Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Jean Grey, aka Marvel Girl and later Phoenix, is one of the five original X-Men, an extremely powerful mutant with tremendous mental capabilities. Left comatose by the first emergence of her vast powers at the age of ten, Jean has always been wary of the magnitude of her abilities - when the looming threat of her power becomes too much for her, she sometimes assumes the role of the wilting flower while still possessing the biggest wild card of the entire team. Jean's got brains and beauty, having become quite the redheaded pin-up girl of the X-Men universe. Her ultimate ogle potential hit an all-time high with her affiliation with X-Factor as her somewhat tasteful previous costumes were replaced with a spandex uniform that may as well have been painted on. Let's be honest: Power is sexy. Brains are sexy. Jean Grey has both in severe excess.
