| She also has her own mutant power, the ability to project her own or someone else's astral self through time, as she did to Kate Pryde, a future version of Shadowcat , whose astral self was sent back to our time to warn the X-Men of the "Days of Future Past," a dark future that would occur if Senator Robert Kelly were to be assassinated. All of these powers were amplified tremendously when Rachel merged with the Phoenix Force , allowing her to time-jump back to the twentieth century from the Sentinel-controlled future where she was born. |
| Rachel was found by Selene who sensed her power, but luckily was rescued by the X-Men, whom she joined. She revealed her identity to them soon after, but kept it a secret from her "father" Cyclops for a long time. Rachel soon accessed the power of Phoenix and took that name, but then went off on a quest for vengeance to kill Selene, who had already tried to enslave her a second time. Wolverine went to stop her, and stabbed her through the heart with his claws. |
| Dying, Rachel was approached by Spiral , who offered to save her life in return for signing a contract with Mojo . Rachel agreed and became a slave to the TV-crazed madman. After forming Excalibur following her escape from Mojoworld, Rachel finally managed to get back to the future she had come from. While she couldn't change her past, she and her teammates were able to change the directives of all the Sentinels of the era to preserve all life, thereby ending the genocide that had prevailed for years. |
| On the way back to our time, however, Captain Britain was lost in the timestream and Rachel was eventually forced to switch places with him, because she really didn't belong in our time, anyway. She emerged from the timestream about 1900 years in the future and formed the Clan Askani , which was responsible for bringing her brother Nathan to their time to fight Apocalypse . |
| However, since the recent defeat of Apocalypse in the present has apparently negated Cable's entire timeline, Rachel did not ever become the head of the Askani. Instead, she telepathically communicated with Nathan from the end of time, where she was being held prisoner by the despot named Gaunt. Cable traveled to the end of time to save his "sister" and defeated Gaunt in single combat to win her freedom. Upon arrival back in our time, Rachel chose to keep her return secret, and asked Cable to do the same. She went to college, but has recently become intrigued by the group "Students Against Mutants" and is trying to find out how it fits in with her brother being hunted by various agencies. |
