She keeps an equally variable [[TouchedByVorlons connection]] to it from her return onwards. The Phoenix wasn't even originally intended to give her an ability to come BackFromTheDead. Becoming the Phoenix in the ''first'' place was considered her "death and rebirth". None of this helped her overall reputation much, and by now she has become the poster child for DeathIsCheap even by comic book standards, to the point that whenever she's in mortal danger, both readers ''and other characters'' don't really care all that much, though they might be concerned about her occasionally [[CameBackWrong coming back wrong]] with her SuperpoweredEvilSide active.

'''Jean Grey''', also known with the alias '''Marvel Girl''', '''Phoenix''', '''Dark Phoenix''', and '''White Phoenix of the Crown''', is a Creator/MarvelComics character and one of five original members of the ComicBook/XMen. As such, she is first introduced in the very first X-Men comics, that is ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen Vol.1 #1''.
She was the center of attention throughout many of the X-Men's early adventures, being [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only woman on the team]], and also one of the most potentially powerful. Eventually she settled into a relationship with Scott Summers, a.k.a. ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}; however, her burgeoning psychic potential along with some brain-washing caused her to develop an incredibly malevolent split personality with the power to destroy planets. She made a HeroicSacrifice during a moment of being in control of herself so that she wouldn't cause any more destruction at the climax of ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga. However, the Phoenix Force disperses into its original form and a fragment locates the still-healing Jean at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. But Jean senses its memories of death and destruction as Dark Phoenix and rejects it, causing it to bond with her still-lifeless clone, Madelyne Pryor, instead. The phoenix cocoon, containing Jean’s psyche, is discovered and retrieved by ComicBook/TheAvengers and ComicBook/FantasticFour. Jean emerges with no memory of the actions of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix. She is reunited with the original X-Men, and convinces them to form the new superhero team ComicBook/XFactor.
She also initially accepted that Scott has moved on by married with another woman named Madelyne Pryor. However, things got complicated when Madelyne, who is angered over Scott's decision to lead X-Factor and neglect his family, abandoned him with their infant son, Nathan. When Madelyne returns during ''ComicBook/{{Inferno}}'', her powers are awakened by demonic pact and she introduces herself as Goblyn Queen. The revelation that Madelyne is actually Jean's clone drove her completely insane and she plans to sacrifice the infant Nathan to achieve greater power and unleash Hell on Earth. Jean and Madelyne confront each other, and Madelyne attempts to kill them both. Jean manages to survive only by absorbing the remnant of the Phoenix Force housed within Madelyne, giving her both Madelyne's memories and the Phoenix's memories from Dark Phoenix Saga.
After Madelyne's death, Jean helps Scott cared for Nathan, since he's genetically her son as well. When X-Factor rejoins the X-Men, Jean no longer uses codename. She initially doesn't accept the arrival of Rachel Summers (who goes by the codename "Phoenix" as well and is also able to tap into the Phoenix Force), her alternate future daughter with Scott, very well, worrying if it indicates that her life is predetermined. Some time later, Nathan is kidnapped and infected with Techno-Organic Virus by ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}. The virus was rapidly spreading through his body and, if not stopped, would kill him. To help him, Jean and Scott are forced to let him being taken by a woman named Sister Askani from distant future who claimed her clan had technology in that might be able to save Nathan. However, Askani could only risk one time jump without destroying herself. So, Nathan cannot return to present timeline very soon.
Unbeknownst to them, though, a mysterious cyborg-mutant soldier called ComicBook/{{Cable}} who appeared to lead the ComicBook/NewMutants and later found the ComicBook/XForce, was actually their son Nathan, who has grown up into adult man, much older than his own parents, and has returned from the future.
Jean eventually accepts Rachel as her daughter, who also requests Jean to take the codename Phoenix. After some time, she also accepts Scott's marriage proposal (which she previously rejected) and during their honeymoon, they had MentalTimeTravel to distant future, which allowed them to raise young Nathan. During this time, Scott and Jean used fake name, Slym and Redd Dayspring, respectively, to hide their identity. It's revealed that Rachel was responsible for the time travel by using her powers because she wants them to protect and raise Nathan, who would one day become ComicBook/{{Cable}}. Back in the present, Jean and Scott revealed to Cable that they had raised him in the future as Redd and Slym Dayspring. Cable had known for some time and was waiting for them to be ready to tell him. They were pleased to be reunited as a family again. During ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}'', Jean also met her other alternate reality child, Nate Grey a.k.a. ComicBook/XMan (and is essentially younger Cable), who accidentally resurrect Madelyne in a subconscious attempt to reach out to his "mother", Jean. Despite responsible bringing for her rival back into her life, Jean parted with her son on good terms.
