>>77362707See, if Bendis wasn't as influential as he was, I'd actually hope for this as an interesting story - teen Jean, without years of Xavier's teaching and lessons, gets into progressively more dangerous and over-the-top situations, rapidly unlocking her powers, and eventually falls off the slippery slope.
Make her a sympathetic villain, like Magneto, and you have a ton of story potential.
Easy fix to the inevitable paradox issues is to simply reveal that Beast is a dumbass and the O5 were from a different timeline all along.
This would make sense and could be interesting. But it goes against BMB's shitty stories, so he'll veto it forever.
