... schreibt er gerne, wie auch viele Titel seiner Bücher verraten. Seine vielleicht letzte Geschichte erzählt er in seinem soeben erschienen Werk Abschied(e).
Die Rede ist von Julian Barnes, der heute, am 19. Januar 2026, 80 Jahre alt wird.
Er bezeichnet sein Buch Abschied(e) als sein letztes Werk, weil er Krebs hat und das Buch thematisch einen Schlusspunkt unter sein Lebenswerk setzt.
Julian Barnes zählt zu den vielseitigsten zeitgenössischen englischen Schriftstellern. Sein Stil kann ironisch und von einem „respektlosen Humor“ geprägt sein, aber auch melancholisch und zutiefst empathisch. Er schreibt kenntnisreich über die Liebe und das Altern (Die einzige Geschichte, Der Zitronentisch); aber auch über Kunstgeschichte (Kunst sehen) oder die Sterblichkeit (Nichts, was man fürchten müsste).
Ich hoffe, dass Abschied(e) vielleicht doch noch nicht sein letztes Buch sein wird.

About this image: It has taken me years to realize that I am an empath. I think becoming ill with Lyme disease and dealing the neurological effects of the disease has moved me more deeply in that direction. I absorb the emotional states of those around me. It is not something I want to do, but something that just happens. So, this is why I found myself alone, in my truck, in the parking lot of a church last night as I waited for my youngest daughter to complete her first day of chorus practice. The practice is one and a half hours long and I couldn't stomach sitting in the waiting area the entire time with all the other parents. I am not antisocial and they are not mean, but I just crave peace, alone time, and calmness. So, after being in the church for about 40 minutes, I strolled out to my truck. While I was sitting in the front seat, I saw the bell tower and steeple rising beautifully into the dusky sky. I was totally inspired. As I sat and stared at the changing light on the steeple, I thought to myself, "I love how gently we are moving into the night." It was like watching a slow motion video of a changing sky, a changing light, a changing world as the sun sank deeper on the horizon. And when it was fully dark, I went back into the church again refreshed and ready to deal with the crowd of parents and kids again.
Il y a toujours de la lumière dans chaque chose, chaque personne, chaque élément.
On le voit pas forcément au premier coup d’œil, mais quand on est curieux, que l'on prend le temps de regarder et d’écouter, de développer son empathie et que l'on pose les bonnes questions : la lumière jaillit, illumine et l'ombre est magnifié par elle.
Une réflexion que j'essaye d'appliquer au maximum dans mon travail et cela m'accomplie. S'apporter mutuellement est la clé.
La photo, mon outil d'observation et de réflexion.

Perspective is a funny thing....not in the haha funny kind of way, but in the peculiar sort of way,
I have realized that I need to stay out of things that do not concern me. I try to do that in most instances. It is hard to remember that being a friend to someone does not give me the right to advise or comment. On the other hand, I feel so much and so deeply for my friends, that I most always want to help...and in doing so give my perspective on the situation, based on things I know. My perspective usually comes from experiences I have had, what I have observed in my friends or have been told directly to me by them.. I do not assume I know the full story, EVER. I only suggest things for the person to think about from another perspective.
That being said, I made a decision today. I am no longer going to do that. I am just going to mind my own business no matter how compassionate I am feeling or how much it hurts inside that I can’t attempt to help. My reason is a simple one.
Today I learned that no good deed goes unpunished.
I have honored a request of not discussing a situation with anyone but the parties involved. ( The person that made the request asked that I do that until they were ready to announce their situation on their own. ) I now stand accused of things from others (that have no skin in the game so to speak), of “not letting me know what was going on”. Forgive me, but I did not tell you because it was NOT MY PLACE to tell you something I was told in confidence and I always honor and respect those requests when I am told something in confidence, because that is who I am. I am not broadcast central.
I know I can’t control what others think...no matter how ridiculous and mean their thoughts and words to me are. Still, as an empath, I am deeply hurt by them. I am no longer explaining to anyone why I am. I am no longer justifying my actions when I know in my heart I did the right thing. I am done.
ok...I have vented. I am now going to choose something happy to change my day around even though I am still hurting inside. Thanks for listening...it helped to get this out of me!
Raven is the daughter of Trigon, an other-dimensional being of great power and great evil. Raven's mother, Arella, is human.
Aware of Trigon's desire to subjugate and destroy Earth, Raven tries to alert the Justice League. However, Zatanna, sensing the evil of Trigon through Raven, warns the League away from her.
In desperation, Raven uses her powers as an empath to manipulate young heroes into forming the New Teen Titans, patterned after the original group. The team consisted of Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy (then known as Changeling).
Though Raven had manipulated the others, her motivation was for Earth to be protected. The Teen Titans came to understand these things and the team, though formed in guile, became a family.
With the Teen Titans, Raven battled a number of villains but, all the while, she watched and waited for Trigon's coming. As that time drew closer and Trigon's power and presence was more acutely felt by Raven, there were times when she was overpowered by him and took a form resembling him.
The Teen Titans fought for her during these times and never turned her away or lost trust in her.
When the battle with Trigon finally came, the team had bonded so that, despite Trigon's power and despite setbacks, losses, and very hard lessons along the way, the Teen Titans were victorious. Though they could not defeat Trigon, such is his power, they were able to deny him Earth.
Raven was cleansed of Trigon's control and influence.
As the daughter of the inter-dimensional destroyer Trigon, Raven is very powerful and has displayed a vast amount of abilities. Because Raven's nature is intensely emotion-based, her abilities have fluctuated wildly in power over her career, depending on the circumstances.
She is firstly an empath, able to sense and alter the emotions of others. She can induce calm, suppress negativity, and even make someone fall in love with her.
