In the OG TAS series, telepaths were made to be quite underpowered.
The stuff Jean's able to do in '97 does a way better job showcasing what she's always
been
able to do.
Juggernaut got off easy in that episode's case from the TAS. Even she says it'll wear off (and upon his next appearance, Cain's back to his old antics).
You could practically feel his rage and hurt bubbling up, especially when it comes to feeling unloved. What struck me the most was how no one even thought about talking to Professor X about it. I mean, this isn't just some tall tale he's spinning; it's his genuine perception of their messed-up family dynamic. It's like everyone's just brushing it under the rug, but we need to acknowledge the deeper issues here. They like the Professor because he was the smart one and didn't like Juggernaut. And you know Professor X was all about it.
Dude was seconds away from wiping out the memories of his X-men for space love.
