Jean Grey. Rachel Summers. Hope Summers. And Moon Knight: these are just some of the characters who have bonded with the Phoenix Force, the fiery cosmic personification of life and death, at Marvel Comics over the years. Jason Aaron and Javier Garron’s “Avengers” arc ‘Enter the Phoenix’ has seen the firebird imbue various Avengers with its powers to fight among themselves, and determine its next host. The tournament concludes in next week’s issue #44, so we wanted to know: who do you think will become the new Phoenix?
Will it be one of the most popular Avengers, or the mysterious new Red Widow? Will Jennifer Walters become a new version of the Hulk, or will Shanna the She-Devil share her powers with her saber-toothed cat Zabu? Or will it be none of the six characters who were left duking it out last month?
So before we find out the “real” winner on Wednesday, take a look at the final competitors below, vote, and check back on Monday for the final prediction!
