The turkey coat is much better than these massive wrist bands. She could whack dem without using TK lol
Honestly the trench coat look is a keeper. Jean looked good in it and so did Rachel.
I don't get it in the first one, and it took me a bit of time staring at this ugly ass cover to realize that in this she has created TK blades that she is using to hack at these tentacles (at least that is what I am imagining). But yeah, the artist has made her look pretty fug on both covers thus far.
To piggy off the last poster - clearly he uses his TK to hold the T-O virus at bay. At this age it's what his TK primarily is always doing in the background. We saw him extend that to pull the virus back into him in X-Force from Aliyah.
As for TP, he's only used it sparingly in the books as again, he wasn't heavily reliant on it at this age. I believe that he spoke to Rachel telepathically initially when she was crushing Stryfe, and then he needed Rachel's finesse to help him erase Stryfe's memories. So he's "used" it but not a whole lot.
She has, just not in her most recent outfits. The Marvel Girl and X-Jammer costumes both had the X belt on them. But the majority of Rachel's outfits have been one-piece outfits (Her first Phoenix costume, red hound Phoenix, Dark Phoenix, Prestige, Dark Prestige).
I was rereading Phoenix Resurrection were Yu had the chance to draw Rachel.
I think he did a good job, he is so cool on interiors but his cover are so empty.
I hope he does his best on the actual book.

Those X-men covers are killing my excitement for the book. I like Cyclops and love Rachel but I don't want an entire arc about the Summers (ew Kid Cable and Vulcan). Yu's covers are really not good. We were spoiled with Larraz and RB Silva.
I'm glad Rachel is on the main book and with her Summers/Grey family.
Remember during the Reload era when an editor actually wrote in the Letter page that they didn't want Rachel and Jean to be around at the same time? We've come along way!
I hope we get a Rachel variant by Jay Anacleto or Artgerm for X-Men 1.
There will be one Artgem variant but it is already revealed to be about Jean
