In her first appearance, the character's surname was not revealed;[1] in later appearances, she was established as the daughter of the alternate future counterparts to Cyclops and Jean Grey-Summers from the dystopian Days of Future Past timeline. Although there are other characters bearing her name throughout the multiverse, she herself is considered a multiversal anomaly with no true alternate-universe counterparts.[2]
The character is a mutant with similar abilities to her mother, including telepathy, telekinesis, and a connection to the Phoenix, the latter of which was represented in her adoption of the Phoenix title after her mother's apparent death. Throughout her publication history, she has also been referred to by the monikers Marvel Girl, Rachel Grey, Prestige, and Mother Askani.
