Why logan kills jean

Of course, death has always been something of a revolving door for the X-Men, but that's never been more true than in the current X-Men relaunch. Charles Xavier has learned to conquer death using a blend of mutant powers and Cerebro technology, meaning that - with possibly the sole exception of Kitty Pryde - anyone who's killed can be brought back at speed.

In fact, the Wolverine 1 preview shows one of Logan's apparent victims is Quentin Quire, making this Quentin's second death in the last couple of months. The interesting question is just what could turn Wolverine against his friends - and, particularly, against his beloved Jean Grey. Marvel's been not-so-subtly suggesting the X-Men have embraced polyamory on Krakoa, with hints of a love triangle between Cyclops, Jean, and Wolverine, and confirmation Kid Cable is dating all five of the Stepford Cuckoos.

After all these years, then, Wolverine and Jean Grey are finally something of an item - and yet, something will manipulate Logan into killing Jean once again. It will be fascinating to see how this comes to pass - and just how Wolverine gets payback.

Wolverine 1 will arrive in your local comic book shop on February 19th, I like the moment in isolation a lot, but when cut into the movie it had a powerful effect of damping that moment and kind of making the Munson family seem a little strange for keeping them there.

Mangold previously spoke about this scene — which is really more of a moment in a scene — in interviews, but to actually see it play out is nothing short of a kick to the gut.

It is not so much that the instance is super-emotional, but it robs viewers of that single time in the film were everyone is happy and guards for the characters and the audience can be let down.

The Munson dinner scene is perfect, reminding the Logan audience that even though they have gone on an emotional, ultra-violent roller coaster with characters they have known for nearly 20 years, there were happier times.

The Jean Grey interjection would have torn that apart faster than Logan going after a gang trying to swipe his wheels. Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day. At this point, everyone mourns her apparent death. Depressed for many months by Jean's apparent death and haunted by her psychic echo, Cyclops returns to Alkali Lake to mourn his loss. Once there, he releases a powerful optical blast towards the lake, breaking a telekinetic cocoon. Soon afterwards, Scott discovers Jean Grey in front of him - alive and well.

She manages to control Scott's power with hers, and the two share a kiss. During the kiss, Jean abandons herself to instinct and an unspeakable horror seemingly kills Scott. Worried for Cyclops, the other X-Men arrive at Alkali Lake, finding only Scott's glasses telekinetically floating in the air with stones and logs.

A little distant, they find an unconscious Jean. Back at the X-Mansion, Xavier explains to Logan how she survived using telekinetic energy , and how she is a Class 5 mutant with potentially limitless power due her mutation being seated in the subconscious part of her mind.

Because of this, Jean developed a dual personality; the conscious Jean Grey and the dormant Phoenix - a purely instinctual creature.

Jean Grey seduces Logan as the Phoenix. Later on, Logan returns to check up on Jean. Once there, she tries to seduce him, but when he refuses the Phoenix breaks through and possesses her. After attacking Logan, she escapes the Mansion and returns to her childhood home.

There, she was approached by both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants - who fight each other while Xavier and Magneto attempt to convince Jean to join their respective sides. Jean Grey kills Professor X as the Phoenix. When Xavier tries to block her alternate personality and begs her not to repeat the same mistakes that killed her close friend, the Phoenix becomes enraged and unleashes her power, destroying the home and killing Xavier.

Confused and saddened by her mentor's death, Jean follows Magneto to his hideout. Wolverine eventually follows them and tries to reason with Jean, but Magneto intervenes and defeats him. In spite of Callisto 's protests, Magneto believes he can use her powers for his aims, and brings her with him to Alcatraz Island to destroy Worthington's facility.

During the battle that follows the X-Men's arrival, Magneto tries to convince Phoenix to participate, but she appears uninterested during its duration. Wolverine almost manages to make Jean's personality resurface, but human soldiers intensify their fire on her, unleashing her rage.

The Phoenix breaks through again and takes over Jean's body. She starts a massive attack on everything and everyone within the area, destroying Worthington's facility and killing any human or mutant in her way. Among the mutants she destroyed were Arclight , Cyclops , Psylocke , and Quill. Jean Grey is killed by Wolverine 's claws. While everyone is forced to escape, only Wolverine manages to approach her, since his healing factor prevents her powers from disintegrating him.

When Logan manages to break through to Jean, she begs him to stop her. In tears, declaring his love to her, Wolverine stabs Jean Grey, killing her and putting an end to the destruction. Sometime after the events on Alcatraz, Jean's grave is placed near Scott's and Xavier's.

Several years later, Jean's death still haunts Logan. He still mourns her loss and has frequent hallucinations and nightmares of her. Jean "visits" Logan multiple times before he moves on from her death. The event had a profound impact on Jean, which she recalled as the moment that Mystique became a hero to her.

In , eight-year-old Jean was in the car with her parents John and Elaine Grey as they were driving. She asked her mother to change the station, to which Elaine responded by saying that Jean can listen to whatever song she wanted to when she was old enough to drive. At that moment, Jean's telekinetic powers flared up, moving the radio dial and changing the station.

When her mother asked her what is she doing, Jean denied it. As her telepathy started to manifest, Jean's mind was overwhelmed with voices, causing her to yell "Quiet! This unintentionally made Elaine fall asleep at the wheel of the car, steering it into the direction of an oncoming vehicle that resulted in a car crash. Jean's telekinesis saved her from being injured by the crash, but her mother was not fortunate enough to survive.

In , Jean Grey was a student at Xavier's School of Gifted Youngsters, as an outsider and is feared by some students due to the uncontrollable nature of her powers. She has had previous instances where nightmares have caused her powers to overload and shake the whole school, scaring her fellow students.

