* [[invoked]]AngstWhatAngst: Jean Grey seems totally fine about her mother, father, niece, nephew, aunts, uncles, and cousins all being mass murdered while she was gone.

* BigGood: Like her husband, she is pretty much the Paragon of mutantkind to whom everybody looks up, also post-mortem. Her teenaged self finds it alternately intimidating and irritating, on the grounds that people tend to see either the Paragon or the ApocalypseMaiden and don't bother to look further.

** She's got a bit of this towards [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], since while he's probably the strongest mutant in the Marvel Universe (possibly excepting Nathan Summers without the Techno organic Virus, and Franklin Richards), having the raw power of the Dark Phoenix at ''17'', his powers were prone to switching off at inappropriate moments or slowly trying to kill him. Also, he was a colossal {{Woobie}} and something of a MommasBoy. When he resurrected himself, the first bone he had to pick with Mystique was the fact that she'd been impersonating his dead mother, making him believe that she was alive. He was ''not'' pleased.
*** During ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018'', after his FaceHeelTurn, she's pretty much the one person who can actually get through to him, and who even gets ''close'' to laying a finger on him a straight fight.

* MiniDressOfPower: Her second outfit is a green dress with a miniskirt.

* ShesGotLegs: She has very long muscular yer shapely legs and tends to show them off through her costumes.

* SimpleYetOpulent: Her dress when she arrives at the mansion, in the first issue, wouldn't look to out of place among a high class party.

She also initially accepted that Scott has moved on by married with another woman named Madelyne Pryor. However, things got complicated when Madelyne returns during ''ComicBook/{{Inferno}}'', her powers are awakened by demonic pact and she introduces herself as Goblyn Queen. The revelation that Madelyne is actually Jean's clone drove her completely insane and she plans to sacrifice the infant Nathan to achieve greater power and unleash Hell on Earth. Jean and Madelyne confront each other, and Madelyne attempts to kill them both. Jean manages to survive only by absorbing the remnant of the Phoenix Force housed within Madelyne, giving her both Madelyne's memories and the Phoenix's memories from Dark Phoenix Saga.

After Madelyne's death, Jean helps Scott cared for Nathan, since he's genetically her son as well. When X-Factor rejoins the X-Men, Jean no longer uses her codename. She initially doesn't accept the arrival of ComicBook/RachelSummers (who goes by the codename "Phoenix" as well and is also able to tap into the Phoenix Force). Some time later, Nathan is kidnapped and infected with Techno-Organic Virus by ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}. The virus was rapidly spreading through his body and, if not stopped, would kill him. To help him, Jean and Scott are forced to let him being taken by a woman named Sister Askani from a distant future who claimed her clan had technology in that might be able to save Nathan. However, Askani could only risk one time jump without destroying herself. So, Nathan could not return to present timeline very soon.

Jean eventually accepts Rachel as her daughter, who also requests Jean to take the codename Phoenix. After some time, she also accepts Scott's marriage proposal (which she previously rejected) and during their honeymoon, they had MentalTimeTravel to distant future, which allowed them to raise young Nathan. During this time, Scott and Jean used fake names, Slym and Redd Dayspring, respectively, to hide their identity. It's revealed that Rachel was responsible for the time travel by using her powers because she wants them to protect and raise Nathan. Back in the present, Jean and Scott revealed to Cable that they had raised him in the future as Redd and Slym Dayspring. Cable had known for some time and was waiting for them to be ready to tell him. They were pleased to be reunited as a family again. During ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}'', Jean also met her other alternate reality child, Nate Grey a.k.a. ComicBook/XMan (and is essentially younger Cable), who accidentally resurrects Madelyne in a subconscious attempt to reach out to his "mother", Jean. Despite responsible bringing for her rival back into her life, Jean parted with her son on good terms.

