This wiki DOES NOT treat Logan (2017) as being an alternate timeline, but rather part of the revised timeline created as of X-Men: Days of Future Past. Any edits claiming Logan is its own timeline will be undone, and subsequent edits ignoring this might result in a block.
Deadpool & Wolverine uses the designation Earth-10005 for the revised timeline, which is the same designation used for the original timeline. As such, the wiki is currently operating on the basis that Wolverine overwrote the same timeline without creating a branch. Despite the overwrite, certain pages have been marked with "/Revised Timeline" to distinguish events that occurred pre-timeline rewrite with those that occurred post-rewrite.
"I know who I am now. I am not simply what others want me to be. I am not destined to a fate I can't control. I evolved beyond this world. This is not the end of me or the X-Men. It's a new beginning."
Jean Elaine Grey is an evolved mutant with powerful telekinetic and telepathic abilities, further enhanced by the cosmic energies of the Phoenix Force. She studied at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and trained as a second-generation member of the X-Men under the tutelage of Professor X.
―Jean recounting her memory of seeing Mystique on TV[src]
In 1973, Jean saw a TV broadcast of Mystique sparing the life of President Nixon after the Attack on the White House. The event had a profound impact on Jean, which she recalled as the moment that Mystique became a hero to her.[1]
In 1975, eight-year-old Jean was in the car with her parents John and Elaine Grey as they were driving. She asked her mother to change the station, to which Elaine responded by saying that Jean can listen to whatever song she wanted to when she was old enough to drive. At that moment, Jean's telekinetic powers flared up, moving the radio dial and changing the station. When her mother asked her what is she doing, Jean denied it. As her telepathy started to manifest, Jean's mind was overwhelmed with voices, causing her to yell "Quiet!" out loud. This unintentionally made Elaine fall asleep at the wheel of the car, steering it into the direction of an oncoming vehicle that resulted in a car crash. Jean's telekinesis saved her from being injured by the crash, but her mother was not fortunate enough to survive.[2]
Seeing The Future[]
"I saw the end of the world. I could feel all this death."
In 1983, Jean Grey was a student at Xavier's School of Gifted Youngsters, as an outsider and is feared by some students due to the uncontrollable nature of her powers. She has had previous instances where nightmares have caused her powers to overload and shake the whole school, scaring her fellow students. Later she walked down to her class where she bumps into new student Scott Summers with his brother Alex, he accidentally knocks her books out of her hands but she catches them telekinetically, she also looks into his mind briefly. When Scott expressed his annoyance, she snarkily told him there was little to read in the first place.[1]
Jean and Scott hanging out at the mall
Jean went on to practice her archery on campus, a special training technique Professor X gave her, she witnesses Scott unleash his power and destroy Charles favorite tree.[1]
Later, upon learning that Kurt Wagner doesn't know American culture, Jean and her group friends went to the mall using Xavier's car keys which Scott stole. At the mall they go shopping for records, Jean and Scott bond over mutual respect for singer Dazzler, and Scott makes a joke to Jean saying she looks like Boy George. Next, they go to an arcade, Jean and Scott played together but run out of quarters, luckily Jubilee uses her ability to charge the machine and allow them to play for free. Finally, the group sees a movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi", and Scott and Jubilee enter a debate about what's the best Star Wars movie, to which Jean cited that they could at least know that the third film is the worst.[1]
When they returned, Scott discovered that his brother had been killed when he unwittingly destroyed the X-Mansion. When William Stryker arrives, he and the military take Moira, Charles, Raven, Hank and Peter while Scott, Jean, and Kurt hide. They sneak aboard the helicopter carrying the captured mutants and it takes them to Alkali Lake. While on the helicopter Scott mourns Alex and Jean told him that from reading Alex thoughts that he was the one who thought that Scott was going to do something that would change the world and had faith in his younger brother. Arriving at the facility the three run into Logan who has already gone through the adamantium process and release him. Logan proceeds to slaughter Stryker's men before escaping, Jean tries to calm him down with her mind. The three then proceed to rescue Hank, Moira, Raven, and Peter when Scott blasts through the walls of their cage. The groups escape with one of Stryker's jets and don battle suits before heading to Cairo.[1]
