First Appearance: What If? II#32 (December, 1991)

History: (What If? II#32 (fb)) - During a mission in space, Jean Grey opted to protect the X-Men from the cosmic radiation using her telekinesis. While dying from the radiation poisoning, she was contacted by the Phoenix Force, who wrapped her in a cocoon and assumed her form and identity. After saving the universe, the Phoenix was duped into becoming the Hellfire Club's Black Queen and eventually, she began to hunger for new emotions, killing an entire star system. Eventually, the Shi'ar Empire demanded that Phoenix be turned over to them in order to safeguard the universe. The X-Men disagreed and agreed to a trial by combat against the Shi'ar's Imperial Guard for the life of Phoenix.

 (What If? II#32) - Following the X-Men's defeat in the trial by combat, the Shi'ar gave Phoenix a psychic lobotomy, removing her powers and her threat to the universe. Tired and spiritually crushed, Phoenix left the X-Men, married Cyclops, and attempted to live a normal life. As the X-Men battled numerous foes in the following months, Phoenix began to lose sleep dreaming about those she had killed as Dark Phoenix. As Cyclops tried to comfort Jean, Magneto appeared before them causing Cyclops to instinctively fire an optic blast at him. Magneto quickly wrapped Cyclops in parts of his own home and agreed not to hurt Cyclops if Phoenix accompanied him back to his headquarters on Asteroid M. While aboard the Asteroid, Magneto offered Phoenix a chance to restore her lost powers as the X-Men made their way to the Asteroid to save her. The X-Men soon arrived and battled Magneto as Phoenix entered the device supposed able to restore her powers. She eventually denied the Phoenix inside the machine and destroyed it. Angry, Magneto demanded that Phoenix would pay, but she yelled that it was people like Magneto who made humans fear mutants to begin with. Claiming that he chose his path long ago, Magneto demanded the X-Men leave and the X-Men returned to Earth where Phoenix completed the college career that the real Jean Grey never could, taking a degree in education. Soon after, Phoenix and Cyclops had a child, whom they named Rachel, and Phoenix became a teacher of the young New Mutants, teaching them never to think their powers placed them above humanity. Months later, when the X-Men and New Mutants were involved in the Secret Wars, Phoenix was once again attacked by Mastermind, who tortured her with illusions until she struck him down, only to discover that he was a host body for the Shadow King of Earth-616. The Shadow King forced Phoenix onto the astral plane where he forced Mastermind to shoot Phoenix's body dead and then announced to Phoenix's astral form his plan to make Rachel, heir to the Phoenix Force, his next host body. With the Jean Grey form dead, the Phoenix Force revived it and restored her powers to the Jean Grey form. Realizing that her life as Jean was a lie, the Phoenix traveled to Jamaica Bay where she destroyed the real Jean Grey.

 (What If? II#33) - Determined the find the Shadow King, Phoenix traveled to Muir Island where she was attacked by her daughter Rachel, aged by the Shadow King to an adult form. Phoenix then forced the Shadow King onto the astral plane where she drove him from her reality, leaving the adult Rachel with her nine-month-old mind. She then rebuilt Rachel atom-by-atom, transforming back to her original form and returned to the X-Mansion where the X-Men and New Mutants were surprised to see her alive and well.

