50 Most Badass Women In Comics
39. Jean Grey
Where to start with Jean Grey, everyone’s all-time favourite super-redhead and frequent conduit for the Phoenix Force, one of the most powerful cosmic entities ever to grace Marvel’s pages?
On an exterior level, she is anything but a badass. We’re first introduced to Ms. Grey as a shy and retiring telepath recruited to Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, but possessing some of the most potentially devastating power sets out there.
Over the years, Jean makes us appreciate that potential and comes out of her shell, but her willingness to harness the Phoenix Force and loyalty to the X-Men cause will always rank among her best qualities.
