Nine Reasons it sucks to be Jean Grey!
That hair
Although I wouldn’t dare to make a gingers have no souls remark…
Everyone outside of the X-Men kinda hates you!
You can check this thread if you don’t believe me! Oh and this thread! There’s also this one!
She is not a very interesting character besides her bond with the phoenix. Her fans are INCREDIBLY rabid and annoying. She is the worst thing to happen to Cyclops.
That third X-Men movie
If the above threads weren’t bad enough, many fans of the X-Men and in particular fans of the movies hold Jean and the ‘Phoenix’ responsible for the fiasco that was the third movie! For the record I don’t! After sacrificing herself to save her friends, Jean mysteriously returns, Scott is drawn to the place he lost his partner and is surprised to find she’s alive and oh yeah she feels like some murder. Then she doesn’t feel like murder any more and leaves with Storm and Wolverine before she decides she hates the X-Men and Xavier (she kills him because she felt like murder again). Then she decides war would be fun so she sides with Magneto and then kills more people and tries to kill Wolverine then she dies.
Power fluctuations
From reaching her potential and reforming her corporeal body to passing out from halting the Juggernaut in her tracks, Jean has some serious power issues! Couple that with constant backlash from using her telepathic abilities and a moral compass that would make a nun look like a rebel, if others didn’t drive her mad then surely her own powers would have done it sooner or later.
For whatever reason most of Jean’s power problems are in the animated versions of her character and in the movies (Cerebro crushes her mind).
That awful 90’s cartoon costume
