Michelangelo gave Leonardo the '''Human Machine''' and a small piece of his power, telling him that Leonardo must help save the world. Leonardo learned that there will be a man named '''Leonid''' in the future that he must meet and that there was a god growing in the Sun. He built the '''Immortal City''' under Rome and a door called the '''Iter''', which punched a hole in space and time, that could only be opened with a key that Leonardo gave Michelangelo.

Many years ago, he was approached by '''Chan Kong-Sang''' who came from the Immortal City of [[K'un-Lun (Marvel)|K'un-Lun]] and had been dispatched by the ruling Yu-Ti. At the time, the Yu-Ti had learnt that the [[Phoenix Force (Marvel)|Phoenix Force]] was heading towards Earth and he sought to save the world. Thus, he had sent a messenger to enlist the aid of Leonardo da Vinci who whilst sceptical made the journey to the hidden city. Once there, he witnessed the girl '''Fongji''' who was destined to become the Phoenix and was undergoing training to become the next Iron Fist but this was not going well. This was because she was reluctant in cooperating and had never been raised to speak until the Yu-Ti goaded her by insulting her mother. In a rage, the red haired girl manifested the power of the Phoenix before collapsing with da Vinci looking to examine her. He had the people of K'un-Lun help him in creating a large telescope in order to witness the coming approach of the fiery Phoenix. Leonardo later accompanied the Yu-Ti and the Thunderer to the caves of [[Shou-Lao the Undying]] where Fongji was sent alone to complete the training to become the Iron Fist. After two days, she emerged having completed in her task and had manifested the power of her role. Later, da Vinci caught sight of the Phoenix approaching the planet and had a message sent to the Yu-Ti to warn them that the time of prophecy had arrived.
