i hated that dragon outfit, but i liked how he made her hand outfit have a big belt. it's like an asymmetrical mini skirt :) i also liked when he gave her little sailor moon meatballs on a couple covers randomly. i love her swoop bangs.

Uncanny should have different hairstyles to differentiate with all the girls. it's hard to tell the blondes apart and all the women have long wavy styled hair which is pretty but too matchy.

I LOVED the odangos on her head! Bachalo is so creative, but he instantly put her back in the hand outfit haha I wish he would have redesigned her something. I bet he would've given her something really cute.

Bachalo didn't design the HoM dragon outfit, Davis did BTW.

I wonder why would anyone revisit that story. LOL Great find, Giles!

Because we haven't seen enough epic mental battles between Betsy and one of her evil selves? lol.

Yes, ditto, Giles!

:redface: Thanks! :redface: I live to serve.

It could also be some Danger Room(Cave?) scenario of some sort. Maybe?

lol. Betsy's so Weird Science it hurts. <3 <3

This made me laugh so hard, 'cause the first thing that came to my mind was; the Phoebe Cates scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High!! I could hear the music starting to play in my head! :biggrin:

While talking about artists, who are your Top 5 artists for drawing Betsy.
Mine would have to be(In no particular order):
1. Silvestri
2. Jim Lee

To me:

Silvestri = British Betsy

Jim Lee = Asian Betsy

I also like Salvador Larrocas Asian Betsy, specially during the Dawn-mini; although at times, he can draw Betsy with to much muscles.

For both bodies = Alan Davis.

I didn't like how he drew her during the Dawn mini, I think her body was too big she was almost the same physic as Warren. She was drawn perfectly by him during Xtreme IMO. I really like how Liquid! colored her hair it was lavender like British Betsy's.

That first image by Bachalo is beautiful.

I had no idea Larroca drew the Crimson Dawn Mini. His work looked so different back then.

I love Joe Mad's Betsy, although he could make her scary muscular sometimes too.

I didnt mind the Dragon outfit. thought it was a bit cliche' but hey it was good for what it was worth. OMG Bachalo's odango's Betsy was super fab. I would have loved to see a costume redesign by him. I can't wait to see Dodson's.

EDIT: David Beaty-the guy who did the Sword of Braddocks one shot-deserves an honorable mention. I demand he get more work. And Yardin, the rendition of Psylocke he did for comission was fantastic.

I like the Dragon Outfit. It's one of my favorites.. Davis designed the costume but it was Bachalo who made it awesome..

My Top 5:
1. Jim Lee - Nobody draw Psylocke like Jim Lee.
2. Silvestri - Loved his Aussie Betsy. Can't wait to see his work in Utopia.
3. Chris Bachalo - There's something bout Bachalo's Betsy that is pure of win.
4. David Beaty - very very gorgeous Betsy. Already a favorite of mine.
5. Larocca - X-treme Betsy was awesome..

Same here.

Betsy had telepathy for what, 25 years before Claremont suddenly gave her Jean's telekinesis? I'm more than happy with Betsy having some kind of telepathic ability. Was that swap during Revolution ever explained, by the way? I don't recall ever getting a reason WHY Betsy gained Jean's telekinesis and Jean gained Betsy's telepathy after Betsy was forced to shut down her telepathy a few years before that.

yah Fraction does some weird shit. But i really don't understand whats so confusing. I mean it stated on panel what she does. AND i dont think its bad. She had that ability before. Kind of. Suggesting things would be like the illusion casting she had during the Mandarin arc. So if she can be clever with her powers again that would be awesome. ITs NOT that bad you guys. and check it out one issue after that dreadful arc she has more lines then STORM. Seriously thats pretty good. and yah Sage is a house and she adores it. STFO

IM in agreement with you both. Though I think the X-Club is a total snorefest I will pick this up only in support of Betsy and to see how these new powers play out. I also hope Warren tries to flrit only to get rejected.

Yeah it was Kelly and Seagle right? They originally wrote the story that she dies along with defeating the Shadow King, but one or the other vetoed the idea and made it so that she had to lock out her telepathy, thus retiring her.

