Reputation
Rachel Summers is pretty much known only to the X-Men. She seems to have some weird family connection to Scott Summers and Jean Grey and knows most of the X-Men even if they do not know her; alternate reality stuff.
Biography
Rachel Anne 'Ray' Grey-Summers is the daughter of Jean Grey and Scott Summers from an alternate timeline that mirrored the prime reality before diverging drastically. In her reality, Senator Robert Kelly was assassinated causing a widespread fear and paranoia against mutants, causing an anti-mutant candidate to win the next election. The X-Men were declared fugitives and one by one she saw those she had loved and admired killed or imprisoned as the Sentinels began a purge of all mutant-life. Finally the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was attacked and destroyed by Federal Troops; the only survivor of the attack was Rachel who had been found at the side of Professor's Xavier's body.
She would be tortured and brainwashed after her capture by sadistic scientists who turned her into a mutant 'hound', being forced to use her psionic powers to hunt down other mutants for the authorities including people she loved and was forced to kill. It was during one particularly sadistic torture session that Rachel broke free of her brainwashing, the emotional intensity of her grief and anguish over the things she had done combined with the pain allowing her to regain her former self; she attacked her captors and was rendered useless as a hound.
Rachel was imprisoned with other surviving mutants for experimentation at a Containment Facility where she managed to re-join surviving members of the X-Men she had long thought dead. The group of them would hatch a plan to save the world from this horrible fate by changing the past in a desperate attempt that could cost all of them their lives. Their first attempt was unsuccessful and they had found that the past could not be changed as they had attempted to. In the intervening time, Rachel found herself the only survivor of the X-Men along with another when the rest of the team had perished in an assault on the Sentinel's Headquarters.
The other survivor and Rachel attempted once more to find a way to correct the mistakes of the past, with Rachel sending her astral projected-self back in time, where she would first encounter the Phoenix Force. Rachel passed out upon her encounter with the Phoenix Force as well as the strain of her time travel and it was then that her friend made a deal with the Phoenix Force. Rachel's powers were boosted and she was sent back in time physically, instead of being sent back to her own time period she arrived in the mainstream reality.
The young mutant and survivor of an entire reality found herself returned to a time when the X-Men had all lived once more and there was no assassination to prevent. She found some of the horrors she had lived through hard to remember, her memory fragmented and disjointed through time travel but she felt that she was home; at least for a time.
Not long after her arrival at the Xavier Institute of her reality, Rachel had seemingly disappeared again as mysteriously as she had arrived. The Sentinel Nimrod had pursued her from her own Timeline and attempted to eliminate her, it was the Phoenix Force within her that saved her life after several journeys through different timelines. After the destruction of pursuer and the apparent elimination of her own timeline Rachel would become lost within two separate streams of time.
One Rachel would become stranded in the future and become Mother Askani; founder of the Clan Askani. The other Rachel would be sent to the end of time itself where she was captured and depowered, the Phoenix Force within her being enslaved. It was her brother Nathan, the man known as Cable who would manage to save her and return her to the prime reality.
For most of the X-Men, Rachel had only been gone for a few months since her initial appearance and disappearance. Her travels had taken her what seemed like years through the time stream, her brother keeping the secret about her return while she recovered from the ordeals she had been through. Taking on the codename Marvel Girl, just like her mother once did Rachel is happy to be home and among her family once more.

Character Details
Rachel on the surface is a nice person who can be spirited and determined. However she is haunted by the days of her future past when she lost everyone she cared about. She's gotten past the emotional volatility that came with those losses but it doesn't mean she is over everything she has been through. Most of the time she feels like an outsider but it's caused her to be loyal to her family, the X-Men above all else.
