===The Rise of Dark Phoenix=== At some point, the entity ends up in Shi'ar space, where it bonds with a citizen of the Empire named [[Rook'shir]], who controls the power of the Phoenix Force in conjunction with his blade. He is ultimately overwhelmed by the Phoenix's power and becomes the first known host to succumb to the Phoenix Force's destructive impulses, going insane from the power it embodied and becoming the '''Dark Phoenix'''. Rook'shir goes on a destructive rampage through the Empire and destroys many planets in the process. He is killed by the [[Imperial Guard (Marvel Comics)|Imperial Guard]], which later becomes the first line of defense of the Shi'ar Empire. The Phoenix flees, leaving a small remnant of itself in the blade, which can only be lifted by Rook'shir's descendants. Fearing the power of the Phoenix, the Shi'ar demonizes the entity and orders the deaths or sterilizations of Rook'shir's descendants.<ref name="Uncanny X-Men #479">''The Uncanny X-Men'' #479</ref> As time passes, the entity is contacted by a mage named [[Feron]]. Feron worships the legendary [[Phoenix (mythology)|Phoenix]], so his daydream-like visions prompts the Phoenix to adopt the fiery bird's form. He asks the Phoenix to help him by lending its energy to project a lighthouse-like stone pillar across the [[Multiverse (Marvel Comics)|multiverse]]. The pillar later becomes the lighthouse base for the British superhero team [[Excalibur (comics)|Excalibur]]. Afterwards, [[Necrom]] attacks Feron to steal the power of the Phoenix. Strengthened by the Phoenix Force, Feron is able to fight back, but Necrom steals a fraction of the Phoenix Force's essence, forcing it to flee back to space in agonized confusion.<ref name="Excalibur #50">''Excalibur'' #50</ref> In the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century, [[Yu-Ti]] of [[K'un-L'un]] has visions of the Phoenix coming to Earth and of a red-headed Iron Fist who would confront it. In one vision, she loses control and destroys the world; in another, she tames its power. When walking the streets, Yu-Ti comes across Fongji Wu, the daughter of a woman who had ventured to the outside world and lain with a man from beyond K'un-Lun.<ref name="The New Avengers vol. 2 #25">''The New Avengers'' vol. 2 #25</ref> After defeating [[Shou-Lao]] and becoming the Iron Fist, Fongji confronts the Phoenix Force and becomes its host.<ref name="The New Avengers vol. 2 #25"/> The Phoenix Force attempts to overwhelm Fongji and turn her into the Dark Phoenix, but she resists the being's control. Determining that she needed to leave Earth to prevent the possibility of losing control, Fongji ventures off into space, never to be seen again.<ref>''The New Avengers'' vol. 2 #27</ref>
