Notes

Jean Grey learns that Professor Xavier once loved her. Discovering that the man who has served as a father figure since she was a child saw her in romantic terms horrifies her.

The incident occurred in X-Men #3, published in 1963. The single panel in which Xavier thinks of his love for Jean was not referenced again; readers assumed that it was a non-canonical depiction until this issue.
