I. M. Atlasarrestmeplease, I've always wondered this. If the O5 X-Men...

I've always wondered this. If the O5 X-Men disbanded in Uncanny X-Men 94, and Jean was replaced by the Phoenix in Uncanny X-Men 100/101. And only back to herself with the memories of the Phoenix as if she was an onlooker rather then lived the experience how come she treated Storm and Wolverine as best friends? She would have barely had the time to get to know either one in that time. Even with the retcon back issues.

The magic of comics!
(Also, Wolverine loves the Phoenix, not Jean–he just gets confused.)

Phoenix’s memories (including Jean’s memories which she had absorbed on the shuttle) were shunted into the mind of Madeline Pryor at the moment she killed herself in X-Men #137.

When Maddie finally realized she was a clone of Jean created by Mr. Sinister, she regained access to those memories, whereas before she had been a sleeper agent with a very vague knowledge of her own past.

This all came to a head in the Inferno Crossover, where Pryor threw in with the demons of Limbo to become the Goblin Queen and take revenge on the X-Men for inspiring her meaningless existence. Jean Grey defeated her, and incorporated her memories into her own mind. Consequently, Jean now remembers everything Phoenix and Maddie experienced between X-Men #100 and #242 or so.
