Jean Grey

Jean Grey is a fictional character who appears in Marvel Comics' American comic books. The character has also been known as Marvel Girl, Phoenix, and Dark Phoenix. The character was created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby and first appeared in The X-Men #1. (Sept. 1963). Jean is a member of the mutant subspecies of humans, who are born with superhuman abilities. She inherited telepathic and telekinetic abilities. She is a nurturing figure, but she is also an Omega-level mutant and the physical manifestation of the cosmic Phoenix Force. She also plays a significant role in the lives of other Marvel Universe characters, primarily the X-Men.

Jean is a powerful empath, able to feel and manipulate the emotions of others, as evidenced by her ability to sense and manipulate the dying of her friend Annie Richardson. Jean can also connect people's minds to the emotions of others, causing them to feel the pain they have caused. Jean is also one of the few telepaths capable of communicating with animals. She has an eidetic memory as a result of her telepathy. Jean possesses a high level of telekinetic ability, allowing her to levitate and move quickly around the animate and inanimate matter. She can use her telekinetic abilities on herself or others to simulate the power of flight or levitation, stimulate molecules to increase friction, create protective force fields out of psychokinetic energy, or project her telekinetic energy as a purely concussive force.
