20. RACHEL GREY
First Appearance: UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #141
Joined the X-Men: UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #188
Why She’s #20: “Rachel survived a dystopian future, mastered a force that consumed and destroyed her mother, was lost in time and space on multiple occasions, and endured torture in Mojoworld. There is no reason for her not to run for the hills and never look back. However, she does not. Instead, she embraces her name and her lineage, stands tall, and teaches the next generation of mighty mutants at a school that bears the name of her mother: the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Hers is a story of accepting the bad but refusing to be broken by it.” – Tim Stevens
