Okay, so Rachel has another run in with Selena.  I'll get to this
in a minute.  We get to learn a little more about Rachel.  I thought
the comment about "I swore I'd never wear a collar again" was 
pretty intense (especially since she went ahead and wore it).  We
got to see Magma, which was good, since we haven't seen much of
her in NM lately.  Now, don your asbestos...

Goddammit!  Why doesn't Xavier let Magma (or anyone else, for that
matter) kill that witch?  She is Dangerous, with big D.  Maybe
we're supposed to see that she can be easily overcome by the
way Nightcrawler took her out (he'd never kill, the wimp.  If
it were me, "Gee, Chuck, I musta pinched her a little too hard.
I didn't mean to make her head fall off.  Oh, well.").  I suppose
that's the point, that Rachel had a little trouble, but that
Selena is now match for those Uncanny X-Men.  I still think she
should be taken out, however.

Another interesting thing is Rachel's TK powers.  They seem pretty
formidable.  I'm not sure if they were mentioned before.  If
her TK is that good, I can 't imagine her having been in such
a bad state in the 21st century, but maybe I can, so don't flame
at me about it.  What you can flame about is whether her TK is
inheritted from Jean Gray or Phoenix, since I don't seem to remember
Jean having much natural ability in the way of TK.  I'm starting
to think that the Phoenix force is going to come back through
her in #200.
