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. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
