Marvel's Super Offspring

Rachel was included on Marvel's Take 10: Super Offspring List. Selected by The Secret Cabal (umm, aka a bunch of assistant editors and interns), each week Marvel highlights the best of Marvel.

The week, it was the children of Marvel characters, and the Summers kids overall did very well. Nate Grey was #10 and Nathan Summers came in #1 (the Secret Cabal are Cable fans). Rachel came in at #5:
5. RACHEL SUMMERS
First Appearance: X-MEN v1 #141 (1981)
Learn More About Herhere
Family Tree: Cyclops (Scott Summers, alternate reality father), Jean Grey (alternate reality mother), Cable (alternate reality half-brother)
Why She Makes The List: "X-Fans always wanted Cyclops and Jean Grey to have a kid, so what could go wrong once they (kinda) did? Plenty. Rachel Summers was born in a dystopian future, trained as a "hound" to hunt down her own kind and never got the chance to really know her parents. Then she came back to our time to find her father re-married and her mother supposedly dead. Despite all this hardship, she became a founding member of Excalibur, where she found redemption and a family. Years later and the hits keep coming—she's trapped in space at the moment fighting her evil uncle Vulcan—but she continues to be a beacon of hope." – Secret Cabal member RunawayJ
