Wolverine Gets a Phoenix Redesign ✖ As we've known for some time, Marvel's Phoenix Force is on the hunt for a new host on Earth and she's hand selected a group of characters to battle it out for the title. This whole throw down is taking place in the pages of Jason Aaron's The Avengers and the list of potential contenders is shrinking every week. In this week's issue, Avengers #42, we see the elimination of Echo by Namor and Shang-Chi by Captain America (who was actively trying to lose, but by the effort, still won the match-up) but one character makes a push for why they should be the host and it would be wise to listen.
