Professor X is the most powerful mutant from the x-men series.

Defense 1. Jean is more powerful with only telepathy My opponent makes a simply appeal to authority without providing any analysis. How can we know for sure the biggest fan is a legitimate source? He appeals to the populous because ultimately it is they who treat it as such. Before I begin my actual defense I would like to point out that the reader can only vote on the evidence presented within the context of this debate. They are not allowed to vote based on their previous biases or knowledge. I clearly showed the extent of Jean-Grey's powers are at least equal to Xavier's and that as time progresses, her powers surpass Xavier's. Jean-Grey has the ability to mentally cause physical damage. There is no evidence presented that Xavier can do the same. Jean-Grey has the ability to communicate with animals, there is no evidence presented that Xavier can do the same. Furthermore, Jean-Grey's telekinesis allows her to manipulate the matter around Charles Xavier. If caught unaware, metal will render his telepathy useless. Defense 1. As I stated above, Jean-Grey is more of an Avatar rather than a vessel. My opponent misquotes me the full text is "Whether or not Jean Grey is just a vessel is irrelevant. " In no way shape or form did I conclusively say Jean-Grey is just a vessel. I defined Jean-Grey as 2 psyche's in one body and mind (two which is one). Jean-Grey cannot simply remove the Phoenix Force from her without causing tremendous damage to her psyche and well being. My opponent cannot be so rash in saying the Phoenix Force should be irrelevant when it is quite literally half of Jean-Grey's identity. I mean, I'm definitely stronger than my opponent if we only consider half of his body. This is what my opponent is doing here, limiting Jean-Grey to half her psyche. The Phoenix Force is part of her identity. There is no reason to disallow it. Defense 2. My opponent had the Burden to prove Jean-Grey was not human. They have not brought up any "genetic" evidence which show Jean is non-human, even though we have a geneticist in the picture (Charles Xavier). Simply put, this is an unsubstantiated claim which is not supported by any conclusive comic book evidence. Simply because she does not believe she is human, does not mean she is not human. She could easily be wrong. There is no evidence backing this claim. Defense 3. My opponent completely strawman's my position here. I never defined Jean-Grey in that way. I merely said her being a vessel is irrelevant. The Phoenix Force is part of Jean's identity just as telepathy is part of Xavier's identity. Jean-Grey would be less without the Phoenix Force, Xavier would be less without telepathy. You cannot take away a vital piece of the character otherwise, it is not the same character. My opponent cannot argue we are debating about two characters and then avoid the fundamental piece of one of the two. The Phoenix Force is what makes Jean-Grey, Jean-Grey. To conclude, the Phoenix Force is a fundamental part of Jean-Grey's identity and character. My opponent has provided no evidence that Jean-Grey is not human. My opponent has not refuted my argument that Jean-Grey and the Phoenix Force are "two in one. " Two separate beings in one body. Constituting one mutant, with two psyches. Thank you.