By absorbing the pain of the wounded into herself, she can induce rapid healing for the affected person while she suffers in their place.
Raven can astral project a solid black energy form that takes the shape of a bird, called her soul-self. Her soul-self can travel long distances, become intangible, and is able to telepathically communicate. It can act as a shield as it can absorb a limited amount of energy and solid matter, regurgitating them before reintegrating with Raven.
Using her soul-self, she can convert her physical body and carry or teleport herself and others over a limited distance.
Her soul-self can mentally subdue at least one person by enveloping them inside of itself. Raven's soul-self could initially stay outside her body for exactly five minutes; failure to reintegrate in time would cause mental torment for her, though she eventually overcame this limitation.
She has displayed the ability to control, manipulate and or generate pure shadows and darkness.
Raven can manipulate energy, emotions and, on rare occasions, even time.
Her empathic control is her primary ability and manifests in different variations, from causing supremely destructive pain, inducing tension, fear-based illusions, and stealing emotions from others.
Before she realized that she could never stop Trigon on her own, Raven studied magic and has displayed sorcerous abilities, such as inducing unconsciousness with a touch, releasing balls of fire "within the folds of her cloak" or hurling electric blasts strong enough to take down the Titans.
She was seen to completely annihilate the demon army of Rankor numbering more than three thousand individuals and which contained powerful individual demons that had taken the Titans down in ambushes previously.
Raven also has limited precognition, which allows her to predict future events that are about to happen, although this happens involuntarily and infrequently.
Though not a physical fighter, Raven has studied with Robin/Nightwing and has proven, when necessary, that she is not without hand-to-hand skills.
⚡ Happy 🎯 Heroclix 💫 Friday! 👽

Rencontres d'Arles 2024
Guidée par des idéaux humanistes, la photographe documentaire, conteuse et portraitiste étatsunienne Mary Ellen Mark a posé son regard sur des personnes issues d’horizons divers, qui menaient des vies très différentes de la sienne. Outre les célébrités de toutes sortes, Mark était particulièrement attirée par les laissé·es-pour-compte et les personnes marginalisées par la société.
La façon de travailler de Mary Ellen Mark se caractérisait par sa chaleur, son empathie et sa persévérance. Elle consacrait beaucoup de temps et d’attention à ses protagonistes, retournant parfois les photographier encore et encore, sur de nombreuses années, nouant des relations intimes avec beaucoup d’entre eux. Ses reportages étaient souvent, à l’origine, des commandes de magazines et de revues reconnus comme Life, Vogue, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker ou Vanity Fair, avant que certains d’entre eux n’évoluent en projets personnels au fil du temps.
« J’essaye de faire des photographies qui soient universellement comprises […], qui dépassent les frontières culturelles. Je veux que mes photographies traitent des émotions et des sentiments essentiels que nous éprouvons tous·tes », a-t-elle déclaré à propos de son travail.
Ancré dans les thèmes et les passions caractéristiques de l’œuvre de la photographe, Mary Ellen Mark : Rencontres [Encounters] est constitué de cinq projets parmi les plus approfondis de l’artiste, qui donnèrent pour la plupart lieu à des livres. Ils ont pour sujet les femmes placées en institution à l’Oregon State Hospital, les enfants des rues de Seattle, les travailleur·ses du sexe de Mumbai, les nécessiteux et les mourants des organisations caritatives de Mère Teresa, et les familles de cirques itinérants en Inde. Outre les photos les plus emblématiques de l’artiste, l’exposition, première rétrospective mondiale de son travail, présente des archives rares telles que les planches-contacts de la photographe, ses notes personnelles et sa correspondance officielle, qui permettent de saisir la genèse de ces séries au long cours.

EMPREINTES MOUVANTES, DANSER GIACOMETTI - Le Fils d’Adrien danse
lefilsdadrien.ca/creation/empreintes-mouvantes-danser-gia...
EMPREINTES MOUVANTES, DANSER GIACOMETTI, une installation chorégraphique du Fils d’Adrien danse se déploiera au MNBAQ à plusieurs moments pendant l’exposition Giacometti du 8 février au 13 mai 2018.
L’objectif principal de ce projet est de créer une œuvre permettant de dissoudre les frontières entre le visiteur et l’artiste, plaçant le public au centre de l’œuvre.
En proposant cette forme artistique originale le MNBAQ et Le fils d’Adrien danse souhaitent proposer une approche croisée innovante en direction du public et ce, à travers la rencontre de l’art visuel et de la danse dans un contexte muséal.
Cette proposition en danse contemporaine mettra en perspective différents aspects de l’œuvre de Giacometti à partir de deux de ses œuvres majeures : La Place et L’homme qui marche.
Le fils d’Adrien danse, souhaite à la fois compléter, ouvrir, renouveler et apporter d’autres pistes de compréhension des œuvres de Giacometti par la médiation du mouvement.
En proposant au public de s’engager dans cette expérience de proximité avec la danse, ce projet, en plus de proposer une nouvelle façon de faire dialoguer art visuel et danse, invite à une parole et à une vision plus libre sur ces formes d’arts, à une participation plus intime des publics et à une découverte de l’art chorégraphique dans un contexte In situ.
HAROLD RHÉAUME ET GIACOMETTI
Les points de rencontre entre l’œuvre de Giacometti et la démarche artistique d’Harold Rhéaume sont nombreux.
Tout deux s’interrogent et s’intéressent à la condition humaine, à sa force jusqu’à son plus grand dénuement.
Chez Rhéaume comme chez Giacometti la forme trouve sa puissance de métamorphose dans l’expérience de la vulnérabilité et du vide.
Déterminés à se tenir debout malgré les adversités de la matière et le foisonnement de gestes qui les constituent, les “figures” de Giacometti, tout comme les interprètes de Rhéaume, solitaires ou en groupe, forment des relations les uns avec les autres faisant apparaître l’espace qu’ils sculptent.
