Duelist · Jean Elaine Grey-Summers

Phoenix

An Omega-level telepath and telekinetic, Jean Grey was already one of the most powerful Mutants on Earth. Her bond with the Phoenix Force — a cosmic entity embodying creation itself — made her one of the most powerful beings in the universe.

Jean and the Phoenix left Krakoa before the Timestream Entanglement struck. Their journey took them across the galaxy, saving countless civilizations. Sensing an unusual disturbance in time and space, Jean and the Phoenix decided to travel to Klyntar to eliminate the darkness at its source: Knull, the King in Black.