Remember after this storyline she pretty much went into limbo and only briefly appeared during the Apocalypse storyline and didn't return in the fold permanently until CC returned with Revolution.

The low degree of tp has the potential to NOT be complicated. Back in UXM when CC brought her mind and he had her running around in her mind he showed the parts of her that were a telepath in shards, maybe those shards needed to be put back together and it is slowly returning. I mean a similar thing happened to Jean in Morrison's X-men didn't it. Her teke started to slowly return to compliment her tp.

Yeah, it was quite interesting that for someone with no telepathy, she would sometimes manifest aspects of it, sometimes through her telekinetic sword weirdly. Since her resurrection she has:

-Walked around inside her mind and memories.

-Created a telekinetic katana/sword that can disrupt a person's nervous system just like the old telepathic knife/katana/sword did.

-Used her telekinetic sword to break mind control just like the psychic knife used to do.

-Used her telekinetic sword to exert some form of mind control over her opponent where they could not move. She did this to R'chel, Jamie, and even Cassandra Nova (in X-men: The End)

-Experienced clairvoyance during HoM when she shared Brian's experiences and vice versa.

-Experienced psychic feedback when one of her alternates was about to be killed as well as sharing her last few moments before death.

Or of course we could tie all her powersets into her Otherworld heritage. Saying that because she is both Otherworlder and mutant her mutant genome is in a flux, changing, evolving, becoming something new and different. She could go to Otherworld to find the cause of the flux or get Merlyn to stop it or something.

Yeah, when she was a pure telepath, she had the psycho-blasts which produced physical force strong enough to throw people/objects back 10 ft or so. Then after Revanche died Betsy started manifesting the telepathic katana/sword and blocked physical objects with it a couple times.

Then when she becomes a pure telekine she was still able to produce a sword that acted just like the knife. So they might as well just give her both.

I can't wait to see her use an illusion. She hasn't cast an illusion in almost 20 years!! She became so reliant on the knife it was ridiculous.

Nice observation Drey; maybe this is what has jump-started her new ability. I'm starting to love this new power.

I'm glad Fraction decided to use Psylocke over Emma Frost for this mission. He easily could've had Emma tag along like he has since he started his run.

I think that says a lot for Psylocke and how Fraction views her as a character. I'm hoping she continues to have panel time it looks good so far.

As in the Uncanny #512, I'm really looking forward for her role in the X-Club especially her interaction with Beast and Warren.
Her new powerset is confusing.. I really hope it's a form of illussion-telepathy.

Like some already said.. I think Fraction is trying to give her back her telepathy.. and probably toning down her (super) telekinesis..
I just hope he can finish his intension regarding Betsy's power-set -by simplifying it, before a new creative team take over the book.

Her new powerset is confusing.. I really hope it's a form of illussion-telepathy.

I'm sure it is. She was described as a "telekinetic psychic" last issue and many of us assumed that she must have regained her telepathy. Now we know that she has regained it, but only a little of it.

I'm quite stoked because I haven't seen her use any telepathic manipulation since 1991 or so. Just the knife.

Like some already said.. I think Fraction is trying to give her back her telepathy.. and probably toning down her (super) telekinesis..

I know her telekinesis was always said to be oh so powerful, able to smash mountains and the like, but we hardly ever saw any of that. She only really used it to enhance her fighting skills, fly, create force fields every now and then, and the TK sword.

When she did use it to do bigger things it was in combination with Rachel's telekinesis or an alternate Sue Storm's forcefield and she did a lot of passing out in the process. In New Excalibur Betsy got taken out by Shadow X Jean and she wasn't even Phoenix powered.

I just hope he can finish his intension regarding Betsy's power-set -by simplifying it, before a new creative team take over the book.

I'm sure he will. CC's downfall is that he waited way too long to finish his plots. Did Sage really need to deal with the Diana Fox personality for 40+ issues? Did we really need to be teased about Betsy doing telepathic-like stunts with her TK as well as having clairvoyant flashes here and there for years--only to ultimately see an alternate Psylocke possess both TP and TK in SotB only to be killed?