Scott is later possessed by Apocalypse and apparently killed. But Jean believe he may be still alive. She's helped by Cable in rescuing and freeing Scott from the possession. But, during the events in ''ComicBook/NewXMen'', Scott isn't feeling very well due to Apocalypse's possesion and this is when their marriage begin to fall, especially after the "psychic affair" between him and Emma Frost, fellow member and reformed supervillainess. Ultimately, though, Jean realizes that Emma truly loves him. And when Emma was shot and [[LiterallyShatteredLives literally shattered]] in her organic diamond form by Esme Cuckoo, Jean helped repairing Emma at the molecular level, displaying incredible telekinetic power. Later, she's tricked by SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}} impostor, Kuan-Yin Xorn, along with ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, who has long-time one-sided crush on her. They ended up trapped on Asteroid M, drifting closer to the Sun. The Phoenix Force within Jean is reawakened when Wolverine tried to {{Mercy Kill}}ed her. Jean and Wolverine returned to Earth to face Xorn. But Xorn managed to (physically) kill her with an electromagnetic pulse which cause her to have a planetary-scale stroke. An enraged Wolverine soon avenge her by [[OffWithHisHead decapitating]] Xorn.
Upon the death of her physical form, Jean spends time in the The White Hot Room doing 'Phoenix work'. The Phoenix Force can also restore Jean's body to life, although there appears to be some unknown limitation to how quickly it can successfully accomplish this following her death. Around this time, she's also somehow seen aiding the X-Men, such as collecting the missing fragments of the Phoenix force she took some of them from Rachel Summers and the Stepford Cuckoos after the events in ''Phoenix Warsong'' when they wield the powers. She even helps Emma (again), when the latter is {{mind rape}}d by the resurrected Madelyne Pryor into psychic static. She also helps Scott, who becoma Dark Phoenix of Phoenix Five, to let go of the Phoenix Force during ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen''.
'''Jean Grey of the Past'''
Much later, after the events of ''Schism'' and ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', the X-Men have broken apart down ideological lines: ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}-led [[ComicBook/WolverineAndTheXMen X-Men]] in Jean Grey School for Higher Learning and Cyclops-led X-Men in New Charles Xavier School.
The Phoenix Five, plus Magneto, led by Scott Summers, are on the run. After using their Phoenix powers to change the world as they saw fit, they're now considered terrorists. Cyclops has them teleporting around the world to rescue or approach new mutants as they manifest. Cyclops' goal: time for a revolution, and he needs an army.
Meanwhile Beast, dying as a result of further mutations, hears an offhand remark from Iceman, along the order of: "If only Scott could see himself..." and decides that's a brilliant idea. He goes to the past and brings [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen the original five X-Men]], including much younger Jean Grey, to the present day. After they're convinced to help settle the things that previously caused by original Cyclops and his own X-Men, they agree to stay. However, it eventually becomes clear that not everything was as they were told upon arriving, in addition to several changes in the team dynamics and emotional impacts, which result in the O5 X-Men and Kitty Pryde deciding to join the New Xavier School in hopes of being able to continue their attempt to bring mutantkind and mankind together.
In the new school, young Jean is under tutelage of Emma Frost, of all people. They began their relationship in a not-so-friendly way. But after they settle their differences, they begin to bond an unlikely friendship which surprises many people. Some time later, Jean is kidnapped by Shi'ar Empire who randomly blames her for what her future counterpart, as Dark Phoenix, did in Dark Phoenix Saga. But thanks to her four original teammates (along with Kitty Pryde and ComicBook/{{X-23}}), Starjammers, and ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy, Jean is rescued and safely returned to the school.

!Tropes for Modern Jean
* ActionGirl: What she became with time. Jean is highly capable of defending herself and others whenever the time calls for it.
* ActionMom / TeamMom: Oddly enough Jean fits this despite never having actually carried a child. All her offsprings, Rachel, Cable, and X-Man; are from alternate universes or timelines (although Cable was actually born in the present, but he had to be sent to the future as mentioned above).
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: ThePhoenix, as avatar of Phoenix Force.
* ApocalypseMaiden: Jean Grey as ''Dark Phoenix''.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Currently in the White Hot Room, gathering fragments of the Phoenix Force.
* BackFromTheDead: Once.
* BareYourMidriff: In the comic ''New X-Men'', Jean was seen to be showing off her midriff often, like Emma Frost.
