Rachel Anne "Ray" Summers, or Rachel Grey, and also known with the alias Phoenix, Marvel Girl and Prestige, is a Marvel Comics mutant superheroine who is associated with the X-Men. She debuted in X-Men #141 (January 1981), as part of the Days of Future Past storyline. Her first appearance in the main Marvel Universe would come three years later in New Mutants #18. She was created by Chris Claremont, John Byrne, and John Romita, Jr..Rachel is the daughter of Cyclops and Jean Grey from an alternate dystopian future timeline where Senator Robert Kelly was assassinated, and as a result, the Sentinels were allowed to take over the world. Rachel used her telepathy to send Katherine Pryde's mind to the past so she could save Senator Kelly. Katherine succeeded but their timeline remained unchanged, so Rachel used the Phoenix Force to go back in time and find out what had gone wrong. Rachel discovered she was stuck into an alternate timeline where her mother was dead and her father married to Madelyne Pryor. She'd join the X-Men and later Excalibur.Rachel remained with the team until her parents' wedding in X-Men #30. Then she travelled to another far-flung remote future where the Earth was a desert world ruled by Apocalypse. Rachel founded the Askani in order to oppose him, and brought Scott and Jean to the future to raise Cable.However, the events of The Twelve changed the timeline, and Rachel was kidnapped by a cyborg soldier called Gaunt. She was rescued and brought back to the present by her brother Cable, and attempted to lead a normal life until circumstances forced her to join the X-Men again.Rachel was Marvel's first (of many) "child from the future" characters. In addition to her mother's telepathy and telekinesis, Rachel can also send her astral form through time and across realities. She doesn't do this often though, since the rules of time travel make it largely ineffective.Notable Comic Books Appearances All-New Doop All-New X-Men Amazing X-Men Astonishing X-Men (Whedon) Cable Excalibur New Excalibur New Mutants New X-Men Nightcrawler Spider-Man and the X-Men Uncanny X-Men War of Kings Wolverine Wolverine and the X-Men X-Men X-Men: GoldNotable Storylines Days of Future Past Days of Future Present Fatal Attractions Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix X-Men: Phoenix (1999-2000) X-Men: True Friends (1999): co-stars with Kitty Pryde X-Men: Deadly Genesis Avengers vs. X-Men Battle of the AtomAnimated Series X-Men (1990s)Video Games X-Men: Battle of the Atom: an iPad game.

| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_19b6f396 | comment |
Alternate Timeline: The universe she is from, Earth-811, was originally one of the possible Bad Futures of Earth-616, but was later retconned into being a completely Alternate Universe that paralleled Earth-616 (except for a few details revolving Jean Grey's relationship to the Phoenix Force) up to Senator Kelly's assassination. | |

Spikes of Villainy | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_2c7905cf | comment |
Spikes of Villainy: Originally, Rachel's Hound uniform was depicted as black with metal studs around the neck and wrists, down her front, and along the outside of her arms and legs. Her Excalibur catsuit was an adaptation of this: red with spikes instead of studs, and none on the legs. Alan Davis consistently drew the black studded uniform in flashbacks, but other artists instead put Rachel in the very same red. The outfit mix-up may have started with Days of the Future Present, where Rachel refers to her costume as her "Hound uniform" even though it's really a variation. | |

Facial Markings | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_465780af | comment |
Facial Markings: Her Hound marks are almost always tattoos but sometimes scars, depending on the writer/artist. A Phoenix emblem flared up over her left eye during her Marvel Girl years when she used her powers (even when she didn't have the Phoenix Force fragment). Her Hound marks are concealed telepathically, but she drops the illusion when she wants to be more intimidating. Or when she's too pissed off to concentrate on it. | |

Drill Sergeant Nasty: To an extent as a teacher at the Jean Grey School during Wolverine and the X-Men to the point of being being noticeably grumpier than usual. Then again, if you had to teach Kid Gladiator and keep Omega class teenage rebel and generalised irritating little twit Quentin Quire in check, you'd wind up more than a little annoyed. | |

Awesomeness by Analysis | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_73733868 | comment |
Awesomeness by Analysis: During one of Excalibur's stops on the Cross-Time Caper, Rachel temporarily burns out her powers (causing the team to be temporarily stranded, since her powers are what allowed them to jump between universes). In the meantime, she's able to fight instead by copying Kitty Pryde's ninja skills. Kitty never taught Rachel any of those skills, she was simply able to duplicate them by watching Kitty use them. Once. | |

Made a Slave: Her childhood and adolescence were spent as a Hound, a brainwashed and tortured slave of an oppressive government. And again, after she came back from the dead, courtesy of Elias Bogan. Mind Rape was also involved. The X-Men at least managed to save her that time, though it did alter the look of Rachel's powers. | |

Mind Rape | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_8a4988bb | comment |
Mind Rape: Unusually susceptible to this, especially considering her powers and their scale - though, in fairness, the perpetrators are usually enormously powerful beings like Selene, Elias Bogan, Maddie Pryor, and Emma Frost (who noted that the only reason she could do it was because Rachel was all raw power and no skill). Her background and conditioning as a Hound might have something to do with it. It has also diminished considerably as she got telepathic lessons from Emma Frost. She's also more than capable of dishing this out, as Quentin Quire found out when he tried to taunt her by bringing up her memories of her horrific childhood. The result was Quire getting a Psychic Nosebleed and keeling over about two seconds later. | |

