Jean Grey (X-Men: Civilization of the Past)

**Jean Grey** is a mutant with vast empathic and telepathic abilities that were traumatically awakened when as a child she witnessed her best friend's death. For years, Jean Grey was mentored by mutant specialist Professor Charles Xavier, a telepath himself. Eventually, she also developed telekinetic powers. When Xavier opened a school for mutants in order to prepare his students to carry on his dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans, Jean Grey was enrolled as the last student of his first class. As Marvel Girl, she became one of the original X-Men, a group that fight for a world that hates and fears mutants.

Jean Grey is intimately associated with the Phoenix, an immensely powerful cosmic entity. After being corrupted by the Hellfire Club, Phoenix rose as the **Dark Phoenix** and caused immeasurable destruction. Jean Grey's conscience led the Phoenix to sacrifice herself to prevent further destruction. Jean Grey's connection to the Phoenix, a force of destruction and rebirth, inflicted a number of deaths, and resurrections. Upon her most recent return, Jean Grey permanently rejected the Phoenix and took the direction of a new X-Men team.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Telekinesis**: Projection of psychokinetic energy enables her to levitate objects, propel or manipulate them however she wishes, lift herself and move through the air to simulate flight, stimulate individual molecules to create heat, generate concussive force as blasts or bursts, and create protective shields. While she has access to the Phoenix Force, she is able to manipulate matter and energy on a sub-atomic scale using her telekinesis. She can even change her Phoenix clothes into a set of street clothes and lift multiple heavy objects at once without having any difficulties.
	+ **Psychic** **Firebird**: She can manifest her telekinesis as a psychic firebird, whose claws could inflict both physical and mental damage.
	+ **Force** **Field**: She can create a telekinetic field to either shield her and her teammates or use it to lift multiple heavy objects at her enemy.
	+ **Tactile** **Telekinesis**: She has the power to utilize a personal force field of telekinetic energy.
	+ **Matter** **Transmutation**: She can manipulate and transmute matter on a sub-atomic level (e.g., turning wood into gold, plant into crystal, and cause physical bodies to disintegrate by altering their molecular structure, etc.).
	+ **Telekinetic** **Weapons**: She can create psionic weapons and constructs out of psychic energy that damage a target either physically, mentally or both in some point. The versatility of this ability was greatly enhanced after training with Psylocke.
	+ **Temporal** **Telekinesis**: Jean has been able to use her telekinetic abilities through time by projecting her astral form in different points in the timestream.
* **Telepathy**: Jean is the most notable, powerful and skilled telepath in the entire Marvel Universe. She is an Omega Level Telepath, who is able to read thoughts, project and broadcast her own thoughts, as well as interact with, affect and even manipulate the minds of humans and animals with higher order intelligence (such as dolphins, ravens or dogs). The range at which she can perform these feats is greatly increased while she is accessing the Phoenix Force. She has demonstrated the following specialized uses:
	+ **Telepathic** **Defense**: She can manifest her telepathy in a number of defensive ways.
		- **Telepathic Cloak**: She can mask her presence and the use of her abilities from being detected by other psions and Cerebro-type devises. She can extend these defenses to others around her as well. Cloaking via telepathy is not perfect and powerful psis may notice and 'see' through this ability.
		- **Cloak** **Mind**: Ability to rearrange the "mental engrams" of mutants so their distinctive mutant thought patterns cannot be detected by Cerebro-type devises or by other telepaths.
		- **Psychic** **Shield**: Ability to erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and the minds of others.
		- **Telepathic** **Illusions**: She can create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring. Her illusions can also inflect pain on others, making them near flawless. This was later proven when Karnak took 3 days to find a flaw in one of her mindscapes.
		- **Telepathic** **Camouflage**: She can alter the apparent physical appearance of herself and other people by altering the perceptions of those around her. This can go so far as to make other people believe that the camouflaged people are not there (invisible). A limit, if one exists, is only imposed by the number of people she is trying to fool, not the number of people she is camouflaging.
	+ **Telepathic** **Manipulation**: She can manipulate other people's minds easily, achieving a variety of effects.
		- **Memory** **Alteration**: She can erase, implant, restore or alter the memory of others.
		- **Mind** **Control**: She can control the thoughts and actions of others.
			* **Mind** **Possession**: She can possess the mind of another and use that being's body as her own.
		- **Personality** **Alteration**: She can alter the minds of others by force of will, thus permanently changing their personality partially or entirely.
		- **Mental** **Paralysis**: She can induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.
		- **Mental** **Amnesia**: She can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia.
		- **Mind** **Transferal**: She can transfer both her mind and powers into other host bodies if her own physical body was somehow killed.
