1)    Convince Beast to leave the Avengers and return to the X- Men 

7) . She should pass judgment against Scarlet Witch. Jean force Cyclops to move on with Emma Frost, so the mutant race and the X-Men will have a future and Scarlet Witch nearly destroy that and in the end,  the X-Men lost Cable, Kurt and Bishop. So it’s time for Scarlet to be judge and Jean would be the best person  to do that. I think it will be a interesting story to explore cause, Magneto will have to decided whether he going to protect his daughter or not, so he may betray the X-Men. Also Polaris has to decide  whether  she will save her sister. I think it should be a crossover with Avengers but, the only one for a a least a few years. I am so tired of crossovers  
 
8) Finally  she lose the Phoenix  for while, it should happen after Jean battles Scarlet witch, doesn't mean she loses. It just means writers can focus more on her character without the  Phoenix .  

i think she needs to break away from dating for a while, especially with Logan and Scott, be her OWN person, she's a strong lady and needs to show it, i'd love her to even have her own team, maybe a team of people like her, such as Madylne Pryor, Hope and Rachel.  
 
also i want her to beat Emma Frost's ass 
 
TEAM GREY BABY!!

Sorry, but I think most of these are pretty bad ideas.

  1)    Convince Beast to leave the Avengers and return to the X- Men 

 2)    Rebuild the friendship that has been broken between Cyclops & Beast and Cyclops and Charles 
 
3)   Established a new team with Storm, alongside Charles, Beast, Gambit and X-23. Storm should be the leader.   
 
4)       Move on from Cyclops. Although I want Cyclops and Jean to reunite eventually. I think when she return, she should focus more on herself, she needs some space from him.  
 
5)   Have it out with Emma, although these two have fought each other before. I would like to see it again. Emma Frost swore to get revenge on Jean or the Phoenix  at the end of Phoenix Warsong.  So I would like to see how it plays out. I think Cuckoos & Rachel should be involved too. Jean Grey should be without the Phoenix , to make it more of a fair fight.          
  
6)  She should help Logan be a better father for X-23 and Daken. Eventually she should end up dating Logan , to see how there relationship develops.

What do people think of my ideas? and What do you think Jean should do when she returns?

Would Jean really go for wolvie?  This just seems so fanfictiony.

Sorry, but I think most of these are pretty bad ideas.

@time: Why did Emma Frost swear revenge?   

 The end of Phoenix WarSong

2 things I like Beast with the Avengers because it was true to his character to leave the Xmen when they stopped being about hope (the concept not the character) and the second thing I don't really like the idea of Wolverine and Jean together partly because quite frankly she's too good for him 

heres what jean should do 
 

1. Tell Cyke hes a fool , Tell Wolverine she doenst approve of x-force
2. Be angry that Cable was killed
   
3. Befriend Hope
   
4. Join Wolverines xmen team
5. Be depowered to low level phoneix abilties ( pre dark phoenix) tops
   

1. Lose badly to emma
 2. Die again.

@time said:
7) Be more hands-on in the battlefield. Jean beating up the Shi'ar assassins was one of my favorite moments, for once we didn't see her as someone who just gestures her opponents away but uses her fists and grit to get by. It makes her more human, more interesting, and it mixes things up. Maybe she could become more physical in order to keep her powers in check. 
 

Jean should just stay single for a while lol why rush her into a relationship? lol 
 
Sorry but as much as i loved the relationship between Scott and Jean. Emma and Scott's is so so so much better.

What do people think of my ideas? and What do you think Jean should do when she returns?