Le tout dans une très grande simplicité, une attitude physique et une empathie qui parle et s’imprime chez celui qui la reçoit, jusqu’à bousculer et transformer son propre mouvement.
Une production originale du Fils d’Adrien danse co-diffusée par Le fils d’Adrien danse et le MNBAQ.

La pauvreté me dévisage
et je ne sais pas
si elle vient de moi
ou de cet enfant
assis sur le trottoir,
tandis que sa voix
et la mienne se perdent
dans la rue qui bourdonne
comme pour mieux nous faire saisir
ce silence d’empathie
qui bourgeonne de nos deux coeurs.

25 ans plus tard, je ressens toujours la même peine (ou la même empathie) pour lui... totalement subjectif, bien sûr.
Jean Elaine Grey was born the second daughter of John and Elaine Grey. She had an older sister, Sara Grey-Bailey. John Grey was a professor at Bard College in upstate New York. Depictions of Jean's childhood and her relations with her family have shown a stable, loving family life growing up.
Emergence of powers and joining the X-Men
Jean's mutant powers of telepathy and telekinesis first manifest when her best friend is hit by a car and killed. Jean mentally links with her friend and nearly dies as well. The event leaves her comatose, and she is brought back to consciousness when her parents seek the help of powerful mutant telepath, Charles Xavier. Xavier blocks her telepathy until she is old enough to be able to control it, leaving her with access only to her telekinetic powers.
Xavier later recruits her as a teenager to be part of his X-Men team as "Marvel Girl", the team's sole female member. After several missions with the X-Men, Xavier removes Jean's mental blocks and she is able to use and control her telepathic powers. She begins a relationship with teammate Cyclops, which persists as her main romantic relationship, though she also develops a mutual secret attraction to a later addition to the team, Wolverine.
Phoenix Force and first death
During an emergency mission in space, the X-Men find their shuttle damaged. Jean pilots the shuttle back to Earth, but is exposed to fatal levels of radiation. Dying, but determined to save Cyclops and her friends, Jean calls out for help and is answered by the cosmic entity, the Phoenix Force.
The Phoenix Force, one of the most powerful life forces in the universe, is moved by Jean's wish to save herself and her friends. It takes the form of a duplicate body to house Jean's psyche. The duplication is so exact that the Phoenix Force believes itself to be Jean Grey, and places Jean's dying body in a healing cocoon. This cocoon is later described as a Phoenix Egg.
The ship crashes in Jamaica Bay, with the other X-Men unharmed. The Phoenix Force, as Jean Grey, emerges in a new costume and adopts the new codename "Phoenix", with immense cosmic powers. Meanwhile, the cocoon containing the real Jean Grey sinks to the bottom of the bay, unnoticed.
Phoenix continues her life as Jean Grey with the other X-Men, joining them on missions and saving the universe. During "The Dark Phoenix Saga", Phoenix becomes overwhelmed and corrupted by her first taste of evil and transforms into a force of total destruction, called "Dark Phoenix", inadvertently killing the inhabitants of a planetary system, after consuming its star, and jeopardizing the entire universe. However, Jean's personality manages to take control and Phoenix commits suicide to ensure the universe's safety.
Revival
Upon its suicide by way of a disintegration ray, the Phoenix Force disperses into its original form and a fragment locates the still-healing Jean at the bottom of Jamaica Bay. In trying to bond with her, Jean senses its memories of death and destruction as Dark Phoenix and rejects it, causing it to bond with and animate a lifeless clone of Jean Grey created by the villain Mister Sinister.
Sinister created the clone to couple with Cyclops to create genetically superior mutants. Named "Madelyne Pryor", the unaware clone meets Cyclops in a situation engineered by Sinister and the two fall in love, marry, and have a child, Nathan Christopher Summers. Meanwhile, the cocoon is discovered and retrieved by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Jean emerges with no memory of the actions of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix.
The Avengers and Fantastic Four tell her of what happened and that she was believed dead until now. She is reunited with the original X-Men and convinces them to form the new superhero team X-Factor, reusing her "Marvel Girl" codename.
Madelyne is angered over Cyclops's decision to lead X-Factor and neglect his family. Though Jean encourages Cyclops to return to Madelyne, he finds their house abandoned and assumes that Madelyne has left him and taken their infant son.
Cyclops returns to X-Factor and he and Jean continue their relationship, but the Phoenix Force's impersonation, and his marrying Madelyne, damaged their mutual trust. The team's adventures continue throughout the series, culminating in the line-wide "Inferno" crossover. Madelyne reappears, now nearly insane and with powers awakened by a demonic pact, calling herself the Goblyn Queen.
Learning of her true identity and purpose as a clone created by Mister Sinister drove her completely insane and she plans to sacrifice Nathan Christopher to achieve greater power and unleash literal Hell on Earth. While attempting to stop her, Jean is reunited with the other X-Men, who are happy to learn that she is alive, particularly Wolverine, reminding Jean of her unaddressed feelings for him.
Jean and Madelyne confront each other, and Madelyne attempts to kill them both. Jean manages to survive only by absorbing the remnant of the Phoenix Force housed within Madelyne, giving her both Madelyne's memories and the Phoenix's memories from "The Dark Phoenix Saga".
Return to the X-Men and marriage to Cyclops
Unsure of herself since returning to life, Jean finds possessing the Phoenix Force and Madelyne's memories to be difficult. Cyclops proposes to her and she meets her alternate future daughter Rachel Summers (who goes by the codename "Phoenix" as well and is also able to tap into the Phoenix Force), but Jean rejects them both out of the feeling that they indicate that her life is predetermined.
