Characters
Jean Grey became Phoenix in The X-Men #101, cover-dated October 1976, by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum, rising from Jamaica Bay after piloting a shuttle through a solar flare. Jean herself first appeared as Marvel Girl in X-Men #1 (September 1963); #101 is the first appearance of the Phoenix identity and costume. The Dark Phoenix Saga followed in X-Men #129–137 (1980).

Characters
Kitty Pryde first appeared in The X-Men #129, cover-dated January 1980, by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, as a thirteen-year-old from Deerfield, Illinois recruited by Professor X. The same issue introduced Emma Frost (the White Queen) and Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club and began the Dark Phoenix Saga, which makes it one of the most important issues of the Claremont–Byrne run.
