Psylocke Appreciation Thread

[Tazirai]

Ew no. LOL. She sounds like a Mary Sue this way. To me, Psylocke is a warrior, a soldier. She takes orders and gets the job done. She doesn't want to be bossing people around. She likes the fun of the battle, the adrenaline. It's not like she has showed any interest in leading before. So no, I wouldn't her to be a "leader".

She has shown leadership before. but like has been said. It's not something writers want or know how to do with her. She's a good fighter but to just play up her fighting ability and sex appeal is a disservice. Sorry.

We'll see what happens after the mini.

What is Wetsy?

Warren/Betsy for the win!

[CmX]

Must have been hard though, with all the hints and promises that CC posted over there during those years, I'm amazed that you didn't go crazy! lol :wink:



I don't know...Betsy in X-Force? This might sound crazy, concidering that they have X-23 and wolvie on that team; but now that Betsy is a full spectrum psi with Ogun-level fighting skills - I get the feeling that Betsy is too....deadly....to fit into this team of covert ops - she would function much better on single missions, like a female version of Ogun.

Maybe we will see some of this single mission thing with the new mini. :)

How is she too deadly for X-Force? And from what I picked up from Yost on how no one will be commenting on Psylocke's time with Exiles, I wouldn't be surprised if her Ogun training was just swept under the rug, just like her ability to fly. (Thank God)

I think she would be perfect for X-Force. You wouldn't think a character like Warpath, Angel or Rahne fit into X-Force and it still works. Why wouldn't Psylocke?

You guys confuse me sometimes. :/

It adds to the mythos that Warren and Betsy no longer work as a couple.

[coveredinbees]

No blue and no Warren. It's time for someone completely new.

[Drey]

I agree the only time she's been shown as a leader was under Claremont, which isn't a big surprise.

Even though I hate any man CC tries to pair her up with, he is one of the only writers that has brought out other sides of Betsy other than the "warrior". During his first run Betsy received some of the best characterization ever. She slowly went through a metamorphosis from the time she joined and became complete in Acts of Vengeance.

Jim Lee focused solely on the warrior and the flirtation with Scott. Nicieza continued that until Revanche was introduced in an attempt to give Betsy some character development. After Revanche died, Nicieza wrote Betsy pretty well but Lobdell ruined it when he had her get gutted by Sabretooth and ultimately started losing her personality to the Crimson Dawn.

Then came limbo until Joe Kelly came along which kinda put Psylocke in a leader type role. She was the main threat to the Shadow King and was ultimately responsible for freeing Ainet and the X-men from SK's mind control, then expelling them from the astral plane while she fought Shadow King.

We won't talk about Revolution because it lasted like 10 minutes before the movie came out and big changes like Morrison and Casey were introduced. We won't talk about X-treme either because she died in issue 2.

I really liked how she became a leader of sorts in New Exiles. She began using her wits more instead of punching and kicking first without thinking. Little things like recognizing that the alt-Earth's crust formation was all wrong to using air currents to track Rogue was kinda brainy of her and I loved it.

Psylocke is a master assassin and should be capable of leading when the time calls for it.

I think Giles just means that she's too powerful to be on the X-Force team. You have the perfect close range fighters such as Logan, Laura, James, and Domino--but then you add in Betsy and you get someone that's just as good a fighter that can control minds and matter from a distance. Meaning that there's really nothing she can't do.

I don't think that will happen though. I think Betsy's power levels will be established in the mini. We do know for sure that her telekinesis will not be as strong as it was stated to be under CC or else we'd have seen it by now. Honestly I don't think we ever saw her smash a mountain anyway. Just a house really, which is fine with me. She doesn't need to have Phoenix-level powers.

She'll probably end up around Prue level in the TK department and slightly below Emma in the TP department.

[psycwave]

I think if Psylocke continues to use her tp in the ways she did when she was first inntroduced and the Lady Mandarin sense she would be a good fit for X-Force. Especially with so many in the Marvel U coming up with ways to block or hinder telepathy I could see her having some limitations every now and again. Plus a tp would be great for a covert ops team.

When it comes to her teke, while I like it I never cared for "uber powerful" aspect of it. As i have said before I like to think of her more as a combat tk, using her abilities to augment her strength, speed, leaping, creating force fields, etc. While i didnt mind the whole making herself invisible thing i think it just came out of left field. If we had seen her practicing the ability I might have been a bit more receptive to it. MIGHT. If her teke gets limited I think she will go back to that raw power and not precise feats. That would kinda put her in the position to use her teke for more combat situations.

I believe Betsy would thrive in X-Force.

Plus she would be with BFF Wolverine and young protege X-23.

I could see her doing very well in X-Force.

Yeah, the combat telekine aspect is what I like most about the TK. I hated it at first but I started liking it in X-treme X-men when I saw that flash-back of Betsy fighting Rogue and Thunderbird.

I couldn't get with the invisibility trick either. Now that she has her telepathy back, they should use that to alter someone's perceptions if she wants to be "invisible". Molecule manipulation is something better left for the Grey-Pryor-Summers clan, IMO.

Thank you.

I don't think Betsy is too powerful for X-Force. Why wouldn't Cyclops want her to be a part of that team? She's a perfect fit for X-Force, she fits like a glove. She's a trained assassin, expert martial artist, a telepath (which they lack at the moment, they have a healer, a teleporter, but no TP.) she's also a weapons expert.

