Jean Grey

Which time? Yes, that's the natural joke to go toward, but the truth is, that resurrection is part of Jean Grey's character just shows how beloved she is. Jean's first resurrection came exactly one issue after her first death. Jean gave her life to save her love, Scott Summers, and her friends and teammates on the X-Men from a crashing spaceship. Then she rises from the underwater wreckage, clad in a new green and yellow costume and calling herself "Phoenix," the mystical bird of death and resurrection. Jean would die again when she lost control of the Phoenix, a cosmic entity that pushes the cycle of death and rebirth through the universe, and did some pretty bad things (like you know, destroying an entire star system). She gained control and killed herself to stop the Phoenix. Jean's next return involved a healing cocoon (a common comic trick nowadays, eh Kal?) and her own little clone saga years ahead of the bulk of Spidey's. She would die one more time, and has yet to be resurrected from that final death. However, a young pre-any-of-her-deaths-Jean Grey will be transported to the future of now in All-New X-Men, written by Brian Bendis and starting in fall 2012.
