The Many looks of Jean Grey Part Ten ..... From the Ashes a new Jean arises ?

 The story that had told  about The Phoenix would later be changed, and whilst the Real Jean Grey lay asleep and recuperating in the depts of Jamaica Bay, another red head appeared in Scott Summers' and the  X - Men's lives. Her back story would be later adapted, but Scott and the other X-Men were about to meet a future Queen.

After Jean's death and her funeral, Cyclops aka Scott Summers took a break from leading the Xmen. He travelled trying find his place in the world. A place without his Jean.

He would return on occasions to help his fellow X-Men, but it always reminded him of his loss.....  On a visit to visit his Grandparents in Alaska Scott bumped into a woman called Madeline Pryor. This woman was the spitting image of Jean. Maddie worked as a pilot who was employed by the North Star Airlines, the company owned by Scott's Grandparents. ( X-Men 168 1983 )





Scott at first believed that this was Jean, and that as the Phoenix she had risen from the ashes, as she had done when the Space Shuttle crashed and sank in Jamacia Bay.  Scott was somewhat taken back when Maddie even explained that she had been the sole survivor of a plane crash, which Scott realised had happen on the same day that Jean had died on the Moon. He was confused. Was this Jean or not.? They looked the same, sounded the same, had the same kind nature...... but to Scott it was clear that they had very different personalities. The Jean Scott had know when his Jean  had transformed into Phoenix she could have  two distinct personalities at times. So he was still not totally convinced.

He tested Maddie at times trying to get her to admit she was really Jean.... but Maddie insisted she was not Jean.... All that she knew was she was in love with Scott.

Later he would be content and believed that Maddie was not Jean. He had loved Jean, but Jean was now gone, However, he was now  convinced he was in love with Maddie.

The two started a relationship and the couple later would marry. They would later become parents to Nathan Summers.

However, Maddie and Scott's relationship would be tested many times. He hated that he missed his time as an X-Man and would be forever going off to aid them leaving her and Nathan at home .Maddie hated that she and the Baby would always come second to Scott life as a X-Man. 

Then one day Scott got a phone call..... Telling him Jean was alive !!!! This would change Maddie's life forever.

He packed a bag and rushed off to see Jean. Maddie was not happy, but she would have the last laugh.... and  everyone would learn WHO, WHY and WHAT Maddie really was !

Next time we meet the "Real" Jean again with another new look..


Until the enjoy
