Capes and Japes ·

2020/06/23

Capes and Japes ·

2020/05/26

Today we talk about Jean Grey, who has most notably gone by Marvel Girl, Phoenix, and Dark Phoenix, although there's some fun stuff with "How much of this was Jean Grey and how much of it was the Phoenix Force?" because one of the symptoms of Women In Comics Disease is a lack of agency!
