exploring the origins of Jean Grey
otherwise known as marvel girl professor
can L fix
as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we’ve
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
which unfolded in 1963 s uncanny x-men
number one and was then expanded upon in
issues 100 101 and 135 which was then
further explored in 2008 x-men origins
Jean Grey in her first appearance Jean
Grey first arrived at the x-men mansion
while the original team trained a new
student the otherwise all-male school
went crazy over the stunning yet
ordinary looking redhead meeting Charles
Xavier gray mentioned how strange it was
that he had managed to convince her
parents to blindly enroll her in his
private school it was at that time that
Xavier revealed his true Mutant identity
and that he was able to identify her
powers with his special gift
he further revealed that she would
become a member of the very exclusive
program with only a small handful of
students and would be called one of the
x-men as she too had an extra power upon
meeting the other students and being
told their code names she was given her
own that of Marvel Girl instantly
gaining the affection of the men Cyclops
in particular she demonstrated her power
to move objects through telekinesis she
and the rest of the team were then told
their true purpose to help mankind to
achieve coexistence with mutants this
they would achieve by battling against
the evil mutants led by Magneto adorning
her Marvel girl outfit for the first
time she went out with the team on their
first mission foiling Magneto’s plans by
using her powers to destroy a missile
eventually she gained the power of
telepathy much like Professor X with
this change being attributed to the true
scope of her powers having been
suppressed throughout her life meanwhile
she’d become romantically involved with
Cyclops while Wolverine constantly vied
for her affection which spurred a love
triangle that would become a mainstay of
the series however the biggest change to
the character occurred at the very end
of issue 100 when the original team was
made to fight its newest members by a
madman though the team overcame this
challenge they realized that they were
trapped on a space station about to be
destroyed by a solar flare as a result
Jean sacrificed herself by piloting a
shuttle whose cockpit was exposed to the
radiation
the team the chance they needed to make
it back to earth alive incredibly the
radiation didn’t kill her instead Jean
Grey emerged from the wreckage at sea
radically changed with her powers
reaching new unseen levels calling
herself to Phoenix she retained her old
memories but emerged as an altogether
different person describing herself as
fire and life incarnate before slipping
unconscious when Jean finally awoke the
suppressed powers inside her took over
and this new identity became the evil
known as Dark Phoenix the most powerful
mutant ever encountered
the Dark Phoenix wanted nothing but to
destroy every connection to Jeanne’s
former life before leaving to outer
space to become a force threatening the
galaxy these events were finally
showcased albeit with major changes in
the x-men films there in the films
preserved her status as one of the first
x-men students as well as her love
triangle with Cyclops and Wolverine you
gonna tell me to stay away from me girl
if I had to do that she wouldn’t be my
girl
the film’s are notable for showing
Xavier effort to enroll a young Jean and
suppress her powers before her death
rebirth and eventual defeat as Venus

Jean Grey has managed to return to the
franchise continuing to appear in
various media she even made a return to
the film franchise appearing in 2013’s
