Shortly after that, the government laid siege to the X-Mansion and she saw them shoot Professor X dead right in front of her.

* TheAce: Aside from PsychicPowers on par with her legendary mother, if not stronger (though thanks to her Hound conditioning, she's notably vulnerable to MindControl), she's a time manipulator capable of leaving her brothers in the dust, and was so good at handling the power of the Phoenix despite her phenomenally DarkAndTroubledPast (it's comparable to ''Magneto's'') that the entity itself recognised this and granted her full control over its power, believing she would use it more wisely than it would. As she once points out with a smirk, after nicking some of the power of Korvus Rookshir's 'Phoenix Sword', "the Phoenix likes me."
* AdaptationalModesty: Her costume as Marvel Girl displayed her abs throughout much of the 2000s. Her subsequent uniforms tended to forget this and were full-body outfits.
* AllianceWithAnAbomination: This is usually the status of a Phoenix Host, so long as they've got a strong enough will to stay in control. The tension tends to derive from the fact that the Phoenix a) is volatile, b) is operating on BlueAndOrangeMorality, and c) usually has its own aims in mind. Given that it's a force of both creation and destruction, it can be an ally or an antagonist. Some hosts handle it better than others -- [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]] actually does pretty well, most of the time, but it's her daughter, [[Characters/XMen80sMembers Rachel Summers]], who takes the cake, with the Phoenix actually giving her full use of all of its power, deeming her judgement superior to its own.

* ArchEnemy: Rachel has the Beyonder, Ahab and Selene. Rachel made multiple attempts to kill the Beyonder because he was a threat to the multiverse, but the Beyonder made things personal when he gave Rachel a portion of his power, and proceeded to threaten the lives or her friends just to test her. Eventually, Rachel delved into HeWhoFightsMonsters territory and nearly destroyed the universe to free it from the Beyonder's influence. Ahab, on the other hand, was the man who turned her into a Hound, and after she escaped he fixated on getting her back. She's also gone up against Selene a few times and is a thematic Foil (Rachel's a young woman from the future and Selene's an ancient evil). Then there are the Shi'ar Death Commandoes. 'Nuff said.
%%* BattleAura: Rachel Summers, future daughter of AlternateUniverse Jean and [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Scott Summers]], [[https://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Phoenix-Rachel-Summers-Excalibur-Marvel-Comics-h2.jpg "Baby" Phoenix.]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: Rachel and Korvus. Both wield the power of the Phoenix Force and both had their families murdered by the Shi'ar in a needlessly brutal fashion in order to wipe out potential Phoenix hosts.
* BulletDodgesYou: After thwarting a plot to murder [[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Xavier]] after his secret is discovered by a group of anti-mutant bigots, one of the villains tries to shoot Rachel Summers, who uses her telekinesis to grab the bullet and redirect it at the shooter. Then the bullet freezes just in front of his head, having been caught by [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]], who refuses to let Rachel become a murderer like himself. The bullet just hovers in front of the now-terrified assassin's face while they push against each other, until Magneto manages to talk Rachel down.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: She is able to change into multiple outfits within a matter of seconds as due to her Phoenix powers, she can alter the molecules of her costumes at a whim. She has also done this with multiple other people's clothes at the same time, when the X-Men need to become inconspicuous by changing into civilian clothes. However, she almost collapsed from the effort because at the time she didn't have Phoenix powers, just "ordinary" telekinesis.
* ComboPlatterPowers: Rachel Summers is a massively powerful telepath and telekinetic, and sometimes called 'the One True Phoenix'. Additionally, she's a [[TimeMaster Chronokinetic]] of awe-inspiring power, being the one behind Kate Pryde's mental time travel in ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast''. She also later used this power to send Scott and Jean to the future on their honeymoon to raise baby [[Characters/MarvelComicsCable Cable]], and one future self became Mother Askani, matriarch of the Clan Askani, a bunch of weird, predominantly female psychics who pretty much wrote the book on psychic time travel, and even later used it as part of the famous 'Cross-time caper' story in ''{{ComicBook/Excalibur|MarvelComics}}'', which involved the titular team bouncing around a lot of alternate timelines.

* TheDreaded: Rachel's reputation is an extension of her mother's, for the most part, thanks to in-depth connection to the Phoenix. However, she also expands the reputation on her vengeful rampage in Shi'ar space after her family was massacred.

* MostCommonSuperpower: Originally averted: in her first appearances, Rachel was skinny, flat-chested flat-chested, and rather unattractive, since she came from a concentration camp, being explicitly compared to a Holocaust victim by Wolverine (who, having served in WWII, would know). Of course, she filled out eventually (which, considering that her mother's vast power-set includes the MostCommonSuperpower, is not exactly surprising) - something helped by her visit to the Mojoverse's Body Shoppe.
* MsFanservice: When she disappeared in ''Uncanny X-Men'', Rachel was a stick-thin tomboy who usually wore gym clothes. When she reappeared in ''Excalibur'', she had a much more developed "movie-star" figure (as she had spent time in the Mojo Universe) and wore a skintight, stiletto-heeled, spike-studded, red leather catsuit when on duty, and as little as possible off duty. This was followed by a skirt during her Marvel Girl days.
