(
The next set of villains I am analyzing is a team of five Marvel (I prefer DC but I had to even it out a little bit) heroes that became influenced by the Phoenix Force, and thus turned evil. The Phoenix force is an intergalactic mystic force that has the potential to be absorbed by those who are worthy. Well to start with my romanticism analysis the Phoenix force is a force of nature. The Incredibly powerful energy source (Nature) allowed itself to be absorbed by five mutants which in this case are Imperfect Humans. There is obviously reverence to nature in these villains. Anyway so the 5 X-Men that absorbed the Phoenix Force were Emma Frost, Colossus, Magik, Namor, and their leader Cyclops. The absorption of the phoenix force caused a Superhero war, which is portrayed in the "Avengers Vs. X-Men" storyline. The Phoenix force itself is not evil, but it caused the X-Men it influenced to demand from the world the respect that the mutants deserved. The people of the world did not agree, so the Phoenix 5 and the X-Men joined together to reck havoc upon the world. Anyway so one romantic value in the Five belongs to Magik. Magik's powers involve controlling and summoning the demons in Hell. This is an obvious allusion to the Bible because the Hell that she is able to summon demons from is the Hell mentioned in the Bible. Another Romantic Allusion is from Namor (Marvel's rip off of the glorious Aquaman). Namor is the king of the seas, and he alludes to the ancient city of Atlantis. Atlantis was created by the ancient philosopher known as Platos, as an example of a utopian society with a perfect world. Utopian Societies are a romantic era value. Due to utopian societies the entire Phoenix Five has a romantic value there because The Phoenix five wanted to create their utopia. Thus they have a romantic value. Well thats about it for the Phoenix Five. For my 10th and potentially final villain I will be analyzing the God of War, the one the only Ares.