Eight years later in 1988, after the X-Men had fought many new foes and gained new allies, an anti-mutant candidate, David Russell, was elected president. With Russell as President, the Mutant Registration Act was passed in 1990 with the Avengers and Fantastic Four falling in line with the government. The X-Men soon became outlaws and one night, as Phoenix wandered to herself how could end all of it right now, Wolverine walked past Rachel's room and found her having a nightmare about the Phoenix Force. While Wolverine spoke with Rachel, the Phoenix decided to pay a visit to President Russell, forcing him telepathically to change his views on mutants. The next day, after changing his views publicly, President Russell was assassinated by members of the militant anti-mutant group the Right. In response, the new acting President phoned Henry Peter Gyrich and had him develop new Mark V Sentinels in an effort to preserve the United States against the growing mutant threat. Upon activation, the Mark V Sentinels quickly took control of America to better "protect" it and began to eliminate any opposition, starting with registered superhumans, including the Avengers and Fantastic Four. Soon, the remaining unregistered superhumans, friend and foe alike, congregated to the X-Mansion for sanctuary where Wolverine finally confronted Phoenix, explaining that he had discovered she had regained her Phoenix Force abilities. When the Phoenix wouldn't admit that she had, Wolverine tried to smack some sense into her, causing her to revert to her Dark Phoenix persona and erase Wolverine's knowledge of their encounter. She then left the room to discover that Cyclops, Rachel, and Professor X had heard the commotion. Feeling ashamed, she left the X-Men and went to New Mexico to contemplate her life while the X-Men discussed their upcoming assault on the Sentinels' headquarters. In the middle of their meeting, Magneto surprisingly arrived and announced that he was there to help. The X-Men and Magneto soon infiltrated the Sentinel HQ, only to have Magneto get shot through the spine. When all seemed lost, the Phoenix arrived and destroyed the headquarters, prompting numerous Sentinels to attack her. With so many Sentinels present to attack Phoenix, Nightcrawler teleported the entire X-Men team to Phoenix's location in an effort to help destroy the Sentinels. The act of teleporting so many people at once caused Nightcrawler to have a heart attack and die, inspiring Shadowcat to end things once and for all. She grabbed Colossus and phased them both into the room housing the Master Mold. She then had Colossus hurl her into the Master Mold itself, where she became solid, frying the Master Mold from the inside. With the Master Mold destroyed, Phoenix destroyed the remaining Sentinels and the surviving X-Men returned to base where Phoenix admitted to Cyclops that she was not the real Jean Grey. Destiny soon arrived and explained that she had seen visions that Phoenix would want to speak with her. Phoenix then asked what Destiny saw in her future and Destiny replied that in every possible future that she could see, Phoenix would eventually lose control once again and death would be caused by it. Realizing that Destiny was right, Phoenix returned to the cosmos and her true form, leaving her husband and child forever.

Comments: Created by Chris Claremont, George Caragonne, Rod Ramos, and Jan Anton Harps.

The divergent point for this reality occurred during the events seen in X-Men I#137 (September, 1980).

There were numerous miscolorings going on in the course of these two issues, some of the major ones being a scene where Phoenix's entire costume was white and the Jim Lee-era Cyclops costume having red pouch-things going across his chest, rather than yellow. The New Mutants' uniforms also had a blue chest strips as opposed to yellow. I suppose you can decide whether these were just the alternate-reality designs of the outfits or miscolorings on behalf of the colorist.

The Thor seen in the story seemed to be the Eric Masterson Thor, who was the Thor around the time this story was published. I suppose it could have easily been just regular Thor with a beard. His name was never revealed. I personally think it's Eric Masterson.

The fallen heroes' gravestones that we see in #33 included gravestones marked with the identities of Archangel, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Firestar, Sub-Mariner, Daredevil, Hulk, and Darkhawk. Aside from Archangel and Namor, it was unknown if the others were actual superheroes in this reality, though it was likely they used the same costumed identities that they used on Earth-616.

When he was away with the X-Men in the Secret Wars, Phoenix was attacked by the Shadow King of Earth-616 and re-powered, but Phoenix spent eight years lying about her powers to Cyclops and the other X-Men. When the Mutant Registration Act was instated, Cyclops and the other X-Men launched a counterattack against the Sentinels which resulted in victory at the cost of a few lives. When Phoenix learned the truth of her future, she decided to reveal her false identity to Cyclops and he explained that even if she was not the real Jean, she was still the woman he married and the mother of his child.

--What If? II#33 (#33d,


Destiny

Destiny was similar to her Earth-616 counterpart up until the government passed the Mutant Registration Act. With anyone refusing to register becoming outlaws, Destiny and many other mutants took refuge at the Xavier Mansion. She helped the X-Men care for other mutants and following the destruction of the Master Mold and Sentinels, she was asked by Phoenix what lie in Phoenix's future. Destiny explained that in every possible future that she could see, Phoenix would eventually lose control and harm the ones she loved. In an effort to halt that, Phoenix returned to the stars, leaving her human form behind.

Destiny had the same precognitive powers that her Earth-616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#33






Doctor Doom

Doctor Doom was basically the same as his Earth-616, the only exception being that shortly after the X-Men returned from battling the Shi'ar, they faced Doom without Cyclops being present. When the Mutant Registration Act passed and Sentinels began eliminating anyone who threatened their takeover, Doom sided with the Fantastic Four but was quickly eliminated along with them.

Doom presumably had the same sorcery abilities that his 616 counterpart had.

When Phoenix's powers were restored, Phoenix realized that while she was not the real Jean, she did not want others to discover the truth. In order to better continue being Jean, Phoenix flew down to Jamaica Bay and destroyed the real Jean Grey, all the while Jean's memories torturing her.

Jean had the same telekinesis and telepathy abilities that her Earth-616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#32 (fb) (#32d,








Henry Peter Gyrich

Henry Gyrich was pretty much the same as his Earth-616 counterpart up until President Russell was assassinated by members of the Right. The new acting President soon phoned Gyrich, announcing that he planned to preserve the Union. Gyrich replied that he was prepared to deal with the mutant menace permenantly as he looked over the creation of the Mark V Sentinels.

