That would be good, but I can't believe it.  You are saying in one world
Phoenix appeared as the simulacrum of a cosmic being.  In the other, Jean
gained exactly the same powers through radiation.  Both later became Dark
Phoenix and behaved exactly the same way (as shown in Rachel's flashbacks
in X-Men #199).  This is asking for a lot of coincidences.  The simplest
explanation is that the events creating Phoenix were the same in both worlds.
