Top Ten Jean Grey Covers of all time
10. X-men Forever # 3
Jean relives important key moments in her life while at the same time re-bonding with the Phoenix force. The cover depicts Jean in her Revolution era costume, which was extremely short lived and forgotten by most fans. Prior to this costume, Jean had been wearing her traditional green Phoenix costume and calling herself Phoenix.

Okay, I know I posted a similar Black Qeeen image not too long ago, but I’m having fun with the blog post feature at Flickr.com. And, come on, this is a great pose and excellent costume. I can live with THIS Black Queen reigning.
Jean Grey in Top 10 Female Hotness in Spandex
While I certainly agree Jean Grey should be on this list I am disappointed in a #3 ranking. Hop on over to Hot Females in Spandex to read the entire list.
Jean Grey: Quantum Physics in Leather. Movies: X-Men series. Actress: Famke Janssen
Jean Grey is limitless power and as much as I telekinesis the saint aspect of her personality is not that compelling. However when the Phoenix came into the game and suddenly Jean Grey was all red and pyrokinetic, I was ecstatic, because Jean killed around five billion people in the comic book, while in the movie she turned schizophrenic and joined Magneto. I fancy heroes turning villains and thanks to the CGI team Famke aced the transformation and did unspeakable things. For this third place is secured for her. The red leather outfit couldn’t replace the missing flames in the movies, but gave the much needed villain aura.
Would Jean Grey be Happier with Scott or Logan?
When I think of Scott and Jean I think of soul mates. Of course we must disregard the farce of the storyline being fed to us know with Scott and Emma (see my thought on Scott and Emma). When I think of Jean and Logan I think of an illicit and sordid affair. So obviously my loyalties lie with Scott, despite his uncharacteristic coupling with Emma.
But Jean has also been paired with Wolverine on more than a few occasions as writers try to force a square peg in a round hole, in my humble opinion. But I realize there are many fans of Logan that may disagree with me. So let me hear you – both sides.
What do other Jean Grey fans think? Who would you rather see Jean with ultimately?
Please leave your responses in the comments.
Dark Phoenix Rising…Again
Mark Gardner has created another wonderful comic poking fun at Jean Grey. He additionally makes fun of a few other things such as coming back from death, Wolverine’s overuse and a few other overdone plot lines.
X-men Death Becomes Them
This is hilarious. Watch the entire movie to see Phoenix steal the show at the end. Excellent work Matt Gardner, the cartoon’s creator.
Uncanny X-men 137
#2 Comic to Own for Phoenix Fans – “Phoenix Must Die”
The second most important phoenix comic to own after Uncanny X-men 101 is Uncanny X-men 137 where we witness the death of Jean Grey / Phoenix. Maybe the best written comic of all time.
The X-Men find themselves amidst a Shi’ar tribunal, hovering around earth to judge and sentence the Phoenix. Charges are presented. There is legal wrangling. A duel for Phoenix is agreed upon, and the X-Men are given a day to rest. The duel is to be between the X-Men and the Imperial Guard, and they fight on the Dark Side of the Moon in a base of fabulous technology. They fight valiantly but are defeated one by one. Phoenix goes out of control and Professor X directs the X-Men to attack her. Scott talks Phoenix to her senses, and she sacrifices herself to save the universe.
Below are active auctions on eBay if you wish to purchase Uncanny X-men 137 – “Phoenix Must Die”
Uncanny X-men 101
#1 Comic to Own for Phoenix Fans – “Enter the Phoenix”
It all started with Uncanny X-men 101, with Phoenix bursting forth from Jamaica Bay, changing the history of Comics forever. Phoenix’s first appearance is one of the top covers of all-time. This is the first appearance and origin issue of Phoenix.
They are taken to a S.H.I.E.L.D. orbital platform under the command of the anti-mutant activist Steven Lang, who is plotting to unleash Sentinels. The other X-Men rescue them. During the space station’s destruction, the X-Men find that their shuttle has been damaged in the fight with the Sentinels. Someone must stay at the controls and pilot the ship, while everyone else remains in the shuttle’s heavily-shielded life cell.
Knowing no one else could survive long enough to pilot the shuttle to safety, Jean uses her telepathy to learn how to pilot the shuttle and her telekinesis to block the radiation as she pilots the ship back to Earth. Her telekinetic shields give way under the onslaught of the intense radiation. The strain of holding the solar radiation at bay with her powers destroys the psychic shields Xavier placed in her mind as a child, and Jean assumes her ultimate potential as a psychic, becoming an entity of pure thought. The shuttle crashes into a bay, and Jean telekinetically reforms her body and emerges from the water of Jamaica Bay.
You simply must own this if you are a fan of the Phoenix. Below are available auctions on ebay.
