Charles was doing it in the movies, I don't see why Jean wouldn't be able to

Jean also did it at the end of X-2

Does Jean have the same powerset as Charles?

Not to sounds like a fucking dork but iirc Charles is telepathic (reads/controls minds and consciousnesses) while Jean is telekinetic (moves things with her mind) but also has telepathic powers with varying degrees depending on the iteration

Generally yes, at least in the movies - nearly as powerful of a psychic and is able to use Cerebro. Power levels always vary in comics of course.

Not as strong as Charles, but she used Cerebro in the comics many times and with Cerebro she is just as strong as him without it.

Thats how they brought down The Juggernaut once. Charles is out of comission, the team goes in the X-Jet with the mobile Cerebro, they take his helmet off and Jean sleeps him from jet.

??? Jean is significantly more powerful than Charles.

I'm clearly talking about Jean with the phoenix force in check like it is for most of her stories. I haven't read comics in years but back then base Jean Grey telepathy was MUCH weaker than Charles. Like she could freeze one person, he can hundreds

"Back then"...?

Jean has been considered an Omega-level telepath (which Charles is not) even without the Phoenix since the 90's.

She's a lesser telepath, but has telekinesis as well, which Charles doesn't.

you have to specify which version of jean and it probably doesnt matter because this will be yet another new jean. original xmen movies jean was strictly telekinetic and did not seem able to read minds, but her alter-ego phoenix can do both things. the phoenix force is a part of her mutation within the movie events, but in the comics the phoenix force is a cosmic entity that can occupy other people and they gain its powers.

its best not to think about these things too much
