And you're somehow under the impression that the phoenix always looks like Jean Grey?
On a more direct note, RR never exits temporal continuity. He creates order, form, intent: he defined the nature of the universe (Time, space, etc.). The creative role of the PF is outside of the structure he created- it is the sorce of what he gave form to.
If I make a sculpture, can I really deny the role of the one who created the clay?
