In Uncanny X-Men #529 Emma Frost talks about an old friend named Jaye that she used to know. Anyone know who that is?

I don't think it's a character that existed previously. 
In the Emma Frost series she was friends with Astrid Bloom and another girl I don't remember the name though... could be that girl, but I doubt it.

No I already looked into that. It's not. It's weird that they mention a previously unknown mutant considering how few there are.

Emma mention it to Fantomex about guilt or something similar to that, she said she saw it in the newspaper after the Bastion incedent =]

obv Jaye is a salute to Jean1 of  the 2 popular currently dead X-men. Jaye and Jean? not much of a different when say it out loud.

The reference is to real live person (Jayè Donovynne) who worked under several pen names as a writer and artist. He suffered an aneurism causing him to exit the field. It was a nod to him.

Busted, the release date doesn't line up with Jaye's "Episode" which I can only assume you are him. I am screenshotting this and it's going in the evidence of your bullshit file.

jaye is a girl that it a man

@hopesummersforthefuture: actually quoting the writer from his appearance at Emerald City Con. It was a "nod" to him meaning not factually based of him, just the name. If you have an issue with gender roles being switched, avoid the Thor comics ;).

@anvilquick: I know that it wasn't him that personally wrote it. I am saying his "brain troubles" hadn't happened when that issue released so it wouldn't make sense to give a "nod" to him.

@anvilquick: I'll find a way to contact him and just ask him about it. Should be educational.
