Who said I didn't believe Mother Askani was Rachel? She is, like Kang is Immortus. But she's also NOT...like Kang ISN'T Immortus.

And, actually, MOST of the alternate Kang identities ARE Kang, just at different points in his life (Immortus being the exception as we've literally SEEN them being physically ripped into two separate beings). They aren't separate entities, just one entity with an extremely confusing chronology.

As for Age of X, we have pages for the same reason we have House of M pages: What we SAW was not an illusion, but an alternate reality overlayed on 616 (something the Moira personality specifically said was her ability). Something helped by Revelation being a physically separate being. And with Bishop, I'd compare that to Rachel Summers/Mother Askani.

Marvel Girl, on the other hand, is just a continuation of Rachel's continuity if Mother Askani had never happened. The Mother Askani thing, much like the AoA Bishop thing, lifts right out without damaging the history or confusing matters (actually, it makes things MORE confusing to leave it in, as you're suddenly confronted with a character losing decades of their life). Kang, on the other hand, goes back and forth between identities (we know of at least two distinct periods where he was Rama-Tut, in one a dictator who battled the Fantastic Four, and in another, a benevolent ruler who actively aided the Avengers). Not to mention, with Kang, you often have the identities crossing over and battling each other (Kang/Immortus, Kang/Rama-Tut, Kang/Iron Lad), so you'd end up actively having to describe a battle from both sides. With Rachel, there's no confusing meet-ups with past selves.

And what group are you catering to? Who else supports this? If it's just you, then it's not a group, it's just your personal preference.
