Jean comes in a very close second to Storm as the most indispensable mutant 
in the game. Both have the best party-wide shields in the game (reducing 
all types of damage for all members of the team), both can fly, move 
distant objects, add bonus damage to melee attacks and have devastating 
mutant attacks. Storm's ability to weld metal and her Leadership skill put 
her just slightly ahead of Jean for overall usefulness.

While Jean's TK power can be fun to play with, by far her most useful 
attack is Psychic Shout. You will also want to maximize TK Shield in order 
to provide party-wide damage reduction. Having both TK Armor and Blizzard 
Shield available means you can either mix-and-match X-Men better, or use 
them both and have 100 points of all-purpose damage reduction. With both 
shields in place, your X-Men will never take any damage.

Telekinetic Combat is necessary to increase the effectiveness of Psychic 
Shout. You will want at least three levels of Flight for the ability to 
pick up allies. Early in the game you may want one or two levels of Psionic 
Strike, but you can ignore it the rest of the way. At least one level of 
Mutant Mastery wouldn't hurt. Ignore Critical Strike and Toughness.

Maximize Psychic Shout and TK Shield. Buy Phoenix Force when it becomes 
available. Maximize the TK Combat skill and buy at least five levels of 
Telekinesis. Next to Storm, Jean will be the most effective X-Man on any 
team.