Later she walked down to her class where she bumps into new student Scott Summers with his brother Alex , he accidentally knocks her books out of her hands but she catches them telekinetically, she also looks into his mind briefly. When Scott expressed his annoyance, she snarkily told him there was little to read in the first place. Jean went on to practice her archery on campus, a special training technique Professor X gave her, she witnesses Scott unleash his power and destroy Charles favorite tree.

Later, upon learning that Kurt Wagner doesn't know American culture, Jean and her group friends went to the mall using Xavier's car keys which Scott stole. At the mall they go shopping for records, Jean and Scott bond over mutual respect for singer Dazzler, and Scott makes a joke to Jean saying she looks like Boy George. Next, they go to an arcade, Jean and Scott played together but run out of quarters, luckily Jubilee uses her ability to charge the machine and allow them to play for free.

Finally, the group sees a movie " Star Wars: Return of the Jedi ", and Scott and Jubilee enter a debate about what's the best Star Wars movie, to which Jean cited that they could at least know that the third film is the worst. When they returned, Scott discovered that his brother had been killed when he unwittingly destroyed the X-Mansion. They sneak aboard the helicopter carrying the captured mutants and it takes them to Alkali Lake.

While on the helicopter Scott mourns Alex and Jean told him that from reading Alex thoughts that he was the one who thought that Scott was going to do something that would change the world and had faith in his younger brother. Arriving at the facility the three run into Logan who has already gone through the adamantium process and release him. Logan proceeds to slaughter Stryker's men before escaping, Jean tries to calm him down with her mind. The three then proceed to rescue Hank, Moira, Raven, and Peter when Scott blasts through the walls of their cage.

The groups escape with one of Stryker's jets and don battle suits before heading to Cairo. Jean joins the battle against Apocalypse. During the final battle with Apocalypse , Jean briefly teams up with Cyclops until Professor X calls out to her for help in battle as he contests the deity in the astral dimension. Despite her hesitation, Professor X encourages her to let go of her fear and unleash the full extent of her powers.

With a lengthy roar, Jean casts torrents of energy upon Apocalypse, causing him extreme anguish and effortlessly disintegrating his astral form. As he sees Jean's power, he states that "all is revealed" before he is completely incinerated despite his healing factor power.

Though Professor X has apparently died, Jean senses that he still lives and heals his injuries. She later trains as one of the new X-Men. Jean unleashes her power of the Phoenix. By , Jean and the other X-Men had become national superheroes adored by the public at large. When the space shuttle Endeavour was damaged by the energy of the approaching Phoenix Force , Jean and the X-Men are dispatched into space to rescue the astronauts.

Though Nightcrawler and Quicksilver managed to rescue most of the crew, one of the astronauts noted that their commander was still aboard the shuttle. Despite Mystique's misgivings, Professor X convinced Jean and Nightcrawler to go back on to the shuttle to try and rescue the commander. Using her telekinesis, Jean held the broken fragments of the shuttle together while Nightcrawler located the commander.

However, when the Phoenix Force struck Endeavour , Nightcrawler was forced to teleport away with the commander, leaving Jean stranded on the shuttle. As the cosmic entity approached the X-Jet, Jean directed it towards her instead, sparing the lives of everyone onboard. Instead of destroying her, the Phoenix Force is absorbed into Jean's body while Endeavour exploded around her. Empowered by the Phoenix Force, Jean survived while floating in space before Nightcrawler teleported to her and brought her aboard the X-Jet.

Once back on Earth, Jean along with the rest of the X-Men were welcomed by a crowd of adoring fans. They were greeted upon their return to the Institute by the applause of their fellow students and a proud Professor X. After passing a routine health examination by Hank, Jean was rejoined by Scott in their shared bedroom. She mused about her condition and reassured Scott after almost losing her in the space mission that she would always return to him.

Joining the festivities around the school grounds celebrating their victory alongside Scott, Jean began to experience visions of the force that entered her body, overwhelming her thoughts.

In response, she released a massive wave of telekinetic force that swept her surrounding area, knocking back many of her fellow students and rendering her unconscious. As Jean laid dormant in her bedroom, Charles attempted to peruse into her thoughts using Cerebro with Hank and Raven by his side. Discovering that many of the psychic blocks that he erected in Jean's mind have eroded due to the incident in space, he attempted to calm the slowly awakening Jean.

Upon discovering that her father was still alive and that Charles lied to her about the incident, Jean managed to eject him from her mind, knocking him out, much to Hank and Raven's horror. Scott ran to Jean's side, who was horrified at the sight of the wound on his cheek which she believed she caused.

Despite Scott's reassurance, Jean resolved to locate her father, much to his confusion. In order to prevent Scott from interfering, Jean rendered him unconscious before leaving the Mansion.

Reuniting with her father, Jean sadly discovered that he removed all trace of her in his life, blaming her for the death of her mother. Rendering him unconscious as the X-Jet approached, Jean was confronted by her teammates who urged her to return home. As police cars approached the scene, Jean lost control of her burgeoning powers and flipped the cars over. Her escape was foiled by Nightcrawler, who she quickly defeated after a brief struggle, and even the combined efforts of her teammates could not subdue her, incapacitating Quicksilver in the process.

Mystique attempted to approach Jean to calm her, with Charles preventing any outside interference. However, Jean couldn't contain her powers and she accidentally killed her mentor, flinging Raven into a broken fencepost that impaled her. Horrified, she escaped, soaring into the sky. Finding an isolated corner in an urban locale, she attempted to clean the blood off of her hands, breaking down in tears and lamenting about her recent actions.

Jean sought refuge on the island of Genosha, where she was met with wary eyes. Magneto, the leader of the island, welcomed her. She sought comfort with him, who she believed would understand her current predicament.
