| I came here hoping for a link to info on her sister Sara Grey, because Sara doesn't have her own page. There was no mention of Sara, John or Elaine. I added a brief paragraph to the beginning of the biography section that simply states she was born to John and Elaine, and the younger sister of Sara, and links to each of them. Seems like there should be a link to these minor characters somewhere in this article. The alternative would be a side box with a list of family members and links, or a link to a Grey-Summers family tree, if such a page exists. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 13:37, 13 March 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

| ::::I disagree that it doesn't meet the criteria. The background is not white, but it is relatively neutral. The image is not a 3/4 profile, but rather full frontal perspective. On all other counts, it meets the criteria perfectly. Oh, I guess her hair is slightly obscured by the logo. It is a classic and iconic image of Phoenix. It is probably one of the images most closely associated with Phoenix in the minds of any fan familiar with the history of the character (with the possible exception of a few Byrne images). | |||
| :::::The fact that the logo obscures the character, her face is up and not forward or 3/4ths, the comic decals cover the extremities and that the other characters are involved in a sizable chunk of the image are problematic. It's essentially a good image of the comic, or the storyline, but not the most appropriate for a basic image of the character. I've found a better image that meets allt he requirements.

| She is Not In The "kings & Queens" book, isbn: 1-903817-21-8 | |||
| == Psychokineticist??? == | |||
| Is "psychokineticist" even a word (in reference to ])? Shouldn't it be "psychokinetic" (like it used to be "telekinetic" as in "Jean is a telekinetic" not a "telekineticist")? | |||
| ::In my experience, Marvel has always used "telekinetic" in the mainstream continuity, and "psychokinticist" in the Ultimate line only. ] (]) 01:14, 12 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == DEAD ? == | |||
| Ok I love the X-men comics, but come on Marvel give Jean a break, she has died to many time? | |||
| but my real question is does anyone know if she is returning (with X3 being made it has to be soon) | |||
| * Dead god I hope not. Let her stay gone this time. Also, she doesn't have to come back becomes her film counterpart isn't dead. | |||
| * Actually, that is incorrect. She is officially in X3, turning out to be the Dark Phoenix, even turning bullets upon Magneto. I believe Famke is doing a FANTASTIC job of portraying her. Anyway, I think she should come back and just be back for like twenty years. | |||
| ==Endsong== | |||
| Ok, the new edited section on Endsong is better in terms of length, but in terms of style is just as bad as the previous version. Can someone who's read the issues clean this up? I'll do it if no one else will, but I'd prefer an informed writer do it. ] 07:24, 4 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ==Endsong(cont.)== | |||
| On a related note to Endsong, can anyone add to the articles the issues in which this takes place? or is this a seperate mini-series altogether? | |||
| :It was a five issue miniseries. --] 01:53, 4 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Slight change in wording == | |||
| Jean Grey was not, as the article claimed, the "one true host" of the Phoenix Force. A scan of an ''Excalibur'' issue proves that Rachel was called that at one point, however. Perhaps there was confusion. In any case, it was an inaccurate statement so I modified it. | |||
| :She is the 'true host' of the Phoenix Force, shown in Endsong when Phoenix declared, "You and I are One." I agree that she is not the 'one true host', but she is the 'true host'. | |||
| ::Uh... if Endsong doesn't call her the "true host" (whatever the heck that even means), then you can't really use Endsong as evidence that she is this "true host." So she and the Phoenix Force are "One..." that doesn't imply anything about "true host-ness," it just implies they've merged. ] 23:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| To me the quote "you and I are one" means that Jean = Phoenix, and vice versa! It is her destiny, according to the writer of Endsong in a recent interview about the sequel to Endsong. | |||
| == Powers and Abilities == | |||
| "Phoenix can also (though she never did this) revive, absorb, rechannel and preserve any kind of lifeform." I disagree; Phoenix has revived Jean Grey's body, shown in Endsong. I removed the parenthetical note. | |||
| "Jean is considered to be one of the Earth's most powerful telepathic minds. It has been stated that Jean Grey's powers outclass the most powerful telepathic mutant, Professor X due to her cosmic class powers. " I disagree with this. Charles Xavier has repeatedly been referred to as the most powerful telepath in the world. Jean doesn't outclass him, but the Phoenix does. It is, after all, a cosmic entity. ] 21:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)jealousghost 11/15/06 | |||
| : News flash. Jean is an '''OMEGA-LEVEL''' telepath. What don't you people get without that. While he is way more experienced than Jean, Jean is stronger than him. With Phoenix, Jean's psychic powers are astronomical beyond Omega-level mutantcy. ] (]) 21:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::It's been directly stated in numerous comics published by Marvel over the years that Xavier is the stronger telepath. If she's "stronger than him," there needs to be a source that verifies that (not implies it). Otherwise, it's an opinion. --] (]) 18:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Phoenix revived Jean Grey in the cartoon series too, after she had been obliterated by the Shi'ar. Phoenix did this by taking a portion of "flame" or "radiance" from other x-men. | |||
| She did revive her, regardless of how she did it. ] 14:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == A bit unwieldy == | |||
| This article is 43 kilobytes, maybe it's a time for it to get condensed a little. ] 10:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Minor Edits == | |||
| I tried to condense and rearrange. There was a paragraph in Romance about her attending the university, even though it didn't have any real relevance to her romances. I condenced the paragraph to a sentence. | |||
| The Phoenix section is really difficult to revise, considering it is one of the biggest aspects of Jean's life. I left it lengthy, and I urge others to do so as well. | |||
| == Jean's name is Jean == | |||
| {I deleted an obscene and contentless comment}. | |||
| Jean Grey's primary name is "Jean Grey" not "Phoenix" so please use Jean Grey to refer to the character. Here are two quotes and a dialogue that show the importance of Jean simply being Jean. | |||
| Jean: "You might believe that. But I've already LIVED my worst nightmare...MORE than ONCE. Would you like me to SHARE it with you? In my worst nightmare...I'm JUST myself. Not the PHOENIX. Not MADELYNE PRYOR. Not even MARVEL GIRL. I'm JUST Jean Grey...one of the most POWERFUL PSI'S on the PLANET. The frightening thing is, in my dream, I'm not afraid to LOSE MYSELF in my mutant ability. I CUT LOOSE. Completely. THAT'S my worst nightmare. SEE?" (Uncanny X-Men #300) | |||
| Wolverine: Jean, these kids don't know what's what, but you and me, we've seen it all before. You ain't here as anybody's servant...yer the Phoenix. Yer an A-grade telekinetic talent tapped into a cosmic power source. But yer still Jean Grey-Summers! (New X-Men 154) | |||
| Jean: I'm going now, Scott. I'm so scared... | |||
| Scott: Who are you? | |||
| Jean: ... Jean. Jean Grey. | |||
| Scott: That's right, you're Jean Grey, and always will be. No matter what happens, no matter where you go or how you grow or what the cosmos tell you. (Phoenix Ensong #5) | |||
