X-Men v1 #135, 1980 - Jean Grey realizes her mutant power's full potential, transforming into the Dark Phoenix. After defeating the X-men, she travels to a far flung galaxy to consume a star, committing planetary genocide in the process.
John Byrne effectively depicts the character as all-powerful and corrupt, almost to the point of madness. Along with his crisply drawn pages, the radiating typography on the opening splash suggests a limitless energy. Interestingly, Byrne pays homage to Neal Adams by borrowing his cover idea from
X-Men #56. This is 27 of 35
X-men issues by
Byrne.
