History
The Hellfire Club was formed by Sebastian Shaw, who broke off from the Church of Shi'ar Enlightenment, seeing the Phoenix Force as a power of destruction.
The Hellfire Club kept an eye on Jean Grey, a member of the X-Men, who they believed the Phoenix was reborn into. They secretly funded Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters to watch over the young mutant until the Phoenix awoke in her. But she went mad, stole their bank codes and erased their minds.
However, it was not the end of the Club, for Majestrix Lilandra Nermani's assistant, Gerald Lavine, was revealed to be a member of the new Hellfire Club and confirmed that Jean is infact the reincarnation of the Phoenix.See Also