During the final battle with Apocalypse, Jean briefly teams up with Cyclops until Professor X calls out to her for help in battle as he contests the deity in the astral dimension. Despite her hesitation, Professor X encourages her to let go of her fear and unleash the full extent of her powers. With a lengthy roar, Jean casts torrents of energy upon Apocalypse, causing him extreme anguish and effortlessly disintegrating his astral form. As he sees Jean's power, he states that "all is revealed" before he is completely incinerated despite his healing factor power. Though Professor X has apparently died, Jean senses that he still lives and heals his injuries. She later trains as one of the new X-Men.[1]
By 1992, Jean and the other X-Men had become national superheroes adored by the public at large. When the space shuttle Endeavour was damaged by the energy of the approaching Phoenix Force, Jean and the X-Men are dispatched into space to rescue the astronauts. Though Nightcrawler and Quicksilver managed to rescue most of the crew, one of the astronauts noted that their commander was still aboard the shuttle. Despite Mystique's misgivings, Professor X convinced Jean and Nightcrawler to go back on to the shuttle to try and rescue the commander.[2]
The X-Men arrive in orbit
Using her telekinesis, Jean held the broken fragments of the shuttle together while Nightcrawler located the commander.[2]However, when the Phoenix Force struck Endeavour, Nightcrawler was forced to teleport away with the commander, leaving Jean stranded on the shuttle. As the cosmic entity approached the X-Jet, Jean directed it towards her instead, sparing the lives of everyone onboard.[2]
Jean absorbing the force
Instead of destroying her, the Phoenix Force is absorbed into Jean's body while Endeavour exploded around her. Xavier, who was monitoring the mission via Cerebro saw the approaching cosmic force as it entered Jean's mind and body. Empowered by the Phoenix Force, Jean survived while floating in space before Nightcrawler teleported to her and brought her aboard the X-Jet.[2] When Scott looked into her eyes he briefly saw the flicker of the Force before Jean woke up and asked if everything was okay, much to the surprise and delight of her fellow X-Men.
Aftermath[]
Once back on Earth, Jean along with the rest of the X-Men were welcomed by a crowd of adoring fans. They were greeted upon their return to the Institute by the applause of their fellow students and a proud Professor X. After passing a routine health examination by Hank, Jean was re-joined by Scott in their shared bedroom. She mused about her condition and reassured Scott after almost losing her in the space mission that she would always return to him.[2]
Seeing Visions[]
Joining the festivities around the school grounds celebrating their victory alongside Scott, Jean began to experience visions of the force that entered her body brought on by the images of fire and festivity, overwhelming her thoughts. In response, she released a massive wave of telekinetic force that swept her surrounding area, destroying it and knocking back many of her fellow students, rendering her unconscious.[2]
Jean begins experiencing visions
As Jean laid dormant in her bedroom, Charles attempted to peruse into her thoughts using Cerebro with Hank and Raven by his side. Discovering that many of the psychic blocks that he erected in Jean's mind have eroded due to the incident in space, he attempted to calm the slowly awakening Jean. Upon discovering that her father was still alive and that Charles lied to her about the incident, Jean managed to eject him from her mind, knocking him out, much to Hank and Raven's horror.[2]
Scott ran to Jean's side, who was horrified at the sight of the wound on his cheek which she believed she caused. Despite Scott's reassurance, Jean resolved to locate her father, much to his confusion. In order to prevent Scott from interfering, Jean rendered him unconscious before leaving the Mansion in search of her presumed dead father.[2]
Reuniting with her father in the suburban neighbourhood of Red Hook, Jean sadly discovered that he removed all trace of her in his life, blaming her for the death of her mother. Rendering him unconscious as the X-Jet approached, Jean was confronted by her teammates who urged her to return home. As police cars approached the scene, Jean lost control of her burgeoning powers and flipped the cars over. Her escape was foiled by Nightcrawler, who she quickly defeated after a brief struggle, and even the combined efforts of her teammates could not subdue her, incapacitating Quicksilver in the process.[2]
Mystique moments before her death
