I need help - major help - with the X-Men comic series plotline?

Okay. I've been an X-Men fan - not a hardcore one - since I was a little kid. I started with the animated series. But that's the thing my knowledge of X-Men is restricted just to the TV Series and the films and the Wiki pages that I've surfed through to make sense of the actual comic series plot line, which was very futile, might I add.

But recently my obsession, has increased, and since I can't actually read decades worth of comic books. And jumping from one wiki page to another is doing not much plus than giving me brain freeze, I appeal to the hard core fans of the famous Marvel Series to please help.

I want someone to explain to me - in limited detail - the entire plot line of the X-Men comic verse. ou link me to some page which does so. Marking all the major events, story arc, deaths, and when they take place, reincarnations, births, etc.Of all the characters, particularly focusing on Professor X, Mystique, Magneto and Jean Grey. Oh, and Rachel Summers too.

Particularly, Jean's death and return. Professor X's final death, and many supposed deaths ou whatever.

Rachel Summers.

Hope Summers.

All of this from the chronological start, which I assume must be from the events of X-Men: First Class. If so, which arc in the comic plot line is that .And if not, which arc is the chronological beginning?

So, yes, from the chronological start to whichever point the comic book is at now.

I know it's a long shot, anyone being able to help, but please, there ought to be some hard core fans who know the story line par cœur, coeur and can summarize and post it here. ou link to some page which can help.

I'll be eternally grateful to anyone who can help.

Please and thank you.

Umm...I know you're not going to like to hear this, but the way that I learned all of the information I learned was pretty much from piecing together bits and pieces from the wikis combined with the few comics I've been able to get my hands on, which isn't many. I believe the best way to learn is to pick one character and study them all to hell and branch out from there.

For instance, I started with Jean Grey. Obviously, that branched out into Cyclops, Wolverine, Phoenix sagas, etc. I understand that everyone's learning capacities are different, but that was the best way for me to learn. Beware, it's time consuming. ;)

The best website I've found to throw at people which will give a condensed version of the characters and their stories to give them a basic understanding and allowing them to explore on their own is uncannyxmen.net . From there, if there's something that would interest me, I would look it up on comicvine.com ou marvel.wikia.com .

Major characters to start exploring with which I would suggest would be Jean Grey, Cyclops, Professor X, and Magneto. Those four pretty much encompass every major plotline and character in the comics.

However, I will still try to help you. :)

This site explains all of Jean's deaths and resurrections : link

Professor X's final death has occurred very recently in an event called Avengers vs. X-men. I don't mean to spoil it for you, but since toi asked, here's the gist of it. The Phoenix Force is coming back, the Avengers decide they want to kill it, X-men want to save it (particularly Cyclops), after a battle between the Avengers and the X-men the Phoenix splits into five parts and enters five X-men (Colossus, Magik, Emma Frost, Namor, Cyclops), Emma and Cyclops end up taking the pieces of the Phoenix from the other three, Cyclops and Emma fight for it, Cyclops wins, he becomes Dark Phoenix, and he kills Charles. Did toi understand that? Please tell me if toi don't, ou toi can look it up yourself and read on it.

Rachel Summers. Oh, where to begin. Um, she came to the mainstream comic universe from an alternate Apocalyptic universe where the X-men have been essentially destroyed and she has been enslaved. After escaping that par coming to the mainstream universe with the help of other friends, she comes to make sure that universe will never happen again. She succeeds and a bunch of other storylines happen.

Hope Summers. She's so complicated, I would just suggest looking her up on different websites and lire so toi can understand her.

The X-men: First Class comics are pretty much a bunch of extended stories from the original X-men team and are not even close to being the original starting point. I would suggest lire this article all the way through to get a basic understanding of it all.

Firstly, thank toi for the response. ^.^ I am very grateful. Moving on from that, don't worry, I expected, that. It's what, like plus than 60 years of plot lines, it isn't really possible for anyone to explain it all. Hmm. I get the Rachel Summers part now, pretty much - thanks for that, And yess, I actually got the Professor X part. I had a rough idea about Cyclop

Cyclop's part, but now I get the whole thing. :P thanks. The sites are pretty helpful too. :) and yeah. I guess that's what I'm gonna do too. Take it one character at a time, and try to solve the whole web of the plot line. :P thank toi so much for all your help. Once again, I am very grateful. :)
