Summary[]
In this SO, the Phoenix Force is approaching Earth for reasons unknown, though the Phoenix reassures S.H.I.E.L.D. that it means no harm. However, Mr. Sinister and his gang, including Sugar Man and Madelyne Pryor hope to somehow gain the power of the Phoenix Force for themselves, which they try and almost succeed but the X-Men intervene and manage to stop them. However, the Phoenix Force is broken up into fragments which possesses several mutants as hosts, including Madelyne Pryor, the Stepford Cuckoos and Quentin Quire.
In Mission 2, the new hosts of the Phoenix Force find themselves becoming corrupted by their newfound powers. The Hellfire Club, learning of this new development, opens its doors to them, S.H.I.E.L.D. must now come to the X-Men’s aid in restoring their allies and removing the influence of the Phoenix Force from their minds.
In Mission 3, the new hosts of the Phoenix Force do not take too kindly to the attack on them and make plans to strike back together. Phoenix will try to regain her mastery over the Phoenix Force and will therefore be protected by the other heroes. Mr. Sinister will also appear in this mission, hoping to use the opportunity to take the power from any one of the hosts. The mission will end with Phoenix facing off against Madelyne Pryor and reconnecting with the Phoenix Force, which will become one with her tas she accepts it, making her stronger.
