I feel you LU,but honestly, the only thing that counts for me, is what's drawn, and a bio reference will ONLY be considered IF, it co-incides with the on panel evidence.
basically, if it didn't happen on panel, then it didn't happen.
but that's me, and by no means am I trying to force that style on anyone.
That's fine. On panel evidense is always more extensive and clear than a mere bio, but when a bio is written by a comic book writer, you can't claim it invalid.
However, since bios usually contradict the story archs, and even other bios, I can see how they are not entirely reliable.

This is a good example,this never happened on panel, so imo, it's inconsequential.
Which is why I dropped it.

I agree, there's contradictions, I wouldn't say ALL the time though.Phoenix, since BEFORE DP came into the picture has never been too impressive.
In fact, on her own, the greatest feat ever performed by the Phoenix was eating a Sun.
True. But you also forgot interstellar travel within seconds (rivalling Silver Surfer's capabilities), and being perfectly fine after having a star explode right in her face.

I agree,well taking out Nate Grey was pretty badass too.
No Doubt, No Doubt

Actually without PIS, a Franklin Richards amped Onsalught oughta be able to create pocket Universes.
Without PIS, Pheonix would have not been able to destroy herself with a Shair gun, considering that a super nova did nothing to her before.

What do you think would happen to Phoenix if a pocket Universe imploded on top of her?
The same that would happen if a Sun exploded on Onslaught.....they'd both probably be toast.

It would destroy his armor, releasing his Energy Form which is even more powerful still.And btw, it was Namor, Hulk and Doom together that opened his armor.
And another thing, that same trick they pulled wouldn't work in a Phoenix ALONE versus Onslaught battle, who's going to enter his Energy Form to make him tangible?
Phoenix is on her own in this one.
Pheonix can probably sacrafice an avatar if necessary, but I doubt she would have to use that method. Dark Pheonix is way more powerful than anyone who fought Onslaught one on one.
I know Nate Grey is bad ass, but what has he done that compares him to Dark Pheonix ?
Originally posted by Mr Master
Nah,no PIS needed to be yelled, because Phoenix has no help, so no one can enter his Energy Form, (that's what made it PIS in the arc)
She doesn't need help. If you want a battle with NO PIS, then the lack of PIS has to be done on both sides.
If you want to discount the cheesy way they beat Onslaught (which logically shouldn't have worked), then you also have to discount Dark Pheonix being obliterated by a Shiar Weapon, or Pheonix Force being impaled with a laser beam.

Woh there friend,with all due respect I never said it didn't happen, I said it was PIS.
And like I said already, that PIS can not be repeated if Phoenix is fighting him alone.
Didn't mean to come off as disrespectful, but like I said the lack of PIS must be done on both accounts.

How so?Phoenix can't create life on the spot to enter Onslaught's form, she's gonna have to fight for the win.
And when considering Onslaught's cleverness and intelligence mixed with his power, it will be nasty for both parties.
I agree with this completely. Onslaught is intelligent and cunning , while Dark Pheonix is arrogant and impulsive.

Well, this is where it gets foggy,Because Phoenix has never created anything even close to a planetary scale on panel.
True, but I honestly think she was too powerful to use against the X-Men as a villian, since realistically no one had a chance at defeating her at the time the story was written.
They had to limit her to make the reality of the X-Men's survival more believable (having Jean Grey switch conciousness back and forth was a decent touch)
I think after having her eat a star and make it super nova, they couldn't keep having her do rediculous feats, because then her defeat would have been more unbeleivable than Onslaught's.

Bottom line:I would say Phoenix takes a normal Onsalught with a fight (Xavier and Magneto)
Phoenix loses horribly to an amped up Onslaught (Nate and Franklin or just Franklin alone)
I'll leave it at this, since I am rather ignorant of Franklyn Richards and Nate Grey alone, however, considering Onslaught had consumed thier forms, he should have been a lot more powerful than his series displayed.
