History Characters / MarvelComicsJeanGrey

* ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance'' (2012-present): Appears as a recruitable playable hero.

After Madelyne's death, Jean helps Scott care 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 rejects ComicBook/RachelSummers (who goes by the codename "Phoenix" as well and is also able to tap into the Phoenix Force) because her 'Phoenix' association reminds Jean of one of the most painful times of her life and because she feels like the universe is trying to railroad her into marrying Scott, though she immediately regrets it. Some time later, Nathan is kidnapped and infected with the 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 the 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 the 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. Characters/MarvelComicsXMan (and is essentially younger Cable), who accidentally resurrects Madelyne in a subconscious attempt to reach out to his "mother", Jean. Despite being responsible for bringing her rival back into her life, Jean parted with her son on good terms.

Scott is later possessed by Apocalypse while trying to protect Nate 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 apart, 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}} 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''.

After a period of haunting her younger self, she was [[ComicBook/PhoenixResurrection brought back to life once again (and told the Phoenix very politely, but very firmly, to leave her alone)]], and led [[ComicBook/XMenRed her own team of X-Men]]. After confronting her son, [[Characters/MarvelComicsXMan Nate Grey]], after he'd apparently pulled a complete FaceHeelTurn and [[AGodAmI come to see himself as a god]] (the truth was a little more complicated) in ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018'', she tried to talk him down and he revealed that [[spoiler: he was dying and desperately trying to do something good before he died (like save the world, whether it wanted it or not)]].

After that, like all the other X-Men she was pulled into his new reality - the ''ComicBook/AgeOfXMan''. After identifying the inconsistencies and confronting him, [[GracefulLoser Nate accepted his mistakes and released her and the other X-Men]] (some of whom [[JerkassHasAPoint felt he had a point]]), she became a key part of the [[ComicBook/XMen2019 X-Men's new status quo]] - a member of Krakoa's Quiet Council. However, after a short time of this, Jean and Scott stood down from the council, feeling their could do better as X-Men once more.

'''Jean Grey''', also known with the aliases '''Marvel Girl''', '''Phoenix''', '''Dark Phoenix''', and the '''White Phoenix of the Crown''', is a Creator/MarvelComics character and one of five original members of the ComicBook/XMen in Franchise/MarvelUniverse. As such, she is first introduced in the very first X-Men comics, that is ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' Vol. 1 #1 in 1963. She's created by Creator/StanLee and Creator/JackKirby.

* AllLovingHeroine: Most of the time, and particularly since her return in ''Phoenix Resurrection'', with the emphasis of ''ComicBook/XMenRed'' (where she leads the titular team against Cassandra Nova) being on the power of compassion. Indeed, she's at least a rival for Superman or Wonder Woman in this department. However, like them, as she also reminds people, [[BewareTheNiceOnes 'compassionate' most definitely does not mean either 'weak']] or [[GoodIsDumb 'stupid'.]]

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: In an issue of Bizarre Adventures, Jean and her older sister Sara are kidnapped from a boat by Namor villain Attuma. He intends to use them for breeding purposes. They escape using Jean's powers, but it's implied this isn't the first time Attuma has done this. Nor the last.

* 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.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Many of the X-Men have been attracted to the red-headed Jean, most notably Cyclops and Wolverine.

* {{Expy}}: Jean Grey has generated some few expies, such as ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s best friend Thara Ak-Var, a.k.a. Flamebird, a female hero who is avatar of a firebird-shaped cosmic force.

* ActionMom: Oddly enough Jean fits this despite never having actually carried a child. All her offspring, Rachel, Cable, and X-Man; are from alternate universes or timelines (although Cable was actually born in the present, but he had to be sent to the future as mentioned above. Oh, and his mom is Jean's ''clone''). That said, she considers all of them to be her children, despite having got off to a rocky start with Rachel due to her own traumas (Phoenix related issues, discomfort with memories of being married to Scott from Maddy Pryor, and feeling like the universe is railroading her into marrying him).

* {{Expy}}: Jean Grey has generated some few expies, such as ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'s best friend Thara Ak-Var, a. k. a. Flamebird, a female hero who is avatar of a firebird-shaped cosmic force.

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

* HeterosexualLifePartners: with Storm. They are best friends and even keep in contact when Storm takes several X-men and splits off to go search for Destiny’s diaries.

* LingerieScene: In Uncanny X-Men #144.

* MiniDressOfPower: Her second (and following Hickman's takeover, recent) outfit is a green dress with a miniskirt. It didn't age well, so it's now the colour scheme of the Marvel Girl outfit mixed with the style of her ''X-Men: Red'' uniform.

* MsFanservice: Jean is a very beautiful redhead who tends to wear very form-fitting costumes that highlight her very buxom breasts, long muscular yet shapely legs, ripped broad shoulders, and muscular yet voluptuous body.

** Also, it's frequently ignored by fans and writers that the though she had to fight her anti-heroic urges she was actually in control for a ''very'' long time, only becoming Dark Phoenix after Mastermind and Emma Frost put a ''lot'' of time and effort into their MoreThanMindControl of her to get her to join the Hellfire Club. It worked ''too'' well and we all know what happened next.

!!! '''First Apperance:''' ''X-Men'' #1 (September, 1963)

** Briefly with [[ObfuscatingStupidity a seemingly absolutely]] [[StealthPun hammered]] Odinson in her solo series, when looking to learn about how to fight godlike beings.

** 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.

*** And of course long yellow gloves are a standard part of many of her costumes.
