It's even worse than that.... If Jean/Phoenix is really just a
simulacrum of Jean/Marvel Girl, *is* Rachel the daughter of
Jean/Grey at all?  or is she the daughter of Scott and the
Phoenix?  If she is, is she human (OK, mutant)??  Not to mention,
since Madelyne *isn't* Jean Grey, why is Rachel
upset that her first child should be a boy?  It
wouldn't be possible for Rachel to be born of the union of Maddy
and Scott anyhow, since the genes aren't the same.  And when
Chris Claremont says Rachel is "her mother's daughter, she has
the Phoenix power," (from Kathy Smith's article), does he really
mean that Phoenix, not Jean, was Rachel's mother?  Is Rachel
going to discover that Jean Grey isn't her mom, but Phoenix is?
Are we being set up for the biggest hysterical fit of all time
(when Ray meets Jean, Jean meets Maddy, and hell breaks loose?)

The mind boggles.
