History: Jean grew up with
her family in New York living a normal, upper class life until the day came that
her powers manifested themselves. Jeans powers, while small at first and
confusing, were able to be subdued enough to go on living a normal life. It
didn't take long however for her powers to grow completely out of hand to the
point that Mr. and Mrs. Grey were left with no other choice but to commit Jean.
However, Professor Charles Xavier reached the Grey family before they could put
Jean away. He 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 joined the
X-men when it was still young, and had only one previous and current member,
Scott Summers (aka Cyclops). This was a blessing in disguise for Jean as she
could work constantly with the professor to develop her telepathic ability and
slowly grow controls over it enough to be able to use it. The Professor has
modified his shields on Jean's mind to allow for her ever-growing control over
them. And, with Scott, Jean relearned how to deal with other people and her
powers at the same time. With Scott and Jean being the only X-men, they grew
very close and have become great friends and even better X-men together. Thanks
to the Professor and her time on the X-men. Jean has also readjusted her view on
life. Before her powers, Jean didn't have a care in the world. She could live
however she wanted to with her parents and never have any true problems. Now,
Jean sees the world more clearly and has changed a great deal because of it. One
of the main way she's changed is her focus on learning and medicine. Jean loved
what Professor Xavier was able to do for her, and thinks of him as a mentor and
father figure because of it. Now, she realizes with her talents and abilities
she could learn how to help people through medicine. Jean still manages to
socialize but makes sure she still has a deep route in her school work and
especially in studying to become a doctor. She even serves as a type of
nurse/doctor to all of the team and works at learning more about it. Now with
more and more students joining the X-men, Jean has more of challenge learning to
deal with her powers and now a full fledged team of students. She's deeply
devoted to Xavier's dream and is happy to see that more people can be helped by
Xavier like her and Scott and want to join the team to help in that fight. |