| ] 03:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| But her codename is still Phoenix. When she wasn't connected to the Phoenix force, she still adopted the codename Phoenix after ''The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix'' to honor Rachel (who assumed the mantle of Phoenix in her abscence). She also assumed the identity to empower herself. She never quit her using her codename. And consider that in Morrison's ''New X-Men'' storyline, Jean is referred to as the Phoenix by friends, enemies, and even in the character roll-call. The Phoenix Force itself tells Professor X, that "Jean is the only house where I live". In Endsong she tells the Phoenix Force "I'm you". Also, in every alternate Marvel reality, Jean is Phoenix. In 2005's ''What If'', Professor X says that the comatose teenage Jean is a force that resonates through the multiverse, and when she awakens from her coma, she is Phoenix. Jean is the Phoenix, always was, always will be. ] 04:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Jean's current codename is Phoenix but her original codename was Marvel Girl. But Jean Grey is the name that sticks with her throughout her comic book history, in X-Men videogames, X-Men movies, X-Men cartoons, etc. The title of the article is also Jean Grey not Phoenix. Also, why do you want to use that picture of Jean from X-Men: The End as the main picture. I think that should be moved to the X-Men: The End section (which doesn't exist yet). X-Men: The End is non-canonical, and also has more than one Phoenix. | |||
| {{tld|spoiler-about|(X-Men: The End Vol. 3 Issue 5)}} | |||
| Now and forever -- -- Cassandra Nova is Phoenix! (after she blasts a hole through Jean's chest) | |||
| So there's only one Jean Grey in the comics, and several Phoenixes. Jean Grey is her most unique, most established, and most frequent label, and it should be used first and Phoenix second. But I'll hold off editing Phoenix back to Jean Grey until this discussion is over. | |||
| ] 05:25, 18 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :her current codename *is* Phoenix (she's still kinda dead right). rachel grey is also phoenix. it was revealed jean grey is the "white phoenix." the name of the article is Jean Grey. i think this article should very much start like ]'s. | |||
| :"Jean Grey is the fictional ] and ] in the ]. She has used several ], including Phoenix and Marvel Girl, as a fouding member of the ]." | |||
| :etc etc. | |||
| :why refer to her as phoenix when ] doesn't even redirect here. plus, cassandra nova is the phoenix... now and forever! ] 11:57, 18 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| OMG, a Jean discussion! Can I say a few things? Cool. Jean's not dead, she's off finding the remains of the Phoenix Force that the Shi'ar scattered (see Endsong # 5). C. Nova's only the Phoenix in the ''X-men the End'' (which is an alternate future, and she merged which Rachel, not Jean). I think that the ] page refers soley to Phoenix Force. Rachel isn't Phoenix, she lost the force back in ''Cable'', and is Marvel Girl now. And the Official x-men website www.uncannyxmen.net has Jean's profile under "Phoenix IV" . But, the biggest thing is when you have the Phoenix Force, you become Phoenix. They've pretty much established in Endsong that Jean IS the Phoenix Force. Thanks for letting me rant, see ya :) ] 14:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Again... there are several different Phoenixes who have run around the Marvel U, but (discounting alternate versions from alternate universes) only one Jean Grey. Rachel might not be calling herself Phoenix these days but she's sure manifesting the Phoenix effect a lot in ''Uncanny X-Men'' right now, plus the Shi'ar just went after her and her family because of her connection to the Phoenix Force. On top of all that, Jean went by Marvel Girl for about two decades and since being resurrected has, on top of sometimes choosing to go by Phoenix, also chosen Marvel Girl as an alias on top of choosing to have no superheroic alias at all. Yet she has never chosen not to call herself Jean Grey, nor do I think a good argument can be made (especially given the quotations above) that she thinks of herself as (the) Phoenix first and Jean Grey second. Phoenix is the codename, the alias, Jean is who she is. I'm not saying that doesn't mean she isn't merged with the Phoenix Force or that she doesn't have access to the Phoenix Force or whatever but all the stories regarding her struggles with the Phoenix Force are specifically about how it is her humanity, her being, her "Jean Grey-ness" which keeps it in check. So she should be referred to as Jean Grey, with a list of her various aliases, especially in this article. Given there's copious, copious amounts of information in the ] and ] articles detailing Jean's relationship with the Phoenix Force, I think that's only reasonable. ] 18:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :One small point here: Not everyone keeps up with all the latest developments in comic books. When I stopped reading more than a decade ago, another character was known as the Phoenix (I don't honestly remember the other woman's name, though), not Jean Grey. At the time the going storyline was that Jean had been replaced by the Phoenix Force, so she had never truly been the Phoenix at all. Stick with Jean Grey, as it just makes more sense to a wider group of possible readers. ] 20:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Don't know if this makes any sense as I'm not a big fan, but: how about referring to Jean as 'Jean' when discussing her pre-transformation; and then use 'Phoenix' when referring to her post-transformation? ~ ] 23:53, 21 May | |||
| 2006 (UTC) | |||
| I think what some people are forgetting here is that when Jean first manifested the Phoenix powers after saving the X-Men from the radiation, Jean reached her ultimate potential as a mutant. All of the psychic blocks were torn down and she became a being of pure thought/energy. The reason that they changed things was because Marvel's editors didn't think that stripping her of her powers at the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga was a just punishment for commiting genocide. So the whole convoluted Phoenix impersonating Jean came about so that they could bring her back and absolve her of the actions of the Phoenix. Now they seem to be coming back on track and making Jean and Phoenix one and the same. The way that it should have been all along. ] (]) 22:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Well, it's true that Jean's name is Jean. Her birth name is Jean Grey, but how about her codename? She took it herself after she had encountered Rachel in the future, and now Rachel and Jean are changing codenames (Rachel used to be Phoenix and Jean used to be Marvel Girl. Jean took Phoenix codename in honor for Rachel, and Rachel took Marvel Girl codename in honor of Jean.). Some quotations refer to her Phoenix codename, like in Phoenix Endsong. When she encounters Wolverine, Wolverine asked whether she is Jean or Phoenix, she stated: "I am always Jean Grey and always the Phoenix." When she rises from the ice, Phoenix Force thought that she would be helpless without its aid. But Jean stated: "I'm you; don't you remember? Now get out of that stupid body!". And Phoenix Force itself takes the physical appearance of Jean for its image. They are now inseparable characters, as they have ultimately merged. Rachel herself stated that Jean is the Phoenix, as she said: "I'm not my mother. I'm not Phoenix. I'm my own woman... and before I'm done... they'll wish I were the Phoenix." That makes Jean Grey-Summers is Phoenix. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 14:19, 7 August 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| == Jean SHB pic == | |||
| ]: Again we have a tug-of-war with another SHB pic. Since it worked so well on the ] page, perhaps a third-party opinion would help. Maybe we could use Jean's last official appearance from ''Endsong''? It's a current pic, it shows Jean's humanity, and its still art by Greg Land.

