe when she goes back to the past, if she manages to stay alive, maybe...

9) Will marvel ever return the 616 version of Jean grey and should they ? I hope so, Jean is something who has been tied with baggage of failed marriage and over redundant self sacrificing deaths, im over it. Let her live. Give her the chance to be how great she was becoming.

10) Are you liking Bendis's Jean Grey ? I think she has captured the essence of a young Jean and her personality pretty accuretly. I think he has captured the young Jean's essence and personality very well.

" time

Good, Emma deserve that treatment, Jean was treated poorly for years, just so Emma can shine in comics"

And this was before QueenForst's comment.

But I don't want to argue about this... live and let die, "Hunni, sweety, baby, cookie"

lol, I cannot control others reaction, i showed u what sparked my response. thats all i can do. also "live and let die" girl get ya life.... very unecessary.

Weren't you and Time to start the debate, not Emma Frost's fans?? Illyana Rasputin had just said something about Emma - not Jean- and you and Time started an argument about who's better between Emma and Jean, even if it was off-topic and if no one had stated nothing about or against Jean before. The ones who compared them were you, not Emma's fans.

QueenForst :

^^^ Lool love u boo

And are we really gonna argue here? Jean Grey is like the lamest character....ever. The writers tried so hard to make her work and be loved, but just...no. Emma Frost just oozes depth, and despite writers constantly dragging her character down she still manages to secure a strong fanbase and be enjoyed by the masses. She is everything the writers wanted Jean Grey to be and more.

Hunni, sweety, baby, cookie look first i read thru this thread before i posted what i said, my comment was not even geared towards Illyana Rasputin. I saw nothing wrong with what she said, as stated previously, people get very protective over main and faved characters. There was another comment made, bashing and attacking Jean where I thought it was offensive. Secondly please dont assume to kno the motives behind why i commented. Thirdly I wrote my last post because I didnt like how harsh I was on Emma, even tho I believe what I wrote, the tone in which it was written was unneccessary. And lastly it wasnt us who started it, I didnt start anything i was responding to a SPECIFIC comment made, altho i didnt tag the person or reply or quote it was for that comment.

-stares blankly- U completely have said what Ive been saying forever. People usually dont like Jean because she is all powerful and also has a kind heart, they see no conflict, which makes every other character seem weak and petty in comparison. So ensues the Jean hate. But she was always meant to be what she is now. She is the epitomy mutant evolution, well evolution period. Her inate ability to understand her power and master it so completely shows signs of limitless potential. Also i believe that its her character, her integrity that makes her the person she is today, whenever faced with choosing between herself and other life, she willingly dies. My favorite quote about her powers were from Death "She was always meant to inhereit those gifts, it was her birthright, the power of the phoenix was hers".
