Jean Grey is a minifigure in the Marvel Super Heroes theme.
Background[]
When she was only ten years old, Jean Grey's life changed forever when her best friend Annie Richardson was struck by a car. This traumatic experience inadvertently awakened Jean's latent telepathic powers, the two remaining empathically linked until Annie died from her injuries. Jean isolated herself for some time afterwards, still unable to control her telepathy. Her parents were eventually directed to Professor Charles Xavier, who was secretly a mutant with his own telepathic abilities. Revealing to Jean that she was a mutant as well, he mentally blocked off her telepathy, while at the same time awakening her latent telekinesis and training her in how to use it. He could continue tutoring Jean for several years afterwards, keeping the nature of their lessons a secret from the rest of the world.
Around the time her training was finally completed, Xavier introduced her to a group of teenage mutants he'd been training as a team of superheroes, consisting of Cyclops, Iceman, Beast and Angel. With Jean joining as their fifth member, they officially became the X-Men, vowing to protect the same world that hated and feared them. As the only girl on the team, Jean was constantly the subject of their flirtations, though she found herself most drawn to the sullen and withdrawn Cyclops. The two would remain together through countless crises, ultimately marrying.
Through her time in the X-Men, Jean's family tree has also grown to include Cable, the son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor (a clone of Jean) who was raised as a freedom fighter in an alternate future. On occasion, she has also bonded to the Phoenix Force, a powerful cosmic entity that she struggles to fully control. With her telepathy long since reactivated, she continues on as a member of the X-Men, now considered one of the most powerful mutants on the planet.
