comics Respect Jean Grey (Marvel, 616)
We come into this world alone and we leave the same way. The time we spent in between - time spent alive, sharing, learning together... is all that makes life worth living.
Introduction
Jean Grey was at one point, a seemingly average girl living an average life with her loving family. However, things took a turn to the unexpected, as when Jean was ten years old she was playing with her best friend, Annie Richardson when Annie was hit by a car. The emotion that Jean felt as she held her dying friend awakened her own latent telepathic powers and she experienced Annie's own emotions as she died, leaving Jean traumatized and unable to properly control her newfound telepathic powers.
Seeking help, a psychiatrist recommended to her parents that they consult a colleague of his, Professor Charles Xavier, who was secretly a mutant with telepathic abilities of his own. Prof. Xavier explained to Jean, but not to her parents, that she was a mutant and he trained her in secret for several years, along with creating psychic barriers in her mind preventing her from using telepathic powers until she had matured more. Eventually, she was recruited to join the X-Men with the code-name Marvel Girl.

Teenage Jean
In All New X-Men (2013), Beast recruited the original five X-Men from the past and brought them to the present to fight against Cyclops' mutant regime. They remained in the present with the X-Men, going on the usual missions and such, with Jean eventually being targeted by the Phoenix Force until it ended up killing her. Jean then forced the Phoenix to resurrect her and leave her alone, living relatively normally until she and the other 4 original X-Men were returned to their proper time by Cable. Notable feats and high ends will be bolded.
