The psychic mutants that are on the Omega list all had externally triggered power-ups, before coming into their own. Rachels had her time with the elite, but now it seems she isn't even a top tier psychic on Krakoa. She's no longer requested as a telepathic resource and it seems has no additional skills than psychics like Monet. I wonder if she needs an external trigger to get her to the next level. Maybe becoming a cyborg, with a black brain... Are you happy with Rachel's current powerset and skill levels?
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
I diasgree. Leah has made it a point to highlight Rachel's chronoskiming ability which was largely forgotten about by modern writers. She may not be an Omega but I don't think this new era has diminshed her in comparison to lets say X-Men Gold did.
If anything Betsy and Psylocke were hit with the nerf stick.
See below but I think that she has gotten some highlights with her chronoskimming and abilities in X-Factor and Cable, but as a whole she's ignored in the line except to be a connector to Cable. I'm not shocked given how chaotic her representation has been prior, but it's still suboptimal. And I would love to see her be used more in conjunction with others, like when Jean needs tp backup she calls on Rachel (instead of the Cuckoos) or something. But the reality is that as a whole other telepaths have been highlighted over her for years so she isn't as thought of.
Yeah, which isn't the worst thing for Psylocke, but for Betsy yes.
We've seen it before. In fact, I really liked the concept of what Leah and David did which was make her houndmarks only appear when she's using her telepathy or powers vs always on her face.
need Phoenix saved from Jason Aaron he is the one with the power to do what Hope and Scarlet Witch could never hope to do truly destroy the Phoenix.
