Jean Grey

---

Jean was an average 10-year-old girl in Anandale-On-Hudson, New York until one day in her front yard. She was playing frisbee with her best friend, Annie Richardson. Jean threw the frisbee and it went flying to the other side of the street. Jean's mother, Elaine, warned the girls that they lived on a blind curve, but Annie forgot. She ran after the frisbee and a car came down the street going fast. The car hit Annie. Jean ran to her dying friend and kneeled down. She started crying, then an instant later, Jean found herself in Annie's mind and stayed there til Annie died. Jean was traumatized. She withdrew into herself...she didn't talk to anyone. Then a few weeks later, Professor and Mrs. Grey took their daughter to Salem Center, New York to see a man named Charles Xavier. She stayed there for a while. Unknown to the Greys, Xavier was a mutant. He shut down her telepathic powers and they remained dormant for years. She saw a boy at the mansion and she had an infatuation with him. Jean returned home. However, Jean had another mutant power, the power of telekinesis. She practiced it and got better at it.

Seven years later, Jean returned to the mansion and saw the boy again...but he was older and very shy. He opened the door for her. She saw three other teenaged boys. Xavier introduced them as X-Men. They had mutant powers like Jean. The boys were: Angel((ability to glide the air with his feathered wings)), Beast((ability of superior strength, speed, agility, intelligence, and stamina)), Iceman((ability to freeze moisture)), and Cyclops((ability to shoot ruby lasers from his eyes[Note: He is the boy Jean has a crush on])). Xavier gave Jean a codename and on that day she became a superheroine named "Marvel Girl".

A few hours later, the mutant known as Magneto attacked a naval base and threatening to shoot nuclear missles. The X-Men put on their costumes and took the Blackbird((the jet the X-men take to go to missions)). These young teenagers fought the master of magnetism. It was their first mission and they won. They returned to the X-Mansion and became superheroes((or superherione in Jean's case)). About a year later, these aliens were going to invade Earth. Xavier contacted Changeling((not an X-Man)) and Jean. Changeling morphed into Professor Xavier and was later killed by the aliens. There was a place called the Z'Noxx Chamber underneath the mansion. Professor stayed there for a few weeks. He told Jean not to tell the other X-Men that he was alive. They moved out of the mansion and into Greenwich Village, starting a new phase in their lives. Professor X "dead".

They had plenty of missions and received two members((Havok and Polaris)). Then Xavier returned a few weeks later. The X-Men had a mission to Krakoa and all of them realized that Krakoa was an animate mutant island. The island captured them all except Cyclops. He flew the Blackbird back to the mansion and Xavier created a new team X-Men Team[Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Thunderbird, Wolverine, Banshee, and Sunfire]. These X-Men returned to Krakoa and saved the X-Men. The original X-Men((except Cyclops)) left the team.

Jean visited the X-Men frequently and she decided to join again on a Christmas Eve. She and Cyclops were dancing the night away at the Rainbow Room. The Sentinels arrived and kidnapped Jean and went to the moon, where Stephen Lang was creating new Sentinels and robot duplicates of the original X-Men. The X-Menwent to the moon to rescue Jean. They first believed that the robots were the original X-Men, but Wolverine sliced the Jean duplicate in the gut and saw robot parts. They went to Jean's safety. They had no way of getting back to Earth until Astronaut Peter Corbeau took them to the ship. He said that there was solar radiation in their course back to Earth, so if he flew the shuttle, he would have died. Jean volunteered to fly the shuttle. She telepathically stole the knowledge of Dr. Corbeau's flight training and was prepared to fly. Cyclops didn't think it was a good idea that she should fly, so Jean shot him with a telepathic shock bolt. The X-Men went into the cockpit and Jean began to fly it and by using her telekinetic power to block the radiation. The radiation came in the shuttle and took the form of Jean, but faceless, Jean's body was dying, so the Phoenix flew the shuttle and crashed into the Jamaica Bay. Jean was placed in a healing cocoon, while the other X-Men believed she was dead. About two years later, the Avengers found Jean in her cocoon. After she got out, she called the original X-Men, so they could reunite and make their own superhero team. They called it X-Factor. They had told the public that they were mutant hunters, but in reality, they saved mutants and sought them shelter. They even pretended to be humans.
