BRIEF HISTORY

Jean first discovered her mutant powers when she unwillingly read the mind of her best friend Annie, who was dying after stumping into a car. After that, she went into an autistic state, and due to it, her parents took her to Xavier, who recruited her into the first X-Men team. Although her first power to appear was telepathy, she controlled quite better her telekinetics abilities at first, improving them all during training.

Ever since the first meeting, she has been in love with Scott Summers (her husband), but since he was too shy, the relation took almost 60 issues to start and more than 300 till marriage. Between both moments, Jean has 'died' several times :

First, she was kidnapped by Trask and took to space by the sentinels. There after escaping, the shuttle they had to return to earth was broken, and since the only one who could pilot it was Peter Corbeau, but he wouldn't stand a minute the cosmic rays, she sacrificed herself, absorbing telephatically his knowledges. The shuttle came into a bay, and Jean reappeared as the powerful Phoenix, but since her human body was not enough to contain so much energy, she became corrupted (with a little help from Master Mind, thanks) and joined the Hellfire Club as the Black Queen at first and then the natural forces as Dark Phoenix, whose hunger was infinite. Realizing that it was her or the rest of the universe, Jean sacrificed again in the Blue Zone of the Moon, but fact is that Phoenix wasn't really Jean, but a being who took her shape, while she was recovering from her injures in the botton of the bay.

Jean was found by the 4F, just to discover that Scott had married another woman and had a child. Of course, that's not all, for Maddelyne Pryor (Scott's wife) was really a clone of Jean breed by Mr Sinister, who also resulted to turn into the Goblin Queen during Inferno. Anyway, Maddy died at the end of that adventure, joining her memories and Phoenix's ones into Jean's mind, who got her life complete again.

For a while, the old X-Men were X Factor, but they came into the old group after the fight against the Shadow King.
