The Most Ludicrously Underwhelming Uses of Marvel Girl's Powers--Chapter 7

The most powerful telekinetic in the universe:

Now, I've got to be fair. While using a stick to trip a perp isn't particularly overwhelming, it did get the job done: stopping the mercenary The Ogre from kidnapping Professor X while causing minimal risk to the professor's well being. So, good job, Jean.

Until the very next page:

So, while bound, and without using any mutant powers, Charles Xavier also manages to trip the dreaded Ogre.

Which means: Jean Grey is precisely as powerful as a hog-tied, powerless paraplegic.

(It also means the Ogre really is a bit of a puss, too...)

Oh, Jean...

From X-Men #28 (1967)

  1. Wonderful stuff.

    If I were a rubbish telekinetic, I'd always have hovering doggy-do to hand. Watch Magneto cower!
