Renet said there was one version between the dimensions involved, but she is not necessarily the only version of Renet ever conceived. For example, Mirage Renet is not necessarily the same as 2012 TV series Renet or 2003 TV series Renet, nor are they really expected to all be the same character. These are not assumptions we can make just because the Mirage and IDW versions are the same.

Creators decide which continuities are connected, and one set of creators for one continuity can disagree with another set of creators for a different continuity. Mirage and IDW now share the same time travel references because Viacom has given the green light to the IDW team to do so, and Peter Laird even told me on his blog that he no longer has the authority to decide what is or isn't part of the Mirage continuity even if he produces new material in the future (as he is allowed under the terms of the sale), so he can't overrule any of Viacom's edicts. But the other continuities don't necessarily share the same characters unless stated (and licensed) by their creators. The 2012 series versions of Renet and Savanti have significant backstory differences from their Mirage/IDW versions anyway, with Renet being based in the far future (not a dimension outside of time) and Savanti being a mutant rather than a demon.