* BattleCouple: With Cyclops, of course.
* BettyAndVeronica: Had to choose between Angel and Cyclops, and later Cyclops and Wolverine.
** She's also the Betty for Cyclops while Emma Frost is the Veronica.
** She was also the Betty to Psylocke's Veronica for Cyclops' Archie.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's sweet, motherly and level-headed. Unless you wrong her or her loved ones seriously. Then, you're in for a ''world'' of psychic pain.
* TheChick: She started out as one, taking ''several'' levels in badass as her powers grew.
* CleavageWindow: Her Phoenix Five costume in ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance''.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Jean is capable of getting very jealous, especially where Scott is concerned.
* CompositeCharacter: Jean's Phoenix Five costume in ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance'' is an amalgam of P5 Emma's chestpiece and P5 Cyclops' suit. Her P5 persona is essentially the Dark Phoenix, being the Epic Boss of the Avengers side after defeating P5 Cyclops.
* ContinuitySnarl: The Phoenix Force with all the recent {{RetCon}}s.
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: Something the Phoenix Force seems to do. However, how this works is very much DependingOnTheWriter.
* DeadpanSnarker: Jean as Phoenix can be quite witty and sarcastic when she wants to be.
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: Her Quesada-mandated death at the end of Planet X had "Magneto" kill her out of spite when he realized he was losing.
* [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]]: Jean is the object of affection for many male X-Men members, including Professor X himself for a brief period in the old days.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: When she becomes Dark Phoenix, the outfit turns red. In a more subtle version, as the ''normal'' Phoenix, the size of the phoenix logo slowly grew as time went on and she became more {{Anti Hero}}ish.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: When marrying Scott, in most adaptations, her dresses are pretty fancy. In the comic, she wore a mermaid dress with a hooded white cape and OperaGloves.
* {{Flight}}: Using psychokinesis.
* FlyingFirepower: as avatar of Phoenix Force.
* FieryRedhead: classic Marvel example. And as the Phoenix, quite literally too.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Used to contrast her with Emma when she becomes her romantic rival. Jean is constantly associated with fire and heat because of her red hair and her connection to the fiery Phoenix Force, and her personality is known to vacillate between warm compassion and unpredictable fiery temper; Emma is associated with ice and the cold because of her surname "Frost", her [[WomanInWhite all-white attire]] and her cool temperament, and she resembles an ice sculpture when in her organic diamond form.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her Phoenix costume, X-Factor costumes, and 90s costume.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she is possessed by the Phoenix Force.
* HappilyMarried: With Cyclops... for a while.
* TheHeart: of the X-Men.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Many of the X-Men have been attracted to the red-headed Jean, most notably Cyclops and Wolverine.
* HeroicSacrifice: Knew piloting that space shuttle would kill her, and she still went through with it.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: With Cyclops.
* HypnotizeThePrincess: Has been a victim of mind control several times.
* TheLancer: In ''New X-Men''.
* LevitatingLotusPosition: as seen [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070225104831/marveldatabase/images/a/a5/Jean_Grey_%28Phoenix%29_004.jpg here]].
* LittleBlackDress: Has worn a couple.
* MessianicArchetype: What she has become [[MessiahCreep with time]], especially in and after Creator/GrantMorrison's run.
* MindRape: Jean does this to Emma after she catches Scott and Emma together.
* MindlinkMates: with Scott.
* MiniDressOfPower: Her second outfit.
* MoralityPet: She and Scott served as each other's MoralityPet[=s=] before their relationship went south. She helps him to live life and not brood so much, he helps her to calm down and balance the Phoenix's power with her humanity. Once she dies, the gap between Scott and his teammates widens, as she's isn't there to mediate between them anymore.
* ThePhoenix: Well...
* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: Other than the DependingOnTheWriter bouts of madness with the Phoenix Force, she can be a pretty decent person for the most part. She is usually presented as one of the more compassionate members of the X-Men as seen when she helped raise Cable to be more of a good man than [[BadFuture he would have been]], and comforting Jubilee after Illyana dies.
* PlayingWithFire: Her Phoenix powers give her cosmic pyrokinesis, essentially magic fire.
* PowerStrainBlackout: Practically the poster child for this trope.
* PrettyInMink: Bought a white fur coat, and her mother has a brown mink coat.
* PsychicPowers: Her main powers aside from Phoenix Force, which mainly include {{Telepathy}} and [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]].
* PunnyName: Perhaps merely by coincidence, Jean has mutant powers because she possesses the x-''gene''.
