Sort of a Grey Area...

[auggie18]

Boy, that coloring got pretty bad there. Tsk.

Jean might be coming back soon. Frankly, this is something I sorta want to avoid. Let me be clear. Jean is one of my all time favorite characters. I can and will go on at length talking about the evolution of her character, how she fits in with the X-universe, the dynamics of power, etc.

The big problem is that X-universe is howling pit of misery and pain and coming back just means putting her back on the chopping block. I would love a story where she comes back from the dead, flips everyone off, and goes to live a normal life somewhere far away from Scott Summers and his cursed penis.


In my head-canon, Jean's been back for a while. She and Wanda live in San Francisco together, sharing a small apartment. Wanda works at an alternative bookstore while Jean splits her time between working at a Teen crisis center and getting her psych doctorate. (She got her Masters during X-factor, I think.) They have a quiet, but happy life together.

(I know Wanda came back in Children's Crusade. I'm waiting to see how that plays out too.)


Hopefully Marvel will come up with something I like better. Until then, I have my head-canon.


Also, yes, Jean briefly had tentacles. I kinda wish she'd kept them. She seemed to like them and got good at using them in combat.

Also also, skipped most of the 90s comic-wise, so there's a big chunk of time missing from this.


For more Scarlet Witch/Marvel Girl, read X-men: First Class. Or, heck go back to the early comics.



The evidence was there since Day 1.

If Scott hooks up with the Haunted Vagina girl from Tarot... bad things, man. Bad things.

When did Jean have her arms tentacled?

[cleome45]

I think I'd be more likely to ship Wanda with Carol Danvers. Still, this is pretty cute.

[biod]

And why isn't this all over the internet?
Internet, I am dissapoint.

[biod]

I'd get the hell out of dodge too if I'd had half her history. Maybe she can join the Avengers?
Nah, she'd probably end up impregnated by her unborn child with consent of the team.

"Also, yes, Jean briefly had tentacles. I kinda wish she'd kept them. She seemed to like them and got good at using them in combat"
I'm sure she liked them ans I'm sure combat wasn't the only place she got good at using them *suggestive eyebrow wriggle*.

[hyperactivator]

This is now cannon for me.

[freezer]

Uncanny X-Men #261-263. The Morlock, Masque, did it.

[auggie18]

There you go!

[bjornwilde]

I like your canon and thinking about and expanding, it could be a really interesting mini if not full on series. Old characters who've come back but decide they've had enough of the pubic eye. The conflict can be them still helping people but avoiding notice and dodging their old friends/ex-lovers.

[misterbug]

And then there's this shot:



I dunno about you guys, but if she came back with the tentacles and the Phoenix force gets transferred to someone else (what's Quentin Quire doing these days?), I'd PAY for a Jean Grey book. For some reason the absent-minded braiding is insanely adorable...and the sheer possibilities of someone with tentacles for arms AND telekinesis/telepathy powers...

[icon_uk]

It's more what the tentacles heading down towards her... ummmm. nether areas are planning on doing whilst they are there.

[biod]

The guy to her right looks like he's the grumpiest person alive.

[book_of_daniel]

The spacing....of the word bubbles....in just that one panel....is so Claremontian....my eyes...are aching.

Yeah, she's clearly masturbating

[blue_bolt]

Okay. That second tentacle scan? Read while play Divinyls - Touch Myself

Seriously, we need someone to make a fanfic about this (not me, I'm still working on the Scott-Wolverine one and a choose your own adventure story based on WoW).

Also, yes Jean "the Witch is too pretty," for you to being able to not fantasize about.

[arilou_skiff]

Claremont has a thing for giving women tentacles doesen't he?

[shadowpsykie]

I approve of the Wanda/Jean Ship... it works perfectly...

also love the: wait, you're killing me with as stroke? Wasn't I just stabbed to death? IN THE SUN? WHAT THE HELL?

because seriously, that was the biggest problem i had with Morrison's series... also... the art hurt...

Re: Yeah, she's clearly masturbating

[shadowpsykie]

damn you! i can't unsee that now!

[silverzeo]

I still remember a What IF issue that if Jean was still around... causing all of the X-Men to die... more or less... I filed that as the same as the What If story about what would happen if Peter DIDN'T took that deal... you know, a screw you to fans.

[eyz]

HAAAAAAAA!!!
Make it go away!!

[eyz]

Bwahaha!
That was pretty fantastic! Awesome quick fun parodic summary :P

See how ridiculous the X-men history has become over the years? And that's only ONE character which has even skipped a bunch of years here and there (due to...errr...temporary deaths)

[wizardru]

The soliloquy. The Claremontian, Claremontian soliloquy!

[zenbro]

It's Banshee. IIRC, Masque had fused his mouth shut at the same time Jean got the tentacles. I'd be grumpy too.

[zenbro]

Note to Marvel: Jean/Wanda. MAKE IT SO.
