Thank you for responding. Three, not two, of those characters have a very clear, linear timeline with one small bump in the road. Don't forget that Mother Askani WAS Rachel for quite a while. Let's look at the timeline, in '91, she took Nathan into the future, in '94, the original Rachel disappeared, in '94, she was revealed as the same person. She died in '94 and the other Rachel wasn't introduced, until the end of 2000. So, simply because a certain writer wasn't ready to kill Rachel, he made a story that she split. Looking at a calendar, we thought that, like Cable, this mysterious woman that was introduced prior, was the fate of Rachel for almost a decade. If you believe that Marvel Girl is Rachel, then why wouldn't you believe Mother Askani is also?

Captain Britain was trapped in the timestream and Rachel Summers was a time anomaly, so he continued to try and use her to come back. Eventually, Rachel decided to allow him to return, by switching places, and she was lost in the timestream. Think of this as Kang the Conqueror. Each time the same Nathaniel Richards (Earth-6311) went into a different timestream, he created a different being, with the same memories, to a point (Ex: Kang the Conqueror, Rama-Tut, Scarlet Centurion, Immortus, and Iron Lad). None of them are the same as the original Nathaniel once they end-up in a different time. The X-Men: Phoenix Force Handbook just put the new Marvel Girl's bio in there because there are no more Rachels and they don't abide by the Naming Conventions rules that we do.

Here on this wiia, we seem to give EVERYONE that has a separate version a page, even when it is the same person. Artful Dodger once argued with me that we needed the Age of Apocalypse Bishop, even though it was just the regular Bishop in another dimension. He said that we need to give justice to the other "character" and their costumes. We have a separate page for EVERYONE that wen to the Age of X, knowing full-well that they were the same people, literally sucked into Legion's mind. There will never be an Earth designation for that universe because Marvel has told us it was an illusion.

There is also a problem of too much info for one Rachel. The group that I cater to wants to know details of their characters. I struggle with keeping as many important instances as I can without overloading the bio and giving Marvel Girl her own page helps with that.

If we consider Kang and all his counterparts different characters, while giving the same Bishop his own page, and don't want an overload of info, then we should create a page for Marvel Girl.
