# Powers and Abilities

## Powers

**Empathy:** On many occasions, Jean has shown to have incredibly strong empathic powers that enable her to control, manipulate and alter the feelings, sensations, and emotions of others. It is because of her empathic abilities that the almighty Phoenix Force had chosen her as its rightful human host. In other versions, she had not been shown possessing any types of empathic abilities except for telekinesis and telepathy.

**Telepathy:** Jean is the most notable, powerful and skilled telepath in the entire Marvel Universe. She is an **Omega Level Telepath**, who is able to read thoughts, project and broadcast her own thoughts, as well as interact with, affect and even manipulate the minds of humans and animals with higher order intelligence (such as dolphins, ravens or dogs). The range at which she can perform these feats is greatly increased while she is accessing the Phoenix Force. Since her resurrection,Template:R her range has naturally increased, having demonstrated the ability to link with every mutant mind on Krakoa,Template:R and reach out to all active members of the X-Men around the world.Template:R While in his mind, she was even able to force Nate Grey to experience all the suffering she caused while 'one with the Phoenix'.Template:R During her time in the future, she displayed advanced telepathic skills after being tutored by Kitty Pryde, such as cloaking herself and Scott Summers from even the most powerful of the future X-Mens' telepaths. She was also able to overpower Xorn (her future self), although the latter claimed that she was holding back during the altercation.Template:R However, the magnitude of this achievement is shown by the fact that even the combined might of the Stepford Cuckoos and Emma Frost was insufficient to defeat Xorn.Template:R She was also able to invade the mind of the primordial symbiote God Knull,Template:R and has bypassed the telepathic shielding of Juggernaut's helmet. Her telepathy is of such magnitude that she was also able to easily overpower Nightmare, a powerful psychic demon in his own right.Template:R After her absorption of Psylocke's specialized telepathy, Jean's own telepathic skill and power was increased to a level at which she could create psionic firebirds capable of inflicting mental and physical damage. However, this enhanced telepathy came at the temporary cost of her telekinesis. She has demonstrated the following specialized uses:

* **Telepathic Defense:** She can manifest her telepathy in a number of defensive ways.
	+ **Telepathic Cloak:** She can mask her presence and the use of her abilities from being detected by other psions and Cerebro-type devises. She can extend these defenses to others around her as well. Cloaking via telepathy is not perfect and powerful psis may notice and 'see' through this ability.Template:R
	+ **Cloak Mind:** Ability to rearrange the "mental engrams" of mutants so their distinctive mutant thought patterns cannot be detected by Cerebro-type devises or by other telepaths.
	+ **Psychic Shield:** Ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and the minds of others.Template:R
	+ **Telepathic Illusions:** She can create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring.Template:R Her illusions can also inflect pain on others, making them near flawless. This was later proven when Karnak took 3 days to find a flaw in one of her mindscapes.Template:R
	+ **Telepathic Camouflage:** She can alter the apparent physical appearance of herself and other people by altering the perceptions of those around her. This can go so far as to make other people believe that the camouflaged people are not there (invisible). A limit, if one exists, is only imposed by the number of people she is trying to fool, not the number of people she is camouflaging.Template:RTemplate:RTemplate:R
* **Telepathic Manipulation:** She can manipulate other people's minds easily, achieving a variety of effects.
	+ **Memory Alteration:** She can erase, implant, restore or alter the memory of others.Template:R
	+ **Mind Control:** She can control the thoughts and actions of others.Template:R
		- **Mind Possession:** She can possess the mind of another and use that being's body as her own.Template:R
	+ **Personality Alteration:** She can alter the minds of others by force of will, thus permanently changing their personality partially or entirely.Template:R
	+ **Mental Paralysis:** She can induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.Template:RTemplate:R
	+ **Mental Amnesia:** She can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia.Template:RTemplate:R
	+ **Mind Transferal:** She can transfer both her mind and powers into other host bodies if her own physical body was somehow killed.Template:RTemplate:R
	+ **Heal Trauma:** She has the ability to erase a person's memories and to heal mental trauma through "psychic surgery", as well as the power to stimulate or deaden the pain and pleasure centers in a person's brain.Template:R
	+ **Mental Sedating:** Can telepathically "sedate" her victims so that, if already rendered unconscious, they remain so for as long as she continues to "sedate" them.
	+ **Neural Jumpstart:** She can increase the speed of neural signals in the brain, which could increase another mutant's powers to incredible levels, but the effect was only temporary.Template:RTemplate:R
	+ **Dilate Power:** Ability to place "psychic inhibitors" in the minds of mutant adversaries to prevent them from using their powers.Template:RTemplate:R
	+ ***Mind Link:*** She can bond others' minds allowing them to communicate telepathically between them.Template:R
	+ **Inter-Dimensional Telepathy:** Jean was able to communicate with Cable while he was in the dimension of Otherworld, something Xavier thought was impossible to do.Template:R
* **Psychic Blast:** She can project psychic force bolts which have no physical effects, but which can affect a victim's mind, causing them pain, knocking them unconsciousness or turning the victim "brain-dead".
* **Astral Projection:** She can project her astral form from her body onto the Astral Plane or the physical plane. In the physical plane she can travel in astral form over vast distances. In the astral plane, she can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment. She can communicate with others astrally through her own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others through time.Template:RTemplate:RTemplate:R
* **Temporal Telepathy:** Jean has been shown to be able to read, control and track minds through time, allowing her to affect events in the past, as well as sending her consciousness as well as Wolverine's through time.Template:R
* **Mental Detection:** She can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of herself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.Template:R

