Welcome to Wolverine & Jean Grey Website's Intimate Moments Page  

This page will take you through all the special moments Jean & Logan have shared in the comic books. Starting from their very first meeting....

Classic X-Men #1 (Sep 1986) - "First Night"
During the Krakoa mission and its immediate aftermath Wolverine had seen Jean Grey then codenamed Marvel Girl, but he had not had any opportunity to see her alone. When he was back in Westchester, he found her alone on the mansion grounds. "I know what I want the minute I lay eyes on it," Wolverine told Jean. Jean had long been in love with team leader Scott Summers, but to her surprise, she found herself attracted to Wolverine even as she told him she wasn't. Seeing Jean and Wolverine together, Warren Worthington III also known as Angel leapt to the conclusion that he was physically threatening her. Perhaps Warran already distrusted Wolverine, or perhaps his judgement was affected by his own feelings for Jean, for he had once been in love with her himself. In any event Angel rushed in and seized Wolverine, claiming he was defending her because she was Scott's girlfriend, "and even if she wasn't, she's too good for the likes of you!" The two mutants started fighting, and the furious Wolverine soon lost control of himself. Berserk, he slashed his claws at Angel, who saved himself only through his ability in flight. Finally Storm put an end to the fight before anyone got seriously hurt by separating the two with bursts of lightning. When the fight was over, Wolverine was overcome with shame over his outburst of rage. Perhaps he had thought his berserker days were behind him. But his killer instincts had re-surfaced at the worst possible time, before he had even settled into his new team. "Flyboy's right," he told Jean. "I really am bad news. As crazy as they come." He then asked Jean to go away, but instead of leaving Jean sympathized with Logan when she saw the vulnerable man beneath the raging beast. "I'm not afraid," she told him. "I feel your pain, Wolverine - the anguish of body and spirit - I want to help. So does Professor Xavier - otherwise, why bring you here? I'm glad I met you. Welcome to the X-Men." Thus Wolverine found his first friend in this new world he had entered.

X-Men: The Wedding Album #1 (1994) - "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue & Gold"
Later that evening, Jean Grey writes in her diary that she feels “…almost giddy…” after her initial meeting with Wolverine, intrigued by his mysterious nature and, despite his ferocity in battle, “…it is clear that underneath it all he has a very gentle soul.”

Classic X-Men #27/2 (Nov 1988) - "Backlash”
Even later that same night, Wolverine (still in civilian clothes), Scott and Jean go out for a short drive, stopping at a greasy spoon for a late night snack. While Scott goes to buy burgers, Wolverine and Jean discuss their future. He tells Jean that though she loves Scott, she wants him. Jean reluctantly agrees, adding that one of them must leave the team. Before they can decide who should depart, a very oblivious Scott returns with the food. Suddenly, Jean senses trouble at a nearby factory and carries the threesome there telekinetically. As they begin to investigate, the floor beneath Jean and Wolverine gives way. Deep inside the factory, Jean searches for the trouble she sensed previously, while Wolverine talks to her in a very provocative way. Jean rebukes him for touching her, but soon realizes that a small alien-like creature is wrapped around her arm. Wolverine slices it up with his claws, but each piece comes back to life. While Jean backs away from the creatures, Wolverine seems to enjoy the horror film atmosphere. Jean creates a telekinetic bubble against the creatures, but they continue to attack. As the creatures completely cover the ever-shrinking bubble, Jean and Wolverine are forced into each other's arms. As Jean begins to give into her desires, the chemicals in the factory ignite, destroying the creatures. As Scott watches, Wolverine and Jean, still within the now flaming telekinetic bubble, land at his feet. When Scott asks how Jean is, Wolverine interjects, "Best time I've had in months..."

