1st APPEARANCE: The Uncanny X-Men #1 (1963)
BIO: Potentially the most powerful telepath on Earth, Jean Grey was Professor Xavier's first protege. Destined to become one of the most storied, even mythic heroes (and at times villains) in the universe, a glimpse of what the next few decades will hold for young Jean would quite possibly overwhelm her to the point of paralysis.
STATUS: When Magneto enacted a plan to annihilate humanity from his orbiting space station, Avalon, Jean was handpicked for the strike force to stop him. Selected for her telepathic prowess to attack his weakest point -- his tortured soul -- Jean played a critical role in the confrontation, psi-linking with Xavier to hold Magneto on the astral plane until the others were close enough to act.