* RedheadInGreen: Some of her costumes have been green.
* RestrainingBolt: As a young girl, Xavier placed mental blocks in Jean's mind to keep her telepathy from growing out of control. Xavier would later remove these so her telepathy could grow naturally. In certain continuities, though, these mental blocks caused Jean to develop a dark alter ego; this rather than the Phoenix Force being a cosmic entity.
* SecretPublicIdentity: The name "[[FailOSuckyname Marvel Girl]]" didn't age well and was dropped decades ago, and (usually; DependingOnTheWriter) she only uses the name Phoenix when actually supercharged by the cosmic critter. This leaves her as just plain "Jean Grey" the majority of the time, even during action. It's been {{Lampshaded}} more than once; Jubilee once even referred to her as "Miss I'm Too Sexy For A Codename, Too Sexy For A Codename," and in the ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' tie in comic, when Nightcrawler asked why Rogue was just Rogue, Cyclops said "The same reason Jean's just Jean," and they were interrupted before Nightcrawler could get finished asking about ''that.''
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Has red hair and green eyes.
* SimpleYetOpulent: Her dress when she arrives in the first issue wouldn't look to out of place among a high class party. Her wedding dress was also grand and simple.
* SuperpowerLottery: DependingOnTheWriter.
* ThighHighBoots: Phoenix costumes go right into the spandex this way.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Jean is the only girl of the original X-Men team.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Some of her outfits, especially the dress she wears in her very first appearance.
* UnwantedHarem: She was the only girl in the group for years. She's also been the target of villain's affections, as well. Jason Wyngarde (Mastermind) wasn't above committing MindRape to get her to fall in love with him.
* WinterRoyalLady: Conversed a bit. After she bought her fur, she and Scott had a SnowballFight with [[MundaneUtility their powers]], and Jean jokingly called herself "the Queen of the Icy North!".
* WomanInWhite: As the White Phoenix of the Crown, the most powerful incarnation of the Phoenix.
!Tropes for Teen Jean in ''All New X-Men''
* IAmAMonster: When she's prosecuted by Shi'ar Empire.
* FieryRedhead: And since this one is still teenager, so she's understandable a little bit more short-tempered than her future self.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her original costume and new costume (pictured).
* FutureMeScaresMe: She is horrified of all that she knows she will go through, but especially the Phoenix-related bits.
* HeroicBSOD: Has one when she sees what happens to her future self. Later she has an even worse one after [[spoiler:Teen Angel leaves to join Modern Cyclops]].
* KangarooCourt: When various alien organizations learn Jean Grey is alive again, they seek to prosecute her for her future self's actions as Dark Phoenix.
* LoveDodecahedron: Lots, [[SarcasmMode surprisingly]].
** She and Teen Scott were in love until they got to the future. Now she's not so sure she wants him anymore given what she knows about who/what he grows up to be, while he's still smitten, thinking that their eventual wedding is "proof" they're supposed to be together.
** She and Teen Hank. She instigated it on top of that. The events of ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' cause a little fallout, and they're still not sure what's going on between them.
** She and Teen Angel have a moment when he catches her when she's falling.
** She also seems to be attracted to Modern Scott, but he quickly says it can't ever happen. ''Ever''.
* MindOverManners: Jean's telepathy shows up unexpectedly due to the stress of seeing the future and knowing her future self dies (more than once). Kitty has to repeatedly remind her it's considered extremely impolite to read minds without permission. Jean apologizes, but her curiosity gets the better of her quite a bit. Sometimes HilarityEnsues, sometimes it leads to AwkwardMoments, but most times [[WhatTheHellHero she can't believe what people have done]]. She's getting better by the time she meets [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Miles Morales]].
* MindRape: She tried to do it on Teen Angel ''again'' in Issue 11, but Stepford Triplets stop her.
* OddFriendship: with Emma Frost. Lampshaded:
-->'''Irma Cuckoo''': Jean Grey and Emma Frost are friends now.\\
'''ComicBook/{{Magik}}''': That is the scariest thing I've ever heard. And I grew up in hell, [[ExactWords literally]].
* PowerIncontinence: Jean's telepathy manifests early as a result of the stress of time travel and finding out about the future, and she frequently has to fight to keep thoughts out of her head. [[spoiler:Eventually it causes her to gain a whole new power by combining her two powers]].
