What If is back! The biggest Marvel story of last year is the inspiration for the return of What If? We know how Avengers vs. X-Men turned out and changed the Marvel Universe…but what if it other heroes became the Phoenix Five? Jimmy Palmiotti and Jorge Molina create a four part story starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes fighting the Children of the Atom.

Iron Man tried to kill the Phoenix before it could possess Hope but the entity split into five hosts: Cyclops, Emma Frost, Colossus, Magik and Namor – with devastating results.
Look who became host of the Phoenix Five!
What If AvX #1 arrives in July.
I was a huge fan of the original What If issues like: If Phoenix had not died (this was before Jean’s resurrection) and Wolverine became an Agent of SHIELD.
