The Phoenix Force is an ideologuic aspect of the Life Entity. It is an avatar for the concepts of resurrection and predation both.

Born of the same primal power as the First Gods, the Phoenix Force exists close to the heart of reality itself-- the Source. The light of the Phoenix Force is the Power Cosmic, and the power of the Phoenix is nearly absolute, as it exists in a state of perfect harmony with itself and the universe. The Phoenix Force harvests the energy of errant and dead ideologues and captures them in the M'kraan Crystal, holding them until the last light in the universe is extinguished. The Phoenix will consume itself restarting the universe and a new Phoenix will be born from the cracking of the Egg, a new Big Bang that will continue the universal cycle of life and death. The lifecycle of the Phoenix Force is closely tied to the M'kraan Crystal.

Before time was time, before Oa broke the First Firmament into the fragmented multiverses, the lone universe filled with teeming life, only to collapse and expand again in a cycle with infinite iterations, lost in an infinity of timelines.

Among these were the residents of the planet Taa, a race of supremely powerful and technologically advanced organic life. From these survivors, the Phoenix picked one to be the 'legacy' of the last living beings of that universe.

This individual was named Galan, and in exchange for his life, he was bound to serve the Phoenix as the ideological embodiment of predatory hunger. His name-- Galactus.

With the universe in a state of equilibrium, the Phoenix Force had been largely inactive for untold millennia. Appearances were rare and devastating on a scale greater than even Galactus could effect. With its mysterious mandate fulfilled, the Phoenix would disappear from a devastated galactic sector just as quickly as it arrived.

In 2015, Jean Grey and the X-Men were involved with the Brood Invasion. Jean's actions led to the Phoenix Force snuffing out the entire Brood race-- Empress, Queens, and billions of broodlings across the universe.
