| 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. |
John Grey was the husband of Elaine Grey and the father of Jean Grey.
Car Crash[]
In 1975, John Grey was wounded in a car crash inadvertently caused by Jean Grey, which claimed Elaine's life. John resented Jean as a result, and when visited by Charles Xavier in the hospital, gave him custody of his daughter. Xavier informed Jean that John had died in order to shield her from the trauma of being abandoned by him, and took her to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Following his recovery, John returned home, where he mourned his wife's death, placing photos of her around his house, although he chose not to hang any of Jean due to his resentment.
Following Jean's absorption of the Phoenix Force in 1992, Jean's psychic abilities were significantly enhanced, and she heard John's thoughts. Realizing John was alive, Jean fled the X-Mansion and returned home, reuniting with her father. However, Jean realized there were no photos of her in the house and inquired as to why John never looked for her following the car crash. John explained that Jean took the woman he loved away from him, and after being informed by Jean that she could read minds, intentionally recalled the car crash and ensuing memories for her to experience. He began to notice tremors and demanded that Jean stop whatever she was doing, although Jean notified him that it wasn't caused by her as she rendered him unconscious.
As he came to, he was being surrounded by police officers before being dismissed by Vuk and Jones, shape-shifting aliens who were posing as FBI agents. Vuk asked John to tell him what he knew about Jean; when John asked for a lawyer instead, Vuk tortured him for information before killing him.[1]
Personality[]
In the revised timeline, John is shown to be more hateful of his daughter's powers and his daughter herself than his Original Timeline counterpart. He also seemed to care more about his late wife than the child that they gave birth to, as he hung up photos of her wife and presumably destroyed any photos of Jean.