| Of course YOU don't agree. And your info is totally false. ''Endsong'' is part of the mainstream continuity. Rachel even mentions the events of endsong in ''Uncanny X-Men''.

I can see where you feel abused (and rightly so), and I am sure had I been the one getting called names, I would be less than thrilled about allowing MetaStar to keep his pics up while yours get taken down. My only complaint is the thing about ] being "suspicious", she is my cousin (she was on my computer just a few hours ago, and she thought you were calling her a sockpuppet), and spent a lot of time on wikipedia with me, so she saw all of edit wars on Jean and Rachel's articles (I said I wasn't getting into it, but she really wanted to help out) ] 00:47, 23 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

| {{tld|spoiler}} | |||
| At the end of the X3 section, there is some speculation regarding whether Wolverine stabs Jean with his claws, or a cure needle. I don't know if this is necessary. The only physical object near Jean that wasn't being atomized was Wolverine himself, because adamantium is indestructible, and his body was regenerating fast enough. The cure needle would have suffered the same fate. | |||
| Just checking if there are any objections. ] 07:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Yes, Wolverine stabs Jean with his claws. Otherwise she wouldn't be dead at the end of the movie. The cure needle would not have killed her. But we see Jean Grey's tombstone along with Scott Summers'. ] 07:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::I think the argument is she said "save me, " wolverine cures her, and they fake her death so the human's won't come looking for her. I think it would be better if she's dead.

| :: Technically, Jean has only died once in New X-Men #150, which I must mention was upsetting. I know that Jean remembers "her death" on the death but it wasn't Jean who died.

| Given that Jean Grey has died many times in the comices, just because she was stabbed in the chest by Wolverine (which is the most loced character and i don't get why) it is ver possible that she can come back to life.

