jean's past was revealed and she is shown in her teenage years being confronted by magneto and professor x, ultimately joining the x-men, becoming part of the original five that included angel, iceman, beast and cyclops. magneto then tried to force jean to join by attacking the x-men, but she fought and defeated magneto, forcing the extremist to admit that she was much stronger than originally thought. specifically, jean prevented magneto from crushing a visorless cyclops with a bus and using her telekinetic powers to restrain cyclops's optic beams, then telepathically guided cyclops aiming at magneto, blasting magneto's helmet off; it was around this time that she apparently developed a romantic relationship with scott summers. after working at the institute for a few years, logan develops a huge romantic crush on her at first sight. scott and logan confront each other regarding this matter, which ended with jean scolding scott for lashing out at wolverine. in the pilot, she is still shown berating scott for poor behavior towards wolverine and demands that scott apologize.
