Before Phoenix came into the picture Jean had very little association with Wolverine, and what there was certainly wasn’t super positive. (Remember him tearing off the bottom of her dress?)She knew him from a few hours on Krakoa, plus the flight back*, and a day or so, maybe, before the original team packed up and left the mansion. Didn’t see him again before that portentous Xmas Eve. After that, as we would discover, it wasn’t really Jean. In ELSEWHEN, of course, events unfold along much the same timeline, except that a mentally diminished Jean survives the battle on the Moon. Except it isn’t Jean. Now, Wolverine and Jean are essentially meeting for the first time—only, not. ___________ * When I had Ororo appear in XHY there was much grumbling from some corners of X-fandom. Why had they not recognized each other in GSXM? Most of these complaints seemed to originate with that mentality that expects characters to speak in footnotes. And all overlooked that long flight home, when there was plenty of time for recognition.
