FIrst Look: Ultimate Comics X #2

So, Karen is Jean? I haven't kept up on Ultimate X-Men.

We need to have a talk about that outfit

Who is she?

" @cmaprice: I completely agree. If Jimmy is Wovlie's son, maybe she is a daughter of Scott and Jean? Weren't they together in this universe? "

" @CKO: Yeah, I got the implications, but seeing as I haven't kept up on Ultimate X-Men, I didn't know if there was an Ultimate Madeline Pryor running around or anything wacky like that. It just seemed her being Jean was a bit too straightforward. "

" Who is she? "

Sarcasm win.

She's the daughter of Scott and Jean, but she's the same age as Kitty Pryde who was only 3 years younger than Scott and Jean?
I think you're right.
 

I thought it would be ultimate psylocke , looks like I'm wrong lol

It looks to me like she Scotts kid, but maybe it was with another woman we don't know about. I mean, I doubt Jean was Scotts first

" I thought it would be ultimate psylocke , looks like I'm wrong lol "

" It's obviously Jean Grey.  She has telekinetic powers, she's dyeing her hair, she has Cyclop's visor, she's crying while holding it...why in the world are you asking who is this or speculating she's the daughter to Scott and/or Jean?  They would have had to been children upon conceiving her.  Come on. "

I was right, it's Jean!
The magazine is a nice touch.

I have a problem with it being Jean....the very first text bubble on the very first page says "I met Karen about 3 years ago.  She had just moved to Baltimore."

" I was right, it's Jean! The magazine is a nice touch. "

" Scott and Jean were only about twenty when Ultimatum took place. There is no way that they could have a teenage daughter together, as Pix pointed out, who is the same age as Kitty, being only a few years older than her.  
 
I think it's obvious that "Karen" is actually Jean.

Jean survived Ultimatum and has not been seen since. 

Her telepathic powers would have enabled her to alter the memories of those around her, making them think she moved to Baltimore years prior, as this security-guard narrator believes. He also compares her to an ex-film star, or whatever.... blatant reference to her being in the X-Men previously.

She has green eyes (like Jean), and dyes her hair from its natural colour to black. 

She's telekinetic.

This would explain the reason why "Karen" reacts the way she does to touching Cyclops' visor - Jean and Cyke shared a special relationship, etc, etc. She is evidently sad and there seems to be some sort of psychic backlash effect - again, plausible considering Jean's telepathic powers. 

On that note, why would a random girl have Cylops' visor? Ha. Why would a random girl have the magazine cover from Ultimate X-Men #13?

"

Yeah she is Jean but still looks interesting, even with the whole "gothy" look. I really liked Ultimate X-Men initially and then like the rest of the Ultimate Universe, sort of got out of control.

Whomever is narrating says they met Sarah 3 years ago... Jean was an X-Man at that time, not masquerading as a random. And i'd like to give Loeb more creativity than jean pulling a Mystique. "

" @pixelized: good job on being the only person here who read the preview "

Why does this girl have her towel wrapped around her waist instead of her chest?

Wow, I love how there's so much debate about who this girl is. If you use logic, it's obviously Jean Grey. Yes, she implanted fake memories in their minds. She's a Telepath, one of the worlds best. She's also a Telekinetic. Come on now.

*Karen. 
Yes, he thinks he met this woman three years ago - this might not be true. A high-level telepath like Jean could have implanted fake memories etc.
She bares a ridiculously close resemblance to Jean and a deep connection the the old UXM team.

ooops.  I find it hard to believe that Jean/Karen would implant fake memories but leave the rest of her, as the Narrator says, "a mystery." Why not just create an entire fake childhood/life with the town? She has green eyes, that's not a close resemblance. She could be an entirely new character who will be revealed to having had a history with the X-ers. we shall see. "

I'm sure it would be easier for her to recreate, with success, a smaller time-span of memories than to recreate her whole life. Three years would probably be the number of years she spent with the X-Men - why would she want to pretend her prior life did not exist too?   She has green eyes, she's dyed her hair, she has the same type of physique that Ultimate Jean had.... She also has TK, probable TP and a (personal?) connection to Cyclops (she is in possession of his visor and after touching it is struck by the vision of those who died in Ultimatum - Jean survived Ultimatum. She knew these deceased characters.) and the other X-Men.   Yea, I pretty much summed it up before.... "

"I see Dead people" LOL XD JK
So Karen is Jean...didn't see that coming.So geting this

I'd like to pick this up. That artwork alone is worth more than a movie ticket.
 
When comics go to digital readers, they'll need to display what art like that can show off.

Okay so the majority think that she is Jean. It's possible but I think it's a little too obvious. I think it could be Jean or another character not seen since Ultimatum. It could be Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch. I know shes dead but at the end of Ultimatum it is implied that she is the one Quicksilver is talking to after Scott is murdered. Her magical powers could easily be passed off as telekinis. She could even be Rogue borrowing Jeans powers. Or just some new character obsessed with Cyclops.

The first Ultimate Comics X was interesting.Kara indeed may be Jean or at least an incarnation of her.
 Looking forward to read this.

Having read it and know what the deal is, I don't want to ruin it, but I will say that some of you are on, and alot of you are off. But a quick aside to those who ask how Karen Grant could be Scott and Jean's daughter, look to Cable. He was their son (well, it was a jean gray clone, but thats besides the point), sent to the future where he could be cured of a sickness he had, and then grew up and was sent back in time to before he was born.
