 I've read comments from Marvel.com and other comic websites displaying unfund hatred for one of the original X Men. So I want to create a thread dedicated to others appreciation and love for Jean grey. why you love her, and for some who hate her( and I know someone's gonna troll) why you do? Favorite moment, and especially feats that shows her strength and badassness.  GO!!!

I prefer Jean without the Phoenix Force because of the Phoenix arcs after the original.. JEan is my FAVORITE marvel character, and probably the X-man with the second most amount of fans(behind only Wolverine.)  Jean takes ALOT of hate because of the size of her fanbase, and the Phoenix, which, in turn with its namesake, allows Jean to rise from her ashes. Though I'm not a comic reader, I have seen ALOT of pictures here on Comicvine that are bad-ass.

I love Jean and its about time she got her own appreciation thread on comicvine. The things i like about jean are her powers, her relationships w everyone else and her costumes! One of my fav jean moments is where she guided the space shuttle in uxm to earth and her reunion w scott in xf.

Jean is one of my favorite characters, i grew up with reading and watching her awesomeness on tv. She is one really skilled character, and has some of the best costumes i've seen. But if she were to come back in 616, i would like to see her without the phoenix for a good while, cause i find her more interesting as a person, when she is just Jean Grey.

I used to really dislike Jean Grey, back when I first got into comics. She just seemed so perfect, with the Phoenix Force's level of power and everyone falling in love with her and being trusted by everyone. I just didn't feel I could relate to her and that she was basically written to be the dream girl.  
But when I read the Claremont run and saw her before she had those powers and seeing her relationship as it developed with Cyclops and with the other X-Men as well as reading how she was handling the Phoenix Force and how it changed her, and how she was affected by it, for better and for worse, I came to respect her. It's awesome that she has these god like powers but what really makes me a Jean Grey Fan flag waver is how she retained her humanity despite what she went though and kept from being drunk on power and from abusing it. She stays true to herself and to the X-Men even though she's now more powerful than them all and could just go off and create chaos or a new utopia.

@xxCellPhoneGirlxx: Jean is also a very nice person. She is honest and sincere. She means well. Unlike Emma.  : )

i like jean grey tho her relationship with cyclops and wolverine kinda made both men look douchey ie. wolverine constantly trying to get between her and scott even after they got married, and scott dumping the mother of his child without a second thought for her and then cheating on her with emma

Jean's strength. Her struggle to first master her own gifts and then being host to the phoenix force and all it's power

@latilya89: Jean is the original X-woman. She is a pioneer, and an amazing character. I miss her, so.

the first time i decided i liked Jean was the first time i read/ watched X-men, since i was very young i loved jean, she has always been my fav character in all marvel. She is so kind and has a great story. she is a major part of why i love the X-men and i cannot wait for her inevitable return. my fav part was when she expelled apocolypse from cyclops' body

What makes Jean awesome for one I think she was the first telekinetic in Marvel alone but the first telekinetic/telpath hybrid. Also another great thing is that the comic book always remind readers that Jean isnt perfect and it took time and sacrifice to grip her powers, relationships, and life. Finally the Best thing about Jean is her strong willed mind, loyalty and strength it took for her to weild the Phoenix Force and keep her sanity and not betray and destroy her x-men.

i was just hearing about hope and the second coming in march,and the some comments on comicvine want jean to stay dead. i have no idea why they say that knowing that she is part of the resurrection force. its just haters being haters and saying she's weak but they haven't read xmen revolutions and how badass she was. its the writers and their inept abilitiy to write a good jean story. i want something like a joss whedon character like illyria or willow people who have vast powers and are learning to be or stay human while interacting and fighting with others. sorry for the rant but had to be said. discuss your thoughts.

I've always loved Jean and Storm.  I used to hate Emma because of Jean.  Now, I just like both.   
 
I love Jean because I kinda picture her like Prue from Charmed, only far more awesome............She has a relationship with all of the X-Men, and the series doesn't quite feel the same without her their (Charmed!) 
 
And Rachel is NOT a replacement.  She's a half-filled cup.