Scott is later possessed by Apocalypse and apparently killed. But Jean believes he may be still alive. She's helped by Cable in rescuing and freeing Scott from the possession. But, during the events in ''ComicBook/NewXMen'', Scott isn't feeling very well due to Apocalypse's possession and this is when their marriage begin to fall, especially after the "psychic affair" between him and ComicBook/EmmaFrost, fellow member and reformed supervillainess. Ultimately, though, Jean realizes that Emma truly loves him. And when Emma was shot and [[LiterallyShatteredLives literally shattered]] in her organic diamond form by Esme Cuckoo, Jean helped repairing Emma at the molecular level, displaying incredible telekinetic power. Later, she's tricked by ComicBook/{{Magneto}} impostor, Kuan-Yin Xorn, along with ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, who has long-time one-sided crush on her. They ended up trapped on Asteroid M, drifting closer to the Sun. The Phoenix Force within Jean is reawakened when Wolverine tried to {{Mercy Kill}}ed her. Jean and Wolverine returned to Earth to face Xorn. But Xorn managed to (physically) kill her with an electromagnetic pulse which causes her to have a planetary-scale stroke. An enraged Wolverine soon avenges her by [[OffWithHisHead decapitating]] Xorn.

Upon the death of her physical form, Jean spends time in the 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. Around this time, she's also somehow seen aiding the X-Men, such as collecting the missing fragments of the Phoenix Force she took some of them from Rachel Summers and the Stepford Cuckoos after the events in ''Phoenix Warsong'' when they wield the powers. She even helps Emma (again), when the latter is {{mind rape}}d by the resurrected Madelyne Pryor into psychic static. She also helps Scott, who became Dark Phoenix of Phoenix Five, to let go of the Phoenix Force during ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen''. Most recently, she's been brought back to life once again and is leading [[ComicBook/XMenRed her own team of X-Men]].

She also initially accepted that Scott has moved on by married with another woman named Madelyne Pryor. However, things got complicated when Madelyne, who is angered over Scott's decision to lead X-Factor and neglect his family, abandoned him with their infant son, Nathan. When Madelyne returns during ''ComicBook/{{Inferno}}'', her powers are awakened by demonic pact and she introduces herself as Goblyn Queen.

'''Jean Grey of the Past'''
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jean_grey_vol_1_1_9.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:299:''"If you're trying to see which one of us can make the other one more angry... you win. The difference between us is you project illusions... sure, good convincing illusions! I project reality! Your darkest fears! The real you!"'']]

Much later, after the events of ''Schism'' and ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', the X-Men have broken apart down ideological lines: Wolverine-led [[ComicBook/WolverineAndTheXMen X-Men]] in Jean Grey School for Higher Learning and Cyclops-led X-Men in New Charles Xavier School.

The Phoenix Five, plus Magneto, led by Scott Summers, are on the run. After using their Phoenix powers to change the world as they saw fit, they're now considered terrorists. Cyclops has them teleporting around the world to rescue or approach new mutants as they manifest. Cyclops' goal: time for a revolution, and he needs an army.

Meanwhile Beast, dying as a result of further mutations, hears an offhand remark from Iceman, along the order of: "If only Scott could see himself..." and decides that's a brilliant idea. He goes to the past and brings [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen the original five X-Men]], including much younger Jean Grey, to the present day. After they're convinced to help settle the things that previously caused by original Cyclops and his own X-Men, they agree to stay. However, it eventually becomes clear that not everything was as they were told upon arriving, in addition to several changes in the team dynamics and emotional impacts, which result in the O5 X-Men and Kitty Pryde deciding to join the New Xavier School in hopes of being able to continue their attempt to bring mutantkind and mankind together.

