Quote: Best telepath/telekine around and matriarch of the X-Men. Storm comes close in the latter, but not even really to Jean's extent.Yeah, I guess Emma could never fill that niche, though it sometimes seemed as though she was trying, her stripper outfit and harsh comments notwithstanding. She was trying to fill Jean's shoes - but just didn't have the emotional capacity for it. Hmm - all of a sudden I find myself wishing for the White Queen and Moonstone to become a duo. Storm is another X-Man who could have been developed into Marvel's premiere female character - but wasn't. Quote: Scott only ever hindered her, frankly.Quote: I'd say the Professor being dead would help her more than anything. His existence tended to overshadow her. However...Quote: Xavier seems to be coming back too.I'm sorry to hear that Professor X is coming back. I really don't believe Marvel has any idea what to do with him. I wish Marvel could be counted on to really try new things instead of just pretending to. Adult Jean Grey with no Scott and no Professor X would be well positioned to step forward as Marvel's archetypal woman hero, on a par with DC's Wonder Woman. But of course that won't happen. She'll become the Phoenix. Again. And die. Again.
