This is where the story gets even more complicated. Marvel Comics wanted Jean Grey back amongst the living, as she was going to have a pivotal roll in the new " X-Factor " series.
These days if any character is killed off, plans are made to how (if needed) bring the character back to life in the future. ..... But way back in the 1980's, when a Hero died... they stayed dead.
This is how things originally happened...... (In Marvel Comics I mean !)
Jean Grey had appeared to Die at the end of X-Men 100 # 1976 escaping from Trask's Space Station.
Jean was reborn as the Phoenix the following issue X-Men 101 #

Jean calling herself Phoenix helps the X-Men once again. Even helps save the Universe with her new found Cosmic Level Powers.
Over a number of months, Jean's mind was manipulated by Mastermind and until she becomes an evil version of herself. Jean is now The Black Queen of the Hellfire Club X-Men 132#

| Lady Jean Grey, The Black Queen of the Hellfire Club |
Jean became more unhinged and evolves into The Dark Phoenix in X-Men 134 #
 |
| Dark Phoenix Arises |
After causing destruction and death, Jean is temporary captured and depowered to her pre Phoenix power levels of Marvel Girl......X-Men 136#
BUT
 |
| For the Last Time Jean dresses as Marvel Girl |
The Phoenix returns ....
Jean knowing she will never be able to fully control the power of the Phoenix , commits Suicide in X-Men 137 # 1980
and Jean is incinerated and Dies in front of Scott.
In the following issue Funeral is held for Jean Grey and a broken hearted Scott Summers leaves the X-Men, and travels the world.
Scott Summers later would meet Madeline Pryor. X-Men
Scott marries Madeline, and later has a son with her called Nathan Christopher.
Unfortunately Jean was Dead, she was not the only X-Man to ever die. Remember what happened to Thunderbird in X-Men ? One of the Shortest lived members of the X-Men . (Apart from SunFire ok he did not die, he just went back to Japan )
Thunderbird died in X-Men 95 # after being a being on the team for only 2 issues !!!!!

The Story of Jean Grey was now over....... or it was for the next 6 years anyway.
Next Time Jean's past is changed to allow here a future.
Until then ENJOY!