--What If? II#33









Lilandra

Lilandra, like her Earth-616 counterpart, was Empress of the Shi'ar Empire. When Phoenix destroyed an entire star system, Lilandra ordered that Phoenix be dealt with by the Shi'ar, but Xavier demanded a trial by combat with his X-Men against the Shi'ar's Imperial Guard. Following the X-Men's defeat, Lilandra ordered a psychic lobotomy for Phoenix, which removed her powers, effectively ending her threat. She then allowed the X-Men and Phoenix to return home to Earth.

Lilandra presumably had the same telepathic abilities that her Earth-616 counterpart.

--What If? II#32 (fb)







Master Mold

The Master Mold was in charge of the Sentinels' programming and creation. Almost immediately after its creation, the Master Mold took over and determined that the best way to protect humanity was destroy any opposition, including most of the world's superheroes. When the X-Men staged a counterattack against the Sentinels, Shadowcat had Colossus hurl her into the open mouth of the Master Mold, where she solidified, killing herself to destroy the Master Mold and the creation of more Sentinels.

--What If? II#33


Magneto

Magneto was the same as his Earth-616 counterpart up until the X-Men returned to Earth following the Phoenix's de-powering. When Cyclops and Phoenix left the X-Men, Magneto confronted them at their home and forced Phoenix to accompany back to Asteroid M. While there, Magneto offered to restore Phoenix's lost powers, but she turned away from the Phoenix Force, destroying the machine that would have restored her. Angry, Magneto attacked her until Phoenix made him realize that he was the reason humans feared mutants. He menaced the X-Men one more time in the eight years that passed after Phoenix was re-powered. Much later, after the U. S. government instated the Mutant Registration Act, Magneto turned up to aid the X-Men in their counterattack against the Sentinels that had taken over. During the attack, Magneto was shot through the spine and paralyzed from the waist down, forcing him into a wheelchair.

Magneto had the same magnetic abilities that his Earth-616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#32 (#33,


Mastermind

Jason Wyngarde, like his 616 counterpart, was a member of the Hellfire Club who manipulated Phoenix into becoming their Black Queen. When Phoenix turned on them, she forced Mastermind to briefly become one with the universe, leaving him catatonic. In his catatonic state, he became a host body for the Shadow King of Earth-616 and recovered, his desire for revenge bringing the Shadow King to him. Using Mastermind, the Shadow King forced Jason to attack a de-powered Phoenix and shoot her dead, only to have the Phoenix Force restore her. When Phoenix forced the Shadow King out of her dimension, Mastermind was once again left catatonic.

Mastermind had the ability to generate illusions, like his Earth-616 counterpart.

--What If? II#32 (fb) (#32, 33,


New Mutants

The New Mutants were a group of young mutants brought into the X-Mansion by Charles Xavier. Early in their education, they were taught by Phoenix, who had taken up a teaching role at the school.

They were (clockwise from bottom left): Wolfsbane, Professor X (teacher), Karma, Cannonball, Sunspot, Phoenix (teacher), and Mirage. (not pictured): Warlock and Magma.

--What If? II#32 (#33,




Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler was essentially the same as his Earth-616 counterpart up until Cyclops and Phoenix left the X-Men. Nightcrawler remained and battled numerous villains alongside the X-Men until the Mutant Registration Act was instated. When the X-Men launched a counterattack against the Sentinels, Nightcrawler teleported the entire team into the Sentinel base, but the strain of teleporting so many people at once caused him to have a heart attack and die.

Nightcrawler had the same teleportation power that his 616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#32 (fb) (#32, 33d







Omega Red

Omega Red was basically the same as his Earth-616 counterpart. He was one of the villains the X-Men battled in the eight years following the Phoenix's re-powering.

He presumably had the death-causing pheromones and carbonadium tendrils that his Earth-616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#33








