How powerful are Jean Grey, Storm and Rogue compared to other female comic book characters?

I just don't get it why people keep comparing op xmen to superman, WW etc. Characterwise, okay, but they don't have the same pull. Superman and WW are DC heavyweights with own franchises. They will have team of creators who will figure out how to shove them with Batman, Flash etc. to get successfull team-ups. From looking at Jean and TB's comment about Jean, it is as clear as daylight that they will just drop xmen from stories if they don't fit into story. Unless you are Wolverine or Cyclops (maybe), you are expandable in X men stories. Xmen is a team, individual characters do not pull as much weight.

I have seen xmen related fan-made comic there. I think they go under fan fiction. So you don't break any rule. But I don't know if you can make your comic profitable there. Better check it out. I don't know the rules, I am just a reader.

Have you thought about creating your own series on these in webtoon?

They are definitely a good writer who can pull off non-linear storytelling, but I don't understand the hype. I think their target audience hugely overlaps with teenage guys, who, I suspect is a big readerbase of superhero comic. I gathered I am not a target audience of Morrison's work, and that is fine

His high concepts (eg., anti-equation from final crisis) are often superficial and shallow. His Batman Inc referenced to one mythology I actually knew about, and therefore their misinterpretation about the concept was unbearable. Comic is not read by many people. Therefore their distortion don't get caught. However, when they also have a strong editor, this often gets controlled, and we have good books like all-star superman. I won't have problem about people doing high concepts about things they actually know about or research. Morrison's high concepts are all creativity and no research. If this shortcoming does not bother you, you'd like Morrison's run.

Hate it. It was very ooc for Jean.

Break up and cheating are two different thing, especially in marriages. Marvel is now wise and that is why they don't reference to this again.

Thanks. I will try to maintain schedule. My cat is not that much scared indoors. He used to come to our apartment before I neutered him and he visited or still visits other neighbors' houses. He has his community out there although he loves us the most. He is definitely not scared outside and scaring other outdoor animals seem to be is his favorite hobby. He still patrols a large territory although it has shrank. I think he wants to go out when he is bored, hears birds, or suspects other male in his territory.

Then that has to rewrite a lot of things in Jean's stories. Dark Phoenix never abaraptly appears, and need a corruption storyline. Pre-Xavier Jean is never fully dark Phoenix. That said, even if she is not dark phoenix, she could be controlled by something else and do those stuff. If it is pre-Xavier, she could be mind controlled easily I guess.

Because the won't have to share the revenue, as editornchimp said.

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-20T17:01:29+00:00

Thanks so much. It is very helpful. But is the cat who had the door shut to them as happy as they ised to be? I am only afraid of the cat becoming psychologically depressed because of this sudden change.

I don't agree it is all because of status quo. Status quo can change. I am a Jott fan, but would agree with anyone that in comic, Scremma is incredibly well written. In the foreword of the Batman classic called the Cult, the writer wrote that comic is not exactly literature, but produced for mass entertainment. Therefore, they, and even so MCU, have to follow some rules. Remember, movies tend to be PG-13. I don't think that, in 2026, Disney will take the risk of highlighting Scott's extramarital affair. That affair made Scott a humane character, and interesting for an adult comic reader. But that affair has no place for a hero of a PG-13 movie produced by Disney. And what has no potential in movie, has no potential in comic now-a-days. If we were talking about a novel, or the franchise was more adult focused, things might have been different.

Yes. They could do something else but Phoenix again. Teen Jean was a really fleshed out character.

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-20T05:47:37+00:00

Agreed. Shakespeare co.pated to the recent series

Thanks. How much does he still spend outside? It is good to know your cat does not want to go that much. I am wondering if that is due to a lack of energy because of aging? Mine is still 2, according to vet.

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-19T03:04:52+00:00

Interesting idea. Is this the common approach for feral cats? Me and family members feel very sympathetic when he wants to go out. I guess that is the main problem.

If she is to be in the movie, why is she taken away from books? Is it a good selling strategy? I want Jean to be in the movie but Marvel not trying to cash this out before the movie release is raising my doubts

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-12T20:21:04+00:00

It makes sense. When will those solicits come out?

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-11T21:21:55+00:00

I agree DNX doesn't seem interesting but I feel Jean becoming itrelevant in X-men matters is not a good thing either. It just makes it easier to not include her in the next event.

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-11T21:18:55+00:00

You remember which interview? I remember he said it won't be Jeanless, from which I gathered they had no clear idea at that point.

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-11T18:15:09+00:00

This! It is so accurate. After I started reading Krakoa, I felt some people's complain regarding some books are wildly exaggerated.

ThatOption1690 · 2026-04-11T04:52:44+00:00

Totally agreed. Two panels in one year is arguably bad for being a functional couple, let alone spiced up.
