The whole Phoenix Gremlin thing was really oddly handled. Phoenix largely did nothing for most of the show, had a really cool battle, then died and was replaced immediately by a far more interesting Phantom, who basically stood around doing nothing just as often.

I just don't get why Gremlin wasn't just always there, and why even bother with Phoenix if they always planned to have him killed half way through the show and never mentioned again.
