Jean was in a cocoon underwater for years with the Phoenix using her identity all this time. Later on, it was retconned so that she wasn’t Jean at all. Here’s a look at the original story and the many attempts to adapt it, for better or worse. X-Men’s true epic gets a lot of play and for good reason. Then there’s Dark Phoenix, which is such an odd choice because they already did it just over a decade ago with the generally reviled X-Men: The Last Stand. ![]() ![]() Age of Apocalypse wasn’t going to be viable so soon after doing a time-travel/reality-altering movie, but they were at least able to finally introduce said villain. X-Men: Days of Future Past allowed them to retell the classic story while mixing the casts of both eras. The last three major X-Men movies have been trying to fit around that in a way. And while Giant-Sized X-Men #1 is arguably the most important tale, it’s not the one that everyone keeps going back to the well for as much as these three giants. There are a lot of beloved and classic X-Men stories throughout the years and I’d say that the three biggest (not best, but most prominent) are Days of Future Past, Age of Apocalypse, and Dark Phoenix Saga.
