Now if you go back and read the Phoenix Saga you will see that there are lots of clues that Jean or should I say Phoenix was having problems mentally. When Phoenix first arrived Professor X was unable to use his mental abilities very much, and may be if he has been fitting fit himself he would have realised something was amiss with Jean.
Now we know why, she was acting strangely. Her out bursts of aggression at times had all wondering could one person really control all that power or even if they should ? The truth about what really happened to Jean in space would not come to light for many years.....and when the truth finally came out the story seems to be always gets more complex.
Behind the scenes and unknown to any one at the time, Jean's mind had been slowly manipulated. This had happened over many months, and soon she would become a pawn of the Hellfire Club.
Bit by bit Jean's mind was being altered. At first she would have flash backs to the 18th Century where she was a noble lady and seemed to be courted by a hansom stranger called Jason Wyngarde. Jean did not know if these visions were real or not, but what she had trouble with was the person she appeared to be in the past was hard and ruthless, and was not like her at all. However another part of her seemed to liked this "New" Jean.
These flash backs kept reoccurring and she realised that she was falling in love with this Jason. At the same time she felt that she was being in some way unfaithful to Scott. Jean was confused.
The X-Men would discover what was going on with Jean when they finally encountered the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club.
By this point Wyngarde had complete control over Jean, and this new ruthless woman was introduced as the New Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. The fantasy life that been built up around Jean was now a reality. She had become a dark version of herself.
Next Time we get to meet a new version of Jean. ..... even darker than The Black Queen.
Until then ENJOY !