Jean had learned during the Inferno event that her rejecting the Phoenix Force caused Madelyne to wake; Cyclops admits to Susan Storm Richards that Jean sometimes wishes that the Fantastic Four had not found her, and that he does not know how to communicate with her.
When X-Factor unites with the X-Men, Jean joins the Gold Team, led by Storm. During this time, she no longer uses a codename, instead being referred to by her civilian name. After some time, she makes up with Rachel, welcoming her into her life, and proposes to Cyclops and the two marry.
On their honeymoon, the couple is immediately psychically transported 2000 years into the future to raise Cyclops's son Nathan, who had been transported to the future as an infant in hopes of curing him of a deadly virus. Jean adopts the identity of "Redd" along with Cyclops ("Slym") and they raise Nathan Christopher for twelve years before they are sent back into their bodies on their wedding honeymoon.
Jean learns that a time-displaced Rachel had used her powers to transport them to the future to protect Nathan, and per Rachel's request, Jean adopts the codename "Phoenix" once again to establish it as a symbol of good after all the bad it had caused.
Meanwhile, her psychic and telekinetic abilities begin to grow and she begins using the iconic green and gold Phoenix costume again. Jean also met another alternate future child of hers and Scott's: the immensely powerful Nathan Grey, who accidentally revived the psionic ghost of Madelyne Pryor, leading to another confrontation between the two women.
Onslaught
In Bishop's original timeline before he ends up in the present he finds the X-Men's war room and finds a garbled distress signal from Jean about a traitor destroying the X-Men from within. Meanwhile, in the present, the X-Men begin to hear increasing news about a malevolent entity called Onslaught.
Jean first sees Onslaught as a psionic image with the rest of the X-Men after Onslaught coerces Gateway to kidnap Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, and Iceman. He later appears to her again in a similar way after rescuing her and Gambit from Bastion and offers her a chance to join him.
Onslaught makes his first full appearance to Jean on the astral plane and shows her how humanity is closing in on mutants as well as revealing that Xavier was in love with her while she was a student to convince her to join him. He then telepathically brands his name to her mind when she refused and asks him his name.
When Juggernaut comes to the mansion with information about Onslaughts true identity but has a mental block preventing him from divulging it, Jean enters his mind and helps him to remember who Onslaught really is and to her horror she discovers that Onslaught is really Professor X, having gone insane ever since wiping Magneto's mind.
Professor Xavier calls the X-Men together for a meeting and Jean tries unsuccessfully to rally the X-Men against him before he manifests Onslaught. While Onslaught easily overtakes the rest of the X-Men, Jean escapes to the war room and sends out the distress signal that Bishop found in the future.
After a massive battle against Jean and the rest of the X-Men, Onslaught escapes to carry out his plans. After Onslaught nearly kills the X-Men they team up with the Avengers to make a plan to stop him, knowing full well that it may come down to them killing Xavier if the world is to survive.
Jean accompanies Cyclops, Archangel, and Psylocke to Muir Island where they and Moira McTaggert discover the Xavier Protocols, secret plans that Xavier made to kill any of the individual X-Men should anyone become a threat against the world. Meanwhile,
Jean's earlier distress signal makes it to X-Factor, Excalibur, and X-Force. After returning to New York, Jean works closely with Reed Richards to help build up defenses against Onslaught as well as to help create the psionic armor that could block Xavier's telepathic powers as seen in the Xavier Protocols.
When Jean senses that Xavier has been freed from Onslaught and is going to confront him on his own, she and Cyclops bring together the rest of the X-Men to back him up. The rest of the Avengers and Fantastic Four join them in a final stand against Onslaught before he completely destroys the world.
In a final act of desperation Jean finds Hulk and locks away Bruce Banner's mind, leaving only the Hulk in control so he can fight Onslaught unencumbered. With the vast majority of earth's heroes missing and assumed dead after Onslaught is finally defeated, Jean and Cyclops open their home to Quicksilver and his daughter and try to help the X-Men to get their lives back together.
New X-Men
Following Cyclops's possession by the mutant villain Apocalypse and apparent death, Jean continues with the X-Men, but is distraught by the loss of her husband. She later learns that she is an "Omega-level" mutant with unlimited potential.
Jean begins to suspect that Cyclops may still be alive and with the help of Nathan Summers (now the aged superhero "Cable"), is able to locate and free Cyclops of his possession by Apocalypse. The couple return to the X-Men as part of the Xavier Institute's teaching staff to a new generation of mutants.
While Jean finds she is slowly able to tap into the powers of the Phoenix Force once again, her marriage to Scott begins to fail. Jean and Wolverine address their long-unspoken mutual attraction, deciding it is best not to act on their feelings; Cyclops grows further alienated from Jean due to her growing powers and institute responsibilities and seeks consolation from the telepathic Emma Frost to address his disillusionment and his experiences while possessed by Apocalypse.
These therapy sessions lead to a "psychic affair" between Scott and Emma. Jean's discovery of the psychic affair results in a confrontation between her and Emma, though ultimately Jean realizes that Emma truly loves Scott.
Second death
In a final confrontation with a traitor at the institute (the X-Men's teammate Xorn, posing as Magneto) Jean fully realizes and assumes complete control of the powers of the Phoenix Force, but is killed in a last-ditch lethal attack by Xorn.
Jean dies, telling Scott "to live". However, after her funeral, Scott rejects Emma and her offer to run the school together. This creates a dystopian future where all life and natural evolution is under assault by the infectious, villainous, sentient bacteria "Sublime".
Jean is resurrected in this future timeline and becomes the fully realized White Phoenix of the Crown, using the abilities of the Phoenix Force to defeat Sublime and eliminate the dystopic future by reaching back in time and telling Cyclops to move on.
