[b]Origin and Back Story:[/b]

A level 5 class mutant; who rarely arise once in a generation. Born to Professor John Grey and Elaine Grey. This fiery red head showed at an early age that she possessed extraordinary power and was very intelligent. She was the Queen Bee in high school, perfect at every aspect of education with straight A grades and also very athletic to boot. She played in all of the sports teams; hockey, softball etc. but she was mostly known for being captain of the girls’ soccer team at Belleville High. She won many trophies and awards for her sporting nature and her academic feats. She dated the most popular guy in school, Duncan for a little while. And if she had leaded a perfectly normal life she would have gone on to have a scholarship with Harvard University. 

But at the age of 15, she did not have an ordinary life. Her best friend Angie was ran over by a car, the emotional impact this created, caused Jean’s mutant X gene to kick in - at first telepathy. She felt Angie’s pain and thoughts as she died. This caused such distress to the teenage red head, so much that her other power also awakened – telekinesis. Every car on the road around them exploded into the air by an 'unknown force', which later civilians were told a freak gale force storm had hit out of nowhere. 

Later that day Professor Xavier and his then friend and colleague Eric Lehnsherr, before he formed the Brotherhood, was alerted to this phenomenon and visited the street where Jean lived. They discovered that all of the cars on the street, all garden hoses and all objects outside of the houses were levitating. The neighbours were scared and had deserted the whole street. Jean’s parents were very worried by their daughter’s weird abilities. Xavier and Eric saw unlimited potential within her. Xavier foresaw the problems of a distressed Jean being in public while Eric saw only raw power to be used against mutant haters. She had isolated herself from everyone and everything at the loss of her friend. Before they really knew what Jean was, her other school friends knew there was something weird about her after that and shunned her. Jean fell into a depression, but Xavier took her under his wing. 

Eric and Charles eventually fell out over the formation of the X-men and the inclusion of Jean grey into the midst over the team's "purpose". She was the first female member of the original founding members: Cyclops, Angel, Beast and eventually Storm as their 5th. Xavier taught her how to use her telekinetic and telepathic powers to help people and fight for mutant kind. She and Scott Summers became best friends, even to forming a telepathic link to each other, but before they could start a relationship, Jean had reached a high level of expertise in genetics (under Xavier’s tutelage) and it was time to for her to unlock her mind and go to Harvard University. The two were then separated for 5 years. 

Whilst Jean was away studying to become a doctor of genetics, she was able to keep her powers in check thankfully. Unfortunately, Scott became close to another during his depression when Jean left - Lee Forrester, unknowingly it was Emma Frost in disguise. Emma is a member of the Inner Circle, the reason why she used Scott to get close to the X-men was so she could get to Jean, their members tracked down the Phoenix Force that dwelled within her. Emma put a mental impression onto Scott as she is a telepathic mutant, she was also able to block Xavier's mental probes to come across as a normal human. This allows her to infiltrate the X-mansion as Scott's girlfriend. And so instead of Scott and Jean, the iconic mutant couple, it so became Scott and Lee.

When Jean graduated with a PhD, she was heartbroken to find Scott had moved on. But that didn’t let it stop her from becoming a senior member of the X-men and one of the most popular teachers for the newer intake of mutants. She also became the institute's medical doctor; she helped the Professor build Cerebro to seek out new mutants in need. And she was beloved by all her team mates and pupils alike. 

Now the year is 2012, Dr. Jean Grey now helps Professor Xavier recruit struggling mutants and teach them as he did for her. The Marvel All-Stars twist - Emma Frost (under another's identity) has finally got her Scott Summers and Jean is unattached, in every storyline/alternative universe Wolverine never gets the love of his life. Maybe it’s finally time he gets a HAPPY ending in this alternate world? This is for fans of the Emma/Cyclops and Jean/Wolverine couplings.

[b]Sample Story Arcs: [/b]
[b]Mr Sinister and The Savage Land[/b] – ever since Jean was young, Sinister had been obsessed with her genetic material. He wants to use her DNA to create the ultimate human. He will attempt to capture Jean. Sinister's usual base of operations lays in the Savage Land where mutant abilities are suppressed.

[b]The Phoenix Saga and the Inner Circle[/b] – we all know that eventually Jean Grey becomes the Phoenix. But we will have her as the GOOD Phoenix. Her powers allow her to generate psycho kinetic fire. And this is where Emma Frost came in; she had infiltrated the X-men to keep an eye on Jean, as a member of the Circle/Hellfire Club. As she knew, she was the one born in this generation to inhibit the Phoenix Force. Sebastian Shaw wants to get his hands on Jean all for himself.