Phoenix

Like her Earth-616 counterpart, Phoenix copied the form of the dying Jean Grey and took her place in the X-Men. Soon after saving the Earth from the effects of the M'Kraan Crystal, Phoenix was manipulated by Mastermind into becoming the Black Queen of the Hellfire Club. Striking back, she became Dark Phoenix and destroyed an entire star system, gaining the enmity of the Shi'ar Empire. When the X-Men lost in a trial by combat against the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, Phoenix was given a psychic lobotomy that kept her from accessing her powers. Returning to Earth, she and Cyclops left the X-Men in favor of living a normal life as newlyweds until Magneto captured her and offered to restore her powers. She declined and destroyed his equipment and upon returning to Earth, had a daughter whom she named Rachel and took up becoming a teacher to the New Mutants. When the X-Men and New Mutants were away in the Secret Wars, Phoenix was attacked by Mastermind and the Shadow King of Earth-616, who took over Rachel's body and killed Phoenix's Jean Grey form. The Phoenix Force restored her, however, and she drove the Shadow King from her reality, restored Rachel to normal, and destroyed the real Jean Grey. She then returned to the X-Men and lied about having her powers restored for years, allowing mutant-human relations to continue to decline. She finally grew tired of the President's anti-mutant ideas and flew to the White House, where she telepathically forced him to change his views. The next day, the President was assassinated and the Mutant Registration Act was instated. Wolverine eventually confronted Phoenix and revealed that he had discovered that her powers had been restored. She telepathically forced him to forget, but Cyclops and Xavier had overheard the confrontation and unable to alter her husband's mind, she left the team once again. Deciding what she had to do, she returned in time to help destroy the Sentinels for good. After the battle, she spoke with Destiny and asked what her future held. Destiny explained that in every future she could see, Phoenix would eventually lose control and hurt the ones she loved. In order to keep that from happening, Phoenix returned to space and left her Jean Grey form behind forever.

Phoenix possessed almost limitless telepathic and telekinetic abilities on a godlike level.

His sudden like of mutants saw him assassinated by members of the Right. Following his death, the Mutant Registration Act was instated.

--What If? II#33 (#33d,

He presumably had the same hypnotic and power-draining abilities that his Earth-616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#32






Sentinels

The Sentinels were basically the same as their Earth-616 counterparts. They were recreated by order of the acting President to help enforce the Mutant Registration Act but quickly turned against the government, destroying anything they saw as a threat to their control. After destroying the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and numerous other heroes, the X-Men launched a counterattack which resulted in many casualties. The battle was ultimately won when Shadowcat sacrificed herself to destroy the Master Mold and Phoenix destroyed the remaining Sentinels.

As giant robots, the Mark V Sentinels had superhuman strength, size, durability, the ability to project blasts of energy from their hands, and fly via boot jets.

--What If? II#33 (#33d,


Shadowcat

Kitty Pryde was very similar to her Earth-616 counterpart. She was a member of the X-Men for many years up until the Mutant Registration Act passed and the X-Men launched a counterattack against the Sentinels.

Upon being freed from his influence, Phoenix restored Rachel to her proper age and Rachel lived as normal a life as a mutant could for eight years while her telekinetic powers manifested. When Phoenix learned of her future as a destructor, she left Rachel behind with Cyclops as she left Earth for good.

Rachel had telekinesis.

--What If? II#32 (#33,





Warpath, Domino, and Iceman

Warpath, Domino, and Iceman were much like their Earth-616 counterparts. When the Mutant Registration Act was passed, they helped the X-Men battle the Sentinels while Phoenix was gone from the team. None of them fared well, suffering injuries during the battle.

Warpath presumably had superhuman strength, agility, and durability that his 616 counterpart had. Domino presumably had the luck abilities of her Earth-616 counterpart. Iceman had the ice generating powers that his 616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#33




Wendigo

Wendigo was the same as his Earth-616 counterpart. During the time that Cyclops and Phoenix had left the X-Men, the X-Men battled him.

He presumably had the same superhuman strength, durability, claws, and teeth that his Earth-616 counterparts have had.

--What If? II#32









White Queen

The White Queen was the same as her Earth-616 counterpart. During the eight years following the Phoenix's re-powering, the X-Men had a battle against her.

She presumably had the same telepathic abilities that her Earth-616 counterpart had.

--What If? II#33








The X-Men

The X-Men, like their Earth-616 counterparts, were a band of mutants together for human/mutant co-existence. Following Phoenix and Cyclop's leave of the team, the X-Men battled numerous villains and came to the aid of Phoenix when Cyclops informed them that she had been captured by Magneto. Upon returning to Earth, they participated in the Secret Wars and were shocked to find Phoenix alive after she turned up missing upon their return. Eight years following, the X-Men battled many more villains while anti-mutant hysteria hit an all-time high. Once the government instated the Mutant Registration Act, the X-Men struck back against the Sentinels, destroying the Master Mold and the remaining Sentinels.

They were: (from left to right): Professor X, Storm, Rogue, Wolverine, Havok, Archangel, Nightcrawler, Lockheed, Dazzler, Shadowcat, Colossus, Beast, and Cyclops. (Phoenix and Rachel Summers were not members of the team, but they lived in the Mansion and Phoenix was a teacher there.)
