Someone who can draw should definitely try to design a new look for her.  One advice is stay away from anything that covers up her hair or face.  It was fine back then but her neck up should be freed.

Power-wise she should be at her early green phoenix level, powerful but not unbeatable.  Telepathically she should be strong enough where she doesn't need the aid of cerebro anymore.  It always gets destroyed and you can't take it everywhere.


A few people have put their own twist on Jean costumes (hopefully these will inspire someone to take a stab at a new look)

I found these that I liked but of course the cleavage needs to be covered up.  The first one I really like the bottom half.  It would look awesome when she powers up.
The second one I like the design on the chest.  The phoenix emblem could definitely work like that.
