* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: The exact nature of her bond with the Phoenix Force. In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', the Phoenix was shown as Jean's latent true Mutant power, and was shown surfacing at crucial moments throughout the film. After she sacrifices herself to save the X-Men from the resulting flood by Alkali Base's destruction, Xavier states the Phoenix is a split personality representing the raw primality of her psychic power, which he feared would prove dangerous to the world at large, which it ultimately proves to be, albeit out of anger of Xavier's interference.

*** She's scared of her telepathic power, and Xavier himself had struggled with his psychic abilities as a child (as mentioned in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''), so he relates more strongly to Jean's situation than the difficulties the other young mutants have faced. They have a very profound surrogate father-daughter bond because they are the only ones who can fully understand what it's like to be a telepath and the troubles that come with their mutant gift.
---->'''Jean''': ''(upset)'' You don't know what it's like to be afraid to shut your eyes, to be trapped inside your own head.\\
'''Charles''': Oh, I think I do. It wasn't so long ago that I was plagued by voices myself. All their suffering, all their pain, their secrets.
*** She and Scott are able to relate to each other when their other classmates look down on them because of the uncontrollable nature of their powers, and gradually, their friendship deepens. Throughout the movie, Jean is emotionally supportive to the newcomer Scott, which mirrors their psychic rapport in the comics.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: When the Phoenix uses her power in ''Last Stand'', her eyes become pitch black.
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:She greets Logan in the AlternateTimeline of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.]]
* ColorCodedCharacters: While not in her X-Men uniform, she often likes to dress in red clothing in the original trilogy.
* CompositeCharacter: After Beast was removed from the script for ''Film/XMen1'' due to budgetary concerns, elements of his character were grafted onto her. Namely, she takes his place as the team's medical and scientific expert, and scenes written for Beast ended up being given to her.
* CosmicRetcon: [[spoiler:She is alive in the 2020s at the end of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', thanks to the timeline alterations.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:When the Phoenix gets unleashed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Apocalypse has to say goodbye to his WorldDomination.]]
* DaddysGirl: A surrogate variation occurs between her and Professor X in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', who is her ParentalSubstitute. Jean is shunned by her classmates because they're afraid of her inability to fully control her powers, and Xavier, who knows all too well the isolation that telepathy can bring, is her steadfast provider of emotional support. She thus falls under "The third possible character is the socially awkward one who gets understanding and encouragement from her father" category. Before Scott's arrival, Charles is the only person at the school whom Jean feels close to, and Xavier is more attentive towards her compared to the other young mutants under his care, which parallels how he had favoured Hank over the other teenage recruits in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' because he and [=McCoy=] shared more in common. Because Jean admires her father figure, she emulates some of his behaviour (see the JuniorCounterpart entry).
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: Once an entire lake falls on her at the end of ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', she gets stronger and more dangerous as shown in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.

* DudeMagnet: Scott and Logan are in love with her in the original trilogy.
* EmotionalPowers: Because of her insecurities in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she finds it exceedingly taxing to deal with her telepathy [[spoiler:and her increasingly unstable "dark power." With the Professor's guidance and encouragement, however, she learns to let go of her apprehension at a critical moment during the climax, and Jean's newfound assertiveness enables her to achieve total dominion over the Phoenix.]]

** She accomplishes this in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', when the Blackbird is frozen at Alkali Lake with the dam about to burst in mere minutes, she steps off the jet and uses her now heightened telekinesis to break the ice and allow the jet to lift off, at the same time psychically restraining her teammates to keep them from stopping her. [[spoiler:She frees the jet seconds before she is seemingly crushed beneath tons of rushing water.]]
** Having survived this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' but also becoming [[spoiler:the Phoenix]], she twice regains her sanity long enough to beg [[spoiler:Logan/Wolverine to kill her]] so she won't kill anyone else. He finally relents at the movie's climax and [[spoiler:impales her on his claws.]]
* HiddenDepths: Archery is her hobby, she practices it in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.

* JediMindTrick: Is able to trick the mind of her observes so they can't look at her or anyone she shields.
* JuniorCounterpart: In certain respects, she's a younger female version of her father figure Charles in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. She's a NiceGirl with a FriendlessBackground who is tormented by her telepathy because she has difficulty blocking out the thoughts of others, and she suffers from BadDreams, which makes the two of them BirdsOfAFeather. Jean becomes a source of emotional support to Scott after [[spoiler:his brother dies]], which mirrors how Xavier comforts her when she's distressed. Jean is compassionate towards a dehumanized Wolverine even after she had witnessed him [[spoiler:butcher ''all'' of Stryker's soldiers]], just as Charles is forgiving of Magneto's mass murder because he can still sense the goodness in his old friend. Jean adopts the PstandardPsychicPstance that her mentor no longer uses, which reinforces the idea that she's a surrogate variant of DaddysGirl (see the trope's entry).

