Enter – the Phoenix ! But what is the price of a universal never-ending ’s aid … ? " With that in mind , the counseling of the report could go anywhere , especially since the Phoenix has been both ally and foe in the past . It seems that the Phoenix Force will definitely help Taaia , but will she end up becoming like her son as a major opponent to the heroes ?