| Guerrilla Warfare |
| In her own timeline, direct confrontation against the enemy was not possible; it was suicidal. The X-Men trained in a variety of guerrilla warfare tactics, fighting as an insurgency against the anti-mutant regime that held dominion. Rachel learned to utilize smaller numbers, as well as hit and run tactics to deal with the enemy; never losing sight of a potential resource on the battlefield. |
| Tracking |
| As a Mutant Hound, Rachel was responsible for tracking down other mutants, not only with her psionic powers but also through more conventional or mundane means without the use of her powers.. These skills can serve her well and in knowing how to track, she also knows how to hide her own tracks fairly well. |
| Technology |
| In her timeline Rachel learned how to operate a wide variety of advanced weaponry and technology. She is well versed in vehicular repair and operation as well, having learned to fly and maintain the X-Men's Blackbird in her era. |
| Stealth |
| Rachel has learned to be adept at sticking to the shadows when she needs to, as a Hound she often had to sneak up on her targets and use the element of surprise to dispatch or capture them. Not being a Hound, it still turns out useful to be able to sneak around and not be a fifth wheel when infiltrating a secure facility or installation. |
| Survival |
| Rachel's survival skills are impressive considering the reality she came from and the things she survived. She can make do without the comforts of life with ease, making do with scavenging and other survival techniques. Surviving in a post-apocalyptic anti-mutant wasteland has toughened her into a hardened survivor who is ready for anything, except the loss of her family again. |
| Psychic Link |
| Rachel is able to create links with individuals that can keep them connected to her despite distance or inhibitors that might prevent otherwise. The other person must be willing to some degree, whether consciously or subconsciously for this link to actually be established. |
| Combat Training |
| Rachel has trained in both unarmed and armed combat in her own timeline, with weapons like firearms being a necessity at times due to the fact there powers were often suppressed by their enemies. She's a fair fighter in hand to hand combat having been trained by the X-Men of her time and a passable shooter if the situation calls for it. |
| Thief |
| Rachel learned from her time about lock-picking, cracking electronic security systems and other minor thievery skills such as sleight of hand tricks that proved very useful in their fight for survival and can prove useful in the modern day; given the systems are far less advanced. |
| Telekinesis |
Rachel possesses telekinetic ability that allows her to exercise very fine control over objects, including herself. The exact limits of this in terms of weight and mass in respect to her telekinetic powers is fairly high being an Omega Level Mutant with her able to levitate herself with three other people and up to 50 tons for example depending on the strain and is aware of objects down to a molecular level when using her powers. She also possesses several specialized abilities:
* Concussive Blasts: She can project powerful telekinetic energies as blast beams that can affect matter with concussive force.
* Forcefield: She has the ability to create protective shields that can deflect powerful attacks, filter bacteria from the air, withstand high atmospheric pressures etc… She is able to use such fine control that she can create forcefields that are shaped precisely or conformed to her body's form.
* Intuitive Aptitude: She can disassemble complex devices explosively (separating every component all at once) and just as easily assemble/reassemble complex devices. This enables her to attain awareness and control over objects as small as individual electronics in an atom. She can detect and discern individual oxygen molecules and determine the atomic weight of the molecules by the number of atoms present.
* Matter Alteration: Rachel seems to have a rare talent for Matter Alteration. She mostly uses this ability to change her outfits as she desires or sometimes to suit the environment she is in, having never unlocked the upper levels of this ability. All Rachel has the capability of doing with this at the moment is changing clothes/outfits on a whim; if she was to develop the power further she could potentially modify her own genome or remove the tattoos/brands that have been placed on her. It's unlikely to see this power developed any further than it is.
* Psionic Spikes: She has the ability to create destructive spikes of psionic energy that destroy physical objects they come into contact with.
* Telekinetic Flight: She is able to levitate herself to fly for very long distances at varying speeds with the average being 100 miles per hour, although with great strain she could likely double or triple this. |
| Telepathy |
Rachel is capable of reading minds and can project her thoughts into other minds within a vast, potentially limitless radius.
* Astral Projection: Projection of herself from her body onto astral planes or the physical plane over short distances. In the Astral Plane she can even affect her environment.
* Mental Paralysis: Induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.
* Mind Alteration: Alter the minds of others by force of will, with the ability to change memories or personality partially or entirely. She can even fully erase awareness or events or memories or at the highest end of the spectrum cause total amnesia in a victim.
* Mind Control: Control the mind of another by concentrating on controlling the victim, works best against ordinary targets.
* Mind Possession: Possessing the mind of another and using their body as your own.
* Mind Reading: Reading the thoughts, emotions and memories of other people.
* Mutant Detection: Able to sense the presence of another mutant within a small radius by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by mutants.
*Psychometric Projections: She can also use this in the same way psychometry might be used to gain information about a person or an object, but she can also mentally project past events.
