History: (What If? II#60/3) - After the Phoenix Force had taken the form of Jean Grey, it shared an intimate moment with Wolverine. While they were in each other's arms, Cyclops walked in on them. Phoenix apologized to Scott but explained that she just could not be held back anymore. As time passed, Phoenix grew rougher and more out of control in battle, savagely lashing out again the White Queen of the Hellfire Club when Mastermind's illusions were revealed. Unfortunately, Mastermind's illusions still affected Phoenix and she attacked Cyclops when he tried to save her from Mastermind. She eventually took her vengeance on Mastermind and rejoined the X-Men as they escaped the Hellfire Club mansion. Due to Mastermind's psychic tampering and her own out of control emotions, Phoenix soon became Dark Phoenix and attacked the X-Men, despite Wolverine trying to help her. Professor Xavier managed to calm the Phoenix but soon after, the X-Men were teleported to the Shi'ar Empire where Lilandra announced that Phoenix must be destroyed for the sake of the universe. Professor X challenged her to a duel of honor between his X-Men and her Imperial Guard, a battle that stressed Phoenix back into her Dark Phoenix persona. Wolverine tried to help her once again but his influence did not help matters and Dark Phoenix lashed out, destroying the X-Men, the Imperial Guard, the Shi'ar court. She then flew out into space and lashed outward, destroying the entire universe.