1. Agreed.  2. Doubly agreed.  3. I was thinking establish a new team with Iceman, Beast, Xavier, Storm, Colossus and Shadowcat. Maybe throw in a kid mutant or two. Cyclops, Archangel, Emma and Wolverine are too cut throat for this team.  4. Definitely. There's no point rehashing everything.  5. Disagree. Jean gave her blessing before she died, she could see truth and knew that Emma and Scott didn't act out of malice or anything to Jean. If she's moving on from Scott she needs to move on from Emma too. I do think the Cuckoos and Rachel should want to fight though while Jean and Emma settle them down. Even though the Cuckoos have distanced themselves from Emma they they are still kinda her daughters.  6. I agree with the first part, helping Logan actually be a father to X-23 and Daken. As for Jean and Logan dating, hells no. No rehashing the past.   7. Totally disagree with you here. Jean's history with the Phoenix and such she has no reason to judge Wanda. She needs to help Wanda put her mind back together and maybe reverse M-Day and become close as sisters. Also revert Wanda to even pre-Avengers West Coast status. Able to cause destructive things to happen but not just anything. 8. Definitely no Phoenix powers but she should be the Phoenix in terms of rebuilding and helping every mutant she can. She needs to be the saint of the X-Men and give them an example to aspire to though not leading being a shining example.  I add a 9. She needs to be the end of the Schism but help keep the X-Men and mutants in general on whichever path is best for them. Some of them (Like my team mentioned in point #3) teach mutants, continue to do disaster relief and help people but less focus on fighting. While the others: Cyclops, Warren, Emma, Wolverine, Magneto, Namor and some of the more combat oriented kids are the physical team fighting bad guys. One team stays on Utopia and the other goes back to Westchester.   
 This.

How about never come back and be a dramatic plot point that no one will ever forget.  I think wolverine's good as a lone wolf, and Scott's good with Emma.  Jean's existence would just complicate things.

Sorry, but I think most of these are pretty bad ideas.

Here's what I think should happen: 
 
1) Jean returns and helps the Scarlet Witch reactivate mutants (at least the ones who want it and those who need it, unlike Dani Moonstar who has become more badass since being depowered, imo) 
2) Jean supplants Hope entirely. Let's face it, Hope is an epic-fail as a stand-in Jean. 
3) Jean is cordial to but hardly interested in Scott or Emma, the latter two feeling extremely confused and/or intimidated and unsure of what to do. Jean should be over Scott by now and she did give Emma her blessing, so (sadly) any animosity between them now would make no sense. 
4) She should either join Wolvie's team or berate him for how it functions. 
5) The writers who handle her return should... how can I put this lightly?... RETCON THE CONCEPT OF JEAN AND THE PHOENIX BEING ONE! Let her be less powerful but still formidable. 
6) Use h2h in most of her fights but in a way that doesn't make her seem like a redheaded Psylocke. 
7) Be single, at least for now, and later end up with someone unexpected. Like Spider-Man (like not acutally be) or Namor.  
8) Maybe have her own solo comic about adjusting without the Phoenix and finally being her own person. This comic should also see her reaction over the death of Cable (closest thing she ever had to a son, and whom she raised for about five years from birth) and her entire family. 
9) Showcase her friendship with many of her friends, especially Storm (she should express delight upon knowledge of Storm's marriage and regret on not being able to be main of honor) and Wolverine (NO romance, but I like the friendship and flirtation between them, theres no reason it should end) and have some badass team up with the two as well as others like the Invisible Woman and Rachel.

10) If Emma is still seeking revenge, let Emma fight Jean (unaware that her connection with the Phoenix is over) and be a very good fight. I don't want Jean to win easily, but would really like to see her really smack down Emma without the Phoenix. The fight should be more h2h than anything (if Emma shifts diamond, Jean unleashes tk can owns her).  
11) Have some epic battles against the likes of Magneto or Madelyne or someone.

I would want to see 6 and 7.

I hope they retcon out her and the Phoenix being one in the same being if she does return. (If they already haven't).

Hey John, do  you have any ideas, are you in denial that Jean will return. When she does, watch comics get better. 

When Jean comes back (I hope soon) she must to:
 
1) Kick Cyclops´ crotch because he does not know what means loyalty
 
2) Punish Emma Frost

The only thing she should do when she returns is have a three way with Scott and Emma.

Whatever she does, I hope that we're not going to get another Dark Phoenix-related story arc for at least for a few decades. I think that aspect of her character has already been explored enough. I'd like to see her to either control the Phoenix force completely, or to somehow lose it altogether. I wouldn't like to see her return only to have another round with the Dark Phoenix within her.

I'd actually like her to go solo for a while. It would be interesting if she returned right after the Schism divide and decided not to choose a side. She's so much more powerful than other mutants that she doesn't need a team. 
 
