text: jean grey is dead?? really?? i can't believe it.. sorry i've been a fan of x-men but i've stop buying comics...and how bout cyclops? yeah,she is dead. jean assumed the position of acting headmistress of the xavier institute and was revisited by the phoenix force. following an attack on the x-men by a mutant impersonating magneto named xorn (who had previously been a teacher at the institute), jean and wolverine were trapped on a space station that was hurtling into the sun. seeing no hope for survival, and wanting to spare his teammate further suffering, wolverine seemingly killed jean, unleashing the phoenix consciousness within her and resurrecting her. returning to earth, jean, with the power of the phoenix, opposed the faux magneto and was killed by a massive stroke induced by a lethal electromagnetic pulse.