* SwappedRoles: Kitty Pryde, who was 13 and a half when she joined the X-Men, studied under Jean and learned techniques for handling telepathic issues. Now she's an adult, teaching 16-year-old Jean from the past those same techniques.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Due to her TraumaCongaLine, she brainwashes Warren into submission ''twice''! And now in ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' she manipulates Teen Scott by flattering him (after kissing Hank) to help her stay in the present, which will cause an Apocalyptic Future.
* TraumaCongaLine: Jean, a 16 year old girl, has her powers blooming early, with her attempts to deal with Power Incontinence adding to her troubles. She finds out she is going to die (repeatedly) and is, as far as she knows, still dead, while her teammates survive to the current day.
* WhatTheHellHero: Twice.
** In issue 8, she [[spoiler:modifies Teen Angel's behavior after he, understandably, [[FreakOut panics]] and tries to go back home. When Hank tries to call her out on this, she responds with "Henry, don't you of all people start lecturing me on using your God-given things for selfish purposes."]]
** Then Jean gets it again after [[spoiler:her meltdown when Angel leaves]].

'''Jean Grey''', also known with the alias '''Marvel Girl''', '''Phoenix''', '''Dark Phoenix''', and '''White Phoenix of the Crown''', is a Creator/MarvelComics character and one of five original members of the ComicBook/XMen. As such, she is first introduced in the very first X-Men comics, that is ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen Vol.1 #1''.
She was the center of attention throughout many of the X-Men's early adventures, being [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only woman on the team]], and also one of the most potentially powerful. Eventually she settled into a relationship with Scott Summers, a.k.a. ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}; however, her burgeoning psychic potential along with some brain-washing caused her to develop an incredibly malevolent split personality with the power to destroy planets. She made a HeroicSacrifice during a moment of being in control of herself so that she wouldn't cause any more destruction at the climax of ComicBook/TheDarkPhoenixSaga. However, the Phoenix Force disperses into its original form and a fragment locates the still-healing Jean at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. But Jean senses its memories of death and destruction as Dark Phoenix and rejects it, causing it to bond with her still-lifeless clone, Madelyne Pryor, instead. The phoenix cocoon, containing Jean’s psyche, is discovered and retrieved by ComicBook/TheAvengers and ComicBook/FantasticFour. Jean emerges with no memory of the actions of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix. She is reunited with the original X-Men, and convinces them to form the new superhero team ComicBook/XFactor.
She also initially accepted that Scott has moved on by married with another woman named Madelyne Pryor. However, things got complicated when Madelyne, who is angered over Scott's decision to lead X-Factor and neglect his family, abandoned him with their infant son, Nathan. When Madelyne returns during ''ComicBook/{{Inferno}}'', her powers are awakened by demonic pact and she introduces herself as Goblyn Queen. The revelation that Madelyne is actually Jean's clone drove her completely insane and she plans to sacrifice the infant Nathan to achieve greater power and unleash Hell on Earth. Jean and Madelyne confront each other, and Madelyne attempts to kill them both. Jean manages to survive only by absorbing the remnant of the Phoenix Force housed within Madelyne, giving her both Madelyne's memories and the Phoenix's memories from Dark Phoenix Saga.
After Madelyne's death, Jean helps Scott cared for Nathan, since he's genetically her son as well. When X-Factor rejoins the X-Men, Jean no longer uses codename. She initially doesn't accept the arrival of Rachel Summers (who goes by the codename "Phoenix" as well and is also able to tap into the Phoenix Force), her alternate future daughter with Scott, very well, worrying if it indicates that her life is predetermined. Some time later, Nathan is kidnapped and infected with Techno-Organic Virus by ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}. The virus was rapidly spreading through his body and, if not stopped, would kill him. To help him, Jean and Scott are forced to let him being taken by a woman named Sister Askani from distant future who claimed her clan had technology in that might be able to save Nathan. However, Askani could only risk one time jump without destroying herself. So, Nathan cannot return to present timeline very soon.
Unbeknownst to them, though, a mysterious cyborg-mutant soldier called ComicBook/{{Cable}} who appeared to lead the ComicBook/NewMutants and later found the ComicBook/XForce, was actually their son Nathan, who has grown up into adult man, much older than his own parents, and has returned from the future.
