Sorry, had to use the quote because of its appropriateness. Bonus points if you recognize it; it's not from the three fandoms I'm going to talk about

shezan named Marian in the third season of the newest tv version of Robin Hood, who falls into this Jean Grey territory. But Jean, and Marion, are characters we as readers/audience first get to meet for a long time as living people, which I think makes a big difference. For starters, we don't have to wonder as to what difference memory or fantasy makes - we met them on the same terms as anyone else, so to speak. And once they show up as dead people, we can compare to what we ourselves have seen. For example, I thought Scott's flashback of himself and Jean in the desert after they had sex and before she goes Dark Phoenix, from Torn, was a great way of showing the subjectivity of memory and connect it to the present day, because it's not exactly the same thing that did happen in the original Phoenix saga, close enough, but the difference is that here Scott tries to talk to Jean about what's going on with her Phoenix-dom in time and makes the comparison to his own power control issues.
Oh! And when Tony and Steve remember Tony asking for martial arts lessons in Casualties of War, that flashback looks WAY slashier than the actual event does in the Demon in the Bottle arc! *veg*
Steve himself in the last two years is of course a great example of a dead yet present character whom the readers first knew alive.
