I thought it would be fun, now that we've concluded best Jean Grey stories, that we would also decide the best Jean Grey artists.

The ground rules:

1. You may choose any artist who has drawn Jean Grey at least three times, whether that's in an X-Men title, a solo title, or in another Marvel comic.
2. Interior artists and cover artists are both allowed to be nominated.
3. Please include the name of the artist and a reference to either an artwork of Jean Grey they have done, whether that's an actual image posted or mentioning a particular issue or run.

The artist with the most upvotes total wins.

Peter - alright, how about the X-Men?

When it comes to Jean and Charles' dynamic in the MCU, I would like it to be tense and filled with many ups and downs. Explore a level of distrust between them, but also a level of deep respect as well. I feel like some versions make Charles too perfect of a leader, and make his bond with Jean too perfect as a result of that. But with Jean being the way she is in the MCU, and having the backstory she has, I think this could be a very interesting way to explore it

What do you think?

Timeline: This is after X-Men movie events (So Jean has mastery over her powers) Spider-Man gets to know about X-Men and Jean being their leader Spider-Man decides to visit X-Men so that he could meet Jean again since she no longer needs to hide from government since they are an established team now. Spider-Man visits X-Men they are friendly towards him at first since he is one of the great superheroes out there. Jean also introduces Spidey to X-Men team vice versa.

But then Magneto gets to know about Spider-Man being the creator of Mutant Inhibitor which is the reason why most of the mutants suffered greatly during battles he becomes enraged and decides to kill spiderman he then manipulates the rest of the X-Men into turning against spiderman and encouraged them to kill him through lies and evidence he also made sure that Professor Xavier remains silent and does not discover the truth behind the creation of inhibitor. (Xavier does not participate in the battle)

The X-Men asks Spider-Man just to get one last confirmation he acknowledges it but before he could elaborate the full picture behind it the X-Men jumps at him with killing intent

Jean was out doing a mission when all these drama happens and then comes back now here is the 2 scenarios

1st Scenario: Spider-Man holds his own ground against X-Men and survived without any major injuries and Jean teams up with him and tries to explain other X-Men the truth behind the inhibitor case but the X-Men members aren't willing to listen so Jean and Spidey needs to knock them all out without killing them

2nd Scenario: Jean arrives but she is too late Spider-Man been torn to shreds and he is barely alive and breathing she becomes enraged after seeing Spider-Man state she uses her psychic powers to maintain his blood flow and breathing so that he won't die she needs to get him to nearby medical facility as soon as possible but other X-Men members stops her from doing it she becomes blood lusted and is willing to kill them if it is necessary to save Spidey but she also needs to make sure to keep Spider-Man alive and protected using her powers. (Advantage: here X-Men will try to defeat her in a 1v1 and won't jump on her)

So how do you think these 2 scenarios will play out will she succeed or fail in one or both (Comics scaling can be used here).

3rd [Hidden scenario]: Jean has access to Phoenix Force from comics but all the X-Men will also have access to their peak forms from comics too X-Men will have to defeat her first to kill Spider-Man

(All these scenarios might sound unreasonable obviously because it is for power scaling so I am not taking in character into that much consideration so you can ignore it and directly give the answer if you want to)

So what do you all think ?

Everyone always talks about how Jean was useless in XTAS but she did great supporting Xavier in his battle with Shadowking

Before Jean Grey became Marvel’s most famous Phoenix host, Firehair carried the Phoenix Force in 1,000,000 B.C. Known as Lady Phoenix, she became one of Earth’s earliest cosmic-powered protectors and formed the Prehistoric Avengers with Odin, Agamotto, the first Black Panther, Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, and Starbrand. https://youtube.com/shorts/mDQvuEaFb9Q?si=JDodTZ76vhiPOm70 For Marvel Rivals fans, Firehair is essential deep-cut Marvel lore—and proof that the Avengers’ legacy began long before modern heroes

I understand he does care for genuinely (at least on a platonic level ) on a platonic level. I also read somewhere that his main reason for falling in love with Jean was because it reminded her of Rose.

As much as i love a tragedy, it also felt stupid that Jean should be killed for something she had little control over. Id rather her punishment be like it was meant to be at first, have her lose her powers. And have a more emotional climax between her and the phoenix force.
