[edit] Fictional character biography

John Grey is the father of founding X-Men member, Jean Grey. John was employed as a history professor at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. During the Inferno storyline, John was temporarily transformed into a demon by the Goblyn Queen, a clone of their daughter, Jean.

After the death of her daughter, Sara Grey-Bailey, and possibly her husband Paul, Dr. Grey and his wife Elaine took care of their grandchildren, Gailyn and Joey. When Operation: Zero Tolerance occurred, John was aided by Nate Grey, who ironically is an alternate version of his grandson, Nathan Summers, in saving his grandchildren, Joey & Gailyn.

[edit] End of Grey

He was the first of the Greys killed by the Shi'ar Death Commandos^[1]. He has been noted as being the carrier of the X-Gene that has granted Jean and the Bailey children their mutant powers.

[edit] Alternate versions

[edit] Ultimate John Grey

In the Ultimate Marvel universe, Professor Grey, while working in his greenhouse, is confronted by Wasp about his daughter's whereabouts^[2]. He tells her that he knew about Magneto being alive, and that the X-Men deliberately told him nothing about their safehouses so that no telepath could read the information from his mind. He reveals to Wasp that due to growing up with a mutant, he recognizes the feelings of being telepathically scanned. As such, he knows Wasp brought along S.H.I.E.L.D. telepaths. Like his mainstream counterpart, he is accepting of his daughter being a mutant.