This leads him to accept Emma's love and her offer to run the school together. Jean then reconciles with Cyclops and fully bonds with the Phoenix Force and ascends to a higher plane of existence called the "White Hot Room".
Endsong
A weakened Phoenix Force returns to reanimate Jean. Jean tries to convince the Phoenix Force to let her go so they can return to the White Hot Room together, but once again the Phoenix Force takes over. Jean lets Wolverine find her and tries to convince him to kill her again before the Phoenix does more damage.
The Shi'ar track the Phoenix Force and make an alliance with Storm to find her and defeat her. Jean takes Wolverine to the North Pole before the Shi'ar can kill her and convinces him to kill her. He stabs her numerous times but Phoenix keeps reanimating her, prompting Jean to dive deep into the ice and freeze herself.
The Phoenix Force leaves her body and once again assumes Jean's form to tempt Cyclops to attack her so she can absorb his optic blasts and become strong again. When the Phoenix Force merges with and overwhelms Emma Frost, Cyclops frees Jean from the ice. Once freed Jean ejects the Phoenix from Emma and accepts that she is one with the Phoenix Force.
After feeling the love from the X-Men, the Phoenix relents and returns with Jean back to the White Hot Room. Before she departs, Jean and Cyclops share a telepathic emotional farewell.
Postmortem manifestations
Though she had yet to fully return, the Phoenix Force and Jean continued to manifest themselves, particularly the Phoenix through the red-haired, green-eyed "mutant messiah" who slightly resembles Jean named Hope Summers, and Jean briefly appears in a vision to Emma Frost from the White Hot Room, warning the X-Men to "prepare".
She again appears in a vision to Cyclops when he is overwhelmed by the power of Dark Phoenix, helping him abandon the power so that it can pass on to its true host. After Nightcrawler is fatally wounded by the Crimson Pirates, Jean appears to him along with Amanda Sefton and the recently deceased Wolverine to help coax him back to life.
Jean's spirit begins to manifest in a more straightforward and aggressive manner to the time-displaced Jean from an alternate timeline, seemingly training her for the arrival of the Phoenix. However, after the younger Jean begins to ignore her, she possesses the time displaced Jean and uses her as a means to ambush Emma Frost.
Return
Strange psych occurrences around the world, which include a large bird flaring out from the sun and an explosion on the moon, raise red flags for the X-Men, who quickly launch an investigation of these events.
After a string of bizarre encounters with familiar enemies, many of them considered deceased, the X-Men come to one conclusion: the Phoenix Force is back on Earth. The X-Men also discover that psychics are going missing or falling ill, which prompts the team to investigate the grave of Jean Grey. As they find the coffin of their long-dead teammate empty, they race to locate the Phoenix before it can find a suitable host.
As it turns out, with the time-displaced teen Jean Grey out of the Phoenix Force's way, the cosmic entity has already resurrected the present adult Jean Grey. However, she doesn't recall her life as a mutant and an X-Man, and terrible visions from her previous life have left Jean unsure of the difference between reality and fiction.
As she lies inside of what appears to be a Phoenix Egg, the X-Men theorize that the strange psych occurrences are subconscious cries for help made by Jean Grey and that they must try to stop the Phoenix from merging with their old friend.
Old Man Logan is able to make Jean Grey remember her true life and she learns about the fate of her family and several of her friends, among them Cyclops. As Jean faces the Phoenix Force, she is finally able to convince the cosmic entity to stop bringing her back and let her go. Alive once again, Jean is reunited with her friends as the Phoenix Force journeys back to space.
Restored to life, Jean gathers some of the greatest minds on Earth together so that she can read their minds to plan her next move. Recognizing that there has been a sudden surge in anti-mutant sentiment, to the point where there are plans to abort pregnancies if the mutant gene is detected, Jean announces her plans to establish a more official mutant nation, making it clear that she will not establish a geographic location for said nation as past examples make it clear that doing so just makes mutants a target. To support her in this goal, she assembles a team including Nightcrawler, X-23 and Namor, but is unaware that her actions are being observed by Cassandra Nova.
House of X / Dawn of X
The adult Jean returns to using her original Marvel Girl codename and wears her second green-and-yellow Marvel Girl costume. She is sent as part of a strike team to outer space to stop a satellite near the sun from being used as a Sentinel factory.
Sentinels crush Jean's escape pod and she dies, but is resurrected into a cloned body. She is also a member of the Quiet Council, Krakoa's provisional government. Following the events of House of X, Jean briefly joins the Krakoan incarnation of X-Force, before resigning in protest of Beast's actions in Terra Verde.
Following through the tournament for the new host of the Phoenix Force, the Phoenix chose Maya Lopez, the hero known as Echo. As Maya, Jean Grey called out to her from Krakoa with a word of advice.
After Maya took on the Phoenix Force, Jean ordered Wolverine to leave her alone and return home, as he said he would kill anyone who took on the Phoenix Force. She then reached out to Maya as she flew off, and told the young woman not to go on this journey alone as the Phoenix prefers loners and isolated figures it can better influence to carry out its own agenda. Jean also told Maya if she wants to keep her soul as the new Phoenix, she has to make the Phoenix her own.
Powers and abilities
Jean Grey is an Omega-level mutant, and at her highest and strongest potential was fully merged with the Phoenix Force and with it was able to defeat even Galactus.
Empathy
Jean is a powerful empath, as she can feel and manipulate emotions of other people, as shown when her power first emerged as she felt her friend Annie Richardson slowly dying. Jean can also connect people's minds to the feelings of others and make them feel the pain they inflicted.
Telepathy
When her powers first manifested, Jean was unable to cope with her telepathic abilities, forcing Professor Charles Xavier to suppress her access to it altogether. Instead, he chose to train her in the use of her psychokinetic abilities while allowing her telepathy to grow at its natural rate before reintroducing it. When the Professor hid to prepare for the Z'Nox, he reopened Jean's telepathic abilities, which was initially explained by writers as Xavier 'sharing' some of his telepathy with her.