I actually liked the way Betsy used her teke. I think it could have been expounded upon a bit more but it still works. She shouldnt use it in the conventional way as other teke users such as flying, blowing out walls, and such. I see her more as a combat teke using it to augment her strength, speed, leaping, an occasional blast of tk energy but mainly used for knockback purposes during a fight, tk sword affecting physical instead of mental, and some force field every now and again.

Yeah, but Betsy can't stay/be mad at Alison, not when they're BFF!!! :biggrin:

About Betsy not being traumatized - remember what Maddie said; "Betsy traveled to places and spaces beyond the comprehension of most". Betsy is so used to things like this, so no, I'm not surprised that she wasn't shocked.

But I think Kelly/Seagle deserve props for writing such a great story with a character they did not even care all that much for. Most writers these days give everything good to their pet characters and let those they don't like rot. At least they let Betsy go out with a bang.

Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled Betsy is still around but if she had died at the end of Psi-War I would have been sad but it would have been a good and meaningful death.

And I just realized Betsy has a nice feather in her cap. Jean & Emma have never faced/defeated the Shadow King correct? Not bad for the 'other' telepath.

She has defeated him on three occasions!!! :biggrin:

And in one of those occasions, she didn't even have her telepathy!

From the Fraction interview:

IGN Comics: As you mentioned, the character who did make her return this month was Psylocke. What made you want to bring her back?

Fraction: The team is pretty masculine, and we were looking for ways to bulk up the females on the team. I think she's a great, interesting character, and what we've done with her kind of synthesizes her two histories into one person. That'll give us some cool places to go with her character in the next year. It's not quite the same Psylocke everyone has seen before. Her power-set is a little bit different. Her personality is a little bit different. She's these two synthesized Psylockes as one with bits of each combined into this one person. And she's cool. She's got a great power-set and a cool costume. She's a super-powerful woman, and we don't get enough of those.

IGN Comics: And she's a ninja. You can't really go wrong with that.

Fraction: And she's a ninja. And Asian. So it's win-win-win. Psychic ninja! Who doesn't want to write about a psychic ninja?

IGN Comics: Is she going to be playing a big role in the series right away?

Fraction: She plays a big role in issue #512. She also shows up in X-Men/Dark Avengers and going forward. I'm looking forward to her being a member of the team.

The whole interview can be found here (http://comics.ign.com/articles/996/996452p1.html).

Psylocke has been through a lot but at least she was always Betsy on the inside. Always had the same personality. I don't like what Fraction might be saying. It seems he is saying Kwannon's personality is inside of her as well and is more prevalent than before. Her getting a new powerset is unnecessary but I don't want the character to change. It's one thing for a stupid body swap and power swap, but if you change the character on the inside why not just get a NEW CHARACTER instead of constantly changing an established one?

Mephisto didn't train Spider-Man how to be Spider-Man.

I'll give you an answer on X-Crescence, I have I feeling that I can't win the argument here - it's going around in circles.

Yeah I think he's an idiot in general. I'm more pissed about the way he talks about Jean. 'oh yeah it's a riot how i pretended to bring Jean and british Betsy back and nothing changed. April Fools teehee :P'.

Psylocke has been through a lot but at least she was always Betsy on the inside. Always had the same personality. I don't like what Fraction might be saying. It seems he is saying Kwannon's personality is inside of her as well and is more prevalent than before. Her getting a new powerset is unnecessary but I don't want the character to change. It's one thing for a stupid body swap and power swap, but if you change the character on the inside why not just get a NEW CHARACTER instead of constantly changing an established one?

I don't understand it either, Betsy was herself 100% during New Exiles, specially after having confronted and defeated Lady M inside of her. Why must she always fight herself or another version all the time?!

lol you cant win it anywhere....you ask pretty much anybody, and they would tell you they CONSIDER a her ninja. Saying "No, she's a warrior" is basically saying "No, I'm a fan and I want creators to go into intense details on how incredible she is!". He was being simple and flippant, he's not gonna go into intense detail on the exact nature of her fighting skills. Probably because he doesnt care, nor should he. Its not like that level of minute detail makes its way onto the page.

