Ever since the ancient, seemingly all-powerful cosmic raptor known as the Phoenix Force made its Marvel Comics debut, it has been inextricably linked to the X-Men’s very own Jean Grey. For everything that the two have been through together, this isn’t all that surprising, although the evolution of their relationship absolutely has been. Now, the latest shift in that ever-changing bond is poised to bring Jean and the Phoenix closer together than ever before, and their shared flames might just be enough to snuff Orchis out once and for all.Throughout the course of her self-titled series, Jean Grey has grappled with the consequences of her death following Orchis’ assault on the most recent Hellfire Gala. Since her demise, Jean’s psyche has wandered her own past, desperately searching for some singular moment where things went wrong. As seen in the pages of Jean Grey #4 (by Louise Simonson, Bernard Chang, Marcelo Maiolo, Jay Bown, and VC’s Ariana Maher), what Jean finds instead is a harsh reminder that there will always be forces beyond her control. Upon discovering a meek, diminutive Phoenix Force within the endless expanse of the White Hot Room, Jean is finally able to not only come to terms with the darkest moments from her past, but with all the guilt that has haunted her as a result of them. More importantly, she is able to reconcile the role that the Phoenix has had in so many of them, clearing the way for the two of them to burn brighter than ever going forward.Apart from the circumstances surrounding Jean and the Phoenix’s first meeting being as complex as they were, the introduction of the villainous Mastermind’s influence soon enough drove the two over the edge. In turn, the Dark Phoenix emerged, giving readers their first glimpse at the profoundly destructive power the cosmic raptor commands. At the time, it took Jean making the ultimate sacrifice to quell the Phoenix’s rage, though that wasn’t nearly the end of either of their stories. In the years since, the Phoenix has bonded with all manner of people in Jean’s orbit, from her wayward clone Madelyne Pryor to the likes of Rachel and Hope Summers. Most often, the Phoenix has been seen as a bearer of death and destruction by those who have only ever experienced it as an outside force, whereas those who have grown close to it understand that it is just as much a harbinger of life and rebirth. While this difference in opinion was what ultimately led to the first war between the Avengers and X-Men, it was also what made the death of Jean at the Hellfire Gala such a devastating development for the rest of mutantkind.
