jean's personality is cheerful, slightly tomboyish, quick-tempered, with a sort-of jealous streak and some insecurity issues that would appear later in the series. she possesses telekinesis and telepathy, initially only being able to move objects with her hand. she can remote-view others, be in psychic rapport with others and can tell if another speaks the truth. later on, her telekinetic abilities greatly strengthened and increased to the extent that she can now move multiple objects as heavy as a helicopter without effort and create psionic blasts that can render a person unconscious within a few seconds. she is capable of flight at high altitudes, and with intense concentration can divert the water flowing from a dam while in flight. at the start of the series, she dated popular but unpleasant football player duncan matthews while struggling with growing and strengthening love feelings for her longtime friend and teammate scott summers. in the third season, jean finally severed ties with duncan and began a strong and close romantic relationship with scott after saving scott from nearly being murdered by mystique.
