In superhero comics, death tends to be little more than a temporary inconvenience. Between magic, cloning, time travel and simple retconning, there is no shortage of ways for comic book writers to bring characters back from beyond the grave. This is especially true of the X-Men, for whom rebirth has become a common occurrence in recent years thanks to the Resurrection Protocols of Krakoa.The impermanence of death has led many comic fans to consider it a wholly inconsequential plot point, but this is not necessarily the case. Even if a character’s death is eventually undone, it can have a profound impact on that character’s loved ones, and writers can leverage this to create some memorable, powerful moments. One such example can be found in Uncanny X-Men #303 from 1993, which dealt with the aftermath of a major character’s demise and featured one of Jean Grey’s most important quotes.Illyana had once been the sword-wielding teenage superhero known as Magik, but during the events of the “Inferno” storyline, she was reverted to just six years old, giving her a second chance at the childhood she lost during her years trapped in the demonic realm of Limbo. Despite the X-Men’s best efforts to cure Illyana, the Legacy Virus claimed her life.
