Marvel Comics/Prestige

**Prestige** (Rachel Anne "Ray" Summers) is a mutant daughter of Cyclops and Jean Grey from Earth-811, also known as the "Days of Future Past". In her home reality, Prestige was a student of the Xavier Institute and a member of the New Mutants.

## Powers and Abilities

Prestige is a mutant and the daughter of the Phoenix. She inherited enormous psionic powers from her mother. She has developed an electric blue Phoenix emblem energy signature that appears over her left eye whenever she uses her powers. According to Jat Vor-Thrul, Prestige measures a 9-Tau-9 on the Kiatna Psi-Scale. She is one of the most powerful psychics in the entire universe.

**Telepathy:** Prestige is a powerful telepath similar to her mother. She can read and detect thoughts on various scales, as well as project her thoughts into the minds of other sentient beings within a vast, potentially limitless, radius. After fully recognizing her true potential, she started reaching new levels of telepathic power, capable of interacting with and perceiving minds from thousands of miles away with ease. Storm once stated that Prestige's telepathy had grown to such an extent that "her psionic powers radiated off of her, to the extent in which others could feel her powerful presence within their minds". From years of training and telepathic tutelage, she has demonstrated the following specialized uses:

* **Telepathic Cloaking:** Prestige can mask her presence from being detected by others. Her abilities can, at times, go undetected or be counteract by other, more powerful, telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psionic abilities. She can extend these defenses to others around her as well.
* **Mental Healing:** She has the ability to heal mental trauma through "psychic surgery". With this method, she can stimulate or deaden the pain and pleasure centers in the person's brain that are associated with particular memories.
* **Mind Control:** She has the ability to control the minds of others upon mere concentration.
* **Psychic Shields:** She can erect psychic shields for the protection of herself and of others' minds.
* **Mind Transferal:** She can transfer both her mind and powers into other host bodies should her own physical body be somehow destroyed.
* **Power Augmentation:** She can increase the speed of neural synapses, allowing her to increase another's powers to incredible levels. This effect is temporary.
* **Illusion Casting:** Prestige has the ability to create illusions to make herself seem to be invisible, look like someone else, or make others experience events that are not truly happening.
* **Paralysis Inducement:** She can induce temporary mental or physical paralysis.
* **Memory Erasure:** She can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia.
* **Psychic Blasts:** Prestige can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain, unconsciousness, or even death.
* **Astral Projection:** Prestige can project her astral form from her body onto astral or physical planes. In the physical plane, she can only travel in astral form over short distances. She can communicate astrally through her own will or through contact with the thoughts and memories of others.
	+ **Astral Manipulation:** In the astral plane, she can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate aspects of her environment.
* **Psychic Detection:** Prestige can sense the presence of another superhuman mutant within a small, but as yet undefined, radius of herself by perceiving the distinctive mental radiations emitted by such a being.
* **Psychometry:** Prestige can use her telepathy to read the past from objects, people, and environments.

**Telekinesis:** Prestige is a high-level telekinetic, meaning she has immense telekinetic powers that enable her to sense and manipulate matter and energy, quite possibly on a subatomic level. Her telekinetic skill and aptitude is of such magnitude that she can easily affect and control molecules and particles, allowing her to fully control matter and energy for a variety of effects and purposes, including but not limited to:

* **Intuitive Aptitude:** Prestige can disassemble complex devices explosively (separating every last component, such as screws, nuts, circuit boards, etc.) and, just as quickly and easily, assemble said complex devices back together. This has enabled her to attain awareness and control over objects as small as individual electrons in an atom. For instance, she can detect if a seal is hermetic or not by checking for the presence of penetrating oxygen molecules. She can even detect and discern individual oxygen molecules and determine the atomic weight of molecules by the amount of atoms present.
* **Molecular Manipulation:** She has shown the ability to alter molecular and subatomic structures as well as molecular valences.
	+ **Black Hole Generation:** She has been shown to create miniature black holes.
	+ **Genetic Manipulation:**She can even rewrite her own genome.
* **Forcefield Generation:** Prestige has the ability to create protective force shields that can deflect even the most powerful of attacks, filter bacteria from the air, withstand Jovian atmospheric pressures, and even repel nuclear weapon attacks. The upper limits of this ability remain unclear, but she has displayed such control over her shields so as to shape them precisely, even to conform closely to her body's form. There does not appear to be any correlation between field strength and the thickness of the telekinetic shields.
* **Force Blasts:** She can project telekinetic energies as powerful blasts directed from her brain that can apparently affect matter with concussive force.
* **Telekinetic Condition Enhancement:** She is capable of telekinetically enhancing her physical attributes to superhuman levels.
* **Flight:** By levitating herself, she can fly for very long distances and at supersonic speeds.

**Chronokinesis:** Prestige also possesses the psionic power to manipulate time for a variety of effects, including:

* **Time Travel:** She is able to travel through time and space.
* **Temporal Stasis/Deceleration:** She can stop or greatly slow down time in her immediate vicinity.
* **Chronoskimming:** Prestige can send the awareness/consciousness/soul of herself or others to the past or future versions of themselves or possibly even their ancestors/descendants. She was able to use this ability to help her glimpse into past situations in order to learn more about an event, including when she was with X-Factor Investigations and helped them determine the whereabouts of Aurora, as well as using this ability to help determine who the potential murderer of the Scarlet Witch was.
* **Chrono-Shield:** She unconsciously emanates a fourth-dimensional pulse that creates a "chrono-shield", protecting her from changes to the timeline.

**Empathy:** Prestige is able to sense and interpret the emotions, sensations, and feelings of other sentient beings on various degrees.

* **Pathokinesis:** She is also able to manipulate the emotions of others.

### Former Powers

**Phoenix Force Avatar:** For a time, Prestige was bonded to the Phoenix Force as "the one true Phoenix" and had its cosmic powers at her disposal. As Phoenix, her powers were enhanced to their ultimate levels, limited only by her force of will and the breadth of imagination. Her connection to the Phoenix Force was lost in the distant future and did not return when she traveled back to the modern era. Recently, she has absorbed a residual echo of the Phoenix left in the sword of a previous host. It was revealed that the power Prestige had was not the true Phoenix, but a shadow or echo of it, making it easier to control, but less powerful.

* **Telepathy:** As the Phoenix, Prestige demonstrated heightened psionic powers.
* **Telekinesis:** As Phoenix, she manipulated matter on an atomic and universal scale.
* **Energy Generation/Manipulation:** She could also generate and control any form of energy in virtually any conceivable amount.
	+ **Energy Absorption:** She could absorb energy from sources as great as a supernova.
	+ **Life Force Manipulation:** She could also manipulate life forces.
* **Chronokinesis:** She could manipulate time.
* **Space Manipulation:** She could also manipulate space.
	+ **Teleportation:** She could create spatial warps for instantaneous travel.
* **Superhuman Strength:** Her strength was enhanced to immeasurable levels.
* **Cosmic Awareness:** She possessed a limited type of cosmic awareness.