| == X3: Phoenix Speculation (SPOILER WARNING) == | |||
| "However, the Phoenix is also probably an external cosmic force that inhabited her and tapped into her unlimited potential, as many a time in X2, she displayed the fiery energy of the Phoenix in her eyes, and most notably, she appeared to be engulfed in flames at the end just before she supposedly drowned. Another fact that further proves this is the fact that the faint outline of a Phoenix was seen flying over the waters of the Alkali Lake, at the end, just before the credits came out. It is the Phoenix who kills Scott (Cyclops) and later Xavier." | |||
| I think the above is speculation trying to make what we know about Jean from X-Men comics fit with the events in X3. Yes we see hints of Phoenix in Jean's eyes and in the water but this is not proof that Jean is possesed by an alien force. We know that the movies resemble to comics but need not adhere to them directly. If there are future movies they will have to decide how to treat this but God knows that there are so many Universes and lifetimes of Jean you could almost do anything and it would have been on one book or another. | |||
| ] 20:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| The above has been cleaned up quite a bit ans its a lot better. I still have to nit pick though. | |||
| "In X-Men: The Last Stand, she appears in a form similar to Dark Phoenix, but is merely called the Phoenix and exhibits Phoenix-level powers." | |||
| I agree that Jean definitely makes the transition to Dark Phoenix or something a lot like that in X3. However, much like many characters in this movie (Kitty, Colossus, to name 2) their hero names are not used. I don't think anyone refers to Jean as Phoenix in this or any of the X* movies at least not verbally. If I'm just splitting hairs just tell me. We all know who she is so perhaps it doesn't matter. | |||

| ::Professor X refers to her has phoenix, or at least mentions the Phoenix alter ego when shes unconscious. There are alternate versions of the House battle Phoenix vs Xavier, and it has psychic voices on it, in the psychic dialogue, Jean looses control to the Phoenix, and she says in a "screechy" voice. "Now and forever...I am PHOENIX." This is also the only time where Phoenix is talked to directly, and refered to by name. (Professor addresses her with telepathy and says "Phoenix!!

| == Image problems == | |||
| The point has been made on the Wikiproject talk page that this article is having image trouble, featuring poorly illustrative images than run close to violating Fair Use, and focusing on newer images and images of Phoenix rather than Jean Grey. I'd like to work with others to redress this. First of all, I would like to see a solo picture of Jean Grey in the SHB, not Phoenix. Personally, I'd like to see her in the last X-Men uniform she wore, with the grey sweater and the black leather jacket. Thoughts? --] 00:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :I actually disagree, though I see the need for some kind of solution on this issue. All other issues aside, I think the last picture we had was very illustrative of Jean Grey in many of her incarnations over the past several decades, focusing on the role for which she is best known: Phoenix. Frankly, the Phoenix and the Dark Phoenix saga are defining events in Jean Grey's character, and it is absolutely justifiable to put an image of Phoenix in the SHB. Like I said, though, I like the previous one because it wasn't ONLY Phoenix that was in the picture. The Phoenix costume is synonymous with Jean Grey like no other costume is. | |||

Even though I had no part in the child's conception, genetically he would be my son.

| ::::::What are you guys smoking? Clones are artificial identical twins but are exact spinoffs of the original. Jean is Cable's mother. In the cloning process, the person takes the egg out of a woman, removes every drop of genetic material in it and places the genetic material of someone's body cell, for example Jean's, and inserts it within the egg. They let the egg and zygote material get situated before they insert it into the host mother who delivers the baby, Madelyne, who turns out to an precisely exact copy of the the donor, Jean. So both Jean and Madelyne are both Cable's birth mother but Jean actually raised him along with Scott between the time Madelyne died in Inferno and Cable was infected by Apocalypse's T.O. virus and had to go into the future, raised him more for like 13 years as Redd Dayspring, and when he came back to the present resumed her maternal duties. So, Jean has been more of a mother to Cable than Madelyne ever was but that isn't Madelyne's fault. If you had to name one mother of Cable it would have to be Jean because of that even though Madelyne gave birth to him. ] (]) 21:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC) | |||

| I do not think it is appropriate to list Jean's Status as "Deceased". At the end of Phoenix: Endsong, she disappeared to some place (most likely the White Hot Room but not explicitly stated).

I'm rejecting "Active (in unseen ways)" and "Deceased" as the comics do not support these. --] 07:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Wouldn't it be better to say "Unknown?" Inactive makes it sound like she's one of those characters who didn't really die but was just forgotten because none of the readers liked them, which is definitely not true with Jean Grey. She's very active in the storylines, even if she's not actually there; in this way, Inactive is a little misleading. And since we're not totally sure what the White Hot Room is--if it's some kind of death, or something else altogether--Unknown seems more appropriate. Thoughts? -] 07:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Some observations == | |||
| I don't feel this article has dealt well with the Morrison/Pak retcons (or the Claremont retcons he did in Classic X-Men backup stories) that have re-retconned the original Phoenix into being Jean as opposed to a cosmic copy. In Here Comes Tomorrow it shows that Jean returns to life via a coccoon/Phoenix egg after she dies (just like in Jamaica Bay) in the last place she perished (in this case, the blue area of the moon). In Endsong it identifies Jean as being Phoenix even without the Phoenix Force. When Jean originally merged with the Phoenix on the shuttle, it didn't transfer a "portion of Jean's soul" into the new body - it transferred all of her soul except a small spark. New body, same soul = same character. Also, it never said that the Phoenix force was what gave Jean back her TK in Morrison's run or that Scott's possession with Apocalypse gave Jean the push she needed to accept being the avatar of the Phoenix. Not sure where those ideas came from. | |||