In the new school, young Jean is under tutelage of Emma Frost, of all people. They began their relationship in a not-so-friendly way. But after they settle their differences, they begin to bond, developing a thoroughly unlikely friendship. Some time later, Jean is kidnapped by Shi'ar Empire who [[KangarooCourt randomly blames her]] for what her future counterpart, as Dark Phoenix, did in Dark Phoenix Saga. But thanks to her four original teammates (along with Kitty Pryde and ComicBook/{{X 23}}), Starjammers, and ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy, Jean is rescued and safely returned to the school. After that, she and her team ultimately depart on a road trip to try and get their heads straight, before getting involved in [[ComicBook/InhumansVsXMen the Mutant-Inhuman War]], Jean being detailed to deal with Karnak. After that, she takes up leadership of the newly formed 'Blue' team, the Original Five plus Jimmy Hudson a.k.a. Ultimate Wolverine's son, under the guidance of Magneto, while also being plagued by visions of the Phoenix, which she's certain is coming for her, and she ultimately decides to try and learn how to fight it, going to former hosts, then to the likes of the Odinson, Betsy Braddock, and Doctor Strange. As it turns out, she's being haunted by the ghost of her adult self, but the Phoenix really is coming. To the horror of both her and the ghost of the older Jean, the Phoenix Force ''was'' coming after her, but not to bond with her -- it wanted her ''dead'', bonding with her and obliterating her body, setting the stage for ''ComicBook/PhoenixResurrectionTheReturnOfJeanGrey''. However, she ends up in the White-Hot Room thanks to taking Emma Frost's piece of the Phoenix Force, and talks the Phoenix into bring her back to life and leaving her alone.