As an alpha-level telepath, Jean Grey can detect and read the thoughts of others, project her own thoughts into other's minds, form psychic links with other beings, control others' minds so as to manipulate their physical functions, mentally stun opponents with bolts of pure psionic force, cast near-flawless mental illusions, and project her mind and the minds of others onto the astral plane.
At close range, she can manipulate almost any number of minds; however, she can only take full possession of another's mind one at a time and can only do so if she is within that being's physical presence.
Jean is also one of the few telepaths skilled enough to communicate with animals (animals with high intelligence, such as dolphins, dogs, and ravens). As a side effect of her telepathy, she has an eidetic memory. Jean was able, through telepathic therapy with the comatose Jessica Jones, to grant Jessica immunity to the Purple Man's mind control abilities, despite his powers being chemical in nature rather than psychic.
When Jean absorbed Psylocke's specialized telepathic powers, her own telepathy was increased to the point that she could physically manifest her telepathy as a psionic firebird whose claws could inflict both physical and mental damage. She briefly developed a psychic shadow form like Psylocke's, with a gold Phoenix emblem over her eye instead of the Crimson Dawn mark possessed by Psylocke.
Jean briefly lost her telekinesis to Psylocke during this exchange, but her telekinetic abilities later came back in full and at a far stronger level than before.[volume & issue needed] It was later stated that Jean has been an Omega Level telepath.
Telekinesis
Jean possesses a high-level of telekinetic ability that enables her to psionically levitate and rapidly move about all manner of animate and inanimate matter. She can use her telekinetic abilities on herself or others to simulate the power of flight or levitation, stimulate molecules to increase friction, create protective force fields out of psychokinetic energy, or project her telekinetic energy as purely concussive force.
The outer limits of her telekinetic power have never been clearly established, though she was capable of lifting approximately fifty tons of rubble with some strain. Jean was later stated to have become an Omega Level Telekinetic.
Psychic Energy Synthesis
Jean's younger self who had been brought from the past into the present by an older Hank McCoy eventually found an entirely new usage of her powers separate from the Phoenix Force. The teenage Marvel Girl learned she has the ability to harness ambient psychic energy and channel it into powerful blasts of force, which are a combination of both her telepathy and telekinesis.
Its potency is such that she can match and overpower the likes of Gladiator, magistrate of the Shi'ar, with relative ease. When using this ability Jean's whole body glows with pink psychic energy, obscuring her human form.
Telekinetic weapons
Under the tutelage of Psylocke, teenage Marvel Girl has learned the ability to create psionic weapons that damage a target either physically, mentally or both in some point. She showed skill in constructing multiple types of psionic weapons that differ in size, length and power which she uses in combat.
Phoenix Force
The relationship between Jean Grey and the Phoenix Force (and the nature of the powers she has) is portrayed in a variety of ways throughout the character's history. In the initial plotline of the Phoenix being a manifestation of Jean's true potential, these powers are considered her own, becoming Earth 616's first cosmic superheroine.
However, since the retcon of the Phoenix as a separate entity from Jean Grey, depictions of these powers vary; these include Jean being one of many hosts to the Phoenix and "borrowing" its "Phoenix powers" during this time, being a unique host to the Phoenix, and being one with the Phoenix.
She is later described as the only one currently able to hold the title of "White Phoenix of the Crown" among the many past, present, and future hosts of the Phoenix. Jean — both young and adult versions — is also the only character ever to force the Phoenix against its own cosmic will to do anything while not presently a host to its powers.
In one instance Jean forcibly ripped the Phoenix out of Emma Frost and imposed its status upon herself. Young Jean was able to keep her psyche anchored in the Phoenix's mind postmortem despite the Phoenix's own efforts to forcibly remove her after it murdered her. Jean then subsequently forced the Phoenix to resurrect her after manipulating the Phoenix's mental landscape against it.
Over the years, Jean's abilities while bonded to the Phoenix Force have fluctuated, but the Women of Marvel: Celebrating Seven Decades Handbook has detailed what Jean is capable of as Phoenix:
While empowered by the Phoenix Force, Grey has total telekinetic control of matter at the molecular level, allowing her to manipulate atomic structures on a universal scale. She can generate any form of energy in seemingly unlimited amounts, as well as absorb energy from sources as great as a supernova or even convert her physical form to pure energy and back again.
She can also exist in virtually any environment without harm and create space/time warps to travel through hyperspace or traverse the timestream, and her telepathic abilities are also vastly enhanced. When using her power, the Phoenix Force will manifest itself around Grey in the form of a bird of cosmic flames, the size of the bird varying with the amount of energy she is using.
These flames can even manifest in seemingly impossible situations, such as the vacuum of space or underwater. This fire apparently does not require oxygen to burn, and burns so intensely that matter is consumed without by-products such as ash. The cosmic fire is a literal punctuation to the Phoenix's purpose to "burn away what doesn't work", as well as being described as "burning through lies and deception". The Phoenix Force can also resurrect the dead under some conditions, and absorb the life force from other sentient beings to bolster its own.
The Phoenix Force also seems to render its host unaging and, at least in some adaptations, enhances the physical strength of its avatar to superhuman levels; in certain incarnations, Jean, namely while acting as Dark Phoenix, seemed to possess some level of superhuman strength.
Resurrection
For one reason or another, Jean Grey (both young and old) has, on more than one occasion, been repeatedly resurrected by either the Phoenix or apparently her sheer force of will. In some depictions, these resurrections are immediately after she or whoever she is reviving is killed, while other depictions indicate that a resurrection must occur at a "correct" time, sometimes taking a century.
