Besides the ultimately sensational Spider-Man, and the tragic dark figure known as Batman, the X-Men have been a key focal point in my interest in the universe of comics. From the moment I viewed the widely underrated film, X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, I had unknowingly begun a journey into pursuing their adventures in the comics. Out of all the X-Men comics I've read, Chris Claremont's run became not only my favorite (as well as thousands of X-fans), but also a major defining moment in the history of the team. Not only did Claremont help bring the new X-Men members (Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler) to light, but he also introduced the racism towards mutants as a prominent theme, and wrote the series on the basis of character development. In the eyes of nearly all X-Men fans, no story of Claremont's has seen greater character development than the classic DARK PHOENIX SAGA.In MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE UNCANNY X-MEN VOL. 2, the X-Man Jean Grey was supposedly killed by the intense radiation of a solar storm while piloting a shuttle back to Earth, but instead Jean underwent a different fate. When the shuttle crashed into the Hudson River, both her and her teammates were astonished to see her rise out of the water with her mutant powers increased tenfold, declaring herself reborn as a being known as the Phoenix. As the X-Men series continued, so did the growth of Jean's new persona. Not only were her telepathic and telekinetic abilities enhanced, but also her personality gradually grew more dark and merciless. The development of the Phoenix's power reaches its peak in THE DARK PHOENIX SAGA.After the X-Men defeat Moira Mactaggert's mutant son Proteus on Muir Island, Jean Grey begins to suffer from strange hallucinations.
