Excerpts from the diary of Genevieve Deadmore
May 11 It's been so long since I've written in here, but I've been so busy. Things here have been difficult to say the least, but I learned growing up in my weird and wonderful family to persevere. I was told leaving and going to college wouldn't be easy, so I'm packing my bags and heading to a new adventure. I'll write again soon..
Oct. 7 I decided to join the school band. I realized I needed to find something to do besides studying, so I tried out and I thought I sounded great, but the band director thought otherwise and he dismissed me. I hate rejection, I'll show them how talented I truly am. I'll keep you updated, write soon.
Dec. 1 I Spent a whole month looking through all the old books I brought with me, hoping to find the one grandmother had given me years ago. I was so happy i found it, I knew it would have exactly what i needed to show them all how big a mistake they made. More later.......
Feb. 14 I kissed my first college boy but thats not the real exciting news. Who knew necromancy would be so much fun..... After a few short hours in the cemetery I had a enough participants for my very own marching band.... I crafted a mask out of a surgical one to fit in, now all we needed are instruments. I know exactly where to find them. Write more soon...
Feb 21 I took all my new friends back to the band directors office and had him give us the key to the band room. He was more than willing to do so, it's so funny how people reacted to reanimated corpses. Hey I'm not crazy my mother had me tested. This is going to be so fun. I'll write more after we practice.
March 11 Days of hard work have finally paid off, we sound great. once the screams of nearby people finally died off ( no pun intended). I think those left standing paralyzed in fear really enjoyed the performance. More later..
March 23 Not sure when I'll be able to write here again, the town is a little upset with me and my band of the undead. I thought the torches and pitchforks was an old myth, I guess not. I can hear them coming for me, sounds like they are at the door. I'll head for the window, maybe they won't see me heading out bac.........

A zombie is yet another mythological creature. They are generally portrayed as reanimated corpses (“undead”) and in recent years appear mostly in horror movies and TV shows. One TV show, The Walking Dead, was very popular in the U.S. (I wouldn’t know, I never watched it) and spawned a number of spinoffs.
This concludes my 2024 February Alphabet Fun Month. Thank you so much for following along and your kind words (and alliterative phrases!). I myself will resemble a zombie on Tuesday; tonight we went to see Journey in concert and even though it was in downtown Madison we didn’t get home until after 11:30, leaving almost no margin for error in getting this shot.
Tunes* 'Sins' (read further below for more) www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5TkFNSMkNM (my video 'Rebellion Poem' in English + Danish)

The lyrics of the song 'Sins' (Tomorrow I will wash off my sins in the shower ...) recalled me, per analogy the meaning of Shrove Tuesday, as moment of purification, in preparation of the Christian Lent (Quaresima). And in fact, Carnival (from the Latin 'Carnem Levare'), celebrates a period of full enjoyment, to relief our miseries and lift up our body sufferences up to Mardi Gras but, from Wednesday of the Ashes, the invitation for the Lent is to deepen in a more spiritual, mystic modality. A 'memento mori' of meditation, of reasoning about the terrible sacrifice of Jesus, before reaching the Resurrection Day with Easter. (All this, said with my own simple words).
⏩ For all the Friends in occasion of the last day of Carnival, made for and especially dedicated to my dear Friend and great Photographer Ezio Famà aka Qi Bo. Visit his amazing stream !
Please, see my comment below to find his original photo, taken at the Carnival in Taormina from which I derived my work.
When I first saw his Carnival Shooting Collection, I literally fell in love with all his extra colourful street photos. Especially this one entitled
' A fantastic Woman ' ... lead me to ask him permission to make new derivative art from.
With much gratitude to Ezio, I'd also wish to add my big thanks for all he daily does in the hospital where he works as a Anesthetist Doctor in Sicily, in the reanimation/resuscitation rooms and surgery rooms, contributing to save many lives, every day.

