Weâre diving into Joss Whedon and John Cassadayâs acclaimed Astonishing X-Men run â a fan-favorite relaunch that redefined Marvelâs mutants for a new era. But today weâre asking: what if the Phoenix rose again in place of Colossus?
We begin with the modern classic Astonishing X-Men: Gifted (2004), following Cyclops, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Wolverine, and Beast as they rebuild the team amid a âcureâ for mutation. Then we explore Jim McCann and Ibraim Robersonâs What If? Astonishing X-Men #1 (2010), where Ordâs experiment revives Jean Grey instead â igniting chaos, temptation, and tragedy across the X-Men.
Along the way, we discuss Whedonâs impact on the franchise, Emma and Jeanâs ever-evolving rivalry, and how this alternate resurrection might have reshaped mutantkind â from Avengers vs. X-Men to the Krakoan age. Finally, we ponder future X-Men adaptations and whether Jeanâs return is always inevitable.