**Telekinesis:** Projection of psychokinetic energy enables her to levitate objects, propel or manipulate them however she wishes, lift herself and move through the air to simulate flight, stimulate individual molecules to create heat, generate concussive force as blasts or bursts, and create protective shields. While she has access to the Phoenix Force, she is able to manipulate matter and energy on a sub-atomic scale using her telekinesis. She can even change her Phoenix clothes into a set of street clothes and lift multiple heavy objects at once without having any difficulties.

* **Psychic Firebird:** She can manifest her telekinesis as a psychic firebird, whose claws could inflict both physical and mental damage.Template:RTemplate:R
* **Force Field:** She can create a telekinetic field to either shield her and her teammates or use it to lift multiple heavy objects at her enemy.
* **Tactile Telekinesis:** She has the power to utilize a personal force field of telekinetic energy.
* **Matter Transmutation:** She can manipulate and transmute matter on a sub-atomic level (e.g., turning wood into gold, plant into crystal, and cause physical bodies to disintegrate by altering their molecular structure, etc).Template:R
* **Telekinetic Weapons:** She can create psionic weapons and constructs out of psychic energy that damage a target either physically, mentally or both in some point.Template:R The versatility of this ability was greatly enhanced after training with Psylocke.Template:R

**Temporal Telekinesis:** Jean has been able to use her telekinetic abilities through time by projecting her astral form in different points in the timestream.Template:R

**Psychic Siphoning:** Jean is able to drain others' psychic energy to enhance her psionic powers. The boost she can provide to herself depends on the psychic energy within her enemies, explaining the fact that she is rarely seen using this power. The greatest feat she has performed after using this ability was when she knocked Galactus out with a blast of psychic energy stolen from him, the Phoenix, Terrax, and an unknown alien species.Template:R She also used this ability to reconstruct her body after being consumed by a Poison, and to kill the Poison Queen.Template:R

* **Telekinetic Aura:** She can surround her body with psychic energy to protect herself from harm. She survived a high-speed collision from Gladiator, which would have normally resulted with her death.Template:R
* **Psychic Resistance:** She can protect herself from other telepaths by draining the psychic energy that they normally use.Template:R This also prevents her psyche from complete erasure after the Poisons took her over.Template:R
* **Psychic Entity Physiology:** Jean manages to ascend her physical body to become a being of pure psionic force, similar to Nate Grey from the age of Apocalypse.Template:R In this form she is a material energy being who could regain her physical form even after having been consumed by a Poison, using this feature to break free of her corporeal prison and reconstruct her physical body from scratch.Template:R
* **Cosmic-Level Telekinetic Blast:** She can create a blast of psychic energy powerful enough to affect Cosmic Beings as Galactus.
* **Psionic Bolt Generation:** She can transform psychic energy into bolts of energy.Template:R
* **Psychic Firebird:** She can manifest her telekinesis as a firebird made of psychic energy.Template:R

**Self Resurrection:** Jean has been able to resurrect herself by either using her psychic powers or through her sheer force of will. Jean has been able to resurrect herself by reconstructing her body out of psionic energy after it was vaporized.Template:R Jean was even able to fully resurrect herself after being clinically dead and independent of the Phoenix Force after encasing herself in a glacier of ice.Template:R
