Synopsis:
After the destruction of D’Bari, Majestrix Lilandra decides to take action against Dark Phoenix, who has, in the meantime, returned home. What starts as a visit to her parents quickly escalates into a hostile situation, which the X-Men join, trying to bring Phoenix down with the help of a psionic scrambler. Phoenix quickly burns the device out, however, and renders all X-Men but Cyclops helpless. Cyclops appeals to her human side and may very well have succeeded, if not for the intervention of the newly-arrived Professor X, who telepathically attacks Phoenix. The two telepaths fight and it is only with the help of Phoenix’s human side that Xavier manages to bind her awesome power, seemingly forever. Jean is returned to normal and Cyclops proposes to her. The X-Men are barely able to take a breather, when they are all suddenly teleported away.
Notes:
- Dark Phoenix destroyed D’Bari and the Shi’ar cruiser last issue.
- Jean apparently turned to Phoenix between X-Men (1st series) #99 and 100. Phoenix saved the universe in X-Men (1st series) #108.
- Though Sarah Grey believes she has seen her sister with superpowers for the first time this issue, they actually shared an adventure together in Bizarre Adventures #27.