!Tropes for Teen Jean in ''All New X-Men'' and ''Jean Grey''
[[folder: A-L]]
* ActionGirl: What she became with time. Jean is highly capable of defending herself and others whenever the time calls for it. She proves to be the most powerful of the Teen X-Men, psychically flattening the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree Empire and several dozen Kree accusers in one shot, overpowering Gladiator and, without her telepathy, wiping the floor with the Blob.
* IAmAMonster: She said this when she's prosecuted by Shi'ar Empire.
* BadassAndChildDuo: The child to Old Man Logan's badass in ''ComicBook/ExtraordinaryXMen''.
** Briefly with [[ObfuscatingStupidity a seemingly absolutely]] [[StealthPun hammered]] Odinson in her solo series, when looking to learn about how to fight godlike beings.
* BettyAndVeronica: While it wasn't drawn out for particularly long, she was the Betty to Comicbook/{{X 23}}'s Veronica with Teen!Scott, with Jean visibly jealous when she noted that Scott and Laura were mutually attracted.
* CharacterDevelopment: She goes from scared kid terrified of her own future and her own powers, barely more than a basic telekinetic and a profoundly inexperienced telepath, to a someone who's discovered a whole new level to her powers, escapes a supposedly inescapable restraining Shi'ar bubble, taking out about half the Imperial Guard in the process, before going toe to toe with freaking [[PhysicalGod Gladiator]]. As of her solo series, she's now got the confidence to strike out on her own and learn how to take on the Phoenix - which is apparently coming to merge with her whether she likes it or not. And after ''that'', she becomes much more comfortable with life, thanks to her worst nightmare having passed her by.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Though she's trying to keep a low profile at the start of ''Extraordinary X-Men'' and turned down a chance to join the titular team in favour of going to college, intent on studying and enjoying life with her new boyfriend, she can't let bad stuff pass. In issue 2 when she sees someone who does not look human (assumed by all to be a mutant, but actually an Inhuman) being beaten up by a gang. Her boyfriend, proving to be mutant-phobic, tells her to leave the mutie. Jean informs him that he's in for a nasty surprise and starts kicking butt.
* CivvieSpandex: Her costume in her solo series and ''X-Men Blue'', though she doesn't always wear the jacket.
* DeathIsCheap: Deconstructed, because she's actually genuinely horrified that her future self has died more than once.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has shorter hair in her solo series. Supposedly to distinct herself from her future self.
* FieryRedhead: And since this one is still teenager, so she's understandably a little bit more short-tempered than her future self.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her original costume and second costume.
* FutureMeScaresMe: She is horrified of all that she knows she will go through, but especially the Phoenix-related bits. In her solo book she meets the ghost of her then-dead adult self and blatantly says nobody would want to be her.
-->'''Adult Jean:''' How do you think I got ready?! How do you think I became me?!\\
'''Teen Jean:''' I don't want to be you! Why would anybody ever want to be you?!
* HeroicBSOD: Has one when she sees what happens to her future self. Later she has an even worse one after [[spoiler:Teen Angel leaves to join Modern Cyclops]].
* HypocriticalHumor: In her solo series where she finally met Hope, both of them remark how they can't understand why some people consider them identical... while [[SpeakInUnison speaking in unison]].
* KangarooCourt: When various alien organizations learn Jean Grey is alive again, they seek to prosecute her for her future self's actions as Dark Phoenix.
* KickTheDog: See TookALevelInJerkass below.
* LoveDodecahedron: Several examples.
** She and Teen Scott were in love until they got to the future. Now she's not so sure she wants him anymore given what she knows about who/what he grows up to be, while he's still smitten, thinking that their eventual wedding is "proof" they're supposed to be together. Eventually, they hook up.
** She and Teen Hank kiss. She instigated it on top of that. The events of ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' cause a little fallout. At the end of the first volume they give an actual relationship a try, but she ultimately decides they're BetterAsFriends during the TimeSkip.
** She and Teen Angel have a moment when he catches her when she's falling.
** She also seems to be attracted to Modern Scott, but he quickly says it can't ever happen. ''Ever''.
** Jean was visibly jealous of Scott's attraction to X-23, especially when it was subtly implied to be reciprocated by Laura. Her relief when Laura and Warren began dating instead was ''palpable''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: M-Z]]
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: She reads the Purifiers' minds to learn just how messed up they are towards mutants and their hate crimes. She's also left quite disturbed when she reads part of [[ComicBook/{{X23}} Laura]]'s mind, and learns about the things that were done to her (Kitty did warn her not to read Laura, though).
* MindOverManners: Jean's telepathy shows up unexpectedly due to the stress of seeing the future and knowing her future self dies (more than once). Kitty has to repeatedly remind her it's considered extremely impolite to read minds without permission. Jean apologizes, but her curiosity gets the better of her quite a bit. Sometimes HilarityEnsues, sometimes it leads to awkward moments, but most times [[WhatTheHellHero she can't believe what people have done]]. She's getting better by the time she meets [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Miles Morales]].
* MindRape: She tried to do it on Teen Angel ''again'' in Issue 11, but Stepford Triplets stop her.
* MostCommonSuperpower: DependingOnTheArtist... even though she's still a teenager. Mostly, however, she's drawn with a more realistic build.
* OddFriendship[=/=]IntergenerationalFriendship: with Emma Frost. Lampshaded:
-->'''Irma Cuckoo''': Jean Grey and Emma Frost are friends now.\\
'''ComicBook/IllyanaRasputin''': That is the scariest thing I've ever heard. And I grew up in hell, [[ExactWords literally]].
** Later with ComicBook/OldManLogan as of ''ComicBook/ExtraordinaryXMen''
* PowerGlows: [[spoiler:Her new powers make her glow completely in psionic energy]].
* PowerIncontinence: Jean's telepathy manifests early as a result of the stress of time travel and finding out about the future, and she frequently has to fight to keep thoughts out of her head. [[spoiler:Eventually it causes her to gain a whole new power by combining her two powers]].
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Her costume in ''ComicBook/ExtraordinaryXMen''. Best seen [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/extraordinary_x_men_vol_1_3_textless.jpg here]].
