Phoenix Five



When the Phoenix Force returned to Earth, the cosmic entity had split into five pieces when it encountered a large deposit of Iso-8 near the Moon. These pieces went into five of the X-Men. Though it made these individuals more powerful, the Unstable Iso-8 in the area dampened the effects of the Phoenix Force for an unknown reason.

These five individuals were known as the Phoenix Five. They believed that the Phoenix Force bestowed in them holds the key to survival of their mutantkind. Once they have achieved to control this cosmic entity, they will have one of the most powerful forces in the universe at their command.

The Avengers on the other hand believes that the Phoenix Force destroys planets and annihilates star systems it arrives to, and that they must stop the Phoenix Force from fully manifesting onto the Phoenix Five.
