The Pheonix is gone for good and good riddance, it was a stupid idea that got made worse with each use after words

Yeah a concept that has fascinated the world for thousands of years is stupid. Come on its a foundation of myth! Read a book!

[Phoenix Egg]

It's really not that complicated. Jean and the Phoenix Force are distinct persons but of the same substance. The only true debate is whether the Phoenix Force also proceeds from her eternally begotten daughter Rachel, or merely from Jean herself.

In my head, I've got this really circular, time-travely, Phoenix/chicken-or-the-egg? thing that I think fits in with the stories that have come before and is plausible and silly enough at the same time to make for a good comic book concept.

Rachel and the Phoenix are attuned due to Rachel's heritage. It's her mommy's spirit, so it comes naturally to her.

I'm half-expecting Jean's presence to cause the rebirth of the Phoenix. It would only be right for it to return to its true owner.

Think I'm gonna become an X-Men writer, explicitly reveal that the Phoenix is a piece of Jean's mind and then retire.

Teen!Jean's presence is going to make the Phoenix seek out Feron?

[Deus ex Chris]

Only in your piss-laden dreams, Jare-Bear.

As myth, it's great. As a reoccuring concept in a superhero comic, all it does is render one speciifc character all-powerful, evil or dead repeatedly. And it's far too powerful to be used as anything but a threat in said superhero concept. If it's not entirely stupid, then what the concept needs is one heck of a revamp.

Hardly. Feron can eat a dick.

So... I take it you don't like the Spectre or Parrallax then?

[MartinRedmond]

It pretty much describes most super heroes.
