This led to he becoming sullen and withdrawn. She was recruited by a black ops team led by the Sentinels which disbanded after a disastrous mission. By this point, she'd grown into a conifent, optimistic woman who founded a new team of mutants. She led this team, but was once again betrayed by someone she cared about, Nathaniel Essex. This leads her to develop a split personality named Madelyn Pryor. When the Phoenix was brought to Earth through the machinations of Essex, it tried to takeover her and Jean resisted.