I would love to see Betsy fall into X-Force sometime very soon, and we'll be able to see what all Betsy is capable of doing in her mini series. For all we know she isn't the uber exaggerated boring powerful TK she was during CC's last few years with her. We haven't even see her use her TK since she's returned which is a good sign in my opinion.

[metalgorgomon]

Even though I hate any man CC tries to pair her up with, he is one of the only writers that has brought out other sides of Betsy other than the "warrior". During his first run Betsy received some of the best characterization ever. She slowly went through a metamorphosis from the time she joined and became complete in Acts of Vengeance.

Jim Lee focused solely on the warrior and the flirtation with Scott. Nicieza continued that until Revanche was introduced in an attempt to give Betsy some character development. After Revanche died, Nicieza wrote Betsy pretty well but Lobdell ruined it when he had her get gutted by Sabretooth and ultimately started losing her personality to the Crimson Dawn.

Then came limbo until Joe Kelly came along which kinda put Psylocke in a leader type role. She was the main threat to the Shadow King and was ultimately responsible for freeing Ainet and the X-men from SK's mind control, then expelling them from the astral plane while she fought Shadow King.

We won't talk about Revolution because it lasted like 10 minutes before the movie came out and big changes like Morrison and Casey were introduced. We won't talk about X-treme either because she died in issue 2.

I really liked how she became a leader of sorts in New Exiles. She began using her wits more instead of punching and kicking first without thinking. Little things like recognizing that the alt-Earth's crust formation was all wrong to using air currents to track Rogue was kinda brainy of her and I loved it.

Psylocke is a master assassin and should be capable of leading when the time calls for it.


Agreed on so many levels, Justin.
I wouldn't want Betsy to be current Cyclops-Emma type of leader.. She's mainly still a warrior but I think she'd fit as a team/squad leader. Just like Rogue in Carey's early Adjectiveless or even Wolverine in X-Force.
And I think UXM #514 kinda shows her as the co-leader of the X-Club (with Beast not around).


I don't think that will happen though. I think Betsy's power levels will be established in the mini. We do know for sure that her telekinesis will not be as strong as it was stated to be under CC or else we'd have seen it by now. Honestly I don't think we ever saw her smash a mountain anyway.

She'll probably end up around Prue level in the TK department and slightly below Emma in the TP department.

I'd LOVE to see her in X-Force. I'm thrilled at the idea of Betsy-Logan interaction and she'd definitely kick ass in that title.

I also agree that Betsy's power level should not be as powerful as the Greys/Summers but with TP and TK that more combat-suited skill.

Good points but just to share, that Kelly (even though he wrote some of my favorite issues before editors drive them away) and Seagle hated Psylocke and would have loved nothing more than do bad things with her :biggrin: Fortunately they had class and respect for fans and actually gave her a spotlight against the SK as a clever way to write her off the books.

[Drey]

I LOVED the Xtreme scene. I think I have the scans somewhere.....

Thanks for the scans! <3

And the unless there name is Nate-Maddie-Ruby, the Grey-Pryor-Summers clan is aweful.

LOL. Love the above three, though I admit to liking Rachel Summers. She had a good dynamic with Betsy. Robert Weinberg wrote my favorite version of her. Cable used to be good IMO. Again Robert Weinberg's Cable was my favorite version. I liked little Christopher too. Jean and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the version of Jean up until UXM 137. After her return in FF I kinda hate her off and on. Scott is a hot ass mess. The only time I've liked him since the whole Apocalypse ordeal was in Cable #5 or #6. The writer really got into Scott's head and it was good to see that. I don't care for "General Summers" that much.

I also like Alex. Liked him best in the Brotherhood when he, Dark Beast, and Fatale <3 were trying to recruit Nate. Loved him in Mutant X too.

Yep! A squad type leader fits Betsy more. Even back in the Australian era Betsy was a squad type of leader. Storm and Wolverine were usually off doing their own thing so it was usually just Psylocke, Havok, Dazzler, Rogue (until she "died"), Longshot, and Colossus. They also weren't always together either.

I'd LOVE to see her in X-Force. I'm thrilled at the idea of Betsy-Logan interaction and she'd definitely kick ass in that title.

I'd love to see Betsy with X-Force. I also want Betsy to still be in Uncanny, with guest spots in Legacy. :biggrin:

Hornet- Oh yeah that's right!! So I guess I have to scratch Kelly and Seagle even though it turned out to be a great story for Betts.

Like I posted in another thread, its time to focus on the leadership skills of Cannonball, Rogue and Betts. Cyke has evolved to overall commander-ship and we need to see these guys run things.

[booga]

how about a three month coma

[Daniel Mengsk]

You guys confuse me sometimes. :/

LOL Just "sometimes"? Progress! :biggrin:

No, but seriously, hear me out - imagine this scenario:

The X-Force team has been tasked by Cykes to retrive some "doomsday weapon" from a cult of mutant bigots. They arrive at the location, only to find this bigots already lying around dead and the weapon missing. In the shadows above, a woman all dressed in black with night vision googles holding the weapon, activates some high-tech ninja flash powder things - and fights her way out of the building. In the final panel the mysterious woman meets up with Cykes.