Mystique attempted to approach Jean to calm her, with Charles preventing any outside interference. However, Jean couldn't contain her powers and she accidentally killed her mentor, flinging Raven into a broken fencepost that impaled her. Horrified, she escaped, soaring into the sky. Finding an isolated corner in an urban locale, she attempted to clean the blood off of her hands, breaking down in tears and lamenting about her recent actions.[2]
Genosha[]
Jean sought refuge on the island sanctuary of Genosha, where she was met with wary eyes. Magneto, the leader of the island, welcomed her. She sought comfort with him, who she believed would understand her current predicament. Magneto explained how he used to kill people but has moved on after gaining nothing but pain. He inquired upon the blood on her shirt, to which she didn't answer.[2]
Not long after, the island was met with military forces sent to look for Jean, warranting Erik's immediate attention. Unable to control her compulsions any longer, Jean revealed herself and totalled one of the choppers, almost hitting Magneto with a loose propeller, before taking control of the other one. Magneto narrowly suppressed her, imploring the soldiers to leave the island as he did so. Upon the departure of the soldiers, he banished Jean from the island for the sake of the safety of the innocents dwelling there, with Jean begrudgingly obliging.[2]
Meeting Vuk[]
Vuk shows Jean her true power
A lone Jean was approached by Vuk in a bar, who saw through her illusions. Explaining herself to be someone who could help control the force inside of her, imploring Jean to come with her and inviting her to a townhouse in New York. She also began to manipulate her and turn her against Xavier in an attempt to use her for the powers of the cosmic entity. At the location they were met by Vuk's people, the D'Bari. Vuk explained to Jean the origins of the entity that dwells within her, being a cosmic force that sparked life in the universe and destroyed Vuk's planet. Vuk manipulated Jean in her vulnerability to accomplish her and her people's ends, being total domination of the planet Earth.[2] Helping her to realise that what humans fear they will inevitably seek to destroy, including her.
Battle at New York[]
Later, Jean was located by both the X-Men and Magneto's forces, who fought to secure her despite the attention and damage they were causing around them. Vuk manipulated Jean into believing that she could trust nobody but her and that she should be ready to fight. Magneto managed to get to Jean first by using a subway car as a battering ram. Hoping to end her life and avenge Raven's demise, he used a metal railing in an attempt to impale her. However, he was unable to overcome her sheer power, breaking his helmet and expelling him from the townhouse.[2]
Jean demands Vuk take her power
With Scott and Kurt's assistance, Charles managed to enter the townhouse, meeting Jean and Vuk, the former refusing to listen to his pleas while the latter watches. After he told her that she could do anything she put her mind to, Jean was goaded beyond endurance and demanded to prove it by approaching her without his wheelchair. When Charles asserted that he could not do so, Jean cruelly forced him out of his wheelchair and telekinetically manipulated his limbs to ascend a staircase to her. As Jean was slowly snuffing out Charles's life, he revealed more of the day he took her in, showing her that he did so out of love, pacifying her.[2]
Jean wanted to relinquish the power within her to Vuk, who insidiously obliged, intending to take it for herself to wipe out all of humanity and claim the Earth for her people. As Vuk took the entity within Jean, she was also killing the young mutant in the process, much to Charles's horror. However, Scott intervened, breaking the connection between Jean and Vuk, rendering Jean unconscious.[2]
Jean was apprehended by the Mutant Containment Unit, along with both the X-Men and Magneto's forces, and boarded onto a freight train headed for a containment facility meant for mutants with dangerous powers. The X-Men debated what to do with her, Magneto opting for her death but both Charles and Scott reminded him that Mystique would not want that. Allowing both him and Beast to let go of their shared vengeance. It was not long before the D'Bari ambushed the train in an attempt to get to Jean. The guards reluctantly released the mutants to help counter the attack. As the D'Bari attempted to extract her from the train with both human and mutant alike keeping them at bay, Jean remained dormant. However, Charles managed to get to her with Scott's aid, meeting her in his mindspace and finding closure after everything she has endured.[2] The X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants were now resolved to defend her but not without casualties such as Ariki and Selene Gallio as well as most of the MCU guardsmen. Jean finally accepted her inner nature and her newfound purpose. Protecting her family.
