History

Origin[]

Joey was the son of Paul Bailey and Sara Grey-Bailey, who was the elder sister of Jean Grey. Like his aunt, Joey was a mutant.[5][1]

Nanny[]

When their house was blown up,[6] Gailyn and Joey were kidnapped by Nanny, who brainwashed them with her "pixie dust" and forced them to forget about their parents. Gailyn and Joey were collectively codenamed Shatter-Box and joined the Lost Boys And Girls.[2]

Living with Grandparents[]

They were rescued by Jean Grey and Cyclops, and then settled with their grandparents in Annandale-on-Hudson.[3][7] Together with their grandparents, Gailyn and Joey were guests at the wedding of Jean and Cyclops.[8]

Some time later Jean and Scott visited the Grey's house, and Cyclops tried to check the children for mutant powers. This angered Jean, who wanted a happy childhood for the children.[7]

After it became clear that Sara died,[9] Julia Grey and Brian Grey become guardians of Gailyn and Joey.[10]

During Operation: Zero Tolerance, Gailyn and Joey were hounded by the Prime Sentinels, but were saved thanks to Nate Grey and Roust.[5]

Death[]

Joey was eventually killed, along with most members of the Greys, by the Shi'ar Death Commandos.[10]
