I JUST faced one the other day, and she got off two early hits with TK on a colossal...she had every chance to be reborn...

Alright i think i got it: Give her the B. Belt and set it on flurry, keep a vehicle next to her always, do the old swap driver trick after she attacks and badaboom.

Looking at the promotion mechanic, the old marvel girl costume and the the new imperial guard pieces, I am reminded of the original phoenix story and the classic battle on the moon. I think I will put Kurth's hammer on her with the book (giving her a +2 attack (representing the phoenix , team her with the ctd Colossus (who will use defend to boost her defense to 20 from range, a Cyclops tbd and one more all new all different member of the x-men (fast forces charles? for prob and supersenses helping from Lilandra's side) and see if i can promote her to Dark Phoenix.

Wanted to run her with the Phoenix Force, Cyclops Shard, and some X-Men see if I can get her promoted. If I do manage to promote her does the Phoenix Force remain attached to Dark Phoenix?

Time has changed indeed, look at those attack values compared with any of the 50 point new xmen.
