A 1980 X-Men story by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, taking place from X-Men #129 to #137, and one of Marvel Comics' most iconic storylines.Fresh off a battle with Proteus, the X-Men are plunged into a battle with the mysterious Hellfire Club, while Phoenix, just back from a vacation in Greece and Scotland, finds herself psychically shifting in time to a Revolutionary War-era ancestor, who's engaged to a mysterious, roguishly handsome man named Jason Wyngarde.In between Jean's "timeslips," she helps the X-Men rescue new mutants Kitty Pryde and Dazzler from the Hellfire Club: White Queen Emma Frost, Black King Sebastian Shaw, White Bishop Donald Pierce, Black Rook Harry Leland, and probationary member Wyngarde. However, when the time comes for the final showdown with them, she mysteriously switches sides, fighting alongside Wyngarde and Hellfire against the team. As a result, the X-Men are soundly trounced, and Phoenix is named Hellfire's Black Queen.Thanks to a psychic rapport he forged with her before the attack, Cyclops manages to get through to Jean and reveal the truth to her: that Jason Wyngarde is really the X-Men's old enemy Mastermind operating under his real name, and that he's just making her believe she's time-shifting, the better to gain control of her through her Dark Side.Once Wyngarde's treachery is exposed, the X-Men get their second wind, defeating Hellfire and escaping into the night. But the damage to Jean's mind is done... even though she's free of Wyngarde's mind control, there's something inside her that's been broken.The corruption takes her over swiftly, and she transforms from Phoenix to Dark Phoenix a thousand feet over Central Park, destroying the X-Men's aircraft for about the dozenth time. note Technically, it wasn't even really their jet, but an Avengers Quinjet that then-Avenger Beast had "borrowed" in an attempt to come aid his old team, but Quinjets get blown up even more often than the Blackbird anyway. After a fight with those she loved, which can only be described as a Curb-Stomp Battle, Dark Phoenix leaves Earth altogether, triggering the Significance Sense of everyone from Doctor Strange to Spider-Man to the Silver Surfer. Zipping through the universe on a cosmic joyride, she finds herself getting hungry... and the nearest source of food is a star in the Shi'Ar Galaxy.The Dark Phoenix Saga is one of the most controversial X-Men stories of all time, yet more due to the Retcons and rewrites than the story itself, as it was actually one of the most beloved tales in the franchise's history. It catapulted the already-well-liked Claremont/Byrne creative team to superstardom, even as it also sowed the seeds for what would eventually be their breakup.(It should be noted however that killing off Jean Grey wasn't their idea; editor Jim Shooter forced them to do it, feeling that allowing her to live after killing billions of people would not be fair. Claremont later admitted that it made for a better ending, and most fans agreed.note On the other hand...: another telling of the story is this — that the original intent of the Dark Phoenix Saga was for Jean to become a recurring villain on the order of Galactus or Doctor Doom, and it was the understanding of Shooter that she would escape to plague the X-Men and the universe later on. That, he was apparently perfectly fine with. When he learned how the ending was actually going to occur, with Jean being psychically lobotomized and released to the custody of the X-Men, Shooter deemed it a weak ending and morally unsatisfying and called Claremont out on it. (He later recalled it as being on the order of "taking the German Army away from Hitler after World War II and letting him go back to governing Germany.") Shooter first suggested that Jean!Phoenix be imprisoned permanently, but Claremont asserted that Cyclops would lead the X-Men on rescue mission after rescue mission to get her back. Shooter still demanded a just punishment for Phoenix. Out of frustration, Claremont suggested, tongue-in-cheek, that perhaps they should just kill her, believing that Shooter would not go along with it, as killing main characters permanently was just not done at that time. To his shock, Shooter endorsed the plan, leading to the death of Dark Phoenix.)Since its original publication, this story has been adapted in two films of the X-Men film series: 2006's The Last Stand, and 2018's Dark Phoenix. While the former only incorporated part of the Saga into its plot, the latter is meant to be a more faithful adaptation and use the Dark Phoenix as its focus. | |

| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_11bc87bc | comment |
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: John Byrne based the original designs for all the Hellfire Club characters on famous actors (most of whom they're partly named after), and Kitty Pryde on an adolescent Sigourney Weaver. Fittingly, a story four issues later featured Kitty alone in the X-mansion battling a demon that looked suspiciously like a Xenomorph. | |

| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_14431f9 | comment |
Super-Powered Evil Side: The original intent of this story was that Dark Phoenix was Jean Grey, corrupted by her power and Wyngarde's machinations. The Phoenix was retconned as a Cosmic Being of its own who had replaced Jean (and forgot about it) so the real Jean could turn up alive later. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: Originally meant to be explicitly averted by all involved — Jean Grey was to stay dead. Madelyne Pryor was intended to be just what she presented herself as — a normal human who just happened to have an uncanny resemblance to Jean. Unfortunately, it was decided about six years later that the original five X-Men should have their own book, and there had to be a way to bring Jean back. This led to the continuity trainwreck that was Inferno, and opened the door for the "Jean Grey Memorial Revolving Pearly Gates" jokes. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Loads of them: Phoenix's psychic duel against Emma Frost. Emma's able to hold out for a while, but it's quickly made clear that she has no chance of winning against Phoenix, who was only testing her to learn her strengths and weaknesses - it's over almost immediately once she really begins to attack. The Hellfire Club's ambush of the X-Men, and in turn, the X-Men's retaliatory strike against Hellfire. Of particular note is the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown Wolverine delivers to the entire Hellfire Club after having been smashed through several stories and into the sewers. Dark Phoenix's first fight against the X-Men. And finally, the X-Men's beatdown at the hands of the Imperial Guard. In fairness, the X-Men were badly outnumbered, but watching Colossus go down hard in a one-on-one fight with Gladiator is when it becomes clear they have no hope of victory. | |

Brainwashing for the Greater Good: The Prydes are initially furious at the thought of Kitty going to the Xavier Institute after the Hellfire Club's attack. Then Phoenix gives them a "little nudge" and they become a lot more agreeable. It serves a sign of Jean's encroaching corruption (though in fairness, Kitty going to the X-Institute is far safer than going with Emma Frost). | |

Superman Stays Out of Gotham | |
| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_70489c17 | comment |
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Subtly lampshaded, as Marvel heroes from all over the universe pick up on Dark Phoenix's manifestation, but the whole story happens too quickly for anyone to respond to it. And just before that, the Beast deliberately invokes the trope. Hank was an Avenger at the time, and happened to be on monitor duty when the NYPD alert about the X-Men fighting at the Hellfire Club came through. Instead of alerting his current teammates, he took a Quinjet out by himself to come to his former team's aid. Though in fairness, the Avengers had been called in specifically to aid the Villain with Good Publicity Hellfire Club against the those dirty mutie outlaw X-Men. And Beast later attempted to fix it by taking Lilandra's offer to leave because he was not technically an X-Man, planning to come back with all of his fellow Avengers to help, only for Angel to declare that there was no way he and Beast would abandon their friends in their time of need. | |

Jerkass Ball: The Professor grabs the ball and hard in the first issue of the storyline. He puts the X-Men through training, which is fair enough, but treats them like children, even though by this point the X-Men have more than proven themselves as a team. Scott tries pointing out to the Professor that what he's doing just won't work. The Professor then somehow comes to the conclusion that this is Scott's fault, and he'll need to "correct" it. Scott doesn't manage to get through to him before Cerebro goes off. | |

Mind Rape | |
| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_8a4988bb | comment |
Mind Rape: The White Queen does this to Storm while she's holding her hostage. Jean herself gets in on the act while she's punishing Mastermind, by granting him omniscience to drive him insane. Of course, what he did to her first was really just another form of Mind Rape. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: When the Dark Phoenix suddenly reemerges at the climax of the saga, Empress Lilandra desperately invokes Plan Omega: destroy the entire solar system and pray they can kill Dark Phoenix in the process. At that point, Xavier has no choice but to order his X-Men to kill Jean themselves to preempt this measure. | |

Took A Level In Bad Ass: Sure, the Imperial Guard was pretty tough when they first appeared. In that fight the X-Men were gradually losing, least until Corsair and his team dived in. But the second battle....OW! Cyclops was off on his strategy and this was before Wolverine was a Canon Sue. And more importantly Mastermind goes from being a guy who goes 'boo' with fake monsters to almost destroying the X-Men all by himself. | |

Homage: Not many people know this, but the Logo Joke seen in the page image was based on the cover to the first issue of the Roy Thomas / Neal Adams run◊. It might be something of a metafictional The Worf Effect, given that the Living Monolith doesn't crack the logo or send the X-Men sprawling. | |

Myth Arc | |
| The Dark Phoenix Saga (Comic Book) / int_ac7cbf8d | comment |
Myth Arc: Part of what makes this story so remarkable. It was the climax of a massive Myth Arc that Claremont had been building up to since issue #97 in 1975, when Professor X got his first look at the Shi'ar. Over the course of 41 issues (almost five years), Jean Grey died, was resurrected, took on an alien empire, saved the galaxy from imploding, turned to the dark side, took on an alien empire (again), and died. | |
