Thats ridiculous, we can't count every cliffhanging moment of "is she dead" or every character would have died a zillion times. I think the post was asking how many times Jean has actually died and stayed dead for awhile. Which would be two: UXM 137 and New X-Men #148.
Technically she didn't die in x-men Phoenix - endsong, she just went to the white hot room to piece the remaining parts of the phoenix together. Which makes since, since in the last issue of Kingbreaker. The phoenix left rachel and she says: " no.....not now mom!" So I think its a pretty sure bet that jean is coming back, and i think its the baby!! I think she is jean, and she is just hiding it from everyone. But here's a question i have. Okay at the end of "phoenix warsong" the cuckoo's imprisoned a piece of the phoenix in each of their hearts. So if jean does come back does that mean she is going to have to take it from them? Are they going to die? And if they do, Emma if going to want to kill her!
"LOL ten to one she is the mutant messiah My god i hope not"
Yea, she did. Wolverine killed her actually like 3 times in that and she came back two seconds later.

And if they do, Emma if going to want to kill her!"I hope so, Warsong was horrible, if all you have to do is turn to diamond to trap the Phoenix, why didn't Emma do that in Endsong? It's crazy to say they have the Phoenix trapped considering it didn't want to leave in the first place, but Jean doesn't need to kill them to get it, I'm pretty sure she can just will it away from them unless we are being set up to watch a battle between her and Emma which is suicide on Emmas part."

They'll let us think that for a while. Then she'll get hit by a bus or something.

Well, since the Phoenix Force makes Jean pretty much immortal, going to the White Hot Room is her equivalent of 'death'... and then coming back to life sometime later.

Jean died 3 times
1-When the Phoenix put her in that cocoon
2- When wolverine killed her in The New X-men series when astroid M hit the sun
3-When Xorn/Magneto loser killed her
4-In Phoenix Endsong (I'm sorry to say but her going to the White Hot Room counts as a death)
**Note:; Hope Summers is obviously Jean reincarnated but i dont think she will have Jean memories.I think SHE will become a comlpetely total different character and have a new personality. (KEEP IN MIND HOPE IS COMING BACK AT AGE 17 SO SHE'S NOT GONNA DIE NO TIME SOON)**
Uncanny X-men 101
Uncanny X-men 137
Uncanny X-men 281 - she may have gone to Emma's body but Jean actual body "died"
X-men Vol 2 150
Yeah - Jean's only died once really - at the end of New X-Men. The rest have been retconned. And really - does it matter? Her name is Phoenix! I just hope (pun intended) that she is not coming back at the end of Second Coming in any form - or the Phoenix Force for that matter. There are enough phoenix like red head characters running around as there is.
