Your Unpopular/Controversial Opinions on the X-Universe

All those extra siblings must have sprung up in that End of Greys story. That's silly though. Only Sara was around previously.

Yes. The other three Grey siblings were first seen, mentioned, and killed in End of Grey's.

[Havok83]

You’re right. I guess reading the article confused me. Anyway, her brother was introduced in the End of Greys, where him being a pastor, and the Grey’s religious beliefs were stated.

The guy looks old and I dont believe that to be Jean's brother. It may have been a great-uncle instead which would fit in better and doesnt necessarily contradict established continuity

Yeah, I'm thinking that too.

It’s just his skull and bones.

If I posted them all, I'd be perma-banned

That's exactly how I read it. John's brothers and sister, not Jean's. In any case, I guess I'll start coding things [FANON] so people don't get confused. Given nearly everything I post is creative from no-prize to wholesale rewrites, I should change my Username to Fanon instead.

[Harpsikord]

Eh - if Liam is a great uncle, sure, that makes a certain amount of sense since there was another great uncle established (Brian)... but Roger and Julia were specified as Jean's siblings.

but theres a picture of his brother Roger



I believe these "uncles" are actually great-uncles as they appear to be old and old enough to be Jean's parents, not her siblings. This dude looks to be about the same age as Jean's father, John Grey

where? I believe the only indication of relation is Rachel's narration which has her say aunt or uncle. Alot of people dont make the distinction between uncle and great-uncle when talking about the relative so it fits for me

When Rachel refers to Brian she specifies that he is John's brother, but with the other three, it's just Uncle/Aunt. They're probably just THAT MUCH older than Jean and Sarah, and were out of the house by the time Jean was 10 and had her origin story shown. John and Elaine were both middle-aged at the time, it's possible.

he looks the same age as John, not a good 20-30 years younger. Jean should have roughly been late 20s and this dude looks like he's late 50s at best. I dont buy Eliane and John being parents to someone that old

On Marvel’s wikia for Jean.

Wiki's can be edited by anyone. I can change it to say Emma's Jean's twin sister

Whoever’s adminning the Marvel wikia probable cares less than a tenth about Jean Grey’s non mutant family as I do, and all I’m saying is it’s debatable. The writer wanted to convey the size and closeness of the Grey family before killing them all. The admin is probably relying on fans to do the detail work.

It all seems like a rush job to get a bigger family to kill off

[CRaymond]

Exactly. It’s supposed to be shocking and it’s really just torture porn.