* SensualSpandex: Semi-regularly, particularly as drawn in ''X-Men: Blue''.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Quentin Quire, of all people, when he shot her with psychic gun (which can't kill people, but mindrapes them and transports their conscience to Quentin's MentalWorld) to force her to fight her way out of it.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Manages this in her solo series, when fighting alongside the Odinson and being frustrated at the lack of a 'big frigging magic hammer'. When she accidentally creates a large warhammer from her powers, in the same vein as Psylocke's psi-weapons, she asks, startled, what it is. Odinson replies [[DeadpanSnarker somewhat drily]] that it looks to him like 'a big frigging magic hammer.'
* StealthMentor: Odinson, of all people, who [[ObfuscatingStupidity pretends to be unbelievably drunk and prone to going on drunken rambles about the glory days]] in the midst of a fight with an army of orcs, as part of teaching her what she wants to learn from him.
* StrongButUnskilled: She's an extremely powerful telekinetic and telepath, but she has difficulty co-ordinating the two abilities in the heat of battle and so she got punked by the [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Wrecking Crew]] in Japan. She's also a hot-head and sometimes thinks with her fists, she got called on it by a Goblin Queen-incarnation of Madelyne Pryor: "Sweetie, that's why we have powers" (before blasting Jean after Jean tried to punch her).
* SupernaturallyYoungParent: She's from the past and Rachel is from the future, so it's a given. Rachel even calls her "Baby Momma" sometimes. Let's not even talk about Cable.
* SuperWeight: Starts at a high Type 2, quickly progressing to solid Type 3, then, following ''The Trial of Jean Grey'', seems to have settled at high Type 3/low Type 4.
** Following ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', as demonstrated in her solo series and the ''Generations'' one-shot - in the former, she fights the Phoenix (ultimately unsuccessfully [[spoiler: except actually kind of successfully. She sort of bullies it into resurrecting her]]), and in the latter, she stunned Galactus (granted, she drained the power to do it from everyone and everything around her, including Phoenix!Jean, the planet they were on, and Galactus himself). While it mostly surprised him, it also earned his respect.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For ComicBook/HopeSummers, who ''is'' a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for the still-deceased Modern Jean Grey. Once Hope's storyline needed reason to exist was over, she was taken out of the main ''X-Men'' comic books and was "transferred" to ''Uncanny X-Force'' to reunite with her adopted father Cable, and Teen Jean appears to take her place. Just like Hope, Teen Jean is a teenaged girl raised in a different time (this time though, the past) who has the traditional Jean Grey look, [[{{Tsundere}} has a similar personality]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold and tendency to be a brat]] [[TookALevelInKindness (at first)]], has a lot of story focus with the bulk of the current conflict in the books revolving around her presence, and is slowly learning just how powerful she is. In short, Jean Grey is the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to her ''own'' SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute.
** The two eventually meet in ''Jean Grey'' and, ironically SpeakInUnison when remarking that they can't understand why people think they look alike (despite looking identical). Of course, Jean also has shorter hair by this time, so they don't look ''that'' identical.
* SwappedRoles: Kitty Pryde, who was 13 and a half when she joined the X-Men, studied under Jean and learned techniques for handling telepathic issues. Now she's an adult, teaching 16-year-old Jean from the past those same techniques.
* TookALevelInBadass: Several. First, she develops telepathy and pretty quickly gets a basic degree of control over it. Second, her telekinesis gets more powerful and more precise. Third, during ''The Trial of Jean Grey'', she [[spoiler: unlocks a new level of her powers]] and takes ''Gladiator'' in a straight fight. Fourth, she matches, then overpowers, Xorna [[spoiler: who is either her BadFuture self or a psychic puppet/projection of Kid Xavier]] in a psychic duel after the latter had beaten Emma Frost and the Stepford Triplets at the same time.
** By the time of her solo series, she's comfortably taking on an army of Reavers with her granddaughter, Hope, taking down a sea monster that had put Namor on the floor (admittedly, it had unexpectedly poisoned him) and actually impressing him, and battling an army of orcs alongside the Odinson after climbing a mountain in Jotunheim just to find him.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Due to her TraumaCongaLine, she brainwashes Warren into submission ''twice''! And now in ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' she manipulates Teen Scott by flattering him (after kissing Hank) to help her stay in the present, which might cause a BadFuture (events would prove that this was the right decision, if not made for the right reasons). She gets better afterwards.
* TookALevelInKindness: Following ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' and ''ComicBook/TheTrialOfJeanGrey'', as a result of her acceptance of her powers.
* TraumaCongaLine: Jean, a 16 year old girl, has her powers blooming early, with her attempts to deal with Power Incontinence adding to her troubles. She finds out she is going to die (repeatedly) and is, as far as she knows, still dead, while her teammates survive to the current day.
** And then she finds out that her future self (as in her future self if she stays in the present) is insane and evil, then saw her die, then find out that she might just have been a psychic projection all along and ''then'' she gets kidnapped by the Shi'ar Imperial Guard and put in front of a KangarooCourt.
* WhatTheHellHero: Twice.
** In issue 8, she modifies Teen Angel's behavior after he, understandably, [[FreakOut panics]] and tries to go back home. When Hank tries to call her out on this, she responds with "Henry, don't you of all people start lecturing me on using your God-given things for selfish purposes."
** Then Jean gets it again after her meltdown when Angel leaves, and this time, takes it onboard.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Teenage Scott and Jean are stuck in the "unresolved sexual tension" phase due to the way their adult counterparts ruined their marriage. At the end of ''X-Men: Blue'', they eventually resolve it.
[[/folder]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's sweet, motherly and level-headed. Unless you wrong her or her loved ones seriously. Then, you're in for a ''world'' of psychic pain.
* BigGood: Like her husband, she is pretty much the Paragon of mutantkind to whom everybody looks up, also post-mortem.