| == X1-X2-X3 == | |||
| Is it worthwhile mentioning that the events in X-men The movie, caused the emergence of Phoenix at the end of X-men 2, and the full blown release of Phoenix within X-3. So far I havent seen anyone state the cause of the mental blocks breaking down on the wiki article. | |||
| X-men 1, she had blocks in her mind, placed by Xavier when she was a kid, Near end of Episode, she experiences trauma as result of using Cerebro. | |||
| X-men 2 - She is having moments of increased power, and states that this has been occuring since events surrounding Liberty Island, we have no idea of how much time has passed between films though. | |||
| X-men 3 - Her mental blocks are gone, and shes kinda angry at Xavier... Understandibly. Her powers released due to the events of X-men 1. | |||
| Im surprised no one has mentioned or made reference to this, I have seen other people however, saying that it was the radiation which caused Phoenix to emerge, because in the comics Phoenix feeds on Radiation. This is however against everything we have been shown in the movie, since Jean had the powers before the radiation as a girl, and radiation wouldnt unblock mental barriers as much as a big Telepathic machine tearing them away would. ] 13:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

| We can see that in X1 when she uses Cerebro, it causes visible Pain, do you think theres any room to maneuver here, to say either way if it affected her in a mental capacity? At the very least, a mention should be made in the article that Phoenix was awakened due to events from the first Movie. Whether it be Radiation from Magneto's machine as many people have posted on message boards about, or Cerebro, which is more likely, since it affects the mind, and her powers arnt new, if it was caused by Radiation Mutation, that would imply she didnt have these powers to begin with. ] 12:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ===Wolverine vs Phoenix === | |||
| I have a slight problem with the article stating that Wolverine managed to kill Jean Grey in X3, Because of his healing factor alone... It makes it sound like he was superior to Jean Grey's power. I dont think she was actually trying to kill him, lets face it, if she wanted to kill him, she could have ripped his adamantium bones out of his body, as Magneto does in the commics (and Jean saves him by sustaining his body with telekinetic energy). | |||
| If Jean grey wanted to kill Logan, I dont think his healing factor would have been enough to save him from Jean Grey, had Jean Grey actually been trying to kill him. She could have thrown him into space for that matter. Is it possible for somone to try and come to a compromise here, and state that Jean Grey allowed Wolverine to get close enough to her, making him suffer as he walked. (Possibly symbolizing how much he cares for her - Walking through hell to get to her) | |||
| I just think it seems in-accurate to state that he survived soley because of his healing factor, I think Jean was testing him, and his devotion. ] 08:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Baaleos, what you say above makes sense, but you seem to forget that as a telepath, she could have just shut down his mutant powers if she really wanted him dead. In X2 she shut off Nightcrawlers ability to teleport at the end of the movie while she was communicating with Scott through Prof. X and while she was holding back the water that was crashing down on the jet. It is speculation as to why she didn't kill Logan while he was walking up to her and what you say at the end does seem to make sense in my opinion. ] (]) 00:40, 20 September 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Classic X-Men #42-earliest in Jean's life that she is shown being connected to the Phoenix. In this story preteen Jean manifests the Phoenix and touches Scotts mind in the orphanage but he thinks he is just dreaming. This event is referenced in Classic X-Men #43 by Death and in Phoenix Endsong #4 by the Phoenix itself. | |||
| X-Men the Hidden Years 8/9-- shows Marvel Girl being scanned by the Phoenix Force and she has a vision of becoming Phoenix but it fades from her memory immediately after. | |||
| Classic X-Men #43-- Jean Grey meets Death in the afterlife (later called White Hot Room) and its the first time she appears as White Phoenix (she will appear as White Phoenix later on in X-Men Forever, New X-Men #154 and Phoenix Endsong #5). | |||
| Between Inferno (X-Factor #39) and Judgment Wars (X-Factor #50) Jean had a small spark of the Phoenix energy within her. Although she didn't use it except in Marvel Presents #15 and in Judgment War where she expelled it. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 05:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| ==Messiah Complex== | |||
| Messiah Complex | |||
| Main article: X-Men: Messiah Complex | |||
| It was believed by the fandom that the baby girl born after the M-Day which led to the Messiah Complex storyline is actually Jean Grey reborn, given that she appears to be a powerful telepath that can block even Cerebra as seen when the Cuckoos couldn't track her. | |||
| The confirmation came at the end of the storyline when Cable handed the mutant baby to Cyclops. After examining the baby for several seconds, the child opens his locket, which has a picture of him and Jean inside, Scott finally recognizes her as Jean, and hands her back to Cable to escape into the future. Cable and the baby version of Jean are currently in hiding somewhere in the future. | |||

| We might have to rethink on that one, because it seems that the baby has recently been confirmed to be her or another host of the pheonix force. | |||
| It has not been confirmed that the baby is Jean, but there are a lot of things that point to her being the reincarnation, or resurection. I believe it was Matt Fraction that said "Keep an eye on a little girl in the future." Yeah, they throw out red herrings here and there, but given that Rachel and the Blade of the Phoenix have lost their powers, it seems that The Phoenix/Jean, is reconstituting itself. This is speculation, which is why I have not added it to the article. Whether it is Hope Summers, or Jean herself coming back has yet to be seen obviously. But it does lead for a lot of us to speculate on where things might go from here. ] (]) 01:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC) | |||