The Phoenix | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_952bcf83 | comment |
The Phoenix: She kept the motif even after ditching the actual cosmic critter itself. Rachel's connection with the Phoenix isn't in a constant state of retcon like her mother's; she and the Phoenix were merged for years, then separated via a fairly complicated (though simple by Summers/Grey family standards) Time Travel storyline. She also never went Dark Phoenix like Jean, despite generally being more the hot-tempered of the two, but she came close to it a couple of times. | |

Not So Different: Gets one of these from Galactus in Excalibur, since overextending her Phoenix powers shortens the lifespan of the universe. Unusually for this trope it actually does give her a new perspective on Gally. | |

| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_9cb5e4bb | comment |
Evil Costume Switch: Subverted in Excalibur. She eventually ditches her original spiked red bodysuit (which was based on her Hound costume) and settles for the blood-red ensemble of Dark Phoenix. But she's not pulling a Face–Heel Turn; she just prefers these colours over "Light" Phoenix's costume. "[Dark Phoenix] might have been a threat to the universe... but she had great taste in clothes!" | |

Scaled Up | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_a675997a | comment |
Scaled Up: An infamous heroic example; during a 2005 trip to the Savage Land, she was brainwashed by a telepathic member of a race of lizard people into believing herself to be one of them. Because of the strength and fine-control of her telekinesis, her body started gradually morphing into a lizard-woman. Once she snapped out of it, she reversed the change in the space of a single issue. Aside from occasional jokes, it has been quietly ignored ever since. | |

Ms. Fanservice | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_b032e4ed | comment |
Ms. Fanservice: When she disappeared in Uncanny X-Men, Rachel was a stick-thin tomboy who usually wore gym clothes. When she reappeared in Excalibur, she had a much more developed "movie-star" figure (as she had spent time in the Mojo Universe) and wore a skintight, stiletto-heeled, spike-studded, red leather catsuit when on duty, and as little as possible off duty. This was followed by a Dangerously Short Skirt during her Marvel Girl days. She's toned it down since she came back from space, but she still looks like a younger (or older, what with the appearance of Teen Jean, who Rachel has dubbed 'Baby Momma') version of her famously drop dead gorgeous mother and still has a tendency towards tight clothing. Lampshaded at one point during Exaclibur when she and Kitty go shopping, dissatisfied with the conservative suit and pumps Kitty picks out for her she uses her powers to re-arrange Kitty's outfit to resemble something Rachel normally wears. Kitty immediately thinks that she looks like a hooker. | |

Fiery Redhead: Not only does she fit the personality trope, but she also happened to manifest her powers in the form of giant birds made of fire when she was Phoenix Force Avatar. She still displays a non-Phoenix fiery aura these days. | |

So Proud of You | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_bc37d80d | comment |
So Proud of You: Rachel has been on the receiving end of several of these: In the third issue of "Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix", after discovering Rachel is still mind-linked to Nathan, struggling to protect her brother despite being in a coma herself, Scott stays beside her bed and states he's proud of being her father: When they meet again after Grant Morrison's run, Cyclops reiterates she makes Jean and him proud◊. | |

Mindlink Mates | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_c05de85d | comment |
Mindlink Mates: Siblings example. She created a psi-bond with Cable shortly after his birth. It is unknown if that link still exists, however. Of a sort with Korvus - she absorbed the power of his Phoenix Blade and it led to a mental connection and them dating, as well as influencing her personality for the darker. In the end, Rachel recognised this and broke up with him, presumably breaking the link too (though her mother taking back the Phoenix fragment she absorbed might also have been behind it), though they remained on good terms. | |

MostCommonSuperpower | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_cffd71bd | comment |
Most Common Superpower: Originally averted: in her first appearances, Rachel was skinny, flat-chested and rather unattractive, since she came from a concentration camp, being explicitly compared to a Holocaust victim by Wolverine (who, having served in WWII, would know). Of course, she filled out eventually (which, considering that her mother's vast power-set includes the Most Common Superpower, is not exactly surprising) - something helped by her visit to the Mojoverse's Body Shoppe. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Rachel Summers (Comic Book) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: A metric ton's worth with Kitty Pryde. One issue has her being heartbroken over Kitty being... together with a just-back-from-the-dead Colossus. Chris Claremont, creator of both characters, enthusiastically fanned the flames by saying that Rachel was actually the love of Kitty's life. It is possible that he meant this in a Platonic Life-Partners sense, but considering that this is the same man who codified the Mystique/Destiny relationship and tried to reveal Nightcrawler as their son, with Mystique having transformed into a man to impregnate Destiny, it seems unlikely. One issue has a brief moment between her and Nightcrawler... which didn't get mentioned again or go anywhere for 12 years. Letters to the editor have noted that their recent romance seemed to come out of nowhere. | |