Cyclops: "Did you get it?"
Woman: takes of her mask and reveals herself to be Betsy. "Yes. You could have warned me."
C: "Your powers have changed Betsy. You have changed. I needed to know what you are capable of, that's why I didn't tell you that the others would be there."
B: "And now?"
C: "And now you rest, I have another mission for you in two hours."

I see current Betsy as Wolverine used to be in the 80's. Yes, Betsy would work well in a group like X-Force, but she would IMO be at her peek during single missions, relying only on herself - Cykes beyond secret black operative. :wink: She is to me like Jessica Priest or Elektra/Daredevil (when they work alone) - a superb secret agent. I have no doubts that she could eventually end up in X-Force, but for now I like that Betsy is becoming what Matsuo once predicted that she would be:

"Just as a great lord, Mandarin, needs spies to seek out his enemies. And executioners to deal with them. In Psylocke, you have both."

And who knows....maybe the mini is just a testrun for Marvel. If it sells good enough, than maybe there's an ongoing in the works - featuring Cyclops very secret ops - Betsy Braddock! (Yeah, I know - wishfull thinking :wink: ).

[Psychic Illusion]

The uncanny 517 cover leads me to wonder..... is liza the second in command x-woman? Behind the lovely white queen? Since sadly storm and dazzler is background, rogue doing the adventure hunt, jean dead, kitty m.I.a., polaris and rachel in space, and jubilee in limbo. And I don't see pixie and armor as much now.

It'd be great to see Betsy as the second in command X-woman. I kinda hate to say it but I'm kinda glad Jean is still dead and Storm is background material and away in BP. Since then, Emma rose in status, Rogue is getting focused on, and now Betsy is coming back to the forefront. It's time for MY favorites to shine mwahahaha!! :evilsmile:

Fraction really needs to do more with Dazzler though. Karma got more time to shine, but since she's in New Mutants now, some of her panel time can go to Betsy and Ali.

Throw in Kurt, Jean-Paul, Pagie and Bachalo, and we're golden.

I'm kinda meh about it, I mean Betts did flirt with Kurt in the Savage Land, but should they be together? IMO no...I just don't see it. I like Kurt with either Cerise or Amanda, and in extreme cases, heck, pair him with Rachel...

Paige would be GREAT. Alpha-female, computer wiz, cool power, youngest member, plus we'd get some great sibling beats with her and Sam. And (topically) she and Betts could trade embarrassing Warren stories. Also, Bachalo drawn Husk is always a treat.


Now THATS gross.
Co-signed. I am a HUGE fan of both Kurt and Ray, but some streams just shouldn't cross.

Cerise and Amanda had their own weirdness too. The only past Kurt loves I approve of are Logan, Princess Judith Rassendyll, Kymri, and (almost) Brigadier Alysande Stuart. Rachel, unfortunately, is batting zero outside Kitty Pryde. :(

I want to see Betsy date outside of the X-Men. She's a brilliant British model in a sexy Asian ninja body, for heaven's sake. She can get any man she wants. Let her go back across the pond and play ring-around-the-rosie with Pete Wisdom.

Now that would be a hot couple.

(A Captain Britain and MI13 mini would, of course, be the best place for this flirtation to begin. And maybe giving them Psylocke would boost sales. She's pretty B+ List, if not almost A.)

Paige would be GREAT. Alpha-female, computer wiz, cool power, youngest member, plus we'd get some great sibling beats with her and Sam. And (topically) she and Betts could trade embarrassing Warren stories. Also, Bachalo drawn Husk is always a treat.



Co-signed. I am a HUGE fan of both Kurt and Ray, but some streams just shouldn't cross.

Cerise and Amanda had their own weirdness too. The only past Kurt loves I approve of are Logan, Princess Judith Rassendyll, Kymri, and (almost) Brigadier Alysande Stuart. Rachel, unfortunately, is batting zero outside Kitty Pryde. :(

Kitty Litterers are not to discuss Rachel Grey.

[CmX]

agreed,i love when chris had betsy returning to the x-mansion since her 3 year death and all the x-student boys were drooling over how hot she was.

I could totally see Hellion hit on Betsy. He seems to the type to go over older women or MILFs.

So who all have flirted or shown some sort of interest in Betsy? Off the top of my head..

Warren
Beast
Cyclops
Nightcrawler
Gambit
Cannonball
Pete Wisdom
Cypher
AoA Creed
Morph
Mystic


And of course she was involved with Tom Lennox.

Who am I missing?

I have dual citizenship! Besides, I was discussing Rachel Summers, not that skrull.


I have to admit though, pedo-Betsy wins out. She should really have Rogue's job.

And don't forget "SLAMMO" wtf, seriously.

I want Betsy to A) become one of the leaders of Nation X, and B) take over at least a portion of The Hand after her mini.

It's about time that Betsy had some fun too and become this Great Power for once in her life. She is after all the daughter of Sir. James Braddock - the desire to rule is in her blood.

With the upcoming Psylocke mini-series, Matsuo is going to do something horrible to Betsy that will cause her to go on this Roaring Rampage of Revenge. What do you think this might be?