[b]Mojovision[/b] – A sci-fi, fun storyline that we can get crazy with. Mojo is an intergalactic being that teleports people into his arena for a broadcasting show. He uses the X-men to teleport them into strange fantasy world to battle their way out alive. Maybe he wants to teleport the X-men, Spidy, F4'ers, Avengers/SHIELD heroes and Asgardians onto a far away planet in a fight for survival to battle the strongest beings in the galaxy. 

[b]The SENTINEL programme[/b] – Trask Industries are making powerful sentinels to hunt mutants, Xavier has predicted a post apocalyptic world where nobody wins. He urges the X-men to stop them before they kill all humans on the planet.

Back then, she was known as Marvel Girl.

“JEAN! WATCH OUT!” Cyclops screams across a war-torn New York city street. Jean gasps as she dodges a laser beam shot at her from behind, she managed to dodge it just in time. It came from a large spaceship. An alien invasion was being simulated in their war room. 

She turns around and throws her hand out toward the ship, it moves backward and smashes against the side of a skyscraper. “Nicely done!” Storm remarks. Jean nods toward her, she'd come a long way from not being able to control her outbursts to being able to make precision quick-thought decisions. She helped her to control her mind powers. Unfortunately, in doing so, she stole that psychic link that she had with Scott and manipulated him into thinking he had more of a link to her as she wanted Cyclops for herself. 

Cyclops' eye beam slashed straight through a spaceship, ripping it in half. Jean then puts up a forcefield of telekinetic energy around Cyclops as the other ships concentrate fire at him. “This alien invasion is a bit extreme don't you think?” Maybe she just couldn't take it that seriously. But unbeknownst to the X-men Xavier had a future premonition that involved the Shi'ar Empire. And then devised a programme that incorporated the Shi'ar ships to ready his X-men for the possibility of invasion. Humans were NOT alone in the galaxy.
 
“Perhaps. Though I do believe the Professor has his reasons.” Ororo's strong African accent echoes through her wind tunnel over the sounds of battle. Jean could use telepathy and telekinesis at the same time, that's what made her so powerful....and dangerous. Emma Frost had known she was a level 5 mutant since the Circle began to watch the Grey teenager at age 15. The Circle's objective, millenia after millenia, to seek out the 'Phoenix Force' possessors that were born every five hundred years. After the very first Phoenix Force bearer levelled an entire empire a very long time ago with a single wave of fire, the “Templars” of the time formed a secret society dedicated to stop it happening again. The Inner Circle/Hellfire Club is now headed by Sebastian Shaw at present. Emma's objective was to infiltrate the X-men and watch over Jean Grey.

Now came the real test – how much could Jean Grey handle? How much could she be pushed to the limits without breaking? Xavier HAD to know. He didn't want to do this but...he set the danger level to maximum. At this level, there was every chance the X-men could be fatally wounded. But he had faith in Jean, Scott and Storm. He reserved Warren and Hank for rescue on the sidelines. 

All of a sudden the mother ship approached the city of New York. Ten times bigger than that of the normal ships. It readied an all mighty beam blast to level the entire city. As it hit, there was an enormous gale force wind that shot toward them. Jean's only option was to shield all three of them in her protective psycho barrier. The force was incredible, she had to dig her feet into the cracked ground by pushing herself downward at the same time. She had to hold it or they would be flown back and be lost in the hurricane winds. A skyscraper falls on top of them. Now she had an incredible weight on top of her as well. 

Pushing her power to the very limits of her mind, concentrating on nothing else but survival. Showing no signs of backing down, pushing herself even further. Cyclops blasted through the forcefield and broke the skyscraper into pieces. As Jean gritted her teeth and screamed in pain that her mind was feeling right now, a small fire began to emanate from the centre of Jean's chest. Emma was half way across the city as she felt the Phoenix Force arise. With widened eyes behind a car wheel she gasps [i]'No....not now!....'[/i] She thought in horror, thinking this was it, the moment Jean would not be strong enough to contain it. And she wasn't there to supress it or absorb it. 

But Jean did not unleash the full potential of the Phoenix. The blast wave passes and the skyscraper debris crumbles to the sides of them. Jean could relax, she puts the forcefield down. Panting, she looks around, she gives the other two a thumbs up before passing out completely. The danger room powers down and Beast runs in roaring. “JEAN!!” He picks her up in his huge blue furry arms. “Thank god she's breathing”. She was smiling as she lay there unconscious. She knew she could save them from something awful. Prof X sighed with relief and hung his head down, feeling guilty he just put his prized apprentice through all that. 

Storm watches Hank take Jean away to the medic-bay with her arms holding her elbows. She was worried. Emma pulls up outside the mansion, she'd found the Phoenix Force of this era. And she was the one who was going to have to stop Jean from killing millions. She and the Circle would have to keep an even closer eye on her from now on during her upcoming Harvard days. "Now just to get in close to Scott...as Lee Forrester." Emma schemed.

Thankfully, not a day went by with any incident that Jean needed to use such a force again. That is until 2012.
