Another comment on Rachel: have she and "our" Scott met?  He (and Madeline)
haven't been around at all since Rachel showed up, though we've seen a
scene or two of them off in Alaska.  How will Scott (never the most stable
of fellows) deal with the sudden appearance of a child he never fathered
with the dead woman he's trying to forget (think about it...)  Better yet,
how will Madeline, who keeps having to prove to the X-people that she's
NOT Jean, deal with this "stepdaughter".  

I agree that they haven't done much with Rachel yet, but I bet it's a "time
bomb"; possibly tying into the return of Phoenix/Jean that seems to be
in the wings.  We shall see...

One other thing - in the future, Rachel and Franklin Richards are also
married/lovers (I don't remember which).  But in this past, Rachel's
an adult, while Franklin's hardly more than a baby.  Have they met?
Were their age differences as big in Rachel's future, or did Franklin
pull one of his "I wish I could grow up" stunts somewhere along the line?
Hmm. Anyway, we should have some sympathy for Rachel.  The poor woman's
got a lot to adjust to, and insanity seems to run in the family :-)