During the height of the Psych Wars, Young Jean was able to forcibly make the Phoenix Force restore her to life, despite the Phoenix's adamant resolve not to do so, completely recreating her body after it had been vaporized.
After her body was taken over and completely devoured by a Poison, a small part of Jean's mind survived and, despite itself, was able to infect the whole Poison Hive and destroy it from the inside out, subsequently using nothing but her mind to reconstruct her body. This leaves Jean believing that she may not even be human anymore. This is not the first time Jean was resurrected without the Phoenix; in one instance, she was even able to fully resurrect herself after being clinically dead completely independent of the Phoenix Force.
In their most recent meeting, Jean tells the Phoenix Force that she should have died on the shuttle, and asks it to not resurrect her again.
Miscellaneous abilities
Jean Grey is a trained pilot and proficient unarmed combatant. She also has some degree of teaching ability, experience as a fashion model, and training in psychology.

Urf! While we are most often pleased and, at times, even amazed at the quality of these very small HeroClix figurines, the Jean Grey is not good. The head and face are far too large and that, combined with her expression, makes Jean look like a gargoyle. The paint ops are sloppy as well. Okay, ending complaints now.

Yessss! Donald Trump, you're fired.
Now America can be great again.
La démocratie a enfin dégagé un individu menteur, tricheur et dépourvu de toute empathie qui, n'étant qu'une starlette de téléréalité, n'était pas à sa place et laisse une population désunie aux Etats Unis.
Il reste cependant beaucoup à faire, surtout en matière d'éducation. De nombreux citoyens, en grande majorité dans les vastes campagnes, sont ignorants et naïfs au point de gober les moindres "fake news". Cela pourrait faire sourire, mais, lorsqu'ils invoquent des motifs religieux pour s'armer, ils sont aussi dangereux que les intégristes fanatiques qui trahissent une autre religion ailleurs dans le monde.

My super empath son. Aspergers is a part of his beautiful self. He is often mystified by the world. He is also a mystery to me, how he thinks and sees the world around him. He teaches me so much and his heart is huge, full of love and compassion for everyone.
EDITED WITH PTM LUMINOSTY.
Thanks Jon for the name suggestion. The Wretched is group of villains brought together by V.I.L.E. to combat the Five Wonders. Each member of Wretched has fought a member of Five Wonders before, with them ending up losing the fight. They all have a score to settle, and see this as the perfect way to get even.
Alias: Reptile
Real Name: Tanner O'Brian
Gender: Male
Alignment: Villain
Powers: Hardened Skin, Superhuman Strength, Healing Factor, Increased Durability, Enhanced senses.
Backstory: The result of one of the many secret Genetech experiments being conducted in Cardinal City. All sense of humanity was lost in that moment, with only a reptile remaining. He would go on a rampage, killing dozens, injuring hundreds more. One of the first villains the Judgement branch of Archon fought, Reptile would eventually go down, and be imprisoned for many years, until he was broken out of prison by Mayhem. Thanks to a device given to him by Mayhem, he's able to keep his reptilian hyde side in check, provided he does jobs for them every now and then. Since all society ever sees of him is a monster, he earns his keep as a hired muscle, doing jobs for whoever, so long as they pay. Since he spends most of his time in Reptile form, he has a mostly carnivorous diet.
Alias: Joyride
Real Name: Willa
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Villain
Backstory: Willa is a thrill seeker at heart, just doing things for the fun of it. Every since she was a teenager, she's been really into taking cars out for a joyride, even if they aren't hers. She often frequents The Wheels (a central hub for car thieves). As one that loves to have fun, she also celebrates her achievements by going to a variety of parties held throughout the city. As she is one of the 4 other personalities of William Robertson (Virtue), she does get frustrated when she has to take a "backseat" of sorts when he's in control. Her powers allow her to transform vehicles to her will through using nanites. She can improve the car's speed, design, or really anything about it to suit her fancy. Though if she's not in contact, or nearby, these changes get reverted.
Alias: Rose-Red
Gender: Female
Alignment: Villain
Backstory: Polar opposite sisters, with Snow-White having the typical grace and elegance that goes with being a princess, and Rose-Red being more rough around the edges, more likely to get into fights. In fact, Rose-Red got into many fights, even when the odds weren't in her favor. But she always had an ace up her sleeve. Anytime she touches someone, she can tell how they are doing physically. So if there are any broken bones, she'll know. It helps to find her opponent's weak points, so that she always has the upper edge in a fight. Snow-White's ability also works with a touch, but it's to tell how someone's doing emotionally, essentially an empath. Snow uses this to help her friends, and others when they are going through hardships. When they are transported to Cardinal City, Snow is adored by those she meets, as she reminds them of a storybook character with the same name Though the only similarities between the Snow White in that story and Snow-White that's standing in front of them is that they have the same name, and they've both encountered dwarves. But Snow-White was cursed, while Snow White lived with all of the dwarves. With Snow's new found fame, Rose-Red fell to the wayside, becoming jealous of her sister. This led to her turning to the wrong people, and soon after that, she developed a drug problem. She continues fighting her way, trying to become the top fighter in all of Cardinal City.
Alias: Quotidian
Name: John
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Villain
Backstory: A sound technician that used to work for Cameron Cross, but he never was treated with respect that he rightfully deserved. It didn't help things that Cross was forgotten after his first and only single "No Chances", which meant John would be out of a job. As the years went on, John became determined to get his revenge on Cross. So when he first heard of Bonzer, he instantly knew that it was Cross. John would eventually steal a prototype suit which he later modifies to look like Bonzer's, just with some slight inverting of colours, using more green, instead of pink/magenta. This suit has an optic blast function, as well as hover jets. John keeps tinkering with the suit, adding more functions as the time goes on, and he gains more resources. His criminal activity helps pay for the materials, as well as his own well being.
