Your right of course that in some marvel the distinction between host and perfect host outlines Jean and Phoenix to be one in the same but they both existed seperately and without each other.
No Jean isnât the Phoenix. Jean is a mutant her powers are TK and telepathy.
The phoenix can be anyone⊠It doesnt start and stop with Jean and was around long before she was born, but itâs true that Jean was born in itâs image and drew n itâs power to be born.
The phoneix is powered by unborn energy that it harvests. When the force came for Jean she instead drew from itâs power to be born and thatâs where that connection comes into play.
Itâs also true that Jean is the perfect host for the Phoenix because of thisâŠshe is the Phoenix of the crown.
Is it her power? No! Itâs like saying Wanda is all that is magic and creation⊠She of course isnât⊠But she is the Nexus or gateway to itâs primal sources and can command that power like no one else.
You could say she IS magic and choas you could say she is the yang force to the Phoenix but the trust is she isnât just like the Phoenix force magic and creative predates Wandaâs existence.
So Jean of course has been Phoenix but the Phoenix has its own mind and has been around since time began unlike Jean grey. Itâs even failed jeans a few times too⊠Not allowing her to use her powers when the force itself prefers a different evolutionary path.
Just like hope summers who was born after M day. The Phoenix broke Wandaâs spell to allow just one more mutant to be born in itâs image.
Personally I prefer Jean on her own. She doesnât even need the Phoenix force sheâs is already an Omega level mutant and already too powerful for marvel without it
There are very few bad guys that can take Jean on as a mutant let alone a host of the Phoenix
Yes @WandaMaximoff we know the whole story of Phoenix
It comes down to when you say Phoenix the general consumer knows who that is, the red head mutant of Xmen
No one would mistake Phoenix as say mystique or storm, or even rachel or Betsy as the entity has found other hosts people still equate Phoenix with jean grey because itâs the most popular incarnation
We are talking face value here not Deep meta comic timeline layered host possibilities.
Public : jean grey= Phoenix
Marvel doesnât have this character listed as âJean, not Phoenixâ , sheâs PHOENIX
As much as I like the Scarlet Witch, thereâs a character alike her that I prefer⊠which also happens to be a really cool âPremiereâ skin for her in Marvel HeroesâŠ
Wiccan:
I havenât played Marvel Heroes in a long while, but he and Psylocke were my go-to characters. As soon I found out he was a skin for Wanda, I just had to get it.
Wiccan and his twin brother are children of the Scarlet Witch and Vision, however, Wanda had to draw on magical energy to be able to get pregnant and give birth to her sons. And it was revealed that the magical energy came from the evil demon Mephisto who took the energy back which killed the twins.
The two brothers were then somehow reincarnated, but not as brothers, yet they still looked exactly alike other than hair colour. While Wiccan had inherited the magical powers of their mother, his twin brother Speed inherited Quicksilverâs speedy power, and the two of them found each other and became part of what is known as the Young Avengers.
I have only read up on some of those characters, but I am very interested in them and the Young Avengers. And after having read up on Wiccan, heâs quickly become a favourite character of mine. Not to mention he is gay and is in a relationship with Hulkling who is a strong shapeshifter also part of the Young Avengers.