Classic X-Men #1 (Sep 1986) - "First Night"
Later, Xavier complimented Jean on her handling of the situation with Wolverine. To reassure her that she had judged Wolverine correctly, he explained why he brought him into the X-Men. "I know Wolverine has rough edges - he may well prove the most difficult and dangerous student I have ever taught - but I believe the reward is well worth the risk. Given time and care, he has the potential to become a keystone of the team." Jean, though, was far more shaken by her encounter with Wolverine than she let on when she welcomed him into the group. Like the Angel and Iceman, she was planning to leave the X-Men. In part this was because she wanted to learn what it was like to lead a normal life rather than that of a super hero, contstantly risking her own safety. But Wolverine's presents was an additional motive for departure. "I love Scott with all my heart," Jean told the Professor. "But I can't deny the attraction between me and Wolverine. The longer we are together... the more afraid of yielding." After Jean, the Angel, Iceman, Havok, and Polaris all officially quit the team, Cyclops spent many weeks putting the new X-Men through an intensive training program, honing their abilities to use their powers, and, even more importantly, molding them into an effective team.

X-Men #98 (Apr 1976) – “Merry Christmas, X-Men…”
The next time Wolverine and Jean Grey meets again was on Christmas. The coming of Christmas brightened the spirits of all X-Men. All, that is, save Wolverine. Having been by his own admission, a loner since childhood, Wolverine had no intention of celebrating the holidays with the others. Expressing his thoughts on the season is a manner worthy of Ebeneezer Scrooge, Wolverine left his new collegues behind at Manhattan's Rockefeller Centre, and wandered off on his own. He was to see them all again much sooner than he had imagined. New York City was also the location of the headquarters of the Hellfire club, a centuries-old social organisation with a past notorious for decadence. Today, unknown to the world at large, the Hellfire clubs Inner Circle in actuality a cabal of powerful businessmen who sought to gain economic and polical dominance of the entire world. At this time, the Council of the Chosen, as the Circle was then known, was headed by a man named Edward Buckman, who's hatred of superhuman mutants had led him to finance a project intended to spell their doom. The Council had enabled Dr. Eric Lang, a roboticist who's hatred for mutants was even more fervid, to recreate the Sentinels, enormous robots designed specifically to capture superhuman mutants. And it was now during this holiday season when his victims least expected it, that Lang launched his attack. These Sentinels soon succeeded in capturing both Jean Grey and Wolverine himself, taking them on board Lang's space station headquarters. Enraged by seeing Lang strike Jean, Wolverine used his adamantium claws to slice his way free of his prison, and then to rip appart the Sentinel that tried to stop him. Once Jean was free, she tried to tear the long evening gown she had been wearing when captured to give herself greater freedom of movement. Demonstrating his own brand of courtesy, Wolverine decided to help out by slicing apart the dress before Jean could stop him, turning a floor-length gown into a rather ragged micro miniskirt in seconds. Jean was utterly exasperated at Wolverine's gall, but Wolverine himself was absolutely delighted.

X-Men #99 (Jun 1976)– “Deathstar Rising”, X-Men #100 (Aug 1976) – "Greater Love Hath No X-Man..."
Calling in a favour from Xavier's friend, Dr. Peter Corbeau, the other X-Men launched themselves into space in a NASA space shuttle and succeeded in invading Lang's orbiting fortress. To their astonishment, the "new" X-Men found themselves opposed to what seemed to be the original members of the team. But it was Wolverine who realised the truth. Finding himself attacked by what appeared to be Marvel Girl, Wolverine told his opponent, "I am like an animal - I don't know from faces. I know from scents, voices...feelings. I also know Jean Grey. An' lady, whatever you are, you ain't Jean Grey." And with that Wolverine literally ripped his adversary apart. And he proved to be absolutely correct. The Marvel Girl he had been fighting was a kind of robotic Sentinel itself, as were the other supposed "original" X-Men that his colleagues had been fighting. The X-Men made short work of the other X-Men robots, and soon Lang was himself defeated. But the space station was in ruins, on the verge of exploding, and the X-Men had to make their escape in the shuttle, which was itself damaged. The shuttle would have to be guided by a pilot sitting in a chamber unshielded from deadly solar radiation. Jean Grey insisted on serving as their pilot, arguing that her telekinetic abbilities could protect her from the radiation longer than anyone else could withstand it. But her powers could not shield her for the entire length of the journey, and Wolverine new it. He tried desparately to argue out of it. But Jean refused to be swayed. Pushed to the emotional edge by the danger all around them and her awareness of her own probable death, she left her own unresolved feelings toward Wolverine explode in anger. "I have tried to like you, Wolverine - obnoxious little upstart that you are - but for the life of me I don't know why I made the effort!"

