I'll do my best to fill you in. It's a character from the X-Men. Remember Jean Grey? Well, once upon a time, she was piloting a shuttlecraft back from an orbital space station after the X-Men had beaten up the Sentinels (trust me, this is going somewhere). Unfortunately, the shuttle was due to fly through a solar flare and everyone would be turned into X-briquets. Jean, however, decided to pilot the shuttle, using her Telekinesis to screen out the harmful radiation. It was a long shot, but it was the only shot they had. The rest of the X-Men were sealed safely in the radiation-proof chamber as she carried out what she thought would be her last mission...
The shuttle crashed into the Atlantic ocean, and as the rest of the X-Men struggled to the surface, a woman rose out of the water. "Hear me, X-Men. No longer am I the woman you knew. I am fire and life incarnate. I am--PHOENIX!" And Jean then collapsed into the ocean.
Well, the power of the Phoenix turned out to be pretty cool and almost limitless. And, as people are so fond of saying, absolute power corrupts absolutely. (Well, that and a mutant known as Mastermind who was messing with her head thanks to Emma Frost and the Hellfire Club...) Jean then became Dark Phoenix: the Black Angel, the Chaos Bringer. She had the power to destroy the entire Universe. However, in the end, good triumphed and she destroyed herself to prevent such an occurrence. [Note: this is the original version of the story. Since then, it has been 'retconned' and now we "know" that Phoenix wasn't really Jean, but a clone the Phoenix made from her. The "real" Jean was in a healing cocoon in the bottom of the Atlantic ocean
The Power of the Phoenix
Dark Phoenix (and of course, Phoenix) had extreme telepathic, telekinetic, and pyrokinetic powers. In addition, she also exhibited the following abilites at various times: altering the molecular structure of items, not needing to breathe.
