If Shadowcat is my girl-next-door, Jean Grey is my goddess. I've been a Jean Grey fan since 1991 with X-Factor Annual #6. I love the original 5 X-Men and Jean is a major reason why. The red hair, the voluptuous body, the fiery personality and some awesome powers. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963, she is now more closely aligned with her story of power gone bad in the "Dark Phoenix" Saga from 1980 written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne. After her tragic death, she stayed dead until 1986 when she was brought back to star in X-Factor with other original X-Men. Killed again at the end of the Grant Morrison run, we once again wait for the return of our Phoenix. Phoenix is not one of the All-New, All-Different X-Men from 1975 but I think that she has still remained one of the most important X-Men. She was in the 1990s cartoon, X-Men Evolution and the movies. The movies even continued the Jean/Scott/Logan love-triangle from the comics.