carries him home in a beautiful boat
He watches the sea from a porthole in stowage
He can hear all she says as she sits by his bed
Then one day his lips answer her in her own language
The days quickly pass, he loves making her laugh
The first time he moves it's her hair that he touches
She asks "Are you cursed?" He says "I think that I'm cured"
Then he talks of the Nile and the girls in bull rushes
In New York he is laid in a glass-covered case
He pretends he is dead, people crowd round to see him
But each night she comes round, and the two wander down
The halls of the tomb that she calls a museum
Often he stops to rest, but then less and less
Then it's her that looks tired, staying up asking questions
He learns how to read from the papers that she
Is writing about him and he makes corrections
It's his face on her book and more and more come to look
Families from Iowa, upper West-siders
Then one day it's too much, he decides to get up
And as chaos ensues, he walks outside to find her
She's using a cane, and her face looks too pale
But she's happy to see him, as they walk he supports her
She asks "Are you cursed?" but his answer's obscured
In a sandstorm of flashbulbs and rowdy reporters
Such reanimation, the two tour the nation
He gets out of limos, he meets other women
He speaks of her fondly, their nights in the museum
But she's just one more rag now he's dragging behind him
She stops going out, she just lies there in bed
In hotels in whatever towns they are speaking
Then her face starts to set and her hands start to fold
And one day the dry fig of her heart stops its beating
Long ago on the ship, she asked "Why pyramids?"
He said "Think of them as an immense invitation"
She asks "Are you cursed?" He says "I think that I'm cured"
Then he kissed her and hoped that she'd forget that question
All that's known about his history is that he tried to help Perseus kill Medusa, until he was turned to stone. After Perseus left with Medusa's head, he just stood there for centuries. Not being able to cry out for help, or anything. Years later, and finally he was reanimated by someone who would then become his master. His armour is to remind himself of the horrors of the past. Now he serves his master with everything he has, even if it means fighting against the Young Olympians time and time again.. As he's made out of stone, he is denser, and stronger than the average human.

