The Phoenix Force
Long ago, it was known that a renegade Shi'ar known as Rook'Shir became possessed by the Phoenix and went on a rampage against the Shi'ar empire. In response, the Imperium formed the Shi'ar Imperial Guard who succeeded in stopping him. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #479) Hundreds of years ago, the Phoenix Force headed to the planet Earth where its arrival was seen in a dream by the Yu-Ti of the city of K'un-Lun. He came to see a warrior to oppose it and set about finding this person who turned out to be Fongji. She was trained to be the new Iron Fist in order to challenge the Phoenix who took possession of her as a host vessel. Fongji managed to keep control of her senses but the danger of losing herself to the Phoenix led to her departing into the stars with her fate being unknown. Knowledge of this encounter came to be recorded in K'Un-Lun where it was passed down the line of Iron Fists. (New Avengers v2 #27)

Thane had tricked his compatriots in order to break into Terrax's stronghold in order to steal the Phoenix Egg he had in his possession. For his betrayal, Nebula killed him but his death led to his resurrection by the egg where he was empowered by it. With its power, he confronted his father Thanos and badly wounded him whereupon he declared himself as King Thane. (Thanos v2 #6) The Phoenix later came to Earth where it targeted the time displaced young Jean Grey where it sought to bond and eliminate her with it killing her in the process. (Jean Grey v1 #10)
It resurrected Jean Grey where it re-created her home town and made her lead a simple life within it until the X-Men had her remember her past. The Phoenix sought to bond with Jean once more but she rejected it and it departed peacefully with it giving its former host a new lease on life. (Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey v1 #5)
