Oh shite. After getting telepathically assaulted during the battle between the Rejects and the Chosen at the beginning of this Judgement War storyline, Jean finally regains consciousness while prisoner of the Rejects, but much to the Beast’s surprise, it’s not Jean’s own consciousness that rises to the surface once she wakes up, but instead it’s Madelyne Pryor’s. This was unexpected to say the least, but not surprising, considering the mind meld that took place when Jean finally took down Madelyne at the end of Inferno. This must not persist for very long, because I don’t remember Madelyne being resident in Jean’s head for any great period of time back in the day, but it will be interesting to see how this gets resolved (I hope they resolve it and don’t just forget about it).
