Look, sometimes, when you’re unemployed and have a lot of time on your hands, you finally succumb to Stefanie’s evil masterplan and watch five seasons of Grey’s Anatomy in a ridiculously short amount of time. Combine that with a healthy love for comics, a chat full of crazy friends (ie. all the other PCRers) and you get…
Grey’s Anatomy, X-MEN STYLE!
Which of our favorite mutants are roaming the Seattle Grace halls? Keep on reading to find out!
Meredith Grey: Jean Grey

The obvious choice for the title role. From cheating (sort of) boyfriends/husbands to coming back from the dead, they’ve got more in common than you’d think. Meredith likes to say she’s all dark and twisty inside, Jean’s got the Phoenix.
Cristina Yang: Storm

Storm may not be the hard-ass, unfeeling robot Cristina’s often accused of being, but they’re both incredibly strong, independent women who know how to reach for and get to the top. Falling for the head of cardio-thoracic surgery, falling for the King of Wakanda, it’s all the same.
Izzie Stevens: Kitty Pryde

Kitty’s been the baby of the group for years, and in some ways Izzie is as well. She has to constantly be reminded (much like the way Wolverine “mentors” Kitty) not to get too close to patients, she took six years to complete med school instead of four, and, like Kitty, she’s grown into a woman with her own identity and purpose with the Clinic. But the crazy, that’s all Izzie.
Alex Karev: Colossus

Okay, so this one is kind of a stretch because Colossus isn’t a colossal (heh) jackass, but it works if Izzie is Kitty. You could also say Alex isn’t quite the jackass he used to be – he’s still an ass, but he’s got a heart of gold. Dare I say his way of protecting himself emotionally is the same as Colossus going to metal form to protect himself? Yes, of course I dare. Because I just wrote it.
George O’Malley: Iceman

Both George and Bobby were sort of the goofy, loveable ones at the start. Bobby looked like a snowman, George was the adorable best friend and comic relief. But both have grown into fine men, having learned how to navigate life with dignity. And yeah, still the comic relief, but you love them for it.
Lexie Grey: Jubilee

Another young intern, another young X-Man. Lexie’s enthusiasm for being at Seattle Grace is almost akin to Jubilee’s fireworks. Okay, yeah, I’m stretching it.
Miranda Bailey: Wolverine

You are goddamn right I made this match up. Come on! They’re both short and have an in your face, take no prisoners way of teaching. Even when you know they have a soft spot for their charges, you wouldn’t want to mess with them. Miranda Bailey is the best at what she does, and what she does is shank a bitch who tries to steal her surgeries. Of course, this leads us into…
Tucker Bailey: X-23

You can’t even deny it.
Callie Torres: Rogue

Both Callie and Rogue are pretty much the very definition of sassy, hot, badass chicks.
Derek Shepherd: Cyclops

Not only did they both cheat (sort of) on their girlfriends/wives, they’re both sometimes super douchey- but we love them anyway.
Preston Burke: Beast

There’s a quiet intelligence and wisdom Burke seems to have (even when he’s being douchier than Shepherd) that reminds me a lot of McCoy.
Addison Montgomery: Emma Frost

Much like Emma, Addison was The Enemy at first, taking The Man away from Grey, but she eventually grew to become one of SGH’s own, the way Emma is now an X-Man. And, you know, they’re hot.
Mark Sloan: Gambit

Gambit isn’t quite the manwhore McSteamy is, but they both have an effortless sexuality that have women falling all over themselves. They’re both my favorites from each canon, so I’m working with a little bias here. Just a tiny one.
Erica Hahn: Psylocke

So yeah, I have no real reason for this, other than the fact that I think Erica is a badass.
Owen Hunt: Banshee

They’re redheads, they’re badasses, they’ve got tortured pasts and are kind of intense. Stefanie once did a Generation X casting picspam and Kevin McKidd was her choice for Banshee as well. Obviously this means I’m right.
Arizona Robbins: Dazzler

Arizona had me at the rollersneaks, and something about them screams Dazzler to me. I don’t know! I just love them.
Chief Webber: Professor X

Last but not least, the obvious choice. Both men would do anything for their dream/hospital, including being giant jerkfaces to the people who look up to and love them. One day Shepherd is going to be Chief of Surgery and then where will you be, Chief? Out on your ass, just like Scott did Xavier. Be nice.
There it is. Agree? Disagree? Have other choices? Want to tell me I’ve taken a little to much crack?


This is truly the greatest blog post in the history of life. Except where you revealed my masterplan to the world. D:
Reveal what masterplan, you are pretty open about your masterplan. YOU HAVE EVERYONE WATCHING GREY’S NOW. XD
Hahahaha awesome. I love doing stuff like this. Well done!
Thank you! It was ridiculous and fun.
I still say Denny = Colossus, but that’s just me.
The Burke and George matches kind of scarily up to Iceman and Beast though.
LMAO, if you’d actually SAID it instead of thinking it, I would have changed him.
I KIND OF LOVE THIS A LOT.
Even if it just makes me crack up even more (especially given the addition of Dr Teddy Altman to the SGH). GOOD TIMES.
fjksajflsdkj DR TEDDY ALTMAN ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OMG LMAOOOOOOOO.
If he has a gay boyfriend named Billy I’m going to die happy.
NO I’M NOT.
AND TEDDY IS A BLONDE WOMAN.
I THOUGHT WE TOLD YOU THIS.
She shows up this week. God bless Allan Heinberg.
Um, this is the awesomest thing I’ve read in a while. Love it. I especially like the McDreamy/ Cyclops comparison, and your explanation as to what they have in common. Hehe. Oh, and Gambit and McSteamy are my fave guys from both worlds too.
LOLLL thanks! And man, McDreamy and Chief really are doing the whole Cyclops and Xavier dance right now on the show, it’s amazing. XD
Sometimes when I’m bored in night class I imagine McSteamy as Gambit. It makes me happy.
Okay, this is kind of fucking awesome.
Your face is awesome.
Making Grey’s references to Marvel characters is about as relevant as Disney buying Marvel!
This is the internet, everything is relevant.
nice comparison

Thanks!
This link was forwarded to me and put such a smile on my face that I still can’t help but grin whenever I think of Bailey as Wolverine. You absolutely nailed this list (I mean, seriously, what are you gonna do with Kerev but make him Colossus anyway?). Do you mind if we respost the list on PopCultureShock and give you credit?
Hope you’re enjoying the new season of Greys as much as I am. It’s certainly something the show desperately needed, IMO.
Hahaha, thank you so much! And reposting would be totally cool.
I am! I’m still in the honeymoon stage with Grey’s, so I can’t find any real faults with anything in it as I’ve seen in my bit of surfing around and reading reviews.
This might have been said and I missed it, but shouldn’t Tucker Bailey be Daken? Considering X-23 is a clone and Daken is Wolverine’s legitimate offspring?
I did think about making Tucker Daken, but I like X-23 more, so I chose her.
