Narrowing Down The Candidates For The Next Phoenix Host (Spoilers)

Today sees The Avengers #43 narrow down the prospective candidates for the new host of the Phoenix Force in the Marvel Universe. The winner won't be revealed until next week, but a few of the candidates have been eliminated.

Black Panther, Namor, Captain America, She-Hulk, Red Widow and Shanna The She-Devil are left standing, though notably, Jane Foster is up to her own thing during the issue. Avengers #44 seems to suggest a female-presenting silhouette, which may narrow the field down further.

As does having Captain America and Black Panther look on at the new figure. The silhouette doesn't fit She-Hulk unless she is looking more like Jennifer Walters. Our money is still on Jane Foster, but Red Widow or Shanna could also fill that role. And give Thor even more complexes to deal with.
