Agree, I would prefer a regular villain, because Jean Grey is very distracting. Like, do mutants exist in this universe already? (Ms. Marvel kinda implied that) Where is Magneto? What of Charles?

Looked like she was going upstate? Xavier School is upstate right?

It would be an interesting idea to me if the blip is what activated the rapid proliferation of the X-gene in 19999 instead of atomic weapons like in 616

I'm going with some type of radiation from the Chitauri invasion back in the Battle of New York. The MCU is four years ahead of our time due to the time jump, so the Battle of New York happened about 18 years ago their time. If you assume Sara was 17 and Jean 16, that timing could work.

I imagine that Jean paralyzing half the city is going to be the big in-universe reveal of mutantkind (and left a poor first impression), whereas previously they were around but mostly as a subset of broader superhumans.

I mean, they don't know it was a mutant specifically. Seems like Peter and Frank agreed to keep everything hush-hush.

So unless Jean gets outed as a mutant specifically, she's just another enhanced person in a long list of enhanced people in the MCU.

I imagine people will want explanations, though. And when the government rummages through Damage Control's data, they may decide to reveal she was a mutant.
