Phoenixes are a supernatural being that resurrects upon death in a burst of fire. Much remains unknown about this species.

Known Phoenixes[]

Powers and Abilities[]

  •  Self-Resurrection: Phoenixes, such as Landon, have the ability to resurrect from the dead. The body will spontaneously self-combust only for the phoenix to be reborn from the ashes. It is unknown whether or not if there is a limited number of times a phoenix can resurrect before they perish permanently. Furthermore, there does not seem to be a set amount of time that it takes for a phoenix to resurrect. After his first death, Landon took around a day to resurrect, however further resurrections were faster.
  • Levitation: Phoenixes seemingly possess some form of levitation - allowing them to float a few feet up off the ground. While embracing and kissing Hope, Landon seemingly caused both himself and Hope to rise off of the ground and remained mid-air for a few seconds before the pair fell back down to the ground.
    • Flight: Phoenixes can produce wings of fire from their backs that enable them to fly.

Weaknesses[]

  • Mortality: Despite their mystical attributes, phoenixes share similar mortal weaknesses as human and supernatural beings that can result in immediate death, such as blood loss and a broken neck. However, they are spared from death as they can self-resurrect.
  • Iron: This metal is known to weaken phoenixes when it comes to skin contact. This is shown when Arielle put iron handcuffs on Thomas to take him back to the present time. It is unknown if Landon Kirby is weakened by this.
    • The Golden Arrow: The sphinx's prophecy revealed that a phoenix can be felled by the Golden Arrow. The exact understanding of the arrow's mystical attributes remain unknown. However, in Goodbyes Sure Do Suck; the Golden Arrow successfully killed the phoenix part of Landon and left him human and mortal, killing Landon in the process.
