Out of all the members the X-Men have claimed over the course of more than sixty years, Jean Grey has undoubtedly been at the center of more tragedy than almost any other. Unsurprisingly, the majority of these have also featured the cosmically powered Phoenix Force in some capacity. What is surprising, however, is the fact that the Phoenix didn’t necessarily need to be present for these storylines to come to fruition.As odd as this might seem, it is largely due to the preternatural connection Jean shares with the Phoenix Force. However, this quality isn’t limited to Jean alone. Despite choosing a myriad of hosts over the course of millennia, the Phoenix Force has consistently returned to not just Jean, but various members of the Grey Family. As it turns out, there is actually a good explanation for this phenomenon, and it involves a genetic trait known as the Grey Genome.When the Phoenix Force first appeared in 1976’s X-Men #101 (by Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum, Frank Chiaramonte, and Bonnie Wilford), it did so in the form of a cosmically possessed Jean Grey. Although it would be explained later on that the Phoenix was drawn to Jean due to her nearly limitless potential, this wasn’t the only reason why the cosmic entity has sought her and other members of her family out so consistently over the years. Instead of any raw psychic connection between the two, it would later be revealed that Jean and the rest of her family all carried within them a very specific genetic trait, now known as the Grey Genome, that afforded them such vast potential in the first place.One of Marvel’s Most Dangerous X-Men Once Became Sorcerer Supreme – And it Was TerrifyingThe X-Men’s Latest Ally Also Killed Their Greatest Leader
