    Phoenix Force

    Character » Phoenix Force appears in 1616 issues.

    A powerful cosmic entity, an immortal being representing the Life-Death-Rebirth cycle, all current and future life, and is the nexus of all psychic energy ever to have existed, to exist or will exist. It has, at times, chosen a host to live within, granting the vessel nigh-omnipotent power. It has the power to create or destroy anything, or everything. The Phoenix has had various hosts, but the most well known and frequent host is the mortal mutant Jean Grey.

    Guess you don't have to be an Omega level mutant after all.

    WTF! years and years of them saying only an omega mutant could take the Phoenix force or it would burn them out, just to then turn a round and give it to Cyclops, who is not an omega.

    i am sooo sick and tired of writers ignoring continuity. its not that fcking hard people! the problem has been escalating in recent years and now its like they have just given up.

    for me it takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it when they contradict each other so much

    Yes, because clearly we should be looking to AvX when looking for storytelling that actually makes sense.

    You don't have to be a mutant at all.

    Feron, Necrom, Rook'Shir, Fongji, Amber Hunt and Phoenix IX are all non-mutants. There's probably other which i don't remember atm.

    @fesak: There was also that Wolverine/Cloud Shiar Hybrid guy that fell in love with Rachel Grey.

    We don't actually know yet if Cyclops will be able to handle the Phoenix on its own. One of my theories for the AvX 12 is he is going to burn up from being the lone host of the Phoenix and destroy loads in the process.

    Perhaps he is an omega >:} no but for real makes a good point, even though it's out now I have yet to read #12 and I can see cyke burning out the power considering he ends up losing the fight.
