But since you brought it up, yes the firelight in the eyes was a dead givaway and the stretched wing bird 'insignia' appearing in the drink was just extra eye-rolling confirmation.
As previously speculated, I don't think we'll see much of the comicbook backstory. Rather, this is a transformation of Jean Grey into Jean ohsomeone'sgettingtheirasskicked!!! Grey probably to be called "Phoenix". As to speculations of it being triggered by Cerebro, yeah I can go along with that and I'll also point out Magneto's genetic mutator doohicky could be a contender and perhaps even a combination of effects from both gadgets. ;)