| ==Red Queen additions== | |||
| Until anything is actually stated, the section containing the events of Uncanny X-Men 509 - 510 is original research and speculation. Therefore, I have removed it. "Strongly suggests" only means OR/Spec and that suggestion is debatable.] (]) 01:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Since this is happening frequently, I'm going the several issues with adding the "Red Queen" section. | |||
| "Reading Uncanny X-Men 509 and seeing previews for 510 and 511": Reading 509 may give a suggestion that Jean Grey is a possible individual being described. That alone makes the information dubious--it's a suggestion, and not really a strong one. The language is ambiguous. Does Madelyne mean Jean Grey? Does she mean Emma Frost (who was "captured" in that same issue?) Regardless of the arguments for or against, the information is temporary and unclear, therefore that information does not belong here as it is original research and speculation (see ]). | |||
| Even so, the preview for Uncanny X-Men 510 only shows the X-Men fighting the Sisterhood and explains that everyone is fighting. The variant is of Psylocke. Not much there. | |||
| As previously addressed when 511 was used as the basis for another "Jean Grey returns" addition, a preview/solicitation is not sufficient basis for a factual claim on Misplaced Pages. Solicitations are frequently intentionally misleading and meant to build anticipation. A cover with Dark Phoenix on an X-Men Legacy issue lead people to believe Jean was back and that was only an issue about Xavier thinking about Dark Phoenix. That cover for 511 gives no information and means just as little as it's still only a suggestion. For all anyone knows, the plotline for that issue could be Madelyne tricking them all with a psychic attack into thinking that Jean has arisen or that she has become Jean or anything else. It's completely ambiguous. | |||
| The image that was added also does not meet ] requirements nor does the writing of that section meet the quality standards. As pointed out previously, it's sloppily written and filled with errors.] (]) 03:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :I want to reiterate the statements I made above as the continued reason not to include the solicited cover for Uncanny X-Men #511. As other editors and myself have mentioned, solicitations are not good sources. Even if they depict something happening, what one may interpret from it has no true bearing on what may happen in the comic itself. For example, on the cover of issue #510, the cover would lead you to believe that an all out brawl happens and that madelyne and Emma end up strangling each other. And of course, if you read the issue, nothing like that happens. In just the same way, the cover of #511 may depict Jean rising from her grave, but until the issue is out, that remains only an interpretation of the cover with no way to verify the accuracy of what will happen. | |||
| == External links modified == | |||
| :Though reforming the information as an out-of-universe statement seems like an okay way to mediate, I argue that it isn't. That essentially reduces the statement to "There is an isolated picture of happening." And in that way, it does not inform a reader of the article in any substantial way or further a reader's understanding. All it can be is a description of an image, that cannot have any meaning since it would be a baseless interpretation and therefore violate ]. | |||
| Hello fellow Wikipedians, | |||
| :Information on this page should be verifiable. The only way to verify what may be implied by the cover is to actually read the issue.

| :There may be other poor examples of what we're describing here on other pages, but despite that, citing other things on Misplaced Pages is never a sufficient argument. That just means that there is other bad form that should be fixed and hasn't been fixed. That's far from an argument to maintain bad form on this page. I don't watch ], so I don't know. Don't assume you're being "victimized." Jean Grey is a popular character, which means there are probably a significantly larger number of editors watching and maintaining the page than some other character, and that means that something that is deemed incorrect is more likely to get reverted and consistently so here than on a less popular and less watched page. If you are noticing these issues on other pages, then I would advise that you take the initiative to fix them (and appropriately so) as you come across them and, I can only speak for myself, I will do the same. A quick look at the page, though shows that it clearly has tags that show that it needs a lot of work and verification from legitimate sources.

| :Anyway, to respond your point, which I've already addressed before: Again, if you have noticed the same problems that we mentioned here on other pages, then you're absolutely right--they should be fixed. There could be a problem on any page on Wikipedai, like ], and if an editor sees that, he or she should take the time to fix it. But, Misplaced Pages is up to the volunteer editors to take the time to make that happen. You don't watch every Misplaced Pages comic book page out there and neither do I. I can only work on those that I actually watch and those that are brought to my attention here ]. So if YOU see a problem, don't use it as an excuse to let another problem on another page stay. Fix it or throw an appropriate tag on the page or section so another editor with the time and initiative can take a look at it and fix it. "That's bad, so it's okay for this to be bad too" is far from a sufficient argument. That only means another article needs to be fixed. You may want to check out the links I've posted below. If you want to look through the Misplaced Pages manual of style and find precedent to support your argument that the solicitation should stay, like I and other editors have to you, then feel free to.