X-Men#101 (Oct 1976) – “Like a Phoenix , From the Ashes”
With deep reluctance, Wolverine acceded to Jean's demand, and the shuttle began it's desparate journey back toward Earth. The radiation did indeed to consume Jean's body but she was saved by and energy of inconceivably vast power known as the Phoenix. It made a bargain with the dying Jean and cast her into a form of suspended animation, in which her body would slowly be restored to full health, while the Phoenix itself assumed a physical duplicate of Jean's form. Hence, when the shuttle crashed into waters off New York City, a cocoon containing the sleeping Jean dropped quietly out of the shuttle, and the X-Men, swimming to safety and saw what they thought was Jean rise from the waters, proclaiming herself to be Phoenix before collapsing. Later, at the hospital, Wolverine arrives with flowers for Jean Grey, but disposes of them when he sees the rest of the X-Men in vigil. He does consider his feelings for Jean, thinking “…ain't never felt like this before, all hot-an'-bothered over a frail. Ain't never cared about anybody. I always like bein' a loner.” After several days, Jean Grey recovers. In a human form Phoenix was an exact duplicate of Jean Grey, and hence, not even Wolverine with his superhumanly sharp senses, could tell the two of them apart. So it was that unknown to Wolverine that women he may have loved more than any other in his life had been replaced by an alien entity in her image. And that being would soon imperil not only his life and the lives of the other X-Men but the fate of the Universe itself.

Iron Fist #15 (Sept 1977) – “Enter, the X-Men”
In this issue the X-Men is in New York for a party at Jean's place. Wolverine, standing outside of Jean's apartment building, tries to sort out his feelings for her. Before long, Wolverine notices someone sneaking into Jean's apartment. Still wearing the Fang costume, Wolverine tears through the door of the apartment, challenging the intruder. The intruder turns out to be Iron Fist, an obscure martial arts super-hero and a close friend of Jean's roommate. A fairly even battle ensues until Iron Fist tosses Wolverine out the window. Below, Nightcrawler catches Wolverine, and Colossus tosses him back in the room. Iron Fist continues to hold his own against the three X-Men, but the battle soon captures the interest of Storm and Banshee, who help to turn the tables on Iron Fist (after Storm is humorously hit in the face with a bowl of potato salad). As Wolverine threatens Iron Fist with his claws, Jean and Scott arrive, straightening out the whole mess. Later, at the party, Jean makes a point of needling Wolverine about the fiasco, reminding him to take care of all of the repairs. Wolverine's name is confirmed as Logan during a sequence where his feelings for Jean Grey are made especially apparent to the reader. Logan tears a photo of Scott and Jean, keeping the half with Jean, and informs Iron Fist that Jean Grey is his woman! Logan also notes, after being dropped by Iron Fist, that he has not been hit like that since he was a kid.

X-Men Legends (Jun 2000) – “Peace Offering”
Wolverine, as Logan, breaks into Jean Grey's apartment in Greenwich Village. As he soaks up her aroma with his hyper senses, Jean Grey's roommate, Misty Knight, returns home and quietly sticks a gun to his head. A tense moment passes until Logan explains that he was bringing Jean a peace offering, a small white dove, over the damage he caused during his fight with Iron Fist. Just then 20 ninjas from the Hand burst through the windows, attacking both Wolverine and Misty. After a savage battle featuring Wolverine's claws and Misty's .38, not to mention her bionic arm, the ninjas are defeated and sent running. As Wolverine and Misty patch each other up, Misty explains that she has been investigating the Japanese underworld, prompting a response from the Hand. Wolverine in turn admits that he has a thing for Jean but fears he is unworthy. Before long, Jean arrives, and Wolverine finally works up the nerve to tell her how he feels about her. Unfortunately, his peace offering, the dove, flutters between them, ruining the moment, and Jean is then hit in the shoulder by a poisoned shuriken as the Hand returns. Wolverine tears into them, dropping them by the dozen, and leaps from the window in pursuit. Twenty minutes later, the Hand taken care of, Wolverine watches as Jean Grey is taken to the hospital, their injuries minor. Dismayed at how the evening turned out, Wolverine silently departs.