Jean embracing the Dark Phoenix
Resolving to protect her family, Jean released herself from her bonds as Vuk approached her, Scott, and Charles, expelling Vuk out of the car. She then lifted the entire line of armoured train cars into the air, spinning them around to counteract the attacking D'Bari while shielding the remaining mutants.[2] Finding themselves in a powerplant surrounded by woodland, Jean and her teammates emerged from the wreckage of the train cars she dropped there unscathed. Realising that the D'Bari still posed a threat, she embraced her newfound Dark Phoenix persona, ready to fight. She then proceeded to singlehandedly wipe out the remaining D'Bari by utilising the cosmic force to disintegrate them. Not long before Vuk approached her in an attempt to retake the remaining power Jean possessed. However, Jean was too much for Vuk and she was beginning to be overwhelmed by the young mutant. As Scott tried to approach Jean, the field of energy she and Vuk were emanating began to hurt him, causing her to lose focus. Vuk tried to goad Jean to her wishes, but Jean's resolve proved indomitable.[2]
Disappearance[]
The Phoenix Force departing into the cosmos
After healing Scott and quietly bidding Charles goodbye, Jean flew into space along with Vuk. She berated her on her emotional state but Jean simply stated that it was not her weakness but her strength. She proceeded to unleash her full potential and destroyed the alien with the very power she sought to wield. Embracing the power she possessed, Jean's body was seemingly consumed by cosmic flame, exploding into a massive firebird that lit up the night sky, presumed dead by her teammates and the rest of the world. The Xavier Institute was renamed the "Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters" in memory of her. Sometime much later a flaming phoenix was seen flying above Paris, alluding to Jean's survival.[2]
Return to Earth[]
Jean Grey and Cyclops are seen alive in the new future.
Sometime before 2023, Jean came back to Earth and decided to return to the X-Mansion where she became a teacher, returns to being Scott's girlfriend and becomes Wolverine's love interest, mimicking the original timeline. In 2023, the original timeline's Wolverine wakes up in his future-self and is shocked to see her alive, and Jean, unaware of all the past events that he has experienced, is confused; by Wolverine's strange behavior, but he assures Jean that everything is okay. She smiles at him, and tells Wolverine that she'll see him later and she walks away.[3]
Becoming a Mother[]
At some point between 2023 and 2028, Jean and Scott had a son: Nathan.
Personality[]
After finding her, Professor X never suppresses her powers, and as such she was able to unleash enough power to destroy Apocalypse; however, it is heavily hinted that her powers will still manifest with a dark side, even if not in the same way as before.[1]
In her younger years, Jean is isolated from her fellow students because of the volatility of her powers. But this doesn't hamper her ability to socialize with those; who do not fear her, like Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Jubilee, all of; who she bonded with. Unlike in the original timeline, she is far more inhibited in the use of her powers, even though she is more resourceful; when employing them to suit her ends. One trait of hers that carried over from the original timeline is her selflessness and tendency towards heroism. Most notably, she stepped up to face Apocalypse in the Astral Plane by herself despite her inhibitions and she redirected the Phoenix Force away from the X-Jet where her teammates and rescued civilians, choosing to have the entity bombard her instead.[2]
When merged with the Phoenix, Jean was initially overwhelmed by the entity that dwelled inside her, prone to fits of unpredictable rage, especially after learning of the truth behind her enrolment into the Institute. She remains fully aware of what she does in these moments of weakness and it crumbles her resolve, making her more susceptible to being manipulated, as Vuk did. But upon reconciling with Charles Xavier, Jean was able to take back control of her faculties and harness the power of the Phoenix; without losing herself, becoming one with the entity that; once tormented her.[2] In her Dark Phoenix state she seemed to possess a primal will and instinct for causing pain as she briefly smiled when disintegrating a lone D'Bari soldier. Despite this, she possessed full control of the entity. Both merging in space into a new entity before returning to Earth sometime before the year 2023.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
Jean Grey is an extremely powerful mutant whose abilities varied across her appearances. From a burgeoning psychic whose abilities were contained until she could gain better control of them, Jean's powers evolved immensely due to her near-death experience in the original timeline and from letting go of her inhibitions and merging with the Phoenix Force.
