What exactly are Phoenix's power divorced from Jean?
Since originally Phoenix was simply a mutant exposed to cosmic radiation, all of Phoenix's powers were simply Marvel Girl's, but at a much higher power level. They were a supercharged telekinesis and to a lesser extent telepathy, but they were essentially the same as Jean's before.
I don't remember anything being substantially different, although by the time of Dark Phoenix her TK's manipulation of matter seemed to spill over into a manipulation of energy as well.
When Jean Grey returned from the dead, the retcon of the "Phoenix Force" was established, and this was essentially transferred to Rachel Summers who again simply repeated Jean Grey's own initial power set which was later amplified as well.
But now we have Phoenix possessing Lilandra who previously did not possess any superpowers, but still seems to have (Copy) Jean's powers when she was the Phoenix.
So is Lil-Phoenix's power simply a holdover from the Jean incarnation of Phoenix? Or is it simply more like the "power cosmic" style of Galactus and his heralds?
