JEAN GREY AND EMMA FROST: “WORKING TOGETHER”
Silence. Psychic Rescue in Progress.
In Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost (2020) #1
One of five essential X-tales specially designed to showcase some of Marvel’s best artists! When Storm is in danger, it takes two of the most powerful telepaths on Earth to make things right. Jean Grey and Emma Frost, together again for the good of Krakoa.
First Encounter
In Uncanny X-Men (1981) #131
No denying that Jean and Emma didn’t start off on great footing. The two originally met during the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” and needless to say they were not the most impressed with each other’s telepathic abilities.
(First) Silent Issue
In New X-Men (2001) #121
GIANT-SIZE is modeled after this issue, in some instances panel for panel! After delving into the mind of a psychically-imprisoned Professor Xavier, Jean and Emma showed off their “team synergy” without exchanging a single word.
Costume Swap
In New X-Men (2001) #139
Emma donned Jean’s red and gold Phoenix suit during an infamous psychic affair with Cyclops, and was quick to critique Jean’s look… after being found out. Ouch!
Jean Grey: Show-Off
In New X-Men (2001) #150
With the power of the Phoenix in her arsenal, doing things discretely isn’t exactly Jean’s style. This leads to an often theatrical display of her abilities, much to Emma’s disgust.
White Queen: Mentor?
In Jean Grey (2017) #9
In Jean’s solo series, Emma begrudgingly helped young Jean come into her own mind. Teen Jean may have been the main character of this run, but Emma always showed up with grown woman barbs!
Friends and Foes
In X-Men: Phoenix - Endsong (2005) #1
Despite countless disagreements and moments of genuinely disliking each other, Jean and Emma have proven to have each other’s backs. In X-MEN: PHOENIX-ENDSONG, Emma’s true appreciation for Jean shined through when she teamed-up with fellow X-Men to coax Jean back to reality.