		- **Heal** **Trauma**: She has the ability to erase a person's memories and to heal mental trauma through "psychic surgery", as well as the power to stimulate or deaden the pain and pleasure centers in a person's brain.
		- **Mental** **Sedating**: Can telepathically "sedate" her victims so that, if already rendered unconscious, they remain so for as long as she continues to "sedate" them.
		- **Neural** **Jumpstart**: She can increase the speed of neural signals in the brain, which could increase another mutant's powers to incredible levels, but the effect was only temporary.
		- **Dilate** **Power**: Ability to place "psychic inhibitors" in the minds of mutant adversaries to prevent them from using their powers.
		- **Mind** **Link**: She can bond others minds allowing them to communicate telepathically between them.
		- **Inter**-**Dimensional** **Telepathy**: Jean was able to communicate with Cable while he was in the dimension of Otherworld, something Xavier thought was impossible to do.
	+ **Psychic** **Blast**: She can project psychic force bolts which have no physical effects, but which can affect a victim's mind, causing them pain, knocking them unconsciousness or turning the victim "brain-dead".
	+ **Astral** **Projection**: She can project her astral form from her body onto the Astral Plane or the physical plane. In the physical plane she can travel in astral form over vast distances. In the astral plane, she can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment. She can communicate with others astrally through her own will, or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others through time.
	+ **Temporal** **Telepathy**: Jean has been shown to be able to read, control and track minds through time, allowing her to affect events in the past, as well as sending her consciousness as well as Wolverine's through time.
	+ **Mental Detection**: She can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small but as yet undefined radius of herself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
* **Empathy**: On many occasions, Jean has shown to have incredibly strong empathic powers that enable her to control, manipulate and alter the feelings, sensations, and emotions of others. It is because of her empathic abilities that the almighty Phoenix Force had chosen her as its rightful human host. In other versions, she had not been shown possessing any types of empathic abilities except for telekinesis and telepathy.
* **Psychic** **Siphoning**: Jean is able to drain others' psychic energy to enhance her psionic powers. The boost she can provide to herself depends on the psychic energy within her enemies, explaining the fact that she is rarely seen using this power. The greatest feat she has performed after using this ability was when she knocked Galactus out with a blast of psychic energy stolen from him, the Phoenix, Terrax, and an unknown alien species. She also used this ability to reconstruct her body after being consumed by a Poison, and to kill the Poison Queen.
	+ **Telekinetic** **Aura**: She can surround her body with psychic energy to protect herself from harm. She survived a high-speed collision from Gladiator, which would have normally resulted with her death.
	+ **Psychic** **Resistance**: She can protect herself from other telepaths by draining the psychic energy that they normally use. This also prevents her psyche from complete erasure after the Poisons took her over.
	+ **Psychic** **Entity** **Physiology**: Jean manages to ascend her physical body to become a being of pure psionic force, similar to Nate Grey from the age of Apocalypse. In this form she is a material energy being who could regain her physical form even after having been consumed by a Poison, using this feature to break free of her corporeal prison and reconstruct her physical body from scratch.
	+ **Cosmic**-**Level** **Telekinetic** **Blast**: She can create a blast of psychic energy powerful enough to affect Cosmic Beings as Galactus.
	+ **Psionic** **Bolt** **Generation**: She can transform psychic energy into bolts of energy.
	+ **Psychic** **Firebird**: She can manifest her telekinesis as a firebird made of psychic energy.
* **Self** **Resurrection**: Jean has been able to resurrect herself by either using her psychic powers or through her sheer force of will. Jean has been able to resurrect herself by reconstructing her body out of psionic energy after it was vaporized. Jean was even able to fully resurrect herself after being clinically dead and independent of the Phoenix Force after encasing herself in a glacier of ice.
* **Phoenix** **Force** **Avatar**: As the favored and true avatar of the powerful Phoenix Force, Jean may greatly increase her powers by tapping into the omniversal life energies of those yet unborn. The Phoenix Force also allows its avatars to manifest additional powers, especially in terms of Jean as its "host, house, and self". Jean Grey is the strongest and complete host of Phoenix Force and as such, she is even capable of forcibly ripping it out of another host and forcing its status upon herself. They became the White Phoenix of the Crown and ruled over the omniverse in the white hot room.
	+ **Interstellar** **Travel**: A Phoenix Force avatar can fly unaided through the vacuum of space and can travel interstellar distances faster than the speed of light.
