Jean Grey-Summers Character Review
Jean Grey-Summers is a fictional character, a comic book superheroine who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. She has been known under the aliases Marvel Girl, Phoenix, and Dark Phoenix and is best known as one of the founding members of the X-Men, for her relationship with Cyclops, and for her central role and transformation in the classic X-Men storyline "The Dark Phoenix Saga".
Jean Grey is a mutant born with telepathic and telekinetic
powers. Her powers first manifested when she saw her childhood friend
being hit by a car. She is a caring, nurturing figure, but she also has
to deal with being an Omega-level mutant and the physical manifestation of the cosmic Phoenix Force.
She has faced death numerous times in the history of the series, the
first being when, in her guise as Marvel Girl, she died and was "reborn"
as Phoenix, which in time led to her second - though not last - death
in the classic "Dark Phoenix Saga".
Jean is an important figure in the lives of other Marvel Universe
characters, mostly the X-Men, including her husband Cyclops; her mentor
and father figure Charles Xavier; her close friend and sometimes romantic interest Wolverine; her best friend and sister-like figure Storm; and her genetic children Rachel Summers, X-Man, Cable, and Stryfe.
The character was present for much of the X-Men's history, and she was featured in all three X-Men animated series and several video games. Famke Janssen portrayed Jean in the X-Men films. She is a playable character in X-Men Legends (2004), X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse (2005), Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (2009), and Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds (2011), and appeared as an enemy in the first Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. In 2006, IGN rated Jean Grey #6 on their list of Top 25 X-Men from the past forty years, and in 2011, IGN ranked her 13th in the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes. She was ranked third in Comics Buyer's Guide's 100 Sexiest Women in Comics list.

Powers and Abilities (Jean Grey-Summers)
Jean Grey is an Omega-level mutant, and at her highest and strongest potential is transformed into the Phoenix Force.
Telepathy
When her powers first manifest, Jean is unable to cope with her telepathy, forcing Professor X to suppress her access to it altogether. Instead, he chooses to train her in the use of her telekinesis while allowing her telepathy to grow at its natural rate before reintroducing it. When the Professor hides to prepare for the Z'Nox, he reopens Jean's telepathic abiliites, which was initially explained by writers as Xavier 'sharing' some of his telepathy with her.
Jean's telepathy allows her to read, influence, control, and communicate with the minds of others, project her mind into the astral plane, and generate telepathic force blasts that can stun or kill others. Jean is one of the few telepaths skilled enough to communicate with animals (animals with high intelligence, such as dolphins, dogs, and ravens).
She can also telepathically take away or control people's natural bodily functions and senses, such as sight, hearing, smell, taste, or even mutant powers. A side effect of her telepathy is that she is gifted with an eidetic memory. Jean was able, through telepathic therapy with the comatose Jessica Jones, to grant Jessica immunity to the Purple Man's mind control abilities, despite his powers being chemical in nature rather than psychic. When Jean absorbs Psylocke's specialized telepathic powers, her own telepathy is increased to the point that she can physically manifest her telepathy as a psionic firebird whose claws can inflict both physical and mental damage.
Phoenix discovers that she can telepathically enhance the powers of other mutants. She briefly develops a psychic shadow form like Psylocke's, with a gold Phoenix emblem over her eye instead of the Crimson Dawn mark possessed by Psylocke, Jean briefly lost her telekinesis to Psylocke during this exchange, but her telekinetic abilities later came back in full at a far stronger level than before.
Telekinesis
Her telekinetic strength and skill are both of a supremely high power-level, capable of grasping objects in Earth orbit and manipulating hundreds of components in mid-air in complex patterns. She uses her telekinesis to often lift herself and others giving her the ability of levitation and flight. She uses her telekinesis to create durable shields and energy blasts. She later manifests a "telekinetic sensitivity" (called "the Manifestation of the Phoenix") to objects in her immediate environment that lets her feel the texture of objects, their molecular patterns, feel when other objects come into contact with them, and probe them at a molecular or subatomic level.
Phoenix Force
When transformed into Phoenix, Jean's powers escalate to an incalculable level, allowing her to rearrange or disintegrate matter at a subatomic level, fly unaided through space, survive in any atmosphere, and manipulate electromagnetic and cosmic energies for various effects and atmospheric disturbances. She can create stargates that can transport her anywhere in the universe instantaneously. At this level, she is powerful enough to easily defeat a herald of Galactus.
Jean, while acting as a Phoenix Force avatar, can create 'cosmic' flames, even in seemingly impossible situations such as the vacuum of space or underwater. Typically they manifest as a raptor or part of a raptor such as a claw or wings. Jean has perfect control over these flames, and they only consume what she wills, and these flames do not require oxygen to burn, and burn so intensely that matter is consumed without by-products such as ash. It is unclear whether these flames are an extension of her telekinesis and telepathy or a more general property of the Phoenix Force. The cosmic flames are a literal punctuation to the Phoenix's purpose to "burn away what doesn't work", as well as being described as "burning through lies" and deception.
As the Phoenix, Jean is able to resurrect after death. In some
depictions, these resurrections are immediately after she is killed,
while other depictions indicate that resurrection must occur at a
"correct" time, sometimes taking a century. The Phoenix Force allows
Jean to revive, absorb, rechannel, and preserve the life-force of any
kind of life-form, meaning that she can take life energy from one person
and give it to others, heal herself with the same life energy, or even
resurrect the dead, since the Phoenix is the sum of all life and death.

The relationship between Jean Grey and the Phoenix (and the nature of
the powers she has) is portrayed in a variety of ways throughout the
character's history. In the initial plotline of the Phoenix being a
manifestation of Jean's true potential, these powers are considered her
own, as part of Claremont and Byrne's desire to create "the first cosmic superheroine." However, since the retcon of the Phoenix as a separate entity from Jean
Grey, depictions of these powers vary; these include Jean being one of
many hosts to the Phoenix and "borrowing" its "Phoenix powers" during
this time, being a unique host to the Phoenix, and being one with the Phoenix. She is later described as one of the few to hold the unique title of
"White Phoenix of the Crown" among the many past, present, and future
hosts of the Phoenix.
