During an encounter with [[Galactus]], Rachel Summers—completely overtaken by the Phoenix Force—battles Galactus to save a planet he was preparing to devour.<ref>''Excalibur'' #25</ref> The Phoenix Force disrupts Galactus' feeding process and easily defeats him. Galactus accuses the Phoenix Force of hypocrisy and reveals to it that its existence in a corporeal state is sustained by robbing energy used to birth future generations. Realizing this to be true, the Phoenix vows to return to its prior existence of "touching all that is" while allowing an echo of its power to remain with Rachel's now-dominant consciousness.<ref>''Excalibur'' #61 (Late Jan. 1993)</ref><ref>''Excalibur'' #63 (March 1993)</ref>