** Presumably killed by Trevor Fitzroy's sentinels along with Hellions, and Emma Frost who fell into coma. Jean instead transferred her psyche into Emma's comatose body. She was eventually transferred back into her own body, who was only brain-dead at the time, by Xavier.

* DeathIsCheap: Though wrongly assumed to be her main trait, she is still a comic book superhero.

** She's one of many people who is temporarily erased from existence by ComicBook/{{Thanos}} in ''ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet''. Along with everyone else, she gets restored later on.

* FormFittingWardrobe: Her Phoenix costume, X-Factor costumes, and 90s costume, all accentuate her voluptuous yet muscular body and MostCommonSuperpower.

** She and Teen Scott were in love until they got to the future. Now she's not so sure she wants him anymore given what she knows about who/what he grows up to be, while he's still smitten, thinking that their eventual wedding is "proof" they're supposed to be together.
** She and Teen Hank kiss. She instigated it on top of that. The events of ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' cause a little fallout, and they're still not sure what's going on between them. At the end of the first volume they give an actual relationship a try, but she ultimately decides they're BetterAsFriends during the TimeSkip.

* OddFriendship / IntergenerationalFriendship: with Emma Frost. Lampshaded:

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For ComicBook/HopeSummers, who ''is'' a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for the still-deceased Modern Jean Grey. Once Hope's storyline needed reason to exist was over, she was taken out of the main ''X-Men'' comic books and was "transferred" to ''Uncanny X-Force'' to reunite with her adopted father Cable, and Teen Jean appears to take her place. Just like Hope, Teen Jean is a teenaged girl raised in a different time (this time though, the past) who has the traditional Jean Grey look, [[{{Tsundere}} has a similar personality]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold and tendency to be a brat]] [[TookALevelInKindness (at first), has a lot of story focus with a big bulk of the current conflict in the books revolving around her presence, and is slowly learning just how powerful she is. In short, Jean Grey is the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to her ''own'' SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Teenagers Scott and Jean are stuck in the "unresolved sexual tension" phase due to the way their adult counterparts ruined their marriage. As of ''X-Men: Blue'', they're leaning increasingly close to resolving that tension.

* PrettyInMink: She once bought a white fur coat after she lost her old winter coat, and she was so excited that she didn't even want the salesman to wrap it up. She just wore it out of the store, gushing about how soft it felt.
** The first time we saw her mother, Elaine, she was wearing a brown mink coat. Even a 90s retelling of the X-Men's early years still showed her wearing the coat.

** She's got a bit more of this towards [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], since while he's probably the strongest mutant in the Marvel Universe (possibly excepting Franklin Richards), having the raw power of the Dark Phoenix at ''17'', his powers were prone to switching off at inappropriate moments or slowly trying to kill him.