She was trained by ninja, fights like a ninja, Mr. Joe Comic Reader would consider her a ninja.

We can just agree to disagree that you saying Fraction "Doesnt get Psylocke AT ALL" was a silly over exaggeration.

IGN Comics: As you mentioned, the character who did make her return this month was Psylocke. What made you want to bring her back?

Fraction: The team is pretty masculine, and we were looking for ways to bulk up the females on the team. I think she's a great, interesting character, and what we've done with her kind of synthesizes her two histories into one person. That'll give us some cool places to go with her character in the next year. It's not quite the same Psylocke everyone has seen before. Her power-set is a little bit different. Her personality is a little bit different. She's these two synthesized Psylockes as one with bits of each combined into this one person. And she's cool. She's got a great power-set and a cool costume. She's a super-powerful woman, and we don't get enough of those.

Two histories? Intriguing. I wonder if he's referring to the "calculating, deceptive Psylocke" and the "action junkie Psylocke".

During her British days, she was quite deceptive and actually did well as a tactician. When she became Lady Mandarin, she gained her "action junkie" qualities, but was still quite a deceptive opponent. I think she was best during this time because she used her ninja skills in tandem with illusions, while also using mind control when she had to. The psychic knife was a quick finisher.

But as time went on and after CC left the books, Psylocke became a pure action junkie, jumping into fights using just her ninja skills and her psychic knife. Gone were the days of psionic assaults, illusions, mind control, etc.

Enter: Crimson Dawn, limbo, Psi-War (which rocked), limbo, TK, death, etc.

Perhaps this "combination of Psylockes" is about returning the deceptive aspect of her by manipulating her opponents again with her powers and thinking things through more instead of jumping head first into battle with her fists and feet.

If that is what it means then I welcome it. I'm hoping anyway...

I like this idea Drey. I was actually thinking something similar myself. If he can somehow merge the action junkie with my calculating tactian love then I might actually give praise to Fraction.

That's exactly what I think upon reading the interview, Drey.
My favorite Betsy era was the post Lady Mandarin era, which had both qualities of Outback and Ninja Betsy.

I'm just glad that (hopefully) Betsy will play a prominent role in Uncanny. Guess Emma will be 'semi-delegated' to Dark X-Men for awhile.. I'm looking forward to see more Betsy in the X-Book.

My only gripe is Betsy is gonna get thru somekind of powerset-changing again. It's just seems that every new writer want to have their own take on Betsy.
I really hope this time, it'll be for the better.

And am I the only one who likes the 'Psychic Ninja' term? It's sounds like the combination of Outback and Ninja Betsy.

A top 5 of Psylocke artists and no Alan Davis? Blasphemy.

I kinda hate Alan Davis' art. lol Really really hate.

Ask and ye shall recieve...
YAY! Thank you ♥ Psi-War is the quintessential Psylocke story IMO!

British Psylocke is dead!!! :( These people need to get over it.

You make me so hot!

LOL. Calm down, you guys. I really don't mind Fraction's interview. As a matter fact I kinda liked what he said. He seems pretty optimistic and excited about her. He could have used Emma or some image inducer in UNX512, but instead he chose to use Psylocke. I think that's a good sign. In this issue alone she'll do more than Dazzler, Storm or Karma did in a whole year. We haven't seen how he writes Psylocke yet - she was brainwashed the whole Sisterhood arc - but I'm already happy that she's getting to interact with her old friends (Angel and Beast). As for her powers, I'd hardly call it a new power, it's just an aspect of her telepathy returning. So I'm ok with it. As for her personality, I agree with Drey. The body-transfer was probably a traumatic experience for her, so most likely it will lead to some changes. But really, this is just comic book creator talk. She'll hardly change dramatically. In a nutshell, I'm just really back that Betsy is back in the core book. I mean, currently she's like the second X-Woman, only behind Emma. Even Storm is being sidelined. I think we should be happy that she's going to play a part in all those upcoming stories. And remember: she was stuck in Exiles for two years. Not to mention CC being her only writer for like 9 years in a row. This is a huge improvement from last year. I'm willing to give Fraction a chance. :D

At the moment I dont see Betts becoming wallpaper as much as some of the other ladies have had to endure. I mean were hitting that stride where Fraction HAS to use as many mutants as he can. 512 will have some good Betsy moments and then Utopia starts where it seems like she will be doing some big things. And even if she doesn't have a really magnificent role at least she is on a lot of covers!

