One of the X-Men going to the dark side is nothing new. Most of the interesting stories in this universe come from that struggle between being good and evil – a problem Magneto faces constantly. In this latest X-Men film, Dark Phoenix, this problem befalls Jean Grey.
This character is not someone to be trifled with; her telepathic ability – when unleashed – may be more powerful than Professor Xavier’s. The film is based on the iconic comic series The Dark Phoenix Saga in which Jean Grey becomes a powerful but corrupted being named Dark Phoenix.