* KillTheOnesYouLove: [[spoiler:Scott Summers and Professor X in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.]]

* PstandardPsychicPstance: She performs this gesture when she uses her telepathy. She must have learned it from Xavier.

** In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', when Apocalypse awakens, she experiences a "nightmare" about the end of the world.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover:
** The Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. Its awakening destroys her sanity, and because it is a PersonOfMassDestruction.
** Averted in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''; [[spoiler:she is able to awaken the Phoenix without having her mind eroded, likely thanks to embracing it herself (rather than being forced to receive it post-mortem)]].
* StatuesqueStunner:
** In quite an amusing way, since the comics Jean is a measly 5'6", but Creator/FamkeJanssen is tall enough to surpass James Marsden (leading to [[ScullyBox some on-screen trickery to hide the fact]]).
** Creator/SophieTurner is 5'9", so this trope is also in play for the adolescent version of the character.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: [[spoiler:Her irises turn fiery orange when she summons the Phoenix Force.]]
* TeamMom: For X-Men, especially to the students. Best shown in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
* {{Telepathy}}: Almost to Xavier's levels.
* TimeShiftedActor: Played by three different actresses depending on the character's age.
* WalkingWasteland: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', the Phoenix is capable of projecting an aura of psychokinetic energy that literally disintegrates anything and any'''one''' caught in it. This is quite graphically shown during her VillainousBreakdown towards the film's climax, where she starts unconsciously vaporizing dozens of humans and mutants as part of her rampage.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: In her manifestation as the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. Although it is explained that she was already mentally unstable as a girl and her massive powers had to be reduced for her own good and that of everyone around her by putting mental blocks into her psyche. When these were removed, she started killing people with her mind.[[note]](This is actually closer to the original Phoenix story than the later comic and adaptation stories that portray Jean as having been TouchedByVorlons; see the Comic Books section above.)[[/note]]

* WomanScorned: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', after being rescued by the X-Men, she tries to sex Wolverine up. He refuses. Cue SuperpoweredEvilSide taking over.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:A-G]]
* ActionGirl: Fights both up close and [[MindOverMatter at a distance]].
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She flirts with the Creator/JamesDean-esque Logan in the original timeline.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: In ''Apocalypse'', the other students at the school are terrified of her because whenever she has a nightmare, the entire mansion shakes.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Jean, [[spoiler:or actually her superpowered side Phoenix, is the only mutant on the good side who is a match for Apocalypse, and she does the work of finishing him. Granted, the villain was being tanked by several other powerful mutants at the same time, but the deed is still impressive considering that she vaporizes him without an undue amount of effort.]]
* AnimalBattleAura: [[spoiler:When she releases her full power, she gains a fiery aura in the shape of a bird of prey, with which she immolates Apocalypse]].
* AxCrazy: As the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* BadassTeacher: She is one of the Xavier Institute's finest instructors in the original trilogy.
* BadDreams: She has one when Apocalypse awakens, and it's not the first (Xavier mentions to Hank that her nightmares are different this time). This is the main reason why the rest of the students are afraid of her; she shakes the entire mansion when she's having a nightmare.
* BerserkButton: When dealing with the Phoenix in ''Last Stand'', the least you can do is not appear to be manipulating her. [[spoiler: She disintegrated Professor Xavier in a fit of TranquilFury]] when she thought he was trying to control her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she's very fearful about [[spoiler:the "fire" growing within her]] and the harm it can cause, but when Charles is [[spoiler:on the threshold of death's door because of Apocalypse's mental assault, she releases it in all of its glory to rescue her father figure. The NighInvulnerable En Sabah Nur is reduced to ashes by the Phoenix's wrath.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Rescues Charles from Apocalypse's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and proceeds to unleash Phoenix to completely obliterate the latter.]]
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
*** She's scared of her telepathic power, and Xavier himself had struggled with his psychic abilities as a child (as mentioned in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''), so he relates more strongly to Jean's situation than the difficulties the other young mutants have faced. They have a very profound surrogate father-daughter bond because they are the only ones who can fully understand what it's like to be a telepath and the troubles that come with their mutant gift.
---->'''Jean''': ''(upset)'' You don't know what it's like to be afraid to shut your eyes, to be trapped inside your own head.\\
'''Charles''': Oh, I think I do. It wasn't so long ago that I was plagued by voices myself. All their suffering, all their pain, their secrets.
*** She and Scott are able to relate to each other when their other classmates look down on them because of the uncontrollable nature of their powers, and gradually, their friendship deepens. Throughout the movie, Jean is emotionally supportive to the newcomer Scott, which mirrors their psychic rapport in the comics.
