Editing Rachel Summers (section)

===Telepathy===
Rachel's "virtually unlimited" telepathy allows her to receive, broadcast, and manipulate [[Cognition|cognitive processes]] (such as thoughts) in an intricate manner. Examples of Rachel's aptitudes for this include creating durable mind-links across distances, projecting blasts of psionic energy that disrupt aspects of brain functioning, shielding her mind from other telepaths, creating [[illusion]]s, and rendering someone imperceptible to the five senses. In addition, Rachel has demonstrated the ability to telepathically suppress superpowers; control, repair, and exchange minds; as well as safely editing memories. Rachel has also harnessed her telepathy to sense, locate, and track other sentient beings based on their thought patterns, but has a moral apprehension about using this skill due to her experiences as a Hound.

It has been suggested that Rachel's telepathy, although immeasurable in raw power, is mitigated by her limited training and finesse. [[Emma Frost]] was able to outflank an incredulous Rachel in a contest on the [[astral plane]]. In the same issue, Emma offered her educative services; and later still, Rachel received training from [[Professor X|Professor Charles Xavier]] (while he was depowered), giving her access to his vast knowledge and expertise in telepathy.<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #475–486 (Sept. 2006–July 2007)</ref>