I certainly hope that doesn't happen. Yost's directive for this story is to remind people why Psylockie is so bad-ass, not why her backstory is such a pain in the ass to understand. Let's keep the body-swap out of this, and make some room for some mountain-shattering TK and fight scenes :biggrin: .

I think he's going to somehow trick her into killing him because Wolverine wouldn't. He'll push her to the edge by trying to kill her or someone close to her, and then taunt her into killing him.

Betsy has already killed several times; Hand ninjas, Crimson Dawn Undercloaks...Slaymaster...

Hand ninjas are meh, as are Undercloaks (and if I remember correctly she had qualms with killing them as well--though aren't they made of mystical energy or some such?). I don't really see them even counting.

Slaymaster was the beginning of this darker path I see Betsy traveling down . . . I think in her mini she won't necessarily have to kill, but Matsuo will dupe her into killing and she'll have to take a step back and say "Wow, I was ready to end a life as my first option? I need to reevaluate myself."

So I've never posted here before so sorry if this post is out of place or has been covered somewhere else. I have been watching episodes of Wolverine and the X-men that my friend had downloaded and I just finished watching the episode with Psylocke. First, I'd like to say that I loved the use of the older butterfly effect, but when she was fighting Emma Frost she was beaten so easily and called pathetic. So, I'm no expert at Psylocke, I've only recently begun to realize the awesomeness that she is, so tell me, isn't she characterized as being way more powerful a telepath than that in the comic books (616)? I mean, at the peak of her telepathy (which she is getting back :biggrin: ) wasn't she a force to be reckoned with?

Yeah she seemed to be severely downplayed in the Wolverine & the X-Men. I'm happy to see her in the show, and the butterfly effect! But Emma was portrayed I guess to be the ultimate badass telepath.

I'm not sure if Psylocke is as powerful a TP as Emma even in the 616 universe, but I know she's not that much weaker maybe on par? Who knows, Psylocke hasn't been a telepath for years thanks to Claremont so we don't know where her powerlevels sit right now. We'll have to wait for her mini series out in Nov, are you going to pick that up XFan2000?

[peopleofpaper]

It's too bad there are so many mutants with mental abilities. It led Psylocke to always only being second best because of Jean and Emma. She'll never be number one because of Professor X, Jean and now Emma so she's been on the B-list too many times. Other mutants with their own specialized powers get to shine a lot more.

Thanks for trying to clear up some of my power level questions. It just seems that Emma is taking the place of most of the telepaths lately now in animated form too. As for the mini series there isn't much room in my budget for comics at the moment but I would LOVE to read it. With Jean Grey on hiatus (as I will call it :rolleyes: ) Psylocke is my new top psy gal!

Ya she's usually been portrayed as "the other telepath".... but Betsy was the top telepath from her introduction into the X-books all the way until Blue and Gold teams. Of course, from that point on she's been "second best", but she did get a pretty long run as being the main telepath for the team, at least in my opinion.

Since it's New Mutants Appreciation Week, let's discuss Betsy's brief fling with Doug Ramsey! What do you think was going on there? Could it have led to something more? Was C.C. toying with putting Betts on the New mutants rather than the X-Men proper?

I hate that people say that Psylocke was a pedophile due to the friendship she carried with Douglas.

She never lusted after him, or had any sort of sexual contact with him or hit on him.

Yes she had internal monlogue saying she cared deeply for him, but does that necessarily mean she wanted to molest him? I always read it at the angle that she cared for him and possibly loved him, but wasn't in love with him. He did help rescue her, how could she not have a soft spot for him? He was there when she broke down and wanted to rip her artificial eyes out and he comforted her.

It would have been interesting to have Psylocke join the New Mutants. As sort of like a "nanny" lol It would have been interesting to see her look after them and take care of them, but not necessarily lead them and to have the kids kinda integrate her to the whole Xavier mythos.

"After a long wait due to health problems had to be one of the authors some time ago, finally announced the date of publication of the graphic novel by Chris Claremont, the writer whose name has become inseparable from the brand mutant , and Milo Manara, an artist known worldwide for its pages filled with sexy girls and sloppy.

The story, entitled X-Men: Girls On The Run / X-Men: Girls on the Run will be released in Italy on November 5, and preview a couple of days before at Lucca Comics.
Part of the plot has been revealed: the story will see the Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pride, Psylocke, Emma Frost Marvel Girl and face a formidable rival to the top Madripoor movement stage and then in Greece for a dynamic and engaging story will delight all fans of the two famous artists.

For the occasion, Panini will ensure the story of 48 pages hardback black and white complete with 16 color pages of additional content that will make us understand the performance of this adventure. Additionally, the site of Panini is now available in PDF page book promotion for all our readers can download."

BTW, Tolibao told me he's gonna draw some "butterfly" effect like that one from the sketch!

LOL? Really? Milo Manara is a legend in the comic world... at least in Europe... he has worked with Neil Gaiman in some Sandman stories.

I must say, a Psylocke drawn by him is a nice idea... He is an erotic artist most of the time, but more soft and playful than any other thing, and her women are gorgeous...

[Daniel Mengsk]

I kinda hate to say it but I'm kinda glad Jean is still dead and Storm is background material and away in BP. Since then, Emma rose in status,...

Oh whatever , Drey.

