Jean is a whole other story. Powerful, intelligent sexy redhead. The costume and everything just hooked me but to me she was far too powerful. I could never think of a way to honor that power while bringing her down. It's been done in the comics many times as anyone who has read them knows. Her power comes from her mind so I thought the best way to bring her down would be through that.
Thinking about that I came across an old storyline in the comics I read. It was about the Neo, a super powered community of non mutants who of course wanted to eliminate all mutants. They were separated into clans and one of those clans was the Crimson Pirates led by a man called Tullamere Voge. They were slavers. They came across the X-Men and managed to capture a few of them. I thought how would I continue their story because they largely haven't been seen in the books since. Thankfully they provided some good images to inspire.