* Psionic Blasts: Create psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but can cause damage to a victim's mind with effects such as pain, unconsciousness or at the highest force of the power leaving a victim brain dead.
* Psionic Firebird: Can manifest her telepathy as a psionic firebird with a resemblance to the Phoenix. The claws can inflict both physical and mental damage upon targets.
* Psionic Shield: Erect a psychic shield of protection for herself as well as other's minds to keep them safe from Telepathy.
* Telepathic Cloak: She can mask her presence to avoid being detected by others and extend those defenses to others around her as well. She is also capable of disguising herself with a psychic shadow, making her appearance that of a shadow.
* Telepathic Illusions: Capable of creating illusions to make herself look like someone else, seem to be invisible or even make others think events are happening around them that are not. |
| Child Of The Future |
| Rachel is from the future and sometimes events seem similar enough to her own timeline she is able to provide some insight, but this is not often the case due to the divergence of the timelines. Despite this, she still knows most of the X-Men from her own timeline, which can make things a little awkward in this one when she meets an old friend or hero for the first time in this reality. |
| Battle Hardened |
| There are very few sights that unsettle Rachel on the battlefield or anywhere else, she's seen so many atrocities and terrors firsthand that she isn't shaken by these things. In combat, she is cool and capable; often able to take control of the situation if others have momentarily lost themselves in shock. |
| X-men |
| Rachel Summers is a member of the X-Men from birth in her own reality and since arriving in this new timeline. She considers them her family and would do anything to protect one of them. Of course, being an X-Man (or X-Woman) comes with a host of other benefits as well. |
| Education |
| Rachel was educated at the Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters and has the equivalent of a college level education in the current era. |
| Psi-bonded |
| After her disappearance and travels through time, Rachel met and bonded with her alternate reality brother Nathan Summers (Cable). The pair are linked together and when he was a baby she swore she would always protect him and keep him safe. |
| Team Player |
| Rachel is a team player at the core. She is happy to follow orders or perfectly capable of being a leader if the situation calls for it, having taken after her father in that regard. Given her immense respect and admiration for most of the X-Men, it's easy for her to be happy to contribute as a member of the team she had thought she lost forever. |
| Chronometry |
| Rachel has an undefined connection to the time stream, that can occasionally grant her powers or abilities. (PLOT USE ONLY) |
| Hound |
| Rachel is branded by a series of tattoos on her face that marked her as a 'Hound' in her own reality. She hides these with her psionic abilities, the act taking almost no subconscious effort. Telepaths with high skill can see through this illusion and if she is unconscious or sleeping they are no longer hidden. |
| Mark Of The Phoenix |
| Despite the fact that the Phoenix is gone from her, she bears residual traces of it. Whenever she uses her telekinesis or pushes her telepathy to its limits, a 'Phoenix' mark can be seen over her left eye. Whenever she uses telekinesis, her powers show the Golden Flames even if the Phoenix has left her. |
| Branded |
| When she was sent to the end of time, Rachel was branded with a tattoo of a phoenix upon her back by her captors when they stripped the Phoenix Force from her. The exact purpose of this tattoo is unknown, but may have been a potential way to track her or control her as a means of draining the Phoenix from her. |
| Emotional Scars |
| Rachel still feels a great deal of guilt and shame that she keeps to herself over the bad things she did as a hound. Occasionally she runs into someone she even killed in her own timeline or saw killed and the memories are still real for her; even if the events are not and will never pass. Another aspect of this scarring is her hatred of people who show intolerance towards mutants, while she wouldn't kill a fellow mutant; she doesn't share the same ethics as the X-Men of this time in regards to other enemies especially those who are out to harm her friends and family. |
| Outsider |
| Rachel is not of this timeline or one that seems to exist anymore, which makes her rather unique in the fact that there are not multiple copies of her in the multiverse. As far as she knows, she's the only one; she's completely unaware of her divergent self and likely never will be aware. She doesn't possess a citizenship or birth certificate and as far as the United States Government is concerned, she doesn't exist; luckily she can use her telepathy to get past most situations that require documentation. |
| Fragmented Memories |
| Rachel's memories can be somewhat fragmented and she doesn't fully remember the scale of the horrors and atrocities she has seen. Some of her adventures through time are also lost in the back of her mind and at times, bits and pieces of what she has experienced will come back to her in fragments. |