| :While the image I added is new, chronologically (its from the recent Phoenix Resurrection mini-series), the way Jean is depicted is not. That's her look from Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, and arguably one of her most iconic and wholesome looks (Green and Gold Phoenix outfit aside). The image is full body, and while the background is a bit cluttered, I wouldn't say it's that obtrusive, the flames compliment the usually very fire-oriented red head on the foreground. And if the goal here is to choose an image that perfectly represents Jean Grey in her most classic/iconic form, then you cannot '''not''' default to Phoenix-empowered Jean Grey, which MARVEL is trying to change now by separating Jean and Phoenix, which I highly endorse and support as that means Jean will finally get some new storylines and experiences that do not involve the cosmic fiery turkey and the doom and gloom that comes with it. I don't know how long it took to decide on the image you currently have, but the poll must have been very inefficient, as the end result is a poorly chosen outdated (1999) image that pays no compliments to the character and quite frankly, it might even misrepresent her. Were the other options that bad? | |||
| ==Pyrokinesis/"Cosmic" pyrokinesis== | |||
| :Not to mention that this is a Misplaced Pages article, not a Congress bill, is such extensive voting really neccesary for something so ''niche''? Besides, it's high time someone changed the image, it has been five years since it was last changed, someone needs to take charge or stagnation occurs. (I really got tired of seeing that horrible image for the past half-decade) The image I added is fabulous, as with most images that came out of the Phoenix Resurrection series, that comic had both fantastic covers and interiors, bless the artists. (even the story was quite nice) And there's really no way we can represent Jean Grey as she appears now, since she JUST came back from her 2004/5 death and the X-Men Red series hasn't started yet, so we have no images that could depict her in her current form, which I don't support, since the way she'll be depicted in the Red series (at least visually, costume wise) is horrendous. It's like they took her 80s/90s costume and just downgraded it so much that it lost everything that made it so iconic and visually appealing. Bottom line is, our best bet is choosing an image that has Jean in her New X-Men costume (the last costume she had before her death), as it is both chronologically recent (more recent than the 90s and Phoenix costumes) and modern. (mid 2000s comic style, as modern as you can get with her at the moment) | |||
| I don't disagree that the section is written poorly and lacks citations, however, some form of pyrokinesis is attributed to the powers of the Phoenix (such as in Phoenix - Warsong) and to the extent that it affects others in her vicinity (New X-Men). Therefore, it shouldn't be removed, just rewritten and properly sourced. I'll start on it when I have a second, but if anyone else wants to go ahead, please feel free.

| :Well see at that point, "silly" comes down the realm of fiction, which is what Jean Grey is, essentially. She's subject to whatever writers in Marvel want to give her/do to her. In terms of Phoenix Warsong, the Stepford Cuckoos very clearly generated fire and it was pointed out that they were using fire. The mechanics of that may just be a creative usage of telekinesis or a metaphorical use of telepathy, but until there's an official statement concerning it, if other characters or writings have dubbed it as "fire" and it interacts as such, I would move that it be added. Alone, the images of Beast recoiling and saying "Ow!" from Jean's flaming aura in new X-Men and the burned grass around her when she reappears in Phoenix Endsong seems to be enough to point out that she uses fire in some form. And again, the Cuckoos were pretty clear about generating fire (though we could always just chalk it up to it being another contradiction or sloppy writing device in that abortion of writing that was Warsong). I'll play around here and see if I can find something satisfactory. Let me know what you think when you see it.] (]) 21:19, 15 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

| :I don't see that as an improvement. There are a few other problems: | |||
| :*Licensing - Astonishing doesn't have it and that is some thing that routinely gets tagged. | |||
| :*Full sourcing - ''Both'' have trouble with this since neither specify where the file came from. Is it a cop off of another web page or is it a scan, crop, and manipulate? ''Astonishing'' also needs to cite the artist. | |||
| :*Size - Again, both have a problem here. At best the image should be 300px across. And at that size, the Land image does provide a better head and torso detail. | |||

| ::The licensing was an oversight and has been added. Other than that, I wouldn't consider a 3/4th body shot to be minor in comparison to a full body shot. The artist was cited in the superherobox before the revert, but for the sake of comprehensiveness, has been added to the image page as well as the online source of the image. Other than that, the only remaining issue seems to be the issue of size. Since both demonstrate that she has a green outfit on with a Phoenix emblem, I'm not quite sure what more detail the Land image actually offers other than shading and her navel. Whichever, but going on the guidelines, ''Astonishing'' meets them more than ''Endsong'' which is the only reason why I changed it. If the guidelines don't mean anything, then we can go ahead and leave the image as is. ::shrug::] (]) 04:04, 28 October 2009 (UTC) | |||

| I spent a lot of time streamlining the citations for the Jean Grey FCH and cleaning that mess of a section up. It's written ], since the Publication History is all out-of-universe. This is an issue I've brought up before with this page: I feel the PH section doubles as a comprehensive and generally concise FCH. However, given the character's massive history with retcons, I figured that if the FCH is to exist, it should be the canonical history, which is separate from the reality of the original PH and retcons. Unfortunately, despite my attempts, the section is still far lengthier than I would like. If another editor can take a look at it, comparing the PH with the FCH and either edit or give me some advice, I'd appreciate it. I'll be revisiting the section periodically to try to cut it down. This is especially of interest to me because of the Comic Project's recent FCH discussion. The article is high importance, and I'd like to get it into some semblance of shape...at least GA. Thanks!] (]) 23:12, 11 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

| ::I agree with you guys that she should be listed as Jean Grey in the infobox. I don't know why anyone would think Jean is "better known" as Phoenix--listing her as Phoenix just leads to confusion regarding Jean, the Phoenix Force, and the various retcons involved. I say leave all of that for the body text and just use her real name, which is what she's most often referred to as, at the top of the info box. Plus, all of the Phoenix fanatics who keep changing "Jean Grey" to "Phoenix" all over Misplaced Pages tend to also add OR stuff about cosmic fire, resurrection abilities, etc., to such an extent that all of their changes to "Phoenix" seem to me to border on OR, or at least to pushing an agenda. | |||