A panel or two of the story was released in black and white, I guess it was only inked at that time. From what I remember it shows Kitty falling off a cliff or something (wearing her Mekanix black leather bartender outfit) and Psylocke hanging from what looks like a vine and catching her lol

It sounds silly, but it looked pretty nice it reminded me sort of like Quitely but with prettier faces. It was "soft" looking, I'm not sure this will be an "erotic" one-shot, but I think it was noted by Marvel that the artist was known for erotic work. Who can tell with CC writing it though and it containing nothing, but X-Ladies. I'd prefer if it didn't have Marvel Girl in it though unless it's Jean and not Rachel.

[tornshattered]

I've got a question to ask(the question has probably been asked a million times) Which version of Psylocke do you preffer? The cute english butterfly girl? The asian ninja?

I like the butterfly-Betsy much more. I was really disappointed that she returned to Revanche's body. I hope she'll return to her old body, because I doubt Maddie is done for.

Also, I like her lilac hair.

[Ryan W]

I know that I'll get some hate for this, but because she was introduced to me as the ninja version I simply just "get" that version of Psylocke more. However don't get me wrong I enjoy British Betsy and would dig a return to that body for her if only because it would mean neat, engaging stories . . . My first exposure to Betsy was in the Kwannon/Betsy mix body.

I like Outback/armored British Betsy. Not really that cute (due to the full-face mask), and just as good a fighter as the ninja.

Same here, my first issue of X-Men was the one with Kwannon, Gambit & Betsy on the cover fighting ninjas.

I have no problems with Asian Psylocke, I'm over the whole debate it's tired and pointless.

Either get over it or find a new character to appreciate if you're just going to complain what ethnicity she is.

Welcome! I'm always glad to see new Psylocke fans.

[Psychic Illusion]

Both versions of liza are badass. I love them both equally.


You know what would be funny tho? If revanche all along was psylocke. British that is and the eurasn one was kwannon all along (even now). That means psylocke would have only appeared once a decade and kept dying.

[tornshattered]

What if Betsy actually died in her original body, while Kwannon is now impersonating her?

[CmX]

It would have been a lot more interesting if that's how the story went (except for Betsy dying) but with British Betsy showing up at the doorstep and it was really Kwannon impersonating Psylocke.

But at the end of the story British Betsy rejoins and Kwannon still dies of the legacy virus, but in her own body not Betsy's.

Hey, who knows? Maybe Yost will hear our prayers?

[infernohara]

Did anything from claremont stay with betsy? It looks like her telepathy is back so what jamie did to her seems to be gone (not claremont I know) and her telekinetic flight seems to be gone as well. What of the invisibility? The force fields? What about the most important thing in her arsenal.....her fighting skills?

Has she gone back to regular advanced hand tactics or does she still have those crimson shadow people fighting skills? What about what Ogun taught her in exiles? She was highly skilled in the end: I'd say she could have taken Sabretooth, Wolverine or Elektra easily. Now i'm not so sure where her fighting level experience is. What do you think? Or should we just wait for her solo series to get the answers?

Who cares. I am so glad that she doesn't fly anymore, and that she doesn't have that Mary Sue "Nobody can read my mind or manipulate me" shields.

Claremont didn't simplify her at all she went from a British telepath, to an Asian telekinetic who can fly and has immunity shields, plus she can turn invisible.

She is still a great martial artist, I don't think the Ogun thing will be mentioned again seeing as Yost confirmed that her New Exiles tenure won't be touched on. (Thank God, Creed, flight etc.,)

How did you guys react when Revolution first came out? I didn't like the bandanna but I remember really liking the change in hairstyle and outfit because I was bored with The Hand look. I don't remember caring about her power switch much but looking back I think it was odd.

[Tazirai]

I like Outback/armored British Betsy. Not really that cute (due to the full-face mask), and just as good a fighter as the ninja.

As much of a fan of British Psylocke as I am.. see Avatar. But she was no fighter back then. Mentally yes, but physically she'd lose most one on ones. She was in good shape but she focused more on the mental and coordinating aspects of her abilities.

Ninja betsy would lose against a telepathic one in a Power on power fight. TP Psylocke ould simply shut her down.. NOW that all depends on if she's immune to Telepathy or not. I think this "new" Fraction-locke isnt immune anymore.

I just read a CC interview. He said it will be released in the US next year. I didn't know this Milo guys was an "erotic art" artist. LOL. http://psylocke-butterfly.blogspot.com/2009/08/x-men-gals-on-run-by-claremont-manara.html

Milo Manara awesome. I have some of his books.. the art is simple clean and amazing.

[infernohara]

Hmmm. Fair enough. I just like to know what my character has beforehand. It kinda lets me in on how this character would react and let me know they're limits. Claremont's psylocke had no limits and she was pulling new moves constantly out of her arse...... I just like to know what my Betsy can do.

I don't think that Ogun will be mentioned either, but Yost will probably incorporate the enhanced fighting skills anyhow - Betsy will probably be a superior fighter compared to Hand ninjas - and that's probably how she will be handled by Fraction too. It's like the telepathy thing - no real explanation will be offered, we just have to accept that the tp is back.

Which is what I was wondering. Pre-death i didn't think she could take on a group of hand ninjas. I just wanna make sure my girl can handle herself out there. I want her to blow up like Wolverine and Deadpool since she is more awesome.

