Which Iron man proceeded to shoot with a big honkin' space gun, splitting the Phoenix into 5 pieces and those 5 pieces just choosing to possess Scott, Emma, Piotr, Illyanna, and Namor.

I know it's popular now to treat the Phoenix as this awful force of destruction, but why does everyone forget that when it first showed up, it saved the entire freakin' universe from the M'kraan Crystal? Or that Rachel used it for years and never blew up a planet or unintentionally hurt her teammates? Or that when it actually possessed Jean years later (they retconned the M'kraan Crystal/Dark Phoenix Saga into being solely the Phoenix's doing, but whatever), she had complete control and didn't risk any of her teammates or fellow planet's residents' lives?

The mutant Hope was being trained to control the Phoenix, as she has some bullshit connection to it due to looking like and having similar powers to Jean Grey. It wasn't that dumb of Cyclops to think that the X-men, who have more experience with this entity than the Avengers, could use its power to bring back Mutant-kind.
