Ryan Smith is located just south of Boston and is a lifelong fan of movies, comics, music and all things pop culture... and pro wrestling, but don't hold that against him.
This article contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
In less than a week, Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned over a billion dollars at the global box office, earned praise from both critics and audiences alike, and became a much-needed major success for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Many fans were worried about where this latest installment in the ever-popular Spider-Man series would bring the webhead, but all the apprehension seems to have subsided once the end credits rolled. Given reports of creative differences when initially planning this particular Spider-Man sequel, to deliver such a roaring success is proof that those behind the curtain made the right call.
The well-guarded secret of who Stranger Things star Sadie Sink would be taking on was also revealed, of course. Sink is officially the MCU's new Jean Grey, aka Marvel Girl. Sink joins Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner in Jean Grey's storied live-action lineage, and it's safe to say she's already brought a whole new atmosphere with her take on the character. Spider-Man: Brand New Day's ending leaves it ambiguous as to what's next for Jean Grey in the MCU, so it's difficult to tell where exactly she'll end up in Spider-Man's life down the line. However, taking a look back at Marvel Comics' Untold Tales of Spider-Man #21 can, at the very least, allow readers to find out where Spider-Man and Jean Grey first canonically met.
Spider-Man and Jean Grey's First Canonical Meeting Can Be Found In Spider-Man #21

In all fairness, 1995's Untold Tales of Spider-Man #21 is technically a Spider-Man/X-Men crossover, meant to tell the tale of when Spidey met all the X-Men for the first time in Marvel Comics canon. Still, that means it was also the day Spider-Man first interacted with Jean Grey in any way. In a fun turn, the story takes place when the characters really were at their earliest, as readers get acquainted with the first version of the X-Men, as they initially appeared in comic form. The writing by Kurt Busiek and artwork by Pat Olliffe did a fantastic job emulating the time period from which Spider-Man and the X-Men's first crossover actually appeared in 1967's The X-Men #35.
Untold Tales of Spider-Man #21 brings Spider-Man and the X-Men together when they both happen to be visiting the same New York City coffee shop at the same time. While on a date with Liz Allan, Peter Parker remained oblivious to the five gifted youngsters who had just strolled in — Scott Summers, Hank McCoy, Bobby Drake, Warren Worthington III and, of course, Jean Grey. While this particular adventure couldn't have started in the most unassuming way, it becomes clear quickly that the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will soon need to recruit the help of Charles Xavier's most-trusted students.

It wasn't until all these heroes suited up to take on Menace and his crew of Mutantmen robots that any of them formally spoke. This first canonical crossover between Spider-Man and X-Men saw the iconic Marvel heroes work together to take out the threat and save New York once again. Although this is technically Spider-Man and Jean Grey's first meeting, the entirety of their interaction comes when Jean — in her original Marvel Girl costume — assumes Spider-Man is going to blame them for the carnage in New York City. Unfortunately, this marks the end of their only real direct dealings, and leads to Cyclops and Spider-Man hashing things out to realize they're both fighting on the same side. So, while this meeting isn't anywhere near as interesting as the arc written between Spider-Man and Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it is still the first time these two Marvel icons met, canonically.
This Short Story Emphasizes Peter Parker's Unwavering Kindness

As Untold Tales of Spider-Man #21 kicks off, the X-Men visit an NYC coffee shop in their civilian clothes, where they unfortunately hear a lot of anti-mutant sentiment — which harkens back to the metaphor-heavy early days of the X-Men comics. This time, however, the hate is intentionally spread by a nearby Mutantman — one of many small seemingly-humanoid creatures out to start trouble — who hides behind a newspaper while spreading bigoted sentiments across the crowded establishment.
When Liz Allan shivers at the thought of mutants among them, her date, Peter Parker, is quick to explain that mutants are no different from normal people, morally speaking. While they may have differences with their powers, there are good and bad mutants — just like there are good and bad humans. This has long been a theme in X-Men comics, so it was nice that writer Kurt Busiek included Peter Parker's take on it in a Spider-Man book. And artist Pat Olliffe's great throwback art style made it a lot easier for readers familiar with the early days of Marvel to be engrossed in the familiar storytelling.

As it would turn out, the Mutantmen were just robots being controlled by Menace, a villain who claimed to be a mutant who's on an anti-human crusade. This is just a lie, as Menace is unmasked to be nothing more than a bigoted human attempting to stoke the fires of distrust and division. Given Peter's emotional defense of mutants seen earlier in the comic, it stands to reason that Spider-Man has some extra motivation to get to the bottom of Menace's scheme — especially if it means teaming up with Jean Grey and her fellow X-Men.
This issue of Spider-Man is yet another example of the kindness that Peter Parker constantly exhibits. As part of the great responsibility that comes with his great power, Peter understands that strong morals are just as important — if not more important — than strong powers for crime fighting. Not only is he pro-mutant, but he also calms Jean Grey's nerves when she's worried he may blame the X-Men for the destruction that came about during their battle with Menace. His kindness from his comic books is a foundational personality trait that has followed Spider-Man through every live-action iteration of the character, from Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man trilogy all the way to the MCU's most recent Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Since his first appearance in 1962, Spider-Man has almost always been Marvel Comics' most popular character. Known for his sense of humor and bad luck as well as his selflessness and super-strength, Spider-Man has helmed countless titles over the years, Spider-Man's most prominent comics include The Amazing Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Peter Parker was the original Spider-Man but the Spider-Verse has become an important part of the character's lore in recent years. Multiversal and future Spider-Men include Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Miguel O'Hara and Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham. This provided the premise for the popular Spider-Verse film trilogy, which makes Miles its primary hero.
Spider-Man is also the basis of several live-action film franchises and numerous animated television series. He is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. While he's changed a lot over the decades, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee gave the world an unforgettable hero when they created Spider-Man.