Jean eventually accepts Rachel as her daughter, who also requests Jean to take the codename Phoenix. After some time, she also accepts Scott's marriage proposal (which she previously rejected) and during their honeymoon, they had MentalTimeTravel to distant future, which allowed them to raise young Nathan. During this time, Scott and Jean used fake name, Slym and Redd Dayspring, respectively, to hide their identity. It's revealed that Rachel was responsible for the time travel by using her powers because she wants them to protect and raise Nathan, who would one day become ComicBook/{{Cable}}. Back in the present, Jean and Scott revealed to Cable that they had raised him in the future as Redd and Slym Dayspring. Cable had known for some time and was waiting for them to be ready to tell him. They were pleased to be reunited as a family again. During ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}'', Jean also met her other alternate reality child, Nate Grey a.k.a. ComicBook/XMan (and is essentially younger Cable), who accidentally resurrect Madelyne in a subconscious attempt to reach out to his "mother", Jean. Despite responsible bringing for her rival back into her life, Jean parted with her son on good terms.
Scott is later possessed by Apocalypse and apparently killed. But Jean believe he may be still alive. She's helped by Cable in rescuing and freeing Scott from the possession. But, during the events in ''ComicBook/NewXMen'', Scott isn't feeling very well due to Apocalypse's possesion and this is when their marriage begin to fall, especially after the "psychic affair" between him and Emma Frost, fellow member and reformed supervillainess. Ultimately, though, Jean realizes that Emma truly loves him. And when Emma was shot and [[LiterallyShatteredLives literally shattered]] in her organic diamond form by Esme Cuckoo, Jean helped repairing Emma at the molecular level, displaying incredible telekinetic power. Later, she's tricked by SelfDemonstrating/{{Magneto}} impostor, Kuan-Yin Xorn, along with ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, who has long-time one-sided crush on her. They ended up trapped on Asteroid M, drifting closer to the Sun. The Phoenix Force within Jean is reawakened when Wolverine tried to {{Mercy Kill}}ed her. Jean and Wolverine returned to Earth to face Xorn. But Xorn managed to (physically) kill her with an electromagnetic pulse which cause her to have a planetary-scale stroke. An enraged Wolverine soon avenge her by [[OffWithHisHead decapitating]] Xorn.
Upon the death of her physical form, Jean spends time in the The White Hot Room doing 'Phoenix work'. The Phoenix Force can also restore Jean's body to life, although there appears to be some unknown limitation to how quickly it can successfully accomplish this following her death. Around this time, she's also somehow seen aiding the X-Men, such as collecting the missing fragments of the Phoenix force she took some of them from Rachel Summers and the Stepford Cuckoos after the events in ''Phoenix Warsong'' when they wield the powers. She even helps Emma (again), when the latter is {{mind rape}}d by the resurrected Madelyne Pryor into psychic static. She also helps Scott, who becoma Dark Phoenix of Phoenix Five, to let go of the Phoenix Force during ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen''.
'''Jean Grey of the Past'''
Much later, after the events of ''Schism'' and ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', the X-Men have broken apart down ideological lines: ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}-led [[ComicBook/WolverineAndTheXMen X-Men]] in Jean Grey School for Higher Learning and Cyclops-led X-Men in New Charles Xavier School.
The Phoenix Five, plus Magneto, led by Scott Summers, are on the run. After using their Phoenix powers to change the world as they saw fit, they're now considered terrorists. Cyclops has them teleporting around the world to rescue or approach new mutants as they manifest. Cyclops' goal: time for a revolution, and he needs an army.
Meanwhile Beast, dying as a result of further mutations, hears an offhand remark from Iceman, along the order of: "If only Scott could see himself..." and decides that's a brilliant idea. He goes to the past and brings [[ComicBook/AllNewXMen the original five X-Men]], including much younger Jean Grey, to the present day. After they're convinced to help settle the things that previously caused by original Cyclops and his own X-Men, they agree to stay. However, it eventually becomes clear that not everything was as they were told upon arriving, in addition to several changes in the team dynamics and emotional impacts, which result in the O5 X-Men and Kitty Pryde deciding to join the New Xavier School in hopes of being able to continue their attempt to bring mutantkind and mankind together.
In the new school, young Jean is under tutelage of Emma Frost, of all people. They began their relationship in a not-so-friendly way. But after they settle their differences, they begin to bond an unlikely friendship which surprises many people. Some time later, Jean is kidnapped by Shi'ar Empire who randomly blames her for what her future counterpart, as Dark Phoenix, did in Dark Phoenix Saga. But thanks to her four original teammates (along with Kitty Pryde and ComicBook/{{X-23}}), Starjammers, and ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy, Jean is rescued and safely returned to the school.

* CompositeCharacter: Jean's Phoenix Five costume in ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance'' is an amalgam of P5 Emma's chestpiece and P5 Cyclops' suit. Her P5 persona is essentially the Dark Phoenix, being the Epic Boss of the Avengers side after defeating P5 Cyclops.
