Solid point, but it was editorial edict (Jim Shooter's, I believe) that decided Phoenix should die, not the writers' decision. And in the original story, Jean was going to have her powers completely removed, not dampened -- kin, somewhat, to having one's eyes put out.
Okay, I stand corrected. The EDITORS put on the brakes and said "Whoa!" The point is, somebody should've done the same here.
Another thing that I thought was weird that I don't think anyone else has mentioned. Why is Chameleon Boy using wings to fly and why is he carrying Star Boy when they both have flight rings? Star Boy is shown flying on his own later so he didn't forget his or anything. It seems to me that taking Cham out of the fight by playing chauffeur to SB when they're woefully outnumbered is highly illogical, Captain.
Also, Star Boy later says "All of you who can fly under your own power, do so . . ." Are not Cham and Ultra Boy (and possibly Light Lass) the only members who can fly under their own power? And if U Boy did so, he'd be unable to use his other powers and their most powerful member would be all but useless in the fight.