Alias: Glitch
Real Name: N/A
Gender: Male
Alignment: Villain
Powers: Glitching. Basically powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Glitching . Only difference is that he doesn't have the logic defiance application of this power.
Backstory: Glitch would first discover Rave's music in his early teenage years, with him becoming more and more obsessed as time went on. This lead to him creating his own livestreaming account, Glitchinthemainframe, where he'd talk about everyday things. It gave him an outlet to vent his frustrations. But the viewership was limited, with Rave getting all the potential viewership with her heroics, and music videos. He wants to be famous, so that she will take notice. This twisted fascination grew, to the point where he would start livestreaming himself committing crimes, in the hopes that she would come stop him. He's been able to get away from low tiered vigilantes through his glitching abilities.

Another fun-filled afternoon of adventure in yet another fantastically beautiful abandoned place. It was absolutely the perfect place for a shoot with clowns. Make no mistake...I despise clowns. They are creepy and frightening and I do not find them in the least bit funny...but like I said...this place needed clowns to complete the look, with one room painted like a circus tent and one bathroom that was red and white stripes like a box of popcorn!
I get this feeling each time I am introduced to these places that they need a champion to rescue them...someone that can see their beauty and bring them home to a place like a farm for the beautiful but abandoned. Like people that rescue cats and dogs...these places need someone’s help and place to be cared for. It is the curse of an empath that feels too deeply sometimes for her own good
This amazing house was built in 1925...on 12+ acres of land. There is a lovely (in model home condition) 2 bedroom guest cottage on the property and a huge barn. There are tennis courts and a child's treehouse that is fantastic...all set high on a hill facing east for sunrise over the sloping property...and sunsets through the ridge of pines that rises up behind the home.
In spite of it’s odd paint colors inside, the rooms are stunning with built-ins and fireplaces and curved staircases. I always leave these places with a bit of a sad heart that such beauty is laying in waste and fading away, and I am always grateful that I can capture them for others to see.
I'm so excited for the newest episode of Final Space this weekend & that next week is spring break! I decided I'd make some of the various characters from the Brotherhood of Mutants! Please comment & fave to let me know what you think, I'd love to hear the feedback on this post. Anyways let's get to it...

Again comment & fave to let me know what you think. I might even make another one
Space Rangers from Left to Right:
- Nic (short for Nicodemus) is a highly evolved rat with cybernetic implants for eyes because he was born blind. From a world called Thorn V.
- Buzz Lightyear needs no introduction.
- E.R.I.C. is a utility robot programed to help maintain starships. This one takes care of Buzz's rocket, 42.
- Izzy Hawthorne (info redacted)
- Clover comes from a world called Watership. She is an empath and can sense emotions / feelings in others.
(I borrowed some characters from famous literature. Nic is slightly based off the rat leader Nicodemus from 'Mrs. Frisby and Rats of NIMH' book, while Clover is based (in name only) off of a character from the book 'Watership Down')
▬▬▬▬ THÉÂTRE / CRÉATION ▬▬▬▬
Sur/exposition est un texte d’Aurore Jacob, ayant fait l’objet de plusieurs travaux de mise en lecture (à Théâtre Ouvert en 2016, au TNS en 2018), mais pas encore de mise en scène.
La pièce, alternant entre discours choral et extraits d’entretiens, entre parole poétique et parole prosaïque, donne à lire le tableau d’un musée frappé par un attentat. Son récit n’est pas linéaire, et il nous fait passer d’une description tâtonnante dans les débris au regard de la narratrice, commanditaire de l’exposition. Cette exposition donne à entendre des témoignages de femmes du monde arabe, qui soulèvent les questions relatives à la place des femmes dans la sphère publique.
Le dispositif scénique hybride la salle de théâtre et celle de l’exposition, proposant aux spectateurs et spectatrices de suivre la pièce depuis leur fauteuil, ou bien au plateau, avec ce que chacune de ces positions possède d’avantages spécifiques pour reconstituer le récit de l’action.
"Notre enjeu commun est de porter une réflexion humaniste sur la place de la femme dans la société aujourd’hui, dans l’Egypte d’Aliaa autant qu’en Occident ; mais aussi, de formuler ce déchirement entre l’empathie et le privilège chez une génération d’artistes occidentaux préoccupée par les injustices sociales dans un contexte de mondialisation."

As a child, I struggled with asking for help when I needed it the most. There was an overriding feeling of not wanting to bother or disturb anyone with anything I had going on. The simple truth is that a closed mouth won’t get fed. That you and I are not an island. I reflect on the six weeks I spent in the Himalayas at an ashram learning how to strengthen my sadhana, or spiritual practice. How intensive the schedule was at first. Our days started at 6 a.m and ended at 9 p.m. What made it easier was seeing how committed all the other yogis were in accomplishing the same goal I had. To be disciplined enough to achieve something for ourselves, together. Unity is strength. I’ve personally experienced unexpected blessings because I dared to speak up about what I needed in the moment. When I’ve taken a single step towards my goals, something greater has delivered what I needed through the actions of another. This portrait of Chi was taken in 2024 at her communal village. I was experimenting with Leica’s M-10 Monochrome for the first time. I knew that strong black and white portraits would be produced that day. When I began editing this still stood out to me. Because nudity is already a charged art form its almost too easy to produce striking photographs. I do my best to capture nude subjects in relation to their environments while also conveying different ways of non-verbal communication. I see a timid mystery in this photograph as Chi’s back is turnt to the viewer and we are only getting a fraction of her face. I feel as if there’s something to be said by our subject that’s not being communicated. Maybe that’s the empath in me wanting to be available as a listener to another.