* ContinuitySnarl: The Phoenix Force with all the recent {{RetCon}}s.
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: Something the Phoenix Force seems to do. However, how this works is very much DependingOnTheWriter.
* DeadpanSnarker: Jean as Phoenix can be quite witty and sarcastic when she wants to be.
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: Her Quesada-mandated death at the end of Planet X had "Magneto" kill her out of spite when he realized he was losing.
* [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]]: Jean is the object of affection for many male X-Men members, including Professor X himself for a brief period in the old days.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: When she becomes Dark Phoenix, the outfit turns red. In a more subtle version, as the ''normal'' Phoenix, the size of the phoenix logo slowly grew as time went on and she became more {{Anti Hero}}ish.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: When marrying Scott, in most adaptations, her dresses are pretty fancy. In the comic, she wore a mermaid dress with a hooded white cape and OperaGloves.
* {{Flight}}: Using psychokinesis.
* FlyingFirepower: as avatar of Phoenix Force.
* FieryRedhead: classic Marvel example. And as the Phoenix, quite literally too.
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Used to contrast her with Emma when she becomes her romantic rival. Jean is constantly associated with fire and heat because of her red hair and her connection to the fiery Phoenix Force, and her personality is known to vacillate between warm compassion and unpredictable fiery temper; Emma is associated with ice and the cold because of her surname "Frost", her [[WomanInWhite all-white attire]] and her cool temperament, and she resembles an ice sculpture when in her organic diamond form.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her Phoenix costume, X-Factor costumes, and 90s costume.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she is possessed by the Phoenix Force.
* HappilyMarried: With Cyclops... for a while.
* TheHeart: of the X-Men.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Many of the X-Men have been attracted to the red-headed Jean, most notably Cyclops and Wolverine.
* HeroicSacrifice: Knew piloting that space shuttle would kill her, and she still went through with it.
* HighSchoolSweethearts: With Cyclops.
* HypnotizeThePrincess: Has been a victim of mind control several times.
* TheLancer: In ''New X-Men''.
* LevitatingLotusPosition: as seen [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070225104831/marveldatabase/images/a/a5/Jean_Grey_%28Phoenix%29_004.jpg here]].
* LittleBlackDress: Has worn a couple.
* MessianicArchetype: What she has become [[MessiahCreep with time]], especially in and after Creator/GrantMorrison's run.
* MindRape: Jean does this to Emma after she catches Scott and Emma together.
* MindlinkMates: with Scott.
* MiniDressOfPower: Her second outfit.
* MoralityPet: She and Scott served as each other's MoralityPet[=s=] before their relationship went south. She helps him to live life and not brood so much, he helps her to calm down and balance the Phoenix's power with her humanity. Once she dies, the gap between Scott and his teammates widens, as she's isn't there to mediate between them anymore.
* ThePhoenix: Well...
* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: Other than the DependingOnTheWriter bouts of madness with the Phoenix Force, she can be a pretty decent person for the most part. She is usually presented as one of the more compassionate members of the X-Men as seen when she helped raise Cable to be more of a good man than [[BadFuture he would have been]], and comforting Jubilee after Illyana dies.
* PlayingWithFire: Her Phoenix powers give her cosmic pyrokinesis, essentially magic fire.
* PowerStrainBlackout: Practically the poster child for this trope.
* PrettyInMink: Bought a white fur coat, and her mother has a brown mink coat.
* PsychicPowers: Her main powers aside from Phoenix Force, which mainly include {{Telepathy}} and [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]].
* PunnyName: Perhaps merely by coincidence, Jean has mutant powers because she possesses the x-''gene''.
* RedheadInGreen: Some of her costumes have been green.
* RestrainingBolt: As a young girl, Xavier placed mental blocks in Jean's mind to keep her telepathy from growing out of control. Xavier would later remove these so her telepathy could grow naturally. In certain continuities, though, these mental blocks caused Jean to develop a dark alter ego; this rather than the Phoenix Force being a cosmic entity.
* SecretPublicIdentity: The name "[[FailOSuckyname Marvel Girl]]" didn't age well and was dropped decades ago, and (usually; DependingOnTheWriter) she only uses the name Phoenix when actually supercharged by the cosmic critter. This leaves her as just plain "Jean Grey" the majority of the time, even during action. It's been {{Lampshaded}} more than once; Jubilee once even referred to her as "Miss I'm Too Sexy For A Codename, Too Sexy For A Codename," and in the ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' tie in comic, when Nightcrawler asked why Rogue was just Rogue, Cyclops said "The same reason Jean's just Jean," and they were interrupted before Nightcrawler could get finished asking about ''that.''
