Phoenix force is the summon total of all the life force of the Universe. Every single living being alive or dead is part of her power from single celled life to Celestials. All are part of her power. The drawback is the power she uses is extracted from that life force so the limit to her power is how many dead babies she wants to throw at you.
well thats dumb.
Agreed, it was much better when it was just Jean Grey evolving into the highest/purest form she could become. The X-Men were at the height of their popularity and they wanted to bring the original X-Men back for X-Force so they decided to use Kurt Busiek's idea of the Phoenix Force. I will never forgive Busiek for ruining The Dark Phoenix Saga, one of the best comic book story arcs in the history of comics.
It was mine too, I still own all of them too. The X-Men remained pretty good under Claremont for a long while after Byrne left though, although his run was the high point.
Same and it's what made the Uncanny X-Men so popular in the 80's and then 90's. By the way, Claremont/Byrne were co-plotters during their era as well as Byrne being the penciler. Many people don't realize that Byrne actually helped plot and lay out that era as well.
Was there ever any intention for the Hell's Kitchen heroes to pop into the MCU? It's clearly the same Universe, but the whole point of the series (aside from more nifty stories) appears to be to tell super hero stories in a small, local scale, which is a direct contrast to the movies all being city, country, or world-spanning arcs.
lol, so then the article goes on to say that no, Fox would almost certainly not involve Marvel with the X-Men but perhaps the F4. Which I guess aren't quite to the point of being irredeemably tainted.
It could still happen though. I'd give my left nut to see Infinity Gauntlet done with all of the characters that were in it originally. And the MU just isn't the same without Dr Doom, Silver Surfer or Galactus in it, let alone all the mutants being missing.
