Actually, it's Ra the Egyptian Sun God. The ancient egyptians sometimes made him in the image of the phoenix, so thus, technically, he would be more powerful and bada** than Fawkes (Who is already awesome).

Plus, look at Yugioh, the Ra in that show turns from a freakin DRAGON into a PHEONIX.

Oh, and in Japan, the Kirin is even more powerful than the Pheonix.