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Has red hair and green eyes.
* SimpleYetOpulent: Her dress when she arrives in the first issue wouldn't look to out of place among a high class party. Her wedding dress was also grand and simple.
* SuperpowerLottery: DependingOnTheWriter.
* ThighHighBoots: Phoenix costumes go right into the spandex this way.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Jean is the only girl of the original X-Men team.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Some of her outfits, especially the dress she wears in her very first appearance.
* UnwantedHarem: She was the only girl in the group for years. She's also been the target of villain's affections, as well. Jason Wyngarde (Mastermind) wasn't above committing MindRape to get her to fall in love with him.
* WinterRoyalLady: Conversed a bit. After she bought her fur, she and Scott had a SnowballFight with [[MundaneUtility their powers]], and Jean jokingly called herself "the Queen of the Icy North!".
* WomanInWhite: As the White Phoenix of the Crown, the most powerful incarnation of the Phoenix.
!Tropes for Teen Jean in ''All New X-Men''
* IAmAMonster: When she's prosecuted by Shi'ar Empire.
* FieryRedhead: And since this one is still teenager, so she's understandable a little bit more short-tempered than her future self.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Her original costume and new costume (pictured).
* FutureMeScaresMe: She is horrified of all that she knows she will go through, but especially the Phoenix-related bits.
* HeroicBSOD: Has one when she sees what happens to her future self. Later she has an even worse one after [[spoiler:Teen Angel leaves to join Modern Cyclops]].
* KangarooCourt: When various alien organizations learn Jean Grey is alive again, they seek to prosecute her for her future self's actions as Dark Phoenix.
* LoveDodecahedron: Lots, [[SarcasmMode surprisingly]].
** She and Teen Scott were in love until they got to the future. Now she's not so sure she wants him anymore given what she knows about who/what he grows up to be, while he's still smitten, thinking that their eventual wedding is "proof" they're supposed to be together.
** She and Teen Hank. She instigated it on top of that. The events of ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' cause a little fallout, and they're still not sure what's going on between them.
** She and Teen Angel have a moment when he catches her when she's falling.
** She also seems to be attracted to Modern Scott, but he quickly says it can't ever happen. ''Ever''.
* MindOverManners: Jean's telepathy shows up unexpectedly due to the stress of seeing the future and knowing her future self dies (more than once). Kitty has to repeatedly remind her it's considered extremely impolite to read minds without permission. Jean apologizes, but her curiosity gets the better of her quite a bit. Sometimes HilarityEnsues, sometimes it leads to AwkwardMoments, but most times [[WhatTheHellHero she can't believe what people have done]]. She's getting better by the time she meets [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Miles Morales]].
* MindRape: She tried to do it on Teen Angel ''again'' in Issue 11, but Stepford Triplets stop her.
* OddFriendship: with Emma Frost. Lampshaded:
-->'''Irma Cuckoo''': Jean Grey and Emma Frost are friends now.\\
'''ComicBook/{{Magik}}''': That is the scariest thing I've ever heard. And I grew up in hell, [[ExactWords literally]].
* PowerIncontinence: Jean's telepathy manifests early as a result of the stress of time travel and finding out about the future, and she frequently has to fight to keep thoughts out of her head. [[spoiler:Eventually it causes her to gain a whole new power by combining her two powers]].
* SwappedRoles: Kitty Pryde, who was 13 and a half when she joined the X-Men, studied under Jean and learned techniques for handling telepathic issues. Now she's an adult, teaching 16-year-old Jean from the past those same techniques.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Due to her TraumaCongaLine, she brainwashes Warren into submission ''twice''! And now in ''ComicBook/BattleOfTheAtom'' she manipulates Teen Scott by flattering him (after kissing Hank) to help her stay in the present, which will cause an Apocalyptic Future.
* TraumaCongaLine: Jean, a 16 year old girl, has her powers blooming early, with her attempts to deal with Power Incontinence adding to her troubles. She finds out she is going to die (repeatedly) and is, as far as she knows, still dead, while her teammates survive to the current day.
* WhatTheHellHero: Twice.
** In issue 8, she [[spoiler:modifies Teen Angel's behavior after he, understandably, [[FreakOut panics]] and tries to go back home. When Hank tries to call her out on this, she responds with "Henry, don't you of all people start lecturing me on using your God-given things for selfish purposes."]]
** Then Jean gets it again after [[spoiler:her meltdown when Angel leaves]].