Black Hand's origin is one subject addressed in the "Green Lantern: Secret Origin" story arc.
William Hand is a disturbed young man working at his family's business, Hand Mortuary. He appears to hold a morbid fascination with the dead bodies within the mortuary and was twice seen secretly gazing at a corpse with an intent fascination.
His morbid behavior is portrayed as an ongoing problem in his family. When questioned why, as if acknowledging his diseased mind, William responds "I don't know".
At this point, William is unaware that he is being stalked by the alien necromancer Atrocitus. Atrocitus has foreseen that William Hand contains "the power of the black", an as yet unspecified power which Atrocitus believes will provide him with the means for revenge against the Guardians of the Universe.
Crafting a cosmic divining rod, Atrocitus follows the device to Hand intent on eviscerating the young man and claim the power within him. Hand is saved by the intervention of Hal Jordan and Sinestro, who was then still a Green Lantern. William then claims the cosmic divining rod as his own.
Green lantern
Black Hand is one of Green Lantern's oldest foes, originally portrayed as a villain who spouted clichés while committing his crimes.
William Hand was said to have been born of a wealthy family of high society. His "black" moniker was a testament to his having been the "black sheep" of the family.
Black Hand's major offensive threat to the Green Lantern was his use of a device that has come to be known as a Cosmic Divining Rod. This flashlight sized device could locate and collect Green Lantern energy, draining a Lantern's power ring. This energy could then be used by Black Hand to augment his strength, fly, create force-fields, or fired in destructive blasts.
Black Hand plagued Hal repeatedly during his early adventures. He even stood toe-to-toe with Kilowog on one occasion in which he matched the powerful Lantern with equal energy until Kilowog used his brawn, rather than his ring, to knock out Black Hand.
Justice League America
Black Hand has decided to stop being a Super Villain and go somewhat legit. He opens a seedy movie theater and tries to stay under the superhero's radar. His plan seems to be working until Guy Gardner and Ice come to his theater on a date.
Black Hand thinks they have come for him, and his therapist is on vacation, so he re dons his costume and introduces himself. He tries to shoot Guy with his Divining Rod but it just fizzles and Guy laughs at him and leaves with Ice.
Black Hand goes back into his office and gets his henchman Irwin to give him his gun, even though guns make Black Hand nervous.
He then chases Guy through the streets and once he catches up with the Green Lantern he shoots him but misses. This angers Guy and he beats Hand up. Hand tries to surrender but Guy is angry and knock him unconscious.
Guy Gardner Reborn
After Guy Gardner lost his Green Lantern Power Ring, he tries to fight the villains of New York City with his bare hands.
Black Hand was one of the first he tries to muscle out, because the Hand has opened a "Gentle Massage" business that is a front for illegal activities. Guy seemed to be winning until the Hand's henchmen realized that Guy had lost his ring.
They ganged up on the hero and toss him out on the street. The Hand lets Guy live because in his words, "Living well is the best revenge."
Rebirth
Once again, Black Hand used his divining rod in an attempt to steal Hal 's ring, which was being kept safe by Green Arrow.
Blasting his way into Arrow's home, Black Hand located and retrieved Hal's ring but failed to notice Green Arrow. Green Arrow got the best of him by shooting him in the hand, pinning him to the wall, causing Hand to drop the ring.
Although he was disarmed and posed no threat, the Spectre arrived and turned Black Hand's hand into coal stating "(now) he can live up to his name". The hand maintained its structure long enough for Black Hand to realize what had happened. Soon after, his hand crumbled into dust and Black Hand collapsed in excruciating pain.
Black Hand was not seen again until after Hal had been reborn as the Green Lantern. Hand was traveling cross country, clearly insane from his ordeal, when his flight was hijacked by Krolotean Gremlins, an alien race who abducts and genetically engineers other beings for sale as weapons on the intergalactic black market.
Something was awakened within Black Hand by their genetic modifications. His missing hand could now be reformed and used to siphon life force from living beings. Black Hand was returned to earth, where he quickly used his power to suck the life out of an entire floor of people at a nearby hospital. He could do this by either direct touch or through the use of a blast of life stealing energy he could now emit from his hand.
His murder spree was interrupted by Hal Jordan, who battled his new and improved enemy, ultimately burying the villain alive before taking him into custody.
Black Hand was last seen in police custody when an unexpected surge of power killed his guards and transported Black Hand to Ryut. There he appeared entranced by a mysterious voice which he heard calling out to him from deep space.
Blackest Night: The Origin of William Hand
This flashback story serves to foreshadow Black Hand’s importance to the “Blackest Night” story arc. The symbol he wears on his chest, that of the “Hand Mortuary”, has been seen reflected in the eye of “Scar”, the Guardian seemingly corrupted by her encounter with the Anti-Monitor during the Sinestro Corps War.
The Anti-Monitor was last seen having been entrapped within the Black Battery, the apparent source of power for the rumored undead army of Black Lanterns.
Blackest Night
Now hearing the voices of the dead calling to him, William takes one final set of actions as a living being. He returns to his home, and uses his rod to kill his entire family. Then he turns the rod on himself, blasting himself through his skull at point-blank range.
As his dead body lies on the floor of his home, amidst the corpses of his family, Scar, the corrupted Guardian of the Black, appears. Declaring William to be ready, she vomits out a black ring.
The ring flies to William's finger, and commands him to rise. As Hand is reanimated by the energy of the Black, he is declared to be the embodiment of their corps, the Black Incarnate, similar to Ion and Parallax and the Predator.
Fully risen, William vows to use this new power to finally extinguish the light. Hand is called to Wayne Manor, where he digs up the unmarked grave where the body believed to be that of Batman is located. At the behest of the voice of Nekron, Hand digs it up and carries it with him as the Black Lanterns begin to rise.
Hand is later encountered by the heroes in Coast City, where the Central Power Battery for the Black Lantern Corps has risen. It reaches 100% charge and Nekron is summoned to Earth. Nekron then resurrects the 7,000,000 civilians of Coast City that died in its destruction.
Hand creates a Black Lantern Batman using the skull he's carried around. By using someone that has emotional ties, he is able to take control of the heroes, turning them into Black Lanterns.
Deadman, who has traveled into the Black Rings and seen how they operate, possesses Guy Gardner to inform the heroes that Black Hand is Nekron 's tether in the physical world. If Hand can be restored to positive life, Nekron will be banished.
Nekron separates the Entity from Sinestro, but Hal is able to have it possess him. Hal makes a White Lantern Corps. The White Lantern Corps is able to resurrect Hand, banishing Nekron.
Hand vomits several White Rings, restoring twelve heroes and villains. In addition, the Anti-Monitor is brought back. The Anti-Monitor briefly fights with Nekron before being banished back to Qward. The heroes fight against Nekron again, and manage to banish him.
Hand is abducted by the Indigo Tribe,* and is seen bound by them. A translation guide for something he says translates to "Help me."
Hand is among the Indigo Tribe when they come to Earth to recruit Shane Thompson as the holder of Proselyte, the Indigo Entity. Hand explains that the Tribe gave him compassion.
Proselyte reveals that the Indigo Tribe help those that are unable to feel compassion by forcing it on them. When the New Guardians refuse the help of the Indigo Tribe, they attack. They are interrupted by Krona, however. Following this, it is unknown what has happened to Hand.
Black Hand is caught within The Book of The Dead. Hal and Sinestro are trapped there for a short time and when they escape Black Hand seizes his opportunity to escape. He breaks out of a grave plot and with a new Black Ring begins to kill people off relishing the new status quo with no Justice League.
He restores Martin Jordan and rips off his right hand and places the severed hand on his right nub so he can kill Jordan by his fathers own hand.
The Source Wall
Black Hand returns from the dead and begins to torment Hal Jordan. During the ensuing battle Black Hand joins the Source Wall and is destroyed.
Powers & Abilities
Previously, Black Hand was the wielder of the Cosmic Divining Rod, a device that detects and siphons a Green Lanterns' Energy Ring. After absorbing the energy, he could release it in the form of concussive blasts. This made Hand a fierce foe to the Green Lantern Corps.
During the events of the Blackest Night, Hand is the first to possess a Black Lantern Ring. Among other abilities, Hand has shown the ability to resurrect himself from death; can regenerate from any injury, and able to "see" the emotions of people. Hand is regarded as the Embodiment of Death, similar to Ion and Parallax being the Embodiments of Willpower and Fear , respectively.
Black Hand has demonstrated an obsession with death and corpses, and has total disregard for human life.

