X-Men Film Series General Discussion Thread

There's the explosion feat from the first film, but IIRC, there's problems that make it difficult to calc an accurate yield
 
Maybe I'll start working on a rework for Pre-Retcon Jean Grey, if nobody is already doing it, do the novelizations have something interesting about her?
The Last Stand novel has a lot of stuff you'll wanna check out
 
I might be wrong but based on some of the descriptions of Jean's power in The Last Stand's novelization, we may get another OP FOX Marvel page
 
Should Jean have two keys?
So about this, should Jean have two keys (one for each personality, her and the Phoenix), something like "9-A+ with Telekinesis, 7-C at peak", or just 7-C is fine?

Sure, although I don't know if I'm interested enough to read the whole novelization

You probably wouldn't have to read the whole thing, just the parts where Jean's relevant. Also I think we could decide the key and rating situation after we gather more stuff for her page
 
Reading this completely out of context makes it seem like Jean is Tier 1

The novelization abuses the flowery language
The passion was rising in her, glorious and hungry; the more she drew on her power, the more there was for her to claim, increasingly desperate to be unleashed. It was a song more ageless than the stars, dating from the moment of their birth, when Creation came into being as an inconceivable outrush of matter and energy. Water turned incandescent at her touch, the ground at her feet fused instantly to trinitite glass, as if seared by the breath of the sun itself. Stellar prominences danced in her eyes, over her skin, filling her with a yearning as inexpressible as it was unfulfilled.
 
Wtf is this
Jean was clearly shredding the boundaries between states of reality and possibly even
dimensions, and Kitty's phasing power gave her exceptional insight into what happened on a quantum level under such circumstances.
Jean was in a mood to show off, so she'd tried the much harder route of binding the molecular structure of the water more tightly together, creating such surface tension that it had behaved more like a solid than a liquid, but without crystallizing into ice. [...] As she had bored in on the drop that caught her attention, it quickly separated into component molecules, to atoms of hydrogen and oxygen and from there to agglomerations of charms and quarks, muons and gluons. [...] She'd allowed herself to become so caught up in exploring the subatomic quantum world within Ororo's raindrop that her natural psi-screens had slipped loose from her control. Like a single loose thread unraveling an entire tapestry, her telepathic window on the world around her had become ever more porous.
The emotions crashing against her then were as fascinating as the quantum microverse. By the time she had realized how far she'd gone, she couldn't tear her inner eyes away, and she didn't want to.
 
Magneto is also OP
He brought his thoughts back to the business. He couldn't affect the fabric of the truck directly, and suspected that the armored shell would withstand any modification he might make to the escort vehicles which were made of steel-to use them to breach the walls. He permitted himself a smile. Did they truly think him such a simpleton? Did they think that in the decades his powers had been active he hadn't devoted a substantial portion of his life to researching all there was to know about the nature and properties of magnetism, one of the four fundamental forces of Creation itself? He attacked the truck directly, but on a subatomic level, refining his perceptions to the point where the world was no longer composed of tangible, readily identifiable objects, but instead flash points of energy, lines of force. It wasn't easy, and here he cursed the ravages of time, wishing he'd had such a level of insight at an age when he'd been hale enough to utilize it properly. A slight reshuffle of the alignment of atoms within a molecule, molecules within a lattice, and presto! What had been unbreachable was now as brittle as rice paper.
 
I think the best AP feats are these, Jean casually shattering an entire mountain and tanking that energy, her being compared to a thermonuclear blast, and her eventually destroying the world. If we take all the statements as literal Jean would range from 4-C to 3-A
There is a common feat for destroying mountains tho
 
Also it goes without saying, her Last Stand stuff would require a new key
 
Mountain feat
He hadn't seen Scott die, but he could guess what happened. She amplified his optic blasts, so much that he damn near shattered an entire mountain, but all that really did was complete the energy loop back to her. Blasting at her actually made her stronger, and meanwhile Scott had no defense against the discorporation process.
Thermonuclear blast feat
The buildings were going, and it came to him that he was watching in slow motion the awful and absolute annihilation that occurred at ground zero of a thermonuclear blast.
World destruction feat
"What's she doing?"
"Discorporating the planet," was the reply. "Stripping existence around her down to its primal component states."

Logan didn't watch, didn't much care; with his powers gone, Magneto was significantly neutered as a threat. If Logan needed to find him, he'd do so.
Assuming the world survived.
Random stuff
The ground was coming apart. It wasn't a case of rock being shattered to dust and the dust dissolving, she was shredding the component molecules, manipulating the states of existence so that what was solid and opaque one instant became utterly transparent the next, allowing him to see straight down to the core of the world. The patches of earth became utterly nonexistent after that
Quantum/Reality/Dimensional Manipulation
Jean was clearly shredding the boundaries between states of reality and possibly even
dimensions, and Kitty's phasing power gave her exceptional insight into what happened on a quantum level under such circumstances.

She'd allowed herself to become so caught up in exploring the subatomic quantum world within Ororo's raindrop that her natural psi-screens had slipped loose from her control.

The emotions crashing against her then were as fascinating as the quantum microverse.
Space-Time Manipulation?
Twenty meters away, bursts of power fell from Jean with increasing strength and frequency, creating what could only be described as tears in the fabric of the universe. Magneto, whose training and research in the fields of subatomic physics were rivaled only by his erstwhile ability to manipulate the forces found there, shook his head in wonderment and utter weariness. He was spent in soul, far more than he ever had been in the flesh, more so even than at Auschwitz.
 
Wolverine stuff
His insides churned as Logan turned back to face Jean. He knew that he was being bombarded by lethal levels of radiation. Wasn't on purpose, he knew that as well, she was broadcasting energies like a star coming into being.

[...] The patches of earth became utterly nonexistent after that, forcing him to progress in hopscotch fashion, following his instincts, which in turn followed cues he grew increasingly certain came from Jean herself, towards his goal.

Jean turned to him and his own molecules began discorporating, his skin literally (painlessly, thank God) boiling away. The adamantium was partly what saved him, because it possessed the tightest molecular binding of any substance conceivable. Given time and will, she could deconstruct it the way she was shredding everything else, but right now her mind was focused on greater things.

The metal provided an anchor for his physical being and at the same time, the outrush of power from her acted as an amplifier for his own abilities.

[...] The harder she hit him, the more efficiently his body healed. She couldn't kill him, only make him stronger.

[...] He went blind as his eyes melted, could see again an instant later, the process speeding up to such an extent that obliteration and reconstruction became virtually instantaneous processes. He reached for her, his arm stripped to bare gleaming bone, the great claws visible and quiescent in their housings.

[...] He had no lungs to breathe with, no heart to beat, no blood to pump, no body to sustain. He was little more than artificial frame, the ghost of a nervous system, an agglomeration of self and will within the bunker of his unbreachable skull. Yet he would not fall. He would not stop.

She turned those monster onyx eyes on him and there was no recognition of him to be seen in them.

"You would die for them?" Her voice resounded in his soul. If he'd had a body the effect would have left him gasping, face-to-face at last with the truth of the ancient understanding that angels are as terrible to behold as they are beautiful.

"Not for them."

She started to smile, preening satisfaction, thinking she'd found the flaw in him that would allow her to discard him once and for all.

"For you!"

He didn't merely say that with words. He couldn't. No face, no tongue, no lungs, no anything. She was a telepath. He gave her his thoughts.
