Jean’s energy sans-Phoenix in the comics is consistently pink.







In the actual comics Jean herself probably wasn’t depicted with actual flames on panel until Grant Morrison’s run when he retconned her to being an avatar of the Phoenix as opposed to being the Phoenix (the original story), or being replaced by the Phoenix (the 1986 Fantastic Four retcon). This was a specific plot point. And even this was short lived because she died soon after.




And even with Phoenix, it’s the statues, fan art and modern reinterpretations of Phoenix that give her fire. If you type in “marvel Phoenix” on google you’ll see tons of flame images because all of the art will be exactly that: fan art and modern interpretations, barely any actual comic panels of accurate Jean.

Look at the actual 1979/1980 Dark Phoenix Saga and try to find Phoenix using any actual fire. She doesn’t. It’s all pink or yellow energy. No flames. Don’t take my word for it, the actual comics show it.

Yes you are. However, you are also correct. As a fellow X-nerd, I can appreciate that.

Oh come on, Jean, not again! Yes, you are warmly attractive, but I need some rest. Plus, your flames/fire thing sucks!
As Peedi said, it's not even accurate...

So in the statue she's standing in her own psionic flames while real flames shoot out of her neck? the regular statue itself looks fine, I'm just not a fan of the base or ex

I didn’t at first but it grew on me. It’s reminiscent of the Jim Lee costume while being its own thing so I dig it now. It looks good in the image I posted above.

I think part of the problem (aside from giving a 90s inspired Jean any kind of Phoenix flames because that version of Jean was separate from the Phoenix) is that the pink energy is sculpted to look like flames instead of some other form...Bowen handled it well.

Personally, I love everything about the collector piece, no interest in the exclusive.

But check out the seams on this piece, and then look at the new red/blue comic costume. This could very easily be altered to fit her new comic look.

I'm half-tempted to get two, one of them being the exclusive, and doing a custom repaint. A red and deep blue costume would also compliment the fire on her neck and shoulders much more. They've done it with Jean before, so maybe this plan is already it the works.
