Isn’t Rachel shown in the Cover of House of X #3, (with Archangel and Monet)......Or is that Hope (another Red Head who isn’t Jean, as Jean is on the foreground with Wolverine and Cyclops)?

Yeah, you’d think Rachel would be harder to control, not even easier than her kinda Mother (Jean would always be this until the Day editorial let’s Rachel be be introduced in the 616 Time Line ) but noooooo, Jean is mostly hard to mind control (unless it’s AoX) while Rachel gets mental dominated .....
And that is saying something. I mean Hawkeye made jokes about that.
Just read the latest X-Force and part of me hopes they fix the mindcontrol stuff real quick, but another part worries about her being written out again to become the Askani mother again or another excuse for that. And I would not be a fan of something like that.
Do we know this to be certain? I couldn't find a source for this. I am curious about who this character is. I am fine with it being Husk but my thoughts were either Hope or Rachel.
Hopefully soon we'll see where Rachel lands at the end of X-force. I hope she is cured of all this hound programming and manipulation.
Well currently the X-Men psionics are Jean, Rachel, Betsy, the Cuckoos, Xi'an, and Dani. It would likely be in that order in terms of raw power, but given the way Rachel has been written she is less skilled than all of them (while we know it's not true the writer's have presented us with crap).
As for Selene, she was resurrected twice now (once literally in X-Men, and then figuratively in Avengers). She was brought back in a book Rachel was starring in, so there was fan hype. But in story Rachel and Storm went to confront Maddie and Selene and Rachel was instantly ko-ed by a tp bomb via Maddie. Cuz, you know, she has no shields and is unskilled. But in their previous confrontation Rachel was able to expunge Selene while making out with Red Lotus.
I don't know what they can do with the remaining 3 issues since it's clear that she's STILL a slave to Stryfe's Krang-Squad in the series finale solicits (10). So unless she is freed in the beginning of issue 10 (unlikely), she will not have any type of redemption. She'll either die a slave, be freed at the 11th hour and go back to the present, or be freed and remain in the future to be Mother Askani (because she has all the memories and skills on how to do that and also NOT mess up the timeline by doing so). So likely we'll be served hot garbage with a side of ugh fries.
Yeah, after I had all the solicitations for X-Force and realized Rachel was going to be a mindless slave right to the end I figured they were going to kill her off or write her off. They don't want us to get invested in her as a character, that's why they aren't giving her any agency at all in X-Force. If she appears in HoX/PoX it is going to be as a flashback from when she was in Excalibur and nothing more. I expect her to be gone from the line after X-Force ends.
