The Man of Tomorrow
What is the Phoenix Force?
Apparently its an multiversal entity, that resides within the M’Kraan crystal (nexus of realities).
Within it, is the “White Hot Room” which Phoenix Avatars can enter and do “Phoenix Work”.
Multiversal you say?
Yes the Force is multi-versal, the force manifest itself across countless realities in efforts to find a suitable host. And ultimately perform “Phoenix Work”.
Phoenix Work, what is it?
Well it’s a number of things, intervening potential threat (it could range from planetary to universal), or anything that might stop the progression of evolution. But ultimately it comes down to incite the cycle of death/rebirth of the universe itself.
So each avatar holds the power of a Multiverse?
No, not exactly. Though they become the host of a manifest Multiversal Entity. Their range of authority, control does not exceed its universes level (within its designated reality). You see each PF Avatar authority does not carry, over from ware the Phoenix originally manifested on. However, we have seen instances where it held control over two realities (616 and 15104), Save the universe from destruction (incidentally retconed to Multiverse), and usurp control of other Phoenix Avatars (Recent What If).
Can the Phoenix Force be killed?
Yes and No. Yes you can kill the avatar and apparently the Manifested Force itself, but the Phoenix Force would just resurrected itself (and a good chance the Avatar would resurrect as well, if the Force chooses to). However its my own theory that in order to permanently kill the Manifestation. You would have to kill the Phoenix Force entity that resides in the White Hot Room. A hard task, because the White Hot Room exists outside the Multiverse. And attempting to breach in, would mean engaging the M’Kraan Crystal Guardians, Nightmare Field, and the countless Avatars residing in the room of creation.
So ware would she be in a match?
That’s a tricky question. One minute a planetary stroke subdues her by the hands of Xorn, next minute the Phoenix is seen wiping out Solar System with Cosmic Level beings. The Phoenix Rage or confrontation could escalate to universal destruction.
Her power finite or limitless?
Good question, it seems that outside the White Hot Room. The Phoenix has a finite amount (limit) of power/energy. This is why we have several instances of her draining energy from viable sources. However it is later stated, and confirmed that if she wishes. She could tap energy from future generations and deny them existence (Galactus - Excalibur volume 1 issue #61).
