I go with Rachel. She's a bit, er, "off" now, but when she's on, I don't think there's anyone that can really touch her. Think about it: she has unlimited TP and TK like Jean. Crazy stuff has to happen to her, or else they couldn't use her in the X-books.
well considering emma easily beat her, and storm almost beat her when she wasn't even trying i'd say that she isn't. the old rachel might be, but she is now not the same. not i'd say it's probably between psylock, polaris and storm.
Like I've said before, Claremont obviously has plans for Rachel. There's way too much craziness going on with her for this to be her character permanently. And one can never go by who's beaten whom before. That only matters to a particular story. Galactus is pretty close to the top of the food chain, and he's gotten his ass handed to him several times. That's irrelevant anyway. You asked who is most powerful, not who always comes out on top. Not too long before that, Rachel created a localized black hole and closed it. Rachel can deconstruct any of the other women with but a thought. No one else comes close to that level of power. Regardless of battles, Rachel has the most power.
no, rachel didn't create the black hole, storm, rachel, wolverine, sage, and boshop created it. they all created it together, rachel couldn't have on her own. at her power-level now there are others that are more powerful
Rachel did create it on her own. The other's helped her maintain control, but it was her power that created it. None of the others had power to create it, but they did have power to help her control and maintain it.
At her power level now? What is her power level now? Her current power is TK on a subatomic level, subconsciously at that. Even when she lost to Emma, she says that her power is off the charts. Let's also not forget that only omega TPs are able to access the Phoenix, which Rachel has. Her power really has no limit. You're referring to her state of mind, not her power. The amount and strength of her power isn't in doubt now. Her mental faculty is.
There are maybe 7-10 mutants (at most) whose power rivals Rachel's: one is her mother, two are her brothers, one is her future husband, and one is her future son.
Rachels power levels are currently going up & down so its a bad time to be rating her... its almost certainly the set up for one of Claremonts fabled long-simmering subplots.
So Rachel is really a contender, but in her condition now... who knows...

I don't know that it's so much fluctuation as much as it is application and use, Fiery. Take Betsy: she could punch a hole through a brick wall, but couldn't pick up a dime on the same page. That's not a fluctation of power. And Marvel's stated that Rachel has the same power levels as Jean sans Phoenix, which means that she is an omega TP/TK.
i'd say storm has a broad spectrum of powers that makes her the most powerful (not including jean), though that doesnt neccessarily mean she couldnt have her ass handed to her by some of the others...
rachel still has ways to go...
emma imo is the most dangerous of the x-women atm...