* The Indigo Tribe seen in BP 2023 Day 111:
The Emperor's Imperial Guard was long since dead as was he. However, his magic had carried him over the threshold as something ... else. Early in his Lichdom his form was decrepit and frail. He had needed time and safe haven to fortify. Thus he reanimated Hong and Tsung, two merciless and unyielding soldiers from his ranks. His automatons while in two bodies, were of one mind ... His own. Unceasingly they patrolled his lair and the surrounding territory. Over centuries the Emperor and his henchmen came to be unfathomably strange and powerful ... the stuff of legend.

This area is the hub of the Kerala spice trade. Famous for tea, dried fruits, cashew nuts and rubber, it stretches from the Vypin Jetty along Calvathy Road and Bazaar Road to the Dutch Palace.
Since the formation of Cochin harbour following the floods of 1341 merchant ships have sailed to Kochi and dropped anchor at the mouth of the Calvathy river. The spices they sought were carried by boat from the inland waterways of Kerala and delivered to the docks at jetties which lined the harbour waterfront. The harbour became a hectic trading area where transactions were conducted and customs duties were levied. Eventually the Portuguese, Dutch and British came to this region one by one, laying the foundations for colonial rule.
There are numerous warehouses along this stretch of road, some are disused but many still function as spice ‘godowns’ or storage areas for antiques, food and other produce. The Kochi Biennale Foundation has secured over 100,000 sq feet of space for installation, projection and mixed media works. This would open a dialogue between “fine” art and urban decay as many of these structures are being reanimated from a severe state of disrepair.
"The last thing you see is those lights... before they come at you and tear your chest open."
A husk of a toa reanimated and mutated by so many souls that it may as well have none. Blind and driven only by hunger for life. Senses souls. Appears to live in the Keep of the Leech, from where it ventures out, but avoids the Sanctum of the Divided due to Nor's presence.
The cataclysm had shown to mess with life. Many were unable to die, while others were unable to live. In the chaos the most desperate grasping for life became monsters.

