Jia seconds before her mutation
Origin[]
When Cyclops became the Dark Phoenix and began destroying the Earth, Jia Jing was on a bus ride in Beijing, China.
As that bus drove off a bridge, Spider-Man prevented it from falling by restraining it using his web, and swooped in to rescue the occupants.
At the same time, the Phoenix was dispersed by Hope Summers and the Scarlet Witch; Jia's powers manifested while under Spider-Man's protection.[1]
