## Biography:

### Early Life:

> Jean Grey: *I don't want you to get hurt, but you have to **understand**... The more you annoy me the more I can't help thinking about **deconstructing** you, molecule by molecule, memory by memory... until there's nothing **left** but screaming, traumatized **atoms**.*

Jean had a normal childhood until her powers emerge, like every other mutant. Once her powers emerged it was a whole different ball game. She was mentored by Professor Charles Xavier at his School For The Gifted and was one of the first X-Men. She hadn't always kept on the straight and narrow however, as she was taken over by The Phoenix who made her do some pretty dark things.

In her life many things have happened. She died, a few times actually. A clone of her was created by Mr Sinister and married to Cyclops. She was brought back to life many times thanks to the Phoenix Force. She met children that she had in alternate time lines or from the future. She fell in love with Scott and after he moved on after her death she decided to as well. When she was brought back thanks to the Five on Krakoa, she was able to rekindle a relationship with Wolverine.

### Since The Worlds Collided:

> Jean Grey: *Scott, am I worth it? I destroyed a world-- in my mind, I can still hear the screams of the dying-- and it felt good! I don’t want that feeling ever again. And yet-- I do!*
>
>

Since the bridges to the words have connected Jean has met people from different timelines and worlds. She has of course met Mr Turner (who hadn't?) but also another version of Wolverine and Scarlett Witch. Both were interesting. The different Logan seemed much like her own, but sadder. His Jeannie didn't love him back, she loved Scott. She also didn't seem to have gone through some of the things that the 616 Jean did (Dark Phoenix, time travel, ect).

The other Wanda was much like that of her own. She was sweet and kind but missing her children. She didn't get to know as much about her as she would have liked. Time is short and there seemed to be a lot to do.

She had gone to a Gala with Logan to celebrate Pride month. That was where she has met more people from other worlds. She met a Victor Stone and a few other people. She has been trying to stay on the Island as much as she can to help navigate her people through this newest transition.

## Personality:

> Jean Grey : *Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, they don't bring him home; they marry the good guy.*
>
>

> Wolverine : *I can be the good guy.*
>
>

Jean is a very patient, very kind woman. She is calm under pressure and rarely loses her temper. She is also an omega level mutant and has to deal with all the trials and tribulations that come with that. She must always be in control of herself so she doesn't accidently harm someone with her powers. On top of all that she is also an empath which makes being mean to others or even harming them, hard. When you can feel what the person across from you is feeling, it's hard to be mean.

Well, most of the time.

While she has a massive compacity for love and just kindness, she's also a mutant. She's also a X-Man. She knows that her kind have been under fire since they had come out of hiding. When it comes down to it she does what she needs to do in combat. She has made hard calls and will continue to do so, just to keep everyone safe. She has gone to war and will go to war again for her people. She hated hurting people, but when they felt that indignant rage and thought about killing her and her people, she stopped caring.

She has opened her home to her entire family, including her ex-husband Scott Summers. They live together on the Moon with their children from alternate realities and the future and with Wolverine. She is the most comfortable here. She has her family and the man she loves the most. They also are making a ranch so Logan can teach her how to ride. She tries to spend as much time here as possible but often has to leave due to her roll on the X-Men. She had let go of her feelings for Scott a while ago, after her last reincarnation pre-Krakoa. She saw how happy Emma made him and she couldn't fight it. She had to let him go. She thought that she would be alone forever, she actually kind of wanted to. She didn't know if she would die again and be brought back, she didn't know if the Phoenix was even finished with her. She didn't want to put anyone else though any of that. But Wolverine wouldn't let her. He didn't stalk her or anything, he was patient and just in the background. Soon she fell for him and now they are inseparable.

## Appearance:

> Jean Grey : *Oh, I have a knack for intuiting things. That's all.*
>

Average height. Flawless completion. Red hair, green eyes. Average build and weight. Doesn't stand out in a crowd. Her outfit as Marvel Girl is a green dress that comes to the knee's with a yellow head peice in shape of the phoenix, yellow gloves and yellow knee high boots. Yellow and green are two colour staples in Jean's pallet. When she's not saving the world she's normally in mom jeans and a comfortable t shirt or tank top.

## Powers and Abilities:

> Jean Grey*: You said it yourself, Logan... nights are the worst. So I thought you could use **some company** to help you get through **this one.***

**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

**Telepathy:** Jean is able to read thoughts, project and broadcast her own thoughts, as well as affect 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. During her time in the future she displayed advanced telepathic skills after being tutored by Kitty Pryde, such as cloaking herself and Scott Summers from even the most powerful of the future X-Mens' telepaths. She was also able to overpower Xorn (her future self), although the latter claimed that she was holding back during the altercation. However, the magnitude of this achievement is shown by the fact that even the combined might of Emma Frost and the Stepford Cuckoos was insufficient to defeat Xorn. After her absorption of Psylocke's specialized telepathy, Jean's own telepathic skill and power was increased to a level at which she could create psionic firebirds capable of inflicting mental and physical damage. However this enhanced telepathy came at the temporary cost of her telekinesis. 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.
* **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.
* **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.

**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.

**Psychic Siphoning:** Jean is able to drain others' psychic energy to enhance her psionic powers. The boost she can provide to herself depends of 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 others 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.

### 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.

### Physical Strength

Jean possesses the normal human strength of a woman of her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise. However, some incarnations of Phoenix, including at least the first appearance of Dark Phoenix at the Hellfire Club, possessed super strength sufficient to lift over 100 tons physically.

Jean demonstrated the upper-limit of her kinetic strength by grasping multiple components (the strewn rubble of a Genoshan school), which, according to Hank McCoy, weighed anywhere up to 50 tons. From this display it can be theorized that Jean's maximum telekinetic load without the use of the Phoenix Force is 50 tons, though she could lift Avalon. Also she could stop a plane in mid air and lift it, while feeling Cable's pain with her telepathy.

### Weaknesses

While Jean is a mutant she is still mortal and anything that can kill a mortal can hurt and kill her.

### Equipment

Nothing? Jean wears a costume when adventuring and doesn't have physical weapons.

## Relationships:

> Jean Grey: *Have you not been paying attention, little me? What do you think will happen when you meet the bird? The Phoenix is equal parts good and evil. Pleasure and pain. Both sides. The whole coin.*
>

### X-Men

Her squad, forever. She loves all her teammates, even Slim.

### Rachel Summers

While she tries to mom her, Rachel is more like a friend or even a sister. In an alternate timeline she would be the girls mom, but not now or here. Instead, both women need a friend and they have eachother.

### Nate Summers

While not her son, she still treats him that way. She doesn't see him any differently then she does her other kids.

### Scott Summers

Former husband and leader of the X-Men. She doesn't *hate* him, she just doesn't love him anymore. While they did have a great relationship and she did at one point love him with all her heart, now she didn't. He was in love with Emma and that was fine.

### Logan

The love of her life. The man who makes her heart sing. While he had always perused her, she never saw him as someone she would marry or even be with long term due to her love of Scott but since this last time that she came back something opened her eyes. She saw something in him that melted her. Now they live together and are very happy. Both parent their respective broods on their own.