There was no particular motivation for this moc. I had recently traded with a pal for some teal parts, so I challenged myself to make a teal and purple moc with the limited piece amount I had in those colors. For extra flare I threw some glow-in-the-dark in. Also to act as fingers, since black nor silver were an option.
I managed to discover some neat techniques while building this, but I was also left a bit disappointed with the crotch. I didn't really have the right parts to make it adequate.

Introducing my Self-MOC! This is actually the 12th version (12.4 to be exact) and a character reboot, though, and I have revamped the whole thing again since this version, too. I will post a picture showing some of the previous versions (I don't have pictures of pre-7th versions, except for the very first), just so you can get an idea of the evolution of the character.
---DESCRIPTION---
Nicknamed "Rahksha" due to her Makuta heritage, Nyctoria is somewhat of a Toa: the most accurate way to put it is, she's a protector...of sorts. She has a strong link with the Netherverse, enabling her to draw on its dark power to perform necromancy, as well as harvest souls and summon them as Netherwalkers (inhabitants of the Netherverse) with her scythe. She can also reanimate corpses to serve her by using seals on their Kanohi.
However, the power of the Netherverse always takes it toll, and the user's soul - and therefore body - will decay the more they use it. The only way to maintain oneself is to harvest the souls of others. Hence, Nyctoria hunts down villains to defeat and consume.
While Nyctoria does defend others from Makuta and other threats, she is not altrustic in her motives -- she will just as easily consume innocents if there is no other source available, and rarely helps others unless she perceives them or the target as useful in her quest for revenge against her "father", Teridax -- and by extension, her de facto creator, Mutran.
As an individual, Nyctoria is largely anti-social, apathetic and an on-off misanthrope - hardly surprising considering her origins. That being said, she is not without a sense of justice and empathy, although her concept of morality is nonexistent at worst and dubious at best.

A crunch from the bushes in front of me drew my eyes from the dying man lying there. I looked up, and a man wearing a blue jacket and face mask walked out, brandishing a pistol and what appeared to be a homemade silencer. I had heard of these people, hunting hikers and killing them off one by one, avoiding police by living in the woods. I was sure he had fatally wounded this man. He raised the pistol, and I flinched backwards. Instead, he held it out at arms length, and fired twice at the man on the ground, killing him.
I yelled out, "What the fuck was that for?"
He looked up at me with a bored look on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"Well, he was gonna turn anyone, am I right? Decided to put him out of his misery."
"Turn to what?" I stuttered, still bewildered by what I had just witnessed.
"You know, the dead."
"What?" I blurted out, already questioning his sanity. He still seemed untouched by the incident.
"You know, the reanimated?"
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.

