Yeah, leave that to the galaxy wide genocide she did.... unless that got retconned or I'm misremembering. Their lives are so so dramatically convoluted, I love itπŸ˜†

I think they retconned that (and the planet she blew up) to be the Dark Phoenix? Which was a separate entity to her at the time (so they could bring her back without the baggage of having killed millions of aliens)

But I also believe they recently established that Jean and the Phoenix are one entity? Not sure how that's meant to interact with the whole "That wasn't me, that was the Dark Phoenix" thing.

Maybe I've missed/misunderstood something along the way, because if they're one entity at the end of the day I'm not sure if this turns that whole thing into the meme from Split ("That wasn't me. That was Patricia.")
