Rachel Summers / Askani / Bright Lady 2024 Appreciation

[Havok83]

With the exception of Jean, Rachel has interacted with her family more in Future Fight this past month than she has the entire Krakoa era

Oh. My. God. Per Dead X-Men #1, Rachel has a new costume that actually looks good.

Rachel needs to return to her own timeline as its guardian. Also, I never understood why she was paired up with Betsy Braddock, which makes no sense whatsoever. A good match would be Angela.....

Rachel is the Guardian of all Timelines as Askani right now. So she's already doing that and more while having an impact and important role right now.

As for why she's with Betsy, they have lots in common outside of being kickass telepaths. They've had similar experiences of mental and physical changes at the hands of madmen, imprisonment, sacrifice, and are chose to bond and connect over those and other similarities. But it's OK this relationship isn't for you, many of us support it.

And Angela has a wife already so she's good.

Why would she? The DOFP is an apocalyptic future where everyone she knew is dead and tehre is alot of trauma and PTSD associated with it bc she was enslaved as a hound. What would she honestly be returning to? She has no attachment to there and its pretty much a dead end timeline that is no longer structured to sustain an actual meaningful life

Her entire adult life has been spent in 616. She's developed friends, a family that has accepted her. She's found love, has purpose and has finally healed from alot of her trauma. It makes no sense for her to give this up to go back to DOFP

Agreed, and the guardian of the timeline aspect has now made it's way to the present. She's starting to step into that destiny in the here and now.

Thank you so much!!! I think it's a little simple compared with Betsy, what do you think?

You're welcome! Yeah it's a bit simple but I wonder if there's another piece to it (a cloak or something) that she's not wearing here. I don't know why but I feel like there might be another layer that goes on top.

[Nicoclaws]

It's lacking either volume with a cloak or a big robe, or spikes, in my opinion.

[Havok83]

That costume resembles Trinary's NM costume to me

It's lacking either volume with a cloak or a big robe, or spikes, in my opinion.

Or an X emblem

[Askani's Flame]

Is it just me or does this new Moira giving nuAhab vibez? Nothing says Rachel like a nemesis with a pegleg.

Rachel's new costume is at best meh AFAIC... At least it doesn't have gold shoulder spikes
