Title: How many times has Jean Grey died?

I got into a discussion on another board yesterday, about how often Marvel seems to go back to the "Jean dies and comes back" plot. How many times has she actually died and then came back?
And remember that she's probably coming back soon in Astonishing.

I'm not sure. I'll look it up and get back with you.

I think just twice.
1- The original Phoenix death, circa X-men #130 or so. She was dead for about 5 years before her return in "X-Factor", at which point they retconned that Phoenix wasn't really Jean.
2- The recent "Phoenix: End Song" thing.
Haven't followed X-men closely since about 1998, so she may have died once or twice around there.

Morrison killed her off during the end of his run a couple of years ago.

ES, you realize that even with "Just twice" she still has a better Death-To-Resurection ratio than Jesus?
Thanks for the info though, guys.
