Jean Grey (Earth-4126)

"Jean's mind is stronger than any I have ever encountered. Even stronger than mine."

-Charles Xavier

Childhood
Jean comes from a rather large family. She had five older brothers and two older sisters. Being the youngest, Jean got a lot of attention, which she absolutely hated. As her siblings got older and began to move away, she began feeling more and more pressure, feeling she needed to impress her parents just as much as they did.

Struggles
When Jean was in High School she joined the debate team, female basketball team, and the school newspaper. She began having even more troubles when she started struggling with her sexuality. Eventually she came to the conclusion that she was bisexual, but decided not to tell her parents. Things began getting even worse when her powers started acting up. She began hearing everyone's thoughts at once and she couldn't close them out.

X-Men
After getting home, she had a mental breakdown and made her parents and sister go temporarily comatose. Having no idea what to do, she panicked, mentally asking for help. It wasn't long until Charles Xavier arrived and got Jean to calm down. He put a mental block on her full potential and healed her family. Jean's parents gave her permission to go with Xavier and joined the X-Men.
