Jane Sylvia Grey Reynolds is a member of the X-Men and the twin sister of Jean Grey as well as the wife of Scott Reynolds. She makes her appearance in X-Men: Mutant X & ForestFire.
History[]
Jane Grey was born the same year and time as Jean Grey; however she was pronounced dead after she was born. She was to be laid to rest; however a nurse named Selena Langstrom discovered that she didn't die and decided to take her as her own.
The Meeting of Fate[]
Jane was raised by Selena and was said to have been taught how to manipulate and use her powers; however failed. Selena eventually enrolled Jane in the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters; which brought her to Westchester, New York. Upon her arrival; she met Charles Xavier and Mutant X; who were immediately shocked to see her in person because of her resemblence to Jean Grey.
Despite everything; she was taught in a separate class to Jean; however she eventually met Jean Grey. Jean was surprisingly shocked to see Jane's appearance; so shocked however both of them fainted. After being revived from fainting; Jean and Jane looked at each other and this time didn't faint. Despite possessing some differences; their genetic make up was uncanny. This called for a further investigation conducted by Mutant X in order to get a better idea on who Jane was and where she came from. According to records on Jane's mother; which led to an important and shocking discovery.
The records on Selena suggest that she never gave birth to any children and there have been absolutely no records of Jane ever being adopted; in fact, no record of Jane was recorded until 2 years prior. The only evidence he found was that the Greys did in fact have another daughter before Jean; however was said to have died in childbirth. With the evidence gathered from records; Mutant X approached Jean's parents with a request of a blood sample from both of them.
They reluctantly honored his request and gave 2 blood samples to him and he promised to get back to them as soon as possible. The samples were eventually analyzed the samples from Jean and Jane; as well as the Greys. The DNA match turned out positive and a genetic match. Upon looking at the genetic match, the records and just their appearance; Mutant X came forth with the evidence to Charles and eventually called both the Greys and Langstrom; as well as concerning the Jean and Jane as well. It was later shown that DNA results from Selena and Jane didn't match; however when compared with the Grey's blood sample; it was proven to be a direct match.
It was right after the blood comparison when Selena explained that she was going to bring the baby back to her family; however despite her attempts at contacting them; she couldn't find them; therefore leaving the young baby in her capable hands. Although the truth was shocking; the Greys didn't press charges and thanked Selena for being honest with them; as well as being an excellent mother figure to Jane after all these years.

Powers[]
- Telepathy: Being the identical twin of Jean Grey, Jane possesses the powers to enter the minds of others so long as they are not advanced in telepathic powers.
- Mind Control A major power associated with her telepathy is the fact that Jane is able to control the minds of those who have had their mind entered by her.
- Mind Reading: Another ability that is endowed by her telepathy is the ability to read the minds of those whose mind she enters. This however is useless against those with highly advanced mental blocks.
- Telepathic Cloak: Like her sister, Jane is capable of psychically masking her presence from others. This only works however if nobody can see through the ability or sense her presence.
- Cloak Mind:
- Psychic Shield: Jane's telepathy enables her to erect a psychic shield to protect her mind and the mind of others.

- Mind Transferal: She can transfer both her mind and powers into other host bodies if her own physical body could be somehow killed.

- Psychic Blast: She can project psychic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness and turning someone brain-dead.
- Astral Projection: She can project her astral form from her body onto Astral Plane or the physical plane. In the physical plane she can travel in astral form over vast distances.

- Telekinetic Sensitivity: That lets her feel the texture of objects she has a telekinetic hold on, feel when other objects come into contact with them, and probe them at a molecular level to identify if they contain alien materials or feel when two things which she has a telekinetic “hold” upon are similarly composed.
- Temporal Manipulation: While acting as the Phoenix Force, Jane can manipulate the past across large temporal distances and with a profound knowledge of the causal effect her actions will have. It may be the case that time as a concept doesn't apply to the White Hot Room.
