Explanation of the conversion:
History: Jean Grey is the younger daughter of John Grey, a history
professor at Bard College in New York State, and his wife Elaine. When
Jean was ten years old her best friend Annie Richardson was killed by an
automobile. Jean's outpouring of emotion as she held her dying friend
activated her latent telepathic powers, causing her to experience Annie's
own emotions as she died. Traumatized by this experience and unable to
control her newly awakened powers, the young Jean became severely
withdrawn and depressed.
When she was eleven, Jean's parents took her to meet Professor Charles Xavier, who realized she was a mutant and treated her for several years. Xavier erected psychic shields in Jean's mind to prevent her from using her telepathic powers until she had become sufficiently mature to control them, and he taught her how to use her emerging telekinetic abilities.
Jean was in her middle teens, she joined the X-Men, a group of other young mutants whom Xavier was training in the use of their powers. She assumed the code name Marvel Girl and worked along side Angel II, the Beast, Cyclops and Iceman (X-Men #1).
Jean soon fell in love with her fellow student, Scott Summers, alias
Cyclops, but for years they were each too shy to express their feelings
for each other.
Xavier finally removed the psychic shields from Jean's mind when he was
faced with the threat of the alien Z'nox. Since then, she has proved highly
adept at using her telepathic powers.
Jean left the X-Men shortly after Xavier recruited a second team of
students, but continued her romantic relationship with Scott.
Shortly afterwards Jean and other X-Men were abducted by Steven Lang's
Sentinels to Lang's orbiting space. After defeating Lang the X-Men had to
escape back to Earth in a space shuttle through a lethal solar radiation
storm. The pilot's cabin lacked sufficient shielding against radiation,
but Jean insisted on piloting the craft herself. While she was dying from
radiation poisoning, the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix Force appeared
to Jean. The Phoenix Force created a body for itself that was identical to
Jean's, duplicated her memories and personality, and absorbed a portion of
her consciousness. It then guided the X-Men's shuttle to a crash landing in
Jamaica Bay off New York city. The Phoenix Force also cast the real Jean
into suspended animation within a strange pod that rested on the bottom of
Jamaica Bay while slowly healing her.
Under the name Phoenix the cosmic being joined the X-Men, who believed
it was the real Jean. Months later the X-Men's foe Mastermind began
mentally manipulating Phoenix's mind, ultimately brainwashing her into
becoming the Black Queen of the sinister Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club.
In the process he inadvertently caused
Phoenix to turn insane, becoming Dark Phoenix, a danger to the entire
cosmos. Ultimately, the portion of Jean's consciousness within Phoenix
resurfaced and caused Phoenix to commit suicide rather than wreak further
destruction. Upon the death of the Phoenix Force's physical body, the
portion of Jean's consciousness it had absorbed returned to Earth and
ultimately was reabsorbed by Jean.
Eventually the Avengers found the pod in Jamaica Bay and turned it over to the Fantastic Four for study. The real Jean Grey then released herself from the pod, fully healed, but once again only having telekinetic powers (Fantastic Four #286).
She was reunited with Scott and the other original members of the X-Men, and together they founded a new team, the original X-Factor.
Jean reluctantly reforged a relationship with Cyclops, who was nonetheless married at the time to Jean's clone, Madeline Pryor. During the demonic invasion called Inferno, Jean and Madeline fought an intense battle on the psychic plane, which brought Madeline's origins to light and restored Jean's telepathy and fractured psyche but left Madeline dead (X-Factor #38).
Jean fought with X-factor until they returned to the X-men after battle with the Shadow King, and Jean fought with the Gold Team.
Soon after, Jean and Cyclops realized their love for each other in marriage, and left the team for a honeymoon. During their honeymoon, however, their spirits were transported two millennia into an alternate future and were placed in new bodies by the Askani cult. Their leader, Rachel Summers, the daughter of the Scott and Jean of an alternate reality, had served in the X-Men under the name Phoenix III. As Slym and Redd, Scott and Jean spent years in that future time, raising Nathan, the son of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor, who had earlier been brought to the future. Eventually Scott and Jean returned to their own time and bodies, leaving Nathan in the future to become the heroic warrior Cable.
The couple returned to our time, and Jean continued to fight alongside the X-Men. During this time, she began using the Phoenix code-name for herself. She was one of the first to discover the traitor to the X-men, Professor X's split personality, Onslaught.
More recently, Scott and Jean were among the X-men abducted by the mutant-hating Bastion, and Jean helped Scott survive a nanotech bomb placed in his body. They both took a leave of absence from the team shortly after as Scott recuperated. During this time, Jean was contacted by Nina, one of the powerful beings known as the Mannites. Scott and Jean gather their own team of X-Men to stop the threat against the Mannites, and ran against the villain Death IV, who ultimately was revealed to be Wolverine, brainwashed by their archenemy Apocalypse.
Scott and Jean returned to the X-Men in time to be captured as part of Apocalypse's so-called Twelve, mutants that could be used in order for Apocalypse to gain ultimate power. With the X-Men's help, Apocalypse was defeated, but only through the apparent sacrifice of Scott, who appeared to have been bodily absorbed by the villain. Jean continued to adventure alongside the X-Men, refusing to believe that Scott had truly died. Eventually, she joined Cable in the faction of the X-Men led by Gambit.
For a while Jean lost her telekinetic abilities, but she eventually regained them.
She was among the heroes incapacitated by Graviton when he attempted to take over the Earth once again (Thunderbolts #57).
Professor X, the Beast, Wolverine, Phoenix IV and Cyclops have re-opened Xavier's school, now called Xavier's Institute of Higher Learning, to the mutant population at large, training and educating new students to help them cope with their powers. Summers now helps to educate and train dozens of young mutants, many severely disfigured or requiring specialized training and technology.
Trivia: In 2000 animated television series X-Men: Evolution, the Jean's voice is suppiled by actress Venus Terzo. In the 2000 X-Men film and it's sequal the part of Jean was played by actress Famke Janssen. In the 1992 X-Men animated series Jean's voice was supplied by actress Catherine Disher, who also suppiled the voice of Jean for several Capcom video games.
Powers: Telepathy, enabling her to read minds, project her thoughts into others' minds, and stun the minds of others with mental bolts. She has proven capable of making people see things that are not there, and taking direct control of their thoughts. She is also capable of wide-range telekinesis and often uses this for flight and forming force fields.
