__ Jean Grey (Phoenix) – X-Men __ Jean Grey is a fictional super heroine appearing in the X-Men comics created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, her first appearance being in //X-Men #1// which was released in September 1963. She is also known by the aliases Marvel Girl, Phoenix and Dark Phoenix. Jean Grey has the ability of telepathy and telekinesis. After she became Phoenix, the Phoenix Force granted her the powers to fly in space and on earth, manipulate any form of matter and energy with her mind, can create cosmic balls of fire, has the ability to manipulate timelines, can resurrect from death and manipulate life energy in others. She also became one of the strongest X-Men of all time after being the weakest member. Before she became Phoenix, Jean Grey wore the original X-Men tight-fit yellow uniform with the blue X-Men belt and blue gloves and boots. Jean was reborn as Phoenix after dying from radiation poisoning, just after defeating the evil Dr Stephen and his robotic sentinels. She then changed her costume to a green-tight fit uniform with yellow gloves, boots and a flowing yellow sash tied around her waist, while bearing a yellow phoenix on her chest and taking the appropriate codename Phoenix. When mental manipulation by Mastermind causes Phoenix to become corrupt and insane, she becomes Dark Phoenix. She then commits suicide to protect the universe and is then reborn once again, into her clone, which she then defeats. The Phoenix and Dark Phoenix Saga is a well-known and heavily referenced mainstream American superhero comic, and is widely considered a classic. Jean Grey is smart and passionate about her abilities, her friends and the cause the X-Men fight for. Jean would do anything for her fellow X-Men. I chose Jean Grey as my hero because she is very inspiring, brave, passionate and caring. She has the traits of a true hero which many people look up to. By Isabella
