—Strange Tales Vol 1 138You are the second mortal to stand before me! The first was he whom you serve... known to you as the Ancient One! It was to him I gave the magic amulet, and the power it contains!
—Mighty Avengers Vol 1 30Richards is the Explorer. For him, science is about pure discovery. More than any of my other aspects, he has the capacity to learn, comprehend, and apply all there is to know. As for your other point of reference, Anthony Stark, he is the Enginerer. For him, science is a tool which he can use to shape his world and his destiny. But you, Hank Pym... You are the Mage. For you, science is about making the impossible possible. You are the one who takes science to the very point of magic--for no other reason other than that you can. Never forget this, Hank Pym. You are my champion. You are my Avenger! More than a founding Avenger of old, you are the founder of Avengers yet to come. A new Age of Heroes is upon us...more than any being, I put my trust in you. To you I entrust more than myself.

And has he not done this?
Yes, but in a manner most distressing.
How so?
The individuals he selected to safeguard the Infinity Gems... are completely unsuited for the responsibilities they now shoulder. So for the good of the universe, I put forth the motion that the Gems should be confiscated from Warlock's so-called Infinity Watch and... placed into my Custody.
As I expected.
You came to the stars because you knew what you needed to become, but still you resist. Why?
... Because I don't want to lose Jean Grey.
Jean Grey is an idea. An idea cannot be lost once brought into existence. It may be changed but not lost.
If I let go... and become what you suggest... What if I can't control it?
You can.
It's that simple?
To a being that does not exist as part of the very fabric of the universe, it would be exceedingly complicated. But you are the Phoenix. You said so yourself. And the Phoenix does not exist alone. There is a piece of you in every star. Every planet. Every being. You are creation.
