Unchecked, the Phoenix Force inside the world's most powerful mutant threatens to destroy us all!
Hasbro’s second assortment of 2013 Marvel Legends action figures was initially revealed during the 2013 International Toy Fair in New York City and in its entirety, consists of Marvel’s Wrecking Crew Wrecker, Marvel Knights Punisher, Scarlet Spider, Jean Grey, Modern Hawkeye, and Black Panther. Each action figure within this assortment contains a build-a-figure piece to build your very own Rocket Raccoon. This series began shipping in August 2013.
An attendee of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, Jean Grey is one of the original members of the X-Men, and is initially capable of specified feats of telepathy and telekinesis which pale to her evolved Omega-level mutant abilities. Sacrificing herself by using her telekinetic powers to guide the wrecked X-Men shuttle from a destroyed space station to the Earth, Jean Grey is destroyed by radiation and subsequently reconstituted by merging with the vastly-powered cosmic entity, the Phoenix. Hasbro’s Jim Lee depiction of the Jean Grey action figure is based on her appearance in the 1990’s. She utilizes the standard female body sculpt and comes clad in her yellow and metallic blue outfit as well as new shoulder pads and forearm bands. Jean Grey comes packaged with the torso and tail of the Rocket Raccoon build-a-figure.