| ::I think the pagename itself can tell that her name is Jean Grey, and you open her page in the name of Jean Grey, unless that the name is Phoenix you all may revert it to Jean Grey. No wonder most people now think that wikipedia is an unreliable sources because of editors like these type, who based on their own opinion rather than the fact that the Jean Grey is the same with Phoenix, no matter how many times she explains in Phoenix: Endsong that she is Jean Grey, and she is the Phoenix, and she took her name in honor for Rachel. Does it really bother to just accept "Phoenix" name on small infobox? Even in games nowadays she is more known as Phoenix. Misplaced Pages is source of information, so I think people who doesn't know about X-Men/new about X-Men that this information about Jean Grey-Summers is Phoenix or any other information is important. If you want to know the true fact, let's say you should talk to Stan Lee himself. If there's no proof that Jean Grey should be Jean Grey, let's put it that the name is Phoenix since she stated it herself in Phoenix: Endsong <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 05:14, 3 February 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

True facts here, is that Jean Grey is more or less known as Phoenix, even in most video games, movie, cartoon series, etc. I say true facts because of 2 facts from the comic: 1. Phoenix: Endsong where Cyclops asked whether she is Jean Grey or the Phoenix, she answers that she is both of them, the fact that Jean Grey and Phoenix Force has been an entirely same entity since then. 2. Rachel Grey stated herself in one point of the comic "I'm not the Phoenix.. I'm not my mom.." 3. Death itself has stated that Jean Grey is "The One True Phoenix". You see, for the pagename it's definitely fine with Jean Grey, that it is the page of Jean Grey as whole. But for the infobox, it should be Phoenix to give true information that Jean Grey is Phoenix. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 10:37, 4 February 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--></s> <small> Struck comment by ] - <b>]</b> 14:55, 4 February 2012 (UTC) </small> | |||

Main image (part ∞)
A user named TheTeostar has decided to replace the current image with a new image from the latest comics. However, there are issues with this:
- It took a long time to decide on the current image. There was a vote and everything. Such a consensus should not be undone lightly.
- There is a guideline called WP:CMOS#BOXIMAGE
that we have to follow when picking out the top image for superheroes. In short, we prefer images that are are full body, have a neutral background (or no background) and that it must be the most universally recognized version of the character, which is usually not the newest version.
Now, if there is a consensus that we should update to the newer style of Jean Grey, I'm fine with that, and would even help out by removing the background. But it needs to be a full body shot that shows her in her most iconic outfit and form. — trlkly 05:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- While the image I added is new, chronologically (its from the recent Phoenix Resurrection mini-series), the way Jean is depicted is not. That's her look from Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, and arguably one of her most iconic and wholesome looks (Green and Gold Phoenix outfit aside). The image is full body, and while the background is a bit cluttered, I wouldn't say it's that obtrusive, the flames compliment the usually very fire-oriented red head on the foreground. And if the goal here is to choose an image that perfectly represents Jean Grey in her most classic/iconic form, then you cannot not default to Phoenix-empowered Jean Grey, which MARVEL is trying to change now by separating Jean and Phoenix, which I highly endorse and support as that means Jean will finally get some new storylines and experiences that do not involve the cosmic fiery turkey and the doom and gloom that comes with it. I don't know how long it took to decide on the image you currently have, but the poll must have been very inefficient, as the end result is a poorly chosen outdated (1999) image that pays no compliments to the character and quite frankly, it might even misrepresent her. Were the other options that bad?
- Not to mention that this is a Misplaced Pages article, not a Congress bill, is such extensive voting really neccesary for something so niche? Besides, it's high time someone changed the image, it has been five years since it was last changed, someone needs to take charge or stagnation occurs. (I really got tired of seeing that horrible image for the past half-decade) The image I added is fabulous, as with most images that came out of the Phoenix Resurrection series, that comic had both fantastic covers and interiors, bless the artists. (even the story was quite nice) And there's really no way we can represent Jean Grey as she appears now, since she JUST came back from her 2004/5 death and the X-Men Red series hasn't started yet, so we have no images that could depict her in her current form, which I don't support, since the way she'll be depicted in the Red series (at least visually, costume wise) is horrendous. It's like they took her 80s/90s costume and just downgraded it so much that it lost everything that made it so iconic and visually appealing. Bottom line is, our best bet is choosing an image that has Jean in her New X-Men costume (the last costume she had before her death), as it is both chronologically recent (more recent than the 90s and Phoenix costumes) and modern. (mid 2000s comic style, as modern as you can get with her at the moment)

- It seems a lot of people want newer art, and that's fine. But I myself am having trouble finding any that fits the no or neutral background requirement. If someone can find one, that would be great. But the latest replacement had so much background that there was no way I could remove it, and it cut off her legs.
- Such an image has to exist. I just don't have access to many comics to find one. — trlkly 07:30, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- The new image is not even a modern image, as nowadays she's not "Phoenix" anymore, but just plain old Jean Grey. There's a textless image here, but it's better suited for X-Men Red. Cambalachero (talk) 14:55, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Jean Grey's image - Proposition
Should the page use a different image for Jean Grey ? The current one is depicting her as the Dark Phoenix, but she is not in this form every time she appears in the comics. Would it be more appropriate to move this one under "Powers and abilities" and replace it with a new image ? Higher Further Faster (talk) 20:49, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
