The Most Ludicrously Underwhelming Use Of Marvel Girl's Powers--Chapter 2

Professor X has invented a new, nearly unstoppable robot as an "ultimate test" for the X-Men:



"Excellent, Jean! You brought the blanket to us in record time!" Which implies that she regularly snatched blankets from Xavier's lap, and Cyclops timed her.

If you consult older editions of the Guinness Book Of World Records, you will see that Jean Grey did indeed hold the unchallenged record for "Fastest Blanket Bringing" for many years.

    Ha, that Jean is such a good girl!

    If I had TK I'd throw dogdirt at my enemies. How they would cower in fear.

    I love the old school X-Men uniforms. Like all school uniforms they make everyone who wears them look dorky.

    Little-known fact: Before Jean was recruited by Professor X, she used to hang out with Linus.

    Bill-I hag always criticized those costumes as among Kirby's worst creations...the concept makes sense as school uniforms, but they're so damn ugly!!

    Heck, back then, Jean was arguably the most successful member of the team. There's at least two more occasions where the villain gets defeated by flinging their cape over their head.
