In a thrilling development, Marvel is moving Ms. Marvel towards the X-Men universe, and she finds herself in the midst of one of the darkest days in X-Men history. The first issue of Giant-Size Dark Phoenix Saga, as it’s titled, follows Ms. Marvel pursuing Legion into a time when the Dark Phoenix was at its peak power. This current storyline promises to be quite spectacular. Legendary for his immense powers within the Marvel Universe, this new incarnation of Legion is one of the most intriguing versions yet. With David Haller absent in the White Hot Room of the Phoenix, this new Legion is manipulated by the chaotic multitude of personalities that have always made Legion such a dangerous force. Introducing this character into the era of “The Dark Phoenix Saga” is an incredibly scary prospect, and it brings nothing but misery for the X-Men.
Legion’s objective is to locate David Haller and return him to their consciousness, and the first issue of Giant-Size Dark Phoenix Saga brings him extremely close to achieving this goal. As soon as the Dark Phoenix sensed Legion’s presence in time, they were drawn to his proposal. The Phoenix Force chose to shift hosts, and all of a sudden, Legion was granted one of the most formidable powers in existence. This significant change could signal disaster for Ms. Marvel and the X-Men.
The Phoenix Force Is More Powerful than Gods
In the expansive Marvel Universe, the Phoenix Force stands as one of the most formidable forces. Known for its dual nature of death and rebirth, this energy is responsible for shaping and reshaping reality. Over numerous stories, readers have witnessed various manifestations of the Phoenix Force performing awe-inspiring acts. The sheer power of Dark Phoenix was immediately evident when it consumed an entire star from the D’Bari solar system, a feat never before seen in the Marvel Universe.
Throughout the narrative “Here Comes Tomorrow,” readers learned that the Phoenix Force is a universal destructive force. Grant Morrison’s New X-Men series further expanded its influence by revealing that part of its role is to eliminate sickly timelines, a task beyond the comprehension of most beings in the Marvel Multiverse. Although the Celestials are considered powerful, they pale in comparison to a fully empowered Phoenix host. Even Eternity, the embodiment of the universe itself, cannot compete with the Phoenix Force’s ability to devour entire universes. The Phoenix Force wields an unparalleled power, one that rivals a Dominion – a being existing beyond space and time. Simply put, the Phoenix Force is in a league of its own.

Legion convinces the Phoenix Force to abandon Jean Grey because they assure it that they’ll fulfill the mission of the Phoenix Force. Jean Grey struggles to control the Phoenix Force due to its cosmic power, and she doesn’t want it to wreak havoc in the universe. The alters inside Legion are no longer human, lacking empathy for life, and have always driven Legion towards destruction. The Phoenix Force is inherently dangerous, but with Legion at the helm, it could cause unimaginable damage. Legion seeks the Phoenix Force to destroy everything, including the universe, as a means of seeking revenge against David Haller. This would make Legion even more powerful than they already are. Ms. Marvel and the X-Men find themselves in a dire predicament, but it’s when they’re at their best that they step up to face this challenge.
Legion Does Immeasurable Damage Before the Phoenix Force Leaves Him
One aspect of “The Dark Phoenix Saga” that people might not fully grasp is what Jean Grey ultimately loses control over – the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix Force. Despite her efforts to contain it, the mental manipulation by Mastermind led Jean to lose control, allowing the Phoenix Force to unleash its destructive power as Dark Phoenix. Throughout the story, Jean struggles against the Phoenix Force, which resents her resistance. Eventually, the mutant Legion presents the Phoenix Force with an appealing prospect – a willing host. In “Giant-Size Dark Phoenix Saga” #1, we witness the terrifying might of the Phoenix, especially when it has a willing host, as the Phoenix Legion annihilates numerous Shi’Ar vessels and effortlessly overpowers both the X-Men and Imperial Guard.
Indeed, everything seems pointless since the Phoenix Force is deeply drawn to Jean above all else. Currently, Jean serves as the vessel for the Phoenix Force, and it returns to her again and again. It’s also worth noting that the Phoenix Legion ranks among the most perilous hosts of the Phoenix Force ever known.