I love Emma, but I'd definately be ok with her taking more of a back seat while Psylocke gets her chance to shine.

My only gripe is Betsy is gonna get thru somekind of powerset-changing again. It's just seems that every new writer want to have their own take on Betsy.
I really hope this time, it'll be for the better.

Everyone has been calling for her telepathy to come back for years. Now that it's returning, albeit a little at a time--so many are complaining about her powers changing again and calling them new, when it's really not. I think it's about time we saw those powers come back. The only thing that'll be different is that she'll have telekinesis at the same time this time.

It's kinda funny though. While she was a pure telepath she still manifested telekinetic-like abilities. The psycho-blast and the psychic katana (manifested right after Revanche's death) had telekinetic qualities.

While she was a pure telekine, she manifested telepathic-like abilities. The psychic sword that broke psychic inhibitors, disrupted the nervous system, and acted as a form of mind control when it was used to keep R'chel, Jamie, and Cassandra Nova from moving.

Not to mention the clairvoyant flashes in HoM and SotB, psychic battles with Lady Mandarin, and the precog vision of Brian being killed by Slaymaster.

I think Fraction is just expanding on that.

And am I the only one who likes the 'Psychic Ninja' term? It's sounds like the combination of Outback and Ninja Betsy.

I've always loved the 'psychic ninja' term. I guess this next issue will determine how well or bad Betsy is written. The last two issues of the Sisterhood arc was just too much of a mess.

but I'm already happy that she's getting to interact with her old friends (Angel and Beast).

I'm glad to see that too. Though Beast kinda creeps me out because he's always touching her and slobbering over her. I was reading X-men: First Class #15 last night for the first time and he was all over Medusa. Damn Hank learn how to not be so obvious.

IGN Comics: And she's a ninja. You can't really go wrong with that.

Fraction: And she's a ninja. And Asian. So it's win-win-win. Psychic ninja! Who doesn't want to write about a psychic ninja?

IGN Comics: Is she going to be playing a big role in the series right away?

Fraction: She plays a big role in issue #512. She also shows up in X-Men/Dark Avengers and going forward. I'm looking forward to her being a member of the team.

The whole interview can be found here (http://comics.ign.com/articles/996/996452p1.html).

Fraction doesn't get Psylocke at all.

I just read that crap. he was STRAIGHT talking out of his arse with that one.

Honestly I'm excited & piss off at the same time about this. Because this should have been an arc in one of the main X-books (AX or UNX). It seem like marvel put some/most of the best stories in minis where they can charge us an 1 more. But I still going to buy because I like Psylocke & want to mind out what happen to her.

Yeah me too, but now she's in the hands of Fraction. At least the guy has promised that she will be a prominent character and not wallpaper as poor Alison.

Plausible. Yost had Storm kill Shadow King(who also had ties with Betts) and Cyclops. Im thinking he will have Psylocke kill Spiral and Emma!!!

There is going to be a Psylocke mini written by Yost. No matter how many times I say it I just can't stop smiling. This is going to be absolutely wonderful. His Worlds Apart for Storm was phenomenal. Tolibao really looks like he has some good traits going on. Even though that Ultimate Vein stuff is kinda fug, but im crazy excited. My mind is throbbing with all the possibilites this will entail. I cant wait.

i'm glad betsy's getting recognition and being talked about like she's an asset to the marvel universe. it's great! especially when he talks about her being no nonsense. but i'm not as excited about the mini after reading this. i thought it'd be more of a sisterhood story than a ninja assassin set in Japan. and definitive psylocke for modern readers is a conflict of interest to me. reminds me of the crimson dawn mini. i'm still excited for the art most of all.
