Since the Start of X-men comic book in 1963 by Stan lee and Jacv Kirby , we were introduced to numerous iconic characters and some great storylines of all time. This particular storyline known as “ The Dark Phoenix Saga”, written by Chrish Claremont with artist John Byrne was first published in the pages of Uncanny X-Men comic between 1976-1980 in issue no #101-108 and #129-138. Interestingly this storyline is the first major hit in comic book that features a female character with a lead and prominent role. This storyline was a proof that female characters in comics could be multi-layered and powerfull as any other male character. In the comic we can see Jean Grey transform into a god like entity powerful enough to wipe out an entire palnet.