I'll wait for her solo series. In Uncanny I doubt she'll get much panel time.

I hated everything about Psylocke in Revolution. The outfit was revolting I much prefer to the hand outfit anyday over that hot mess. I didn't like the power switch, I didn't like the outfit, the flying, breaking up with Warren for Neal.

It was a bunch of bad things to happen to Psylocke all at once.

I sometimes wonder if Betsy was killed during Psi-War as originally intended by Kelly, that when CC came back in 2000 if he would have been able to ressurect her as a British telepath?

Who knows.

[Daniel Mengsk]

I want her to blow up like Wolverine and Deadpool since she is more awesome.

I agree 100 percent with this; Betsy is probably up there with those guys in terms of fighting-skills. That's also (yes, I'm aware that people don't agree with me on this) one of the reasons to why she shouldn't join up with X-Force just yet. I think that current Betsy is so..."deadly"....that she would probably be of better use for Cyklops as a single operating agent. Think of her as Elektra or Nikita.

I'll wait for her solo series. In Uncanny I doubt she'll get much panel time.

Actually, I'm hoping that Nation X will be her big breaktrough - that, and the mini combined. :wink:

CmX - LOL I knew you would react to that; I ment to say "I'm ecstatic that the telepathy is back - but we shouldn't expect any kind of thorough explanation for its return, we will probably never get one anyways." ;)

Well Betsy sorta gave an explaination, it was in #512 she said she had regained them through her travels with the Exiles. That's fine enough for me IMO.

It's better than her just randomly showing up and displaying her TP like the way she did with the TK in revolution. Gross.

Well they did that say Magneto and Psylocke would have bigger roles soon (emphasized not together, but on their own) and I think this will happen during Nation X, plus with her mini series.

Fraction said he also had stories planned for Betsy next year also, I'm excited.

[.LuckyStar.]

Hate Fraction all you want, but let's face it. He brought her back to the X-Men, he gave her telepathy back and he actually used her for three stories in a row (Siterhood, X-Club, Utopia), which is more than any other X-Men sans Cyclops and Emma had in his run. It's a great time to be a Psylocke fan. :D

The problem with the telekinesis is that it is so immensely powerful that Betsy shouldn't be able to lose a single fight with it - and yet she gets killed by a moron whose only ability is a bit of superstrenght - that, and the ability to carry a big sword? That's why her telepathy should be her primary power from now on. She can still keept her high-level teke, but I want to see her using it only when it matters (create a teke-shield when a Shi'ar battleship attacks etc), not to fly around and open wormholes to other dimensions (*irony*).

Yes, I'm exicted about the prospect of Liza finally taking a leadership role for her people, her family. :)

[infernohara]

And Psylocke fans we are!!

I didn't read the revolution series, but i don't like that they broke her and Angel up. They were a good couple and her picking up Neal like that seemed out of character and desperate. Betsy is awesome though and no man will ever define her, but it is nice to know that through fraptionization, warren still has feelings for her.

I did not know she had a big part in Nation X. Interesting. Between her solo series and this "revelation" looks like someone else will get some spotlight!!

[CmX]

Baby bop! Yeah I'm not ashamed to say I don't hate Fraction's run on X-Men. I admit SFX sucked, so did Lovelorn, Sisterhood was okay, but X-Club one-shot and Utopia have been entertaining.

So I'm definitely liking his run a lot better, hope he can keep it that way! I think he should get Alan Davis to alternate with Dodson. I don't think Land helps Fraction's scripts.

The TK wasn't that powerful at the time though right? Also she didn't use telepathy during the fight with Vargas (a man that was the next evolution of human to counter mutants). He kinda just out fought her and killed her I thought.

I would like her to find the balance between TP and martial arts.(primarily where the TK will be used) The TK should be purely defensive and offset any weaknesses in fighting skill and the telepathy should be more fine tuned and deal with the "lesser" or higher level threats. Also reading people's minds during fighting should come back :evilsmile:. I love it when she gets nasty.

[Slung]

I actually wish she'd lose the TK. It was such a mess to give it to her in the first place. It doesn't really fit either her ninja persona OR her British psychic who WISHES she could be a physical powerhouse.

[Daniel Mengsk]

Admiral Adama agrees with you. lol

She and Angel were a terrible couple, but I agree that Neal was worse. It's hard to look at that X-Treme X-Men flashback scene.

Telepathy is much better for ninja killing.

[Daniel Mengsk]

The TK wasn't that powerful at the time though right?

Actually, it was Jean Grey's original teke, so yeah, it was actually hella powerful! LOL

That's why she shouldn't have died in such a stupid way against Vargas - what, she couldn't have created a teke-shield to defend herself? Not cool CC, not cool at all.

On another note, I've noticed that this thread just hit the 7000-post mark, so...

And i agree with CmX. Though Fraction isnt perfect. He is doing stuff with Psylocke that isnt dreadful unlike like CC who gaves us Betsy/Sabes loving. I hated that shit. I cant wait for more.

Lose the bandanas. Otherwise, I like it.
Short hair is something you don't normally see on Asian Betsy.
It's different, still functional, and I like the colour scheme too, minus the bandanas.

