Professor Charles Xavier located Ororo Munroe in an Athens, Texas, jail by using the psychic amplifier Cerebro. According to the police report, Ororo had stolen a 1978 Mustang. When authorities finally caught up to her and pulled her over, she used her mutant ability to create a lightning storm. Because she could not fully control her powers, Ororo almost electrocuted a playground full of students. The police used force to subdue her.

The young telepath known as Marvel Girl easily entered the Athens police lockup by causing the guard to believe that she was an FBI agent dispatched to retrieve Ororo. In reality, Xavier had sent Jean to bring Ororo to his Institute for Gifted Children. There, he had begun assembling a team of "X-Men" to help him stop the coming war between humans and mutants. Previously, Ororo had refused a similar offer to join the terrorist Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants.

Though skeptical, she joined the X-Men in the hope of learning to control her mutant powers.
