Powers and abilities[]
Jean Grey is a omega-level mutant and is one of the most powerful. Her immense telepathic and telekinetic abilities make her the most powerful psychic on the planet, as well as the most potentially dangerous if she lose control or fall under the influence of the Phoenix Force.
- Telepathy: As a telepath, Jean can detect and read the thoghts of others, project her own thoughts into other's minds, form psychic links with other beings, control others' minds so as to manipulate their physical functions, mentally stun opponents with bolts of pure psionic force, cast near-flawless mental illusions, and project her mind and the minds of others onto the astral plane.
- Telekinesis: Jean possesses a high-level of telekinetic ability that enables her to psionically levitate and rapidly move about all manner of 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 purely concussive force.

She meets Vuk, who intends to take the Phoenix force from her. However as Vuk is attempting to drain Jean. Jean takes her into outer space, retakes the power that Vuk had received earlier, and then kills her. Jean then disappears in a burst of energy in the form of a phoenix. In the aftermath of the incident, Xavier's school is renamed the "Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters".

X-Men '97[]
Jean Grey appears in the Disney+ Marvel animated series X-Men '97, which is a direct continuation of the 1992 X-Men animated series.
Prior to the beginning of the series, Jean was at somepoint switched with a clone who was living her life and had a son (Nathan Summers who would grow up to become Cable) with her husband, Scott Summers. The X-Men were oblivious to the switch until Jean showed up at the mansion. Beast determineed that she was real Jean. The villainous Mister Sinister contacted the other Jean, revealing her to be a clone he created to gain access to her and Cyclops's DNA. Sinister took control of her mind, turning her into the Goblin Queen. She gave Nathan to Sinister and subjected the X-Men to horrific visions based on their worst fears. The real Jean confronted the Goblin Queen telepathically and used their shared memories to free her from Sinister's control. The clone Jean and Cyclops saved Nathan, who was left gravely ill after Sinister infected him with a techno-organic virus. The clone Jean, who now called herself Madelyne Pryor, sent Nathan to the future with Bishop to find a cure for the virus.
Following Madelyne's departure, Jean and Cyclops became somewhat distant from each other, unable to recoline their separate lives. Jean even discovered that Cyclops and Madelyne had been communicating telepathically.
