One of the most powerful telepaths and telekinetics on Earth, and the woman at the center of the X-Men's most defining story. Jean's bond with the Phoenix Force — the cosmic entity of life, death, and rebirth — has shaped the franchise more than almost any other element. She has died and returned more than anyone, each time fundamentally changed.
