#359 - Phoenix\/Agamotto<\/h3>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

An early host for the powerful cosmic entity the Phoenix Force, Phoenix is able to create fire that, while incredibly hot, has no effect on the Fallen.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Avengers of 1,000,000 BC are an interesting concept: forebears of the heroes we know today got together in prehistoric times to fend off a massive threat. And so we learn that Jean Grey<\/a> was not the Phoenix's first encounter with humanity, but just one in a long line. We also learn that it definitely had a \"type,\" because Phoenix 1MBC is still a hot red head. [Stop kinkshaming the Phoenix Force! --ed.] This makes it clear that \"1,000,000 BC\" is more poetic than literal, because not only were there no redheads a million years ago (the gene responsible for red hair has only been around for 100,000 years at most), there weren't even humans<\/b> a million years ago! The evolutionary chart had only made it to Homo erectus<\/i> so far. Not-Jean is wearing a fur cape and loincloth, and the Phoenix effect behind her head is actually glued onto the hair. Her shirt and necklace are painted on, and her accessories include fist-flames and a swirling fire base<\/a>, in translucent yellow.<\/p>\n

Agamotto was Earth's first Sorcerer Supreme, and the creator of the Eye of Agamotto, the Orb of Agamotto, and co-creator of the Book of Vishanti.<\/i><\/p>\n

It had previously been said that Agamotto was born 25,000 years ago, but he and the other two Vishanti (his mother Oshtur, and Hoggoth) are extra-dimensional entities, so what does our concept of time mean to them? Agamotto has lived as a mortal before, so maybe he's tried that out more than once. When he appears in visions, it's usually as a tiger, so it's a shame there's no hint of that in this design. He wears a red cloak, tying him visually to Dr. Strange<\/a> (with antlers attached to the shoulders acting like Stephen Strange's ostentatious collar), though the goatee and the slicked-back hair have hints of Baron Mordo. His blue loincloth is the same mold as Phoenix's, and he's got alternate \"magic spell\" hands.<\/p>\n
