The Phoenix Project

(So, this page I'm not only making as something I wanted to make. This page is to honor two of my greatest friends on wiki. I know one of them will get to see this first and I hope he appreciates it. The other may never see this because he may never come back, but I still had to include him. This project & these characters not only represent us, but out friendship and how strong it is. I hope you like it, but more importantly I hope they like it.)

The Phoenix Project is a project created in order to study and contain the Phoenix. This project was created by Tony Stark (Iron Man), Reed Richards (Mr.Fantastic), Hank Pym (Ant-Man), and Hank McCoy (Beast) with Jean Grey as the volunteer who allowed them to attempt to contain the beast.

The Experiment
In order for this project to work, Jean had to die, or at least be in a deathlike state in order for the Phoenix to take over. Jean was put into a deathlike coma. As such, the Phoenix took over. With Jean locked away, the Phoenix was now in full control without Jean to hold her back. The Phoenix allowed herself to be studied for a few days, letting the four geniuses think they were safe. Finally, on the third day of her containment, the Phoenix broke through her cage, eyes glowing with flames, and killed the four men effortlessly. She left Beast alive, scrambling his brain, but leaving just enough of it for him to explain what had happened. Professor Xavier would be the one to find the men in a horrific scene, the only remnants of the three dead (Tony, Hank & Reed) were their uniforms.

Recruiting For The Future
The Phoenix came to the conclusion that she could not simply defeat the Avengers, X-Men or any other threats to her on her own, so she decided to recruit each groups largest enemies. Together, they would exterminate each group, one by one, until there was nothing left. The Phoenix chose her henchmen carefully, choosing those she thought would assist her the most. Her three highest ranking officer (which she imbued with cosmic powers), include Loki, Ultron & Selene Gallio (The Black Queen). She Called Her team, The Phoenix Force.

Destruction
The Phoenix assisted these three in destroying the X-Men, the Avengers, and Asgard. With these groups decimated, the Phoenix chose to rule Earth as well as other realms, sending her henchmen to do her bidding, while she ran Earth her way, toying with those who remained. The Phoenix revived those she deemed useful to her, giving some heroes to her henchmen and keeping some for herself as her guards. She believed she had won the battle, and that no war could defeat her at this point, but for some, there was still hope.

The Protectors
While the Phoenix believed she had won, 3 young heroes were plotting to defeat her. These 3 heroes, coming from each of the groups the Phoenix had destroyed, kept some of their allies alive in order to prepare to fight a war against the Phoenix, with the 3 of them as the groups leaders. Two of these were children of fallen heroes, while one was an mutant, originally apart of the X-Men before they were wiped out. These 3 young heroes worked together performing covert mission together in order to stop the Phoenix. While their work would be long, and they had a long journey & battle together, they knew that the end result would be worth it.
