Dark PhoenixTop 10 + 1 Quotes by Jean Grey

Jean is good at getting the last word in so it is easy to find quality quotes from her. But, it was hard limiting this to only the Top 10 quotes, which meant using most quotes from the Dark Phoenix Saga, since there were so many great ones. I just couldn’t limit it to only 10 so I added one for good measure. Would you add any additional quotes? Feel free to add a comment with new quote.

  1. “I am fire and life incarnate! Now and forever — I am Phoenix!”
    Phoenix, Uncanny X-men #101
  2. “If even one more person died at my hands…It’s better this way. Quick. Clean. Final. I love you, Scott. A part of me will always be with you.”
    Dark Phoenix, Uncanny X-men #137 Her final words other than “Scott!”.
  3. “I am what was, what is, what will be — the black angel, Chaos-Bringer!I AM POWER!”
    Dark Phoenix, Uncanny X-men #136
  4. “Finish me with your claws. I beg you. I don’t want to HURT YOU!!”
    Dark Phoenix, Uncanny X-men #136
  5. “I…hunger, Scott — for a joy, a rapture. Beyond all comprehension. That need is a part of me, too.”
    Dark Phoenix, Uncanny X-men #136

    Top Ten X-men Villains

    Thanks to Marvel for providing the basis for this list. For a full reading, please visit their page on this subject: X-men villains. Marvel classified Dark Phoenix as #4, but I moved her up to #2. I couldn’t delude myself into thinking she was their ultimate villain, I think everyone would agree that has been and always will be Magneto. But for pure power, emotion and the effect she had on the X-men I think Dark Phoenix deserves #2 status, no offense Marvel. I found a similar list of the top ten comic book villains at TopTenz.net


    10. ONSLAUGHT
    First Appearance: X-MEN v2 #53 (1996)
    The very concept of this character hinges on the enduring, enthralling and never boring relationship between Charles Xavier and Magneto. Onslaught is big, ambitious and the kind of threat worthy of an event.


    9. STRYFE
    First Appearance: NEW MUTANTS v1 #87 (1990)
    What makes Stryfe such a great foe for the X-Men isn’t his cool powers or rad costume, it’s his very personal connection to several of their key members and the fact that so much of his hatred towards them feels quite justified.

    8. THE SHADOW KING
    First Appearance: X-MEN v1 #117 (1979)
    The very first mutant menace Charles Xavier ever encountered—the Shadow King—was, as Professor X has said more than once, in many ways the reason the X-Men were formed.
