Inferno
Jean Grey's clone, Madelyne Pryor, was taken in by the demons S'ym and N'astirh. They planned for a demonic invasion of Earth, beginning with Manhattan. Illyana Rasputin of the New Mutants began to mutate into a demon and N’Astirh tricked her into opening a gateway. The city of Manhattan fell under siege, and the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Power Pack, and Spider-Man had to fight many numerous demons, most importantly Hobgoblin, now possessed by a demon that did not disappear with the others when the crisis was over, and the mutant-hating Boogeyman, transformed into a monster by N'Astirh. Even objects became demonically tainted and people's souls became twisted. Havok, Dazzler, Wolverine, Longshot, Archangel, and Storm all fell to the darkness to some extent. Multiple civilians weren't so lucky; they were simply killed and/or devoured.
The New Mutants finally convinced Illyana to give up her powers and seal the gate. This got rid of most of the demons, but Madelyne Pryor and her servants remained (and many objects still remained dangerous). Jean Grey used the Phoenix Force to finally defeat her far more powerful clone. Weary, Madelyne let herself die and New York returned to "normal". The X-Men then went after Madelyne's creator Mister Sinister who was responsible for the manipulations which led to Madelyne's breakdown; which was also brought upon by her husband Cyclops when he left her and their child when his first love, Jean returned. Cyclops blasted Sinister to bits, though this did not kill him and he returned later, as did Madelyne Pryor years later.
Many survivors of Inferno were somehow convinced it was all a shared mass hallucination, despite property damage and deaths.
