There have been several characters published by Marvel Comics to use the alias of the Phoenix. The first one, Baron Zemo, only used that alias once; the later bearers of the identity are far more notable, and all are associated with the Phoenix Force.
The Phoenix Force is a powerful extra-terrestrial entity which possesses mortals and amplifies their psychic abilities. Its known hosts have included Jean Grey and Rachel Summers, both members of the X-Men. The entity did not physically possess Jean Grey; instead, it created a second body identical to hers and through that body acted for her while she lay in a coma. However, the Phoenix was unable to adapt to its newfound humanity and was driven mad; as the Dark Phoenix, it destroyed a planet populated by sentient creatures and subsequently committed suicide. Jean Grey was later revealed to be alive, and later reassumed the name of the Phoenix after marrying Cyclops.
Most recently, Jean began manifesting the attributes of the Phoenix Force, and despite this generally retained her self-control until her death at the hands of Magneto.
