30 Days of Scans: Character I'd bring back from the dead

[ebailey140]

There's so many great characters I think got shafted, but if I could choose only one...

It would be Jean Grey.

Here was a character that was the heart of the X-Men (Something they've been lacking, since). Not only that, but she really had the potential to give Marvel it's own Wonder Woman. Not only was she powerful and complex, but marketable. The Phoenix insignia is instantly recognizable, and could have given Marvel a brand.

8 out of 30 pages from X-Men Origins: Jean Grey by Sean McKeever and Mike Meyhew...

Alyson Hannigan - is that you?

Seriously. The Annie death page with crying Jean in profile? It's like, "Did Jenny Calendar just die again?"

I agree with the sentiment though. I miss Jean tremendously. And on her inevitable return, I hope she looks and Scott and Emma and shrugs. Just Say No To Cyclops

I'd really like to have the option to bring her back, but not be on the X-Men.

I mean, Jean is one of the universes heavy hitters. Even when she's not all Phoenix-y, she's one of the top 5 telepaths plus an extremely gifted telekinetic who has shown extremely fine control over it that most others don't have.

I'd put her on the Avengers with the other God-level people. Or just have her start her own team. She can come back to the x-men in five, ten years. Let Scott and emma do their thing.

And there would be a good reason for this..just have her spend an afternoon with Hank (Beast) and hear from him why he's not running with the X-men and then he invites her to join the Avengers.

Really with you there. I mean, three of the original X-men were on other teams. Why not Jean?
