There was a comic released in 1963 about a team of super-powered misfits who banded together under some smart guy in a
wheelchair to fight against prejudice and the right to just be yourself by DC Comics. The Doom Patrol came out in 1963 (the same

were crippled by the nature of them being heroes. The Chief did rule from his wheelchair, and their whole point was to prove that
even misfits and freaks could be a productive part of society, despite prejudice. -Source FAQS.org

Some people refer Jean Grey as Phoenix IV. Because "Marvel's original Phoenix was actually Baron Zemo II's first costumed identity.