Her costume has pants, so it's okay I think. I just like the fact that Betsy's costume wardrobe keeps growing all the time. :)

[peopleofpaper]

I hope they hook Magneto & Psylocke up :evilsmile: Just to see everyone's reaction. But seriously, they seem to like making her a villian-ish type in the cartoons and movie so I wouldn't put it past them someday. THEY WILL REIGN SUPREME and wear purple.

Jean and Storm were what kept my Betsy out of the spotlight back in the 90s. I won't tolerate it again. And I will eat Xena's face, Giles. :evilsmile:

As for Revolution Betsy: I had just come back from a short hiatus from comics (about 6 months or so) and saw Betsy moving parts of the space shuttle and I was like "Uuuugh wtf?". I did not like her with telekinesis at all. I wanted the telepathy. I liked the costume though because it had pants. Could've done without the 80s bandana and scarf.

As for which Betsy I like the most? Current Betsy is my favorite. She is in the body I love a little more (to me both bodies ARE Betsy's anyway), she has telepathy AND telekinesis which I've wanted her to have since she was resurrected.

I can't wait to see what she can and can't do though. The suspense is killing me!

Yeah, with her having both TP and TK, then there's no need to change her powers ever again. Or have an ambiguous power set where she was still having precog visions, clairvoyant flashes, and delving into her own mind while supposedly telekinetic only.

Yeah during Uncanny I always wondered why on earth was betsy strolling around in the psi-plane while being JUST a tk. I Remember Jean doing that to, but she was using Cerebro, so it just confused the living heck outta me. Eventually I settled with meditation...

Well I think it was stated in the issue that she was meditating while stuck on the blackbird? I could be mistaken.

I wonder if CC was going to restore her telepathy? Ever since her ressurection Psylocke constantly commented on how she was once a telepath, it seems as though CC hadn't moved from her being a telepath, but at the same time he never moved to do it he only furthered her abities as a telekinetic.

The scene that sticks out in my head is when she finds the broken shards of her telepathy.

Either way I could care less and won't even waste my time pondering any of CC's MANY abandoned plots, that guy just didn't know how to end a story.

Psylocke is a telepath once again and I couldn't be happier.

Yeah, CC did take way too long with his subplots. Usually I don't mind, but with him he was always moving from book to book or there'd be some kinda status quo change that would cause him to just drop subplots. At least now I don't think we'll get that.

She needs to shop with Rogue right now.

[CmX]

Yeah, CC did take way too long with his subplots. Usually I don't mind, but with him he was always moving from book to book or there'd be some kinda status quo change that would cause him to just drop subplots. At least now I don't think we'll get that.

Don't make up excuses for him. Look at writers like Mike Carey and Yost & Kyle, they've lost characters/titles and they still manage to work out their long running plots. CC, not so much.

All the (good) X-girls need to go shopping together again.

Betsy and ....?

[Daniel Mengsk]

Betsy and ....?

....Ali.......?.......and Rogue....?......X-2...3..... Is this a trick question or something?

[samhalliwell]

Betsy and ....?

Jean, Rogue, Not-married Storm, and Polaris.

Aplomb, Gilesy.

[coveredinbees]

I wanted to see who you guys think Betsy should be friends with.

Jean, Rogue, Not-married Storm, and Polaris.

I'd like to see Polaris and Psylocke when she comes home.

[samhalliwell]

I see the four I mentioned as Sex and the City kind of group, though they don't all fir perfectly into any of the archetypes.

[lockerogue]

I would like to see Dazzler, Rogue, Storm, Northstar, and Polaris.

[SJNeal]

Jean, Rogue, Not-married Storm, and Polaris.

Aplomb, Gilesy.

Yes please! Lorna is probably my second favorite X-Woman (even when she was crazy) and needs to get back to Earth, preferably as a full time member of the team.

[infernohara]

she wasn't in the last x-men legends game?
Nah. They didn't even mention her (unless you had a PC and downloaded her). The first Legends let you play as her (late in the game) and Marvel alliance had you fight her.


I found it pretty awesome that Psylocke was the premiere X-girl in video games, while the other gals couldn't transfer their powers properly. Literaly stabbing people with that psychic knife was excellent stuff.......which reminds me, I miss the knife. I know the swords give her more range and all, but she doesn't stab people in the head with the swords...only the knife got that kind of love. So Psylocke please stab some heads in your solo series...at least once.

[Drey]

Don't make up excuses for him.

I love it when you take charge. :smile:

Look at writers like Mike Carey and Yost & Kyle, they've lost characters/titles and they still manage to work out their long running plots. CC, not so much.

Yes, you're right. They're the continuity kings of Marvel right now. Ok I'm gonna go back to the corner now and face the wall while standing on one leg. :redface:

This picture needs to be on every page of the Psylocke thread indefinitivly.
:biggrin:

[cgar]

:redface:

Right isnt it SEXY. DAMN

Oh yah Psylocke is awesome and we better make her mini sell more then Storms

And do we know if she'll interact with any other xmen in her mini. Just asking?

[CmX]

quick question...does psylocke know kwannons entire life? like since there minds were melded is psylocke aware of how kwannon grew up and ended up becoming a ninja etc? if so, i'd love to see a kwannon origin tale.

