Favorite Female Character: A Ray of Sunshine

[auggie18]

Rachel Grey-Summers is an interesting character. Alternate reality daughter of Scott Summers and Jean Grey, Rachel's had a tough life and she's got the scars to prove it. Still, she's a tough cookie and definitely someone you don't want to mess with.


A brain-washed Wolverine tries to get Rachel to use Cerebro to kill the president, threatening to use a bomb to destroy the school if she doesn't. Rachel shows Wolverine why putting a powerful psychic into a machine that increases her powers in order to get her to do what you want is a bad idea.







Also, Rachel is someone you want after a disaster. Or during one, really.






It's no secret that I hated AvX, but Rachel had an incredibly bad-ass scene during it.




It kinda reminds me of the time she beat up Alpha Flight. I have the whole thing somewhere, but I could only find one page online.



Also, this.




Oh, Rachel. That's probably pretty insensitive to all those broccoli people the Phoenix killed.

Whatever, you look awesome.

Hard to fault your choice of character, but please shrink the image above the cut to our usual 400x300 limit.

Thanks

And seriously Steve, could you BE any more patronising there?

[akodo_rokku]

He probably could, yes.

(Steve has a lot of great qualities. Not being patronizing is not one of them.)

There we go.

+50 for well, Rachel.
-25 for AvX (not touching that with a ten foot pole as a fan of both teams, thanks, and besides it's starting to get stale after all this time. Let it crawl back into its own dark, dank, bottomless pit).
+ 10 for classic Alpha Flight!
+100 for Excalibur and GLORIOUS, glorious Alan Davis art.

I first met Rachel in the pages of Excalibur, where she was always excellent. Even with a history this screwy, I still love the character.

(Wait, "Don't call me Marvel Girl!"? Is she Phoenix again, or calling herself something else?)

But green is every redheads colour!

I wish Marvel would give Rachel her own book. She's such an interesting, complicated character. Is it possible to give series names and issue numbers? If it isn't, I understand.

Rachel is one of my most beloved characters. She's a wonderful character (and my tiny child self first engaged in shipping with Rachel and Kitty).
