Jason Wyngarde is a member of the Inner Circle and the main instigator of Jean Grey's corruption into the Dark Phoenix.
Biography[]
Wyngarde, with help of Emma Frost, entered Jean Grey's mind and projected a dream world where Jean fell in love with him. Thanks to this illusion, they managed to have Jean join the Inner Circle. This made Jean's Dark Phoenix persona emerge, and she eventually eschewed the Inner Circle. When Wyngarde tried to use his illusions on her again, Phoenix didn't fall for them and forced Wyngarde to assume his true weak form.
Alternate Version[]
In a alternate reality, Jason was a member of Magneto's X-Men.
Background[]
Wyngarde was voiced by Nigel Bennett.
As the series' version of the X-Men had never faced Wyngarde before the Dark Phoenix saga, his "real form" doesn't have any real purpose besides being a nod to the comics.