Upon unleashing the full extent of her powers, Jean's powers manifested around her as a fiery raptor. Her powers is vastly amplified after merging with the Phoenix, allowing her to accomplish feats impossible if attempted alone. Her power signature is seen as glowing fiery veins across her skin and her clothes as well as her immediate environment atomizing and repairing themselves, reflecting the sheer volatile power of the energy within her.
Telekinesis: Jean has the ability to move objects with her mind, ranging from doors to people, cars and even trains. Beast once stated that Jean's powers had no limits. She can sustain multiple telekinetic feats at once and even intercept Quicksilver while he is running at superhuman speeds when merged with the Phoenix. Even without the Phoenix, her telekinetic control allowed her to assist Magneto in rebuilding the X-Mansion after the events of Apocalypse, rebuilding the school alongside Erik piece by piece.
Flight: Jean can fly using her telekinesis by project herself through the air, moreso displayed in the revised timeline. During the battle against Apocalypse, Jean was able to walk on and float in the air while attacking him. When merged with the Phoenix, she is able to simulate self-propelled flight at considerable speeds. She is even able to easily soar through outer space and the upper atmosphere.
Force Field Generation: Jean can generate telekinetic shields or barriers to block, contain and impede targets. When merged with the Phoenix, she is able to create multiple fields for individual people, all the while enacting various other telekinetic feats at the same time.
Telekinetic Blast: Jean can project waves of telekinetic energy to impulse, hit and destroy multiple objects/people.
Molecular Manipulation: At a full extent of her power, she can manipulate matter at a molecular level at will, with the exception of adamantium, or anything encased or bonded with adamantium.
Disintegration: Jean is able to atomize nearly anything within her surroundings at will when at the full extent of her powers. In both timelines, it is an extension of her telekinetic ability and she is seen being able to affect all manner of objects and even people with this power. When enhanced by the Phoenix Force she has been proven to be able to disintegrate regenerative mutants and even extra-terrestrials.
Telepathy: Jean has the ability to read, communicate with, and control other people's minds, not unlike Charles Xavier. During the battle against Apocalypse, though stronger than Charles inside the Astral Plane, he was no match for Jean, who easily cast him out. When merged with the Phoenix, her telepathy is immensely amplified, able to overcome Charles Xavier, a more seasoned telepath, and affect multiple people at once.
Illusion Projection: Jean has the ability to project realistic mental and sensory illusions through telepathic means, able to simulate invisibility for herself and other people, as seen after the explosion at the Mansion, as well as being able to appear as a completely different person to multiple people after being empowered by the Phoenix Force.
Telepathic Resistance: Jean has the ability to resist the telepathic intrusion of other psionics, involving Charles Xavier.
Astral Projection: Jean is able to project her consciousness into the Astral Plane, where a psionic's powers are able to affect the physical world there. Jean used this ability to assist Charles in defeating Apocalypse.
Precognition: Jean has displayed precognitive dreams, portending a bleak future and disturbing her sleep to the extent of simulating seismic activity around the Mansion and causing the paintings in her bedroom to atomize.
