Bard, in the comics it has been shown that Rachel is the result of Scott and Jean...Yes, Claremont wanted Phoenix to asexually produce Rachel, but it didn't happen that way...

Yes, Rachel is a "clone" of Jean.


And I don't really want to see any Jean clones.

But I like Rachel's interaction between her teammates in Excalibur, so I'll keep her as an exception to me "not wanting clones." :)
