Phoenix

AVX: VS #1 (June 2012): "The Invincible Iron Man vs. Magneto", page 10, panel 1:
Magneto (thinking): "Somewhere in the depths of space, I felt an entire planet VANISH in an instant. Consumed by the fires of the Phoenix. A holocaust in the blink of an eye. Dear god. What have we gotten ourselves into?"

Maximum Security: Dangerous Planet #1 (Oct. 2000): "A Very Dangerous Planet", page 4, panel 3:
Ambassador Kreddik: "Humanity is a menace! They interfere in our cultures... They harbored the Dark Phoenix, defied the Celestials!"

X-Men (vol. 1) #101 (Oct. 1976): "Like a Phoenix, From the Ashes!":
Jean Grey/Phoenix: "Hear me, X-Men! No longer am I the woman you knew! I am fire! And life incarnate! Now and forever I am Phoenix!"

Note: As originally presented in this story, Jean Grey crashed into ocean as Marvel Girl but rose as Phoenix. A later retcon established Phoenix as being a distinct being, a duplicate of Grey.