	+ **Cosmic** **Pyrokinesis**: Jean, while acting as a Phoenix Force avatar, can create 'cosmic' fire under any conditions, even the impossible ones such as in the vacuum of space or underwater. This fire does not require oxygen to burn and burns so intensely that matter is consumed without by-products such as ash. Jean has perfect control over this fire, and it only consumes what she wills. Typically, it manifests as a raptor or part of a raptor such as a claw or wings. It is unclear whether this fire is an extension of her powerful telekinesis or a more general property of the Phoenix Force. It is possible that she can create her very powerful 'cosmic' fire by the combination of both her extended telekinesis power and Phoenix Force as the result of her status as the one true Phoenix. It is certainly true that the cosmic fire is literal punctuation to the Phoenix's purpose to 'burn away what doesn't work' and 'burn through lies'. Her cosmic fire is strong enough to easily defeat Terrax the Tamer and injuring Galactus. Even while unconscious, this fire can easily melt oxygen equipment and difficult to extinguish as Phoenix Force entered young Jean.
	+ **Cosmic** **Teleportation**: She can teleport her and others across vast distances such as to another planet or galaxy, across the vast vacuum of space itself, or even an entirely new timeline all-together.
	+ **Concussive** **Force** **Blasts**: She can use the 'Phoenix energy' to manipulate and project multiple forms of energy and use it to project blasts and beams of immense concussive force powerful enough to destroy whole planetary bodies.
	+ **Telekinetic** **Sensitivity**: This lets her feel the texture of objects she has a telekinetic hold on, feel when other objects come into contact with them, and probe them at a molecular level to identify if they contain alien materials or feel when two things which she has a telekinetic "hold" upon are similarly composed.
	+ **Resurrection**: The Phoenix Force can resurrect others after they have died into pure living flesh, bone, and blood. It is unknown if factors such as time since death have an effect on the ability to successfully resurrect a person, nor is it clear how the Phoenix calls back the soul of a person to their body.
	+ **Energy** **Absorption**: She can directly absorb, manipulate, generate, and fully control any type of energy such as Cyclops' ruby red-colored optic blasts or the entire energy of a star, black hole, or even a whole galaxy. Jean, as the "One-True Phoenix", was shown to be able to activate and deactivate the mutations of other's with just the use of her psychic abilities.
	+ **Life-Force** **Control**: As Jean is one with the Phoenix Force, she can fully control and manipulate life and death itself, as such, it can take the "life energy" from something, rendering it "dead" or *vice versa*.
	+ **Immortality**: Jean and the Phoenix Force are one-and-the-same entity at some fundamental level, and as such Jean can never truly die and as a Phoenix Force avatar, she does not age. Upon the death of her corporeal form, Jean spends time in the White Hot Room doing 'Phoenix work'. The Phoenix Force can also restore Jean's body to life, although there appears to be some unknown limitation to how quickly it can successfully accomplish this following her death.
	+ **Temporal** **Manipulation**: While acting as the Phoenix Force avatar can manipulate the past, present, and future across large temporal distances and with a profound knowledge of the causal affect her actions will have and see through the time. It may be the case that time as a concept doesn't apply to the White Hot Room. Jean as the White Phoenix of the Crown held her universe in her palms possessing the infinite power to write what she would as the "One True Phoenix" in any timeline, using it to manipulate the past to save her timeline from a horrible future, altering the memories of everyone in the reality itself in the process.
	+ **Atmokinesis**: Jean is capable of manipulating and creating cosmic weather. It can create cosmic storms, solar flares, geomagnetic storms, cosmic rays, coronal mass ejection, and black holes. It was thanks to this that Storm could find Dark Phoenix, by tracking the disturbances in the weather she was generating.
	+ **Existence** **Mastery**: Since Jean Grey is Phoenix entirely, she is able to possesses total control over the entirety of existence. She can warp reality, bring anything into existence, freely manipulate all existing things, and return them to nothingness when their purpose is extinguished. It's possible that she could have created and given birth by using a portion of the Phoenix Force to create Hope Summers. Though Jean herself did not give birth but gave the portion to her the minute she was born so she could save the mutant race. Another possibility would be her appearance (Hope possesses Jean's green eyes and red hair and resembles her also being the only other host that has been linked to the Phoenix without actually *being* a host at the time as well as the only other avatar to turn into a White Phoenix) and that she is Phoenix.

### Abilities

Jean excels at astral combat. She maintained a psychic link to Cyclops for a number of years. She possessed the memories of the Phoenix duplicate of her as well as those of Madelyne Pryor-Summers, her clone, and is thus an expert pilot. Jean has shown some proficiency in hand-to-hand and armed, non-psionic combat; the extent of this is unknown as she prefers to utilize her telekinesis and telepathy during battle. She was able to defeat a group of ninjas with the only use of telekinetic weapons. She has a college education from Metro College.