I think so. Their minds were pretty much fused into one, they shared abilities and Kwannon's psyche greatly influenced Psylocke into flirting with Scott.

Not to mention when Kwannon died, Psylocke felt it mentally.

[Seccruz]

Yeah, but as she died, revanche transfered her telepathy to Matsu'o and he later removed Kwannon's memories while restoring Betsy's power levels...So, no I don't think that Betts still has Kwannon's memories...

[Anon_me]

:S what?!? you can't be serious...





and this is why i depise betsy being a telepath. there are far too many of them, and the ones that are currently around have been given firm places telepathic superiority, betsy getting her telepathy back will only have her ending up being a WEAK telepath. with the current powerset that psylocke has she should be weak in both areas. i want psylocke to be able to use her telekinesis to augment her strength and create telekinetic shields/weapons and thats it. her telepathy should allow her to only read minds no mental blasts no astral plane battles none of that crap.

TK + TP; she could be Jean v.02 =p

[lockerogue]

It's too bad there are so many mutants with mental abilities. It led Psylocke to always only being second best because of Jean and Emma. She'll never be number one because of Professor X, Jean and now Emma so she's been on the B-list too many times. Other mutants with their own specialized powers get to shine a lot more.

I agree with you but Psylocke was more creative in the uses of her telepathy than compared to Xavier, Jean, and Emma. Like when she skiing after her eyes got stabbed and she used it to see through other people's eyes.

[CmX]

TK + TP; she could be Jean v.02 =p

Exactly. That's why I don't like the TK at all.

Jean should just stay a telekinetic, Emma TP/diamond, and Psylocke TP/fighting skills.

Those three should be the only telepaths around, when Jean returns that is, with Xavier still off doing his own thing.

I agree with this whole-heartedly!

Psylocke used her telepathy to communicate with Jeffries underwater in the latest Dark Avengers. Yay for telepathic Betsy!

Did she? I thought they were talking through like built in walkie talkie's in face mask.

[psycwave]

I not even gonna try and catch up with all the conversation.

[Anon_me]

The speech bubbles had those little lines coming out of them which usually means telepathic talk.

[psycwave]

Well, it's probably because I've been sipping on your soul for months now, preparing you (and others) for the potential war with Marvel if Psylocke is not treated to our satisfaction. :evilsmile:


OMG this is so hot right now.

Thanks guys! (or girls...?) :cool:

It depends on how im feeling that day.

[peopleofpaper]

anyone have scans of psylocke in utopia. i didn't buy any of them because i hate the story. does she look good at least?

[psycwave]

This picture of Psylocke is so elegant lol (http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/4300000/psylocke-x-men-women-4390123-1024-819.gif)

[CmX]

I'm sad that the X-Men won't be in their Marin base anymore! I thought it was pretty neat, at least Betsy got a few issues living there lol

I'm guessing when Dark Reign is over, the X-Men will move back to the NY Institute?

I'm glad to see Psylocke play a role in this cross over, it's been interesting so far and only one chapter left until Nation X! Well we still have that one issue where Beast departs to go.

[infernohara]

No scans, but she looked good. She wasn't in her new outfit from the previous issue. Back to the thong the thong thong thong.

Love her whatever she wears.

Well then start asking different creators if you want to see some change. I do, and so does LuckyStar we just don't gripe as much.

Just read DA 8. LOVED Betsy talking to Jeffries with her TP...It totally made my day!!!

[psycwave]

So i had a dream last night that it was November and I had just purchased Psylocke #1. I was so excited to get home and read it. I couldn't do it as i was driving home as I knew I was sure to crash for paying more attention to th comic then the road. I fially got home and as I was opening the comic up to read the first page, my roommates alarm clock went off and woke me up.

I officially hate him now.

[jarrod]

Betsy and ....?
Storm, Rogue, Bling!, Trance, Dani, Karma, Magik, Irma, Northstar and Dagger.

So her telepathy is back? I have missed so much :(

[CmX]

Where have you been darling? I require your presence in the Psylocke thread!

Yeah, it has been confirmed in Uncanny #512, and also in multiple interviews by Fraction and Yost both that her telepath is in fact returned.

[psycwave]

So her telepathy is back? I have missed so much :(

YOU BITCH! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!? I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE!!

Welcome back.

What news of Psylocke? Good news I hope.

[psycwave]

She is a top premiere X-Woman again. Her mini starts in November. And Kwannon is still dead.
Everything is wonderful.

[psycwave]

This is also a funny little blog i found about Continuity errors and Psylocke's butt being one of them.

[Drey]

I'm glad you approve. :wink:

I just finally read Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-men #8 because I've had so many comics to read and between work, school, and homework I've been pressed for time. Anyway, I was ecstatic to see Betsy use telepathic communication!!

This really does mean that she's a true telepath again! I've noticed that I kinda like her hanging out with Madison Jeffries too. Hmmm.

Man, there's so much potential dynamics between Betsy and all these characters, both old and new. This is awesome.

[Aguja]

Oh good I didn't miss her mini. Also glad to hear she is doing something of worth with the X-Men. She is officially back with Warren?

I will still mourn for Kwannon's death and one day will convince Mike Carey to resurrect her!

[CmX]

psylocke has barely ANYTHING to do with this crossover. her role in it is BEYOND insignificant.

Okay pookie.