I also think that she should be romantically done with Scott. I'm not sure whether I'm keen on getting me some Wolverine/Jean because I kind of like it how Wolverine never makes it with a woman, but I'd like to see their mutual attraction being somehow addressed. I think I'd actually rather see her play the field for a while because she's been associated with these two characters for so long that it would be much more interesting if she went for someone entirely new instead of Scott or Wolverine.

Allow me to get real for a moment... As we all know Jeans character has been a plot device for a long amount of time, not just this but her character has been in development "limbo" for even longer. Now will Jean be brought back to life? Yes, let's face it, not only is she the Phoenix but this is Marvel we're talking about(she could have no powers and I guarantee you marvel would find a way to bring her back). Should she be brought back? Sure I see no reason not to, AS LONG AS SHE'S KEPT ALIVE and not used as a plot device. Should she go back to Scott? HELLS NO, they're better off separate and that's really all there is to it. Should she fight Emma? No, because honestly I'm sure that after being dead for how many years, and dying how many times, that Jean would realize what's IMPORTANT to her, and I'm sure that she'd realize that neither Cyke nor Emma are that important when she only has so much time to live for herself. THAT being said if Emma still wants to go at it then by all means open up a can of Phoenix on her ass, if not move on. Should she date Wolverine? This ones kinda hard but I'm gonna say no(it just feels more like retaliation against Scott and Emma than actual affection IMO) But this is just my opinion............

A couple of things I would like to see:

• Control the Phoenix Force so she remains apart from it (as Jean Grey) and not so mentally unstable.
• Rock that wicked White and Gold costume that she briefly assumed during Endsong.
• Not date either Scott or Logan, but still stay close with Logan. If there's anyone who could benefit from her guidance, it's him. After all, he did have to go through the process of repeat-murder her.
• Definitely form a close bond with Hope; paradox, anyone?
• Perhaps not be a part of the X-Men? Maybe she needs to regather her sanity and take it easy before she does anything with too much responsibility

They should make her return and then get back with Scott. Have them romantically involved for about 30 years then have them get married for about 20. Then have Professor X get shot and in comes Mephisto who says that he can save X's life but in return they have to forget they ever met. Wait...no that'll never work

Thing #1 that I would like to see.  
 
Her die. Just get it out of the way. We know it's gonna happen eventually anyways. Other than that I suppose these would suffice.

As for a love interest, it would be great if it was someone outside of the X-Men.

Although I'd like her not to have PF at all.

Hah, glad to see someone agrees about the White and Gold costume. I love that outfit. Though I am curious, why don't you want her to have the Phoenix Force? Overused, you think?

I'm a fan of it as well :)

Not only overused, but it's just such a plot device. Her power level has to constantly be nerfed through stupid reasons when she has it because otherwise the X-Men are irrelevant as she's a complete team-buster herself.

It always leads to her going crazy and sacrificing herself. Which in turn leads to her resurrection.

I just think it's boring. When they bring Jean back, I want to read emotionally fueled stories about her. About what it was like for her to cope with that much power. About how she's getting over Scott. I want to see her form some sort of relationship with Hope (NOT A CLONE/REINCARNATION THING) because I think it would add an interesting dynamic to what she and Emma have, as Emma is NOT fond of Hope at all.

Conversely, if they do give her the PF, I want to see her not on the X-Men, as you already pointed out. Maybe take some time away from them and join a Cosmic team, which would be much better suited to the PF.

If she comes back and uses the white and gold costume for a while she should pair up with Iron Fist. His white and gold costume he got from Agamotto is kickin'.

Agamotto wanted his eye back, he possessed Iron Fist to get it for him and brought him to his dimension. Once there though Iron Fist shouldn't have survived but he did and made his way back. When he got back he had his new white and gold outfit. It may have just been that going into another dimension altered his clothes but flipping through an Iron Man 2.0 with War Machine and the Immortal Weapons (including Iron Fist) I think it said something about Iron Fist being connected to Agamotto now.
 
As for Jean's white and gold outfit it was her ultimate form as the White Phoenix at the end of Warsong....or Endsong. Whichever was latest.

Nah he's not the Sorcerer Supreme, but he is Agamotto's champion or something.