Mental Healing: Jean has exhibited the ability to heal another's psychological trauma to the extent of being able to reach into Charles's weakened mind and bring him back from the precipice after being bested by Apocalypse in the Astral Plane.
Memory Manipulation: Jean has displayed the ability to peruse into the deepest depths of another's mind to extract and manipulate their memories, displayed in both timelines. In the original timeline, she does so for Wolverine and Nightcrawler. In the revised timeline, she is able to restore the few memories in a berserk Wolverine's mind, restoring what little sense of self she could salvage of him.
Pain Inducement: Jean has the ability to project psionic bolts and waves from her mind powerful enough to cause both physical and mental harm to her desired targets. While combating Apocalypse in the Astral Plane, Jean unleashed a psychic scream that shattered the simulacrum of the X-Mansion as well as Apocalypse himself, casting him out. When merged with the Phoenix, Jean's psionic blasts are powerful enough to cause a Cerebro-empowered Charles Xavier considerable discomfort and even render him unconscious.
Unconsciousness Inducement: Jean has the ability to knock anyone unconscious, even for a few minutes.
Phoenix Force Manipulation: After merging with the Phoenix Force in space, Jean's natural abilities are immensely amplified, allowing her to overcome powerful mutants the likes of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, the combined efforts of her entire team, and even an army of D'Bari, including one partially empowered by the very cosmic entity inside her. She didn't necessarily gain new abilities when merged with the Phoenix but Vuk stated that Jean could gain some powerful abilities if she was able to control the power. Some of those abilities include the power to create life and possess the very power of a cosmic god.
Psionic Energy Manipulation:
Jean demonstrating psionic energy
Jean is able to create, shape and manipulate psionic energy which appears as a fiery raptor. She mostly showed this ability when she merged with the Phoenix Force. Jean's energy is on a whole other level being so destructive that she had to fly in space to kill Vuk in order to not disintegrate her family. She is also seen to be able to manipulate other types of energies such as when she redirected Scott's optic energy and when Storm threw a lightning at her, Jean immediately redirected it.
Disintegration:
Cosmic disintegration
Despite possessing the power beforehand to some extent, Jean's ability to disintegrate matter was enhanced exponentially once using the Phoenix Force. In the revised timeline, she uses this ability to destroy Apocalypse once and for all (though at a gradual rate), manifesting a fiery raptor around her as she does so. Once merged with the Phoenix Force as the Dark Phoenix she once again exhibits this ability, instantaneously destroying many of the D'Bari with it. She subconsciously disintegrated her bonds which were designed to restrain powerful mutants.
Cosmic Fire Manipulation: Via the Phoenix Force, Jean is able to create, shape, manipulate and summon cosmic fire which was strong enough to kill powerful mutants like Apocalypse manifesting itself as a fiery psionic bird. This fire is most likely summoned by Jean with her telepathic powers.
Vacuum Adaptation: Jean is able to adapt in the vacuum of space by creating an energetic aura around her. She also used this ability when she was trying to hold that space ship in space because apparently only Nightcrawler needed a special helmet. Once bonded with the Phoenix they could survive the vacuum at will.
Superhuman Reflexes: Jean was able to react to Quicksilver charging at super speed towards her.
Regeneration: Jean has shown the power to regenerate herself from injuries by using psionic energy. She showed this ability after she absorbed the Phoenix Force in space regenerating her body and even her clothes from sudden death. Also when a D'Bari stabbed her she instantly healed herself.
Telepathic Immunity: Jean as the Phoenix has complete immunity to the powers of Telepaths such as Charles Xavier, even with the usage of Cerebro. Her mindscape can only be accessed by allowing someone in herself.
Space Travel: When fully merged Jean has the ability to travel unhindered in space using her Phoenix Form.
Sophie Turner studied schizophrenia and disassociative identity disorder to ground her performance. She found a YouTube video that simulated what it would feel like to have auditory hallucinations. Turner would listen to it while walking around New York City, but found it hard to function while doing mundane tasks such as shopping or talking to people.[4]
