| Unquestionably the most well-regarded, well-known and best-loved story in X-Men history, the Dark Phoenix Saga is one of the greatest comic-book tales of all time. Prior to the Dark Phoenix Saga, we witnessed part of the power of the Phoenix, a primordial force that had chosen Jean Grey as a host. It’s possible that Jean could have learned to control and even harness the Phoenix Force, but the Hellfire Club had other ideas. Mastermind began messing with Jean Grey’s head, slowly twisting her into a loyal member. But the HFC got far more than they bargained for, ultimately unleashing the Phoenix to threaten the safety of the entire universe.The Phoenix was a destroyer of worlds, more powerful and more feared than Galactus. The Shi’ar knew that in order to keep the universe safe, Jean Grey had to die. Of course, the X-Men were not going to stand for such a thing. But the Phoenix was, in fact, too much for Jean Grey to control and she knew it. Jean sacrificed herself for the greater good.
Uatu, the Watcher, perhaps the most annoying cosmic character in all of Marvel-dom, managed to summarize the events with rare poignancy. “Jean Grey could have lived to become a God. But it was more important that she die… a human.” |

| Days of Future Past is the name of a popular storyline in the Marvel Comics comic book Uncanny X-Men issues #141 and #142. It deals with a dystopian alternate future in which mutants are incarcarated in concentration camps. An older Kitty Pryde transfers her mind into the younger, present-day Kitty Pryde, who brings the X-Men to prevent a fatal moment in history which triggers anti-mutant hysteria.The storyline was very popular at the time and was produced during the franchise’s meteoric rise to popularity, which was largely due to the Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past writer/artist team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne. As a result of this popularity, the dark future seen in this story was revisited later on several occasions. |
The IE team listened carefully to feedback from many sources and worked hard to deliver a safer browser that makes everyday tasks easier. The Phishing Filter and the architectural work in IE7 around networking and ActiveX opt-in will help keep users more secure. IE7’s CSS improvements are incredibly important for developers as many of you have made quite clear. I also think IE7’s RSS experience and platform are important, powerful, and innovative.