Today's story and sketch" by me, my wife Pat and I have traveled to the Planet Wazzunga to visit Stanley Flop, Stan is one of Rescue Randy's friend's, they met accidentally, when Randy accidentally crash landed an experimental intergalactic glider on Wazzunga. Randy the most interesting living tissue crash test dummy in the Cosmos, showed his incredible piloting skills when the experimental glider he was testing lost power in worm hole Seventeen in route to the Planet Opisto. He was struck by a Star Battle Cruiser sending the B&R Experimental glider out thru the side of the worm hole, hurling it at twice the speed of light directly toward the planet Wazzunga, to be precise hurling at Stanley Flop's casual footwear factory, Stanley is the galaxies number one manufacturer of the footwear sandals known as Flip Flop's. Randy realised very quickly as he saw the factory getting larger and larger as he looked out the front windscreen, he only had a few seconds to alter the gliders path that would completely turn the factory into a mile wide crater. At an altitude of ten thousand feet, hurling like a fireball through Wazzungas atmosphere at two thousand miles per hour, blew both the entrance door and moon pie storage compartment hatch, deflecting the gliders path thirty degrees to the west into cabbage fields. When the glider hit the water tower it actually helped to slow the crash into the rows of the three foot tall Wazzunga cabbages. The glider finally came to a stop after taking out two miles of the stinky cabbages used for popular Kimchi moon pies. Stanley was the first beaked beast at the crash scene and pulled Randy from the crumpled glider, and recognized Randy, having read many of the books written about his adventures. Stanley stabilized Randy in a large cabbage crate, and knew from reading about Randy, the only EMT's to call were the reanimation Doctors on Mars, who arrived within two hours and had Randy back together and ready to be transported to Earth within a week. Stanley who you see lower right, greeting a Greb beak beast, who hitched a ride with a couple of Voodoo's to Wazzunga to buy a pair of Stanley's Flip Flops, above you see Pat and I who are here to invite Stanley to Rescue Randy's birthday party, which is a story for another time, also to pick up a few pairs of Flip Flops, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog.
A belated bday pressie cake for my sister, we both LOVED this little guy as kids and as he has been reanimated and brought back in to vogue in Toy Story 3, Kelly thought it would make a great cake.
I really enjoyed doing this one, although wanted to get liquorice for the cord on the receiver - could not find them anywhere!!!! prob could have ordered them online but as per I left it all to the last minute lol
The handset was a bit wobbly as the fondant was really soft and the receiver was rice krispie treats, I would have liked to get it a bit smoother, but I am stilll so so chuffed with it :)
Seltaist first appeared in the form of a divine statue. She was forged by the remains of a great one and served by sharp scholars known as Eladonian’s. The remains of the great one were so peculiar it was difficult for the tribe to identify which entity they may have come from however Themia believes that Seltiast is closely related to Gheos, a former goddess of inspiration as they both represent similar ideals. When the Eladonian’s fell to devastation Commundus removed the statue, burning the holy object down to its core, and sentencing his former comrades to gruesome deaths. Years later a strange creature stumbled upon a chamber filled with dozens of corpses and the remains of Seltiast, by performing a ghastly ritual it was able reanimate her spirit however this act likely led to the creatures own demise.
Seltiast is a compassionate spirt who now looks after the suffering, and unwanted, spreading prosperity and telepathically communicating to the congregations who gather in worship of her. The face and claws of the entity resemble that of her former body, and connect to the spirit as if fused on. Just beyond her back are tentacles capable of absorbing, or deflecting attacks. Each of these tentacles carries a powerful blessing gifting her with the ability to perform miracles all while leaving behind a blue aura. Many of her believers have taken a liking to the Eladonian’s, striving to acquire heaps of information on this special race, and mimicking their best qualities. Seltaist is well aware of the Eladonian’s eventual fate, she is impelled by their memories, and continues to uphold a similar structure to the one they established. Though the goddess is unaware of any potential survivors, perhaps the remaining may continue the path they once begun or pledge themselves to the will of another entity. Alternatively their existence will serve a greater purpose

I've made several visits to this old junkyard but had not once spent any time in this portion of it. Now, this is area has the highest concentration of cars. I saw some familiar vehicles up there as many of them have been dragged up there from other sections where they remain thanks to the "S" for "save" that was painted on each windshield marking a pardon from the crusher. Other cars...not so lucky.

Parrea was the Makuta of Lesovikk's homeland and a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta.
Parrea was responsible for the creation of several Rahi breeds to populate the Matoran Universe during her early life, most notable of which was the Fusa, a breed of mammal Rahi suited to desert landscapes. Displaying some talent in the area, Parrea never fully committed to the role of Rahi Creator, however, possessing more interest in other disciplines.
After the Matoran Civil War, Parrea was assigned to supervise Lesovikk's homeland by Makuta Miserix, who felt she was the least likely Makuta to interfere in the delicate affairs of the fledgling Matoran colony that was struggling to establish itself. Complying with her role as protector of the island, Parrea at first nurtured the Matoran under her charge and helped them establish civilization before a group of Toa set up an outpost on the island.
With a large desert biome occupying the western region of the island, Parrea was also known to have forcibly established large numbers of Fusa, to the extent where the central desert region is nicknamed the Fusa Plains.
Parrea wore a Kanohi Tryna, Great Mask of Reanimation, a Kanohi that enabled her to animate the corpses of dead beings, commanding them to perform basic tasks until she lost concentration.
Sporting a wide arsenal of Protosteel weaponry over the centuries, Parrea armed herself principally with a Rotating Razor Shield, which served as both a defensive and offensive tool capable of channeling her Shadow powers. Prior to the Invasion of Karda Nui, Parrea notably equipped herself with a Tridax Pod.
