Psylocke Appreciation Thread

[wonderland]

I just think that Fraction and Brubaker got first dibs, then X-Force, then everyone else. But thats just my opinion. I heard Brubaker doesnt even like Psylocke. And Fraction isnt doing THAT great. I guess its decent

Brubaker is a Moron and I hope he NEVER gets his hands on her.

Does Brubaker like any of the xmen?

Hopefully her return in x-infernus (if that's where she returns) is awesome, maybe uncanny will have improved by the time of Betsy's arrival..if the rumours are true it should be just Fraction by then...right?

It is just Fraction now as well, the 501-503 arc is his baby.

Really? I kinda liked Uncanny better with only Brubaker then. lol The current arc is so boring. :frown: I hope Fraction likes Psylocke.

He likes Cyclops and Angel quite a bit. Hates Rachel though. :frown:

Well, at least I know Warren will have a decent role :frown:

[jarrod]

I dunno, given rumors I get the feeling that Fractions going to be the sole driving force in Uncanny pretty soon.

I've read those rumors, too, but apparently they have planned out up to issue 530 already. It's quite a number, but I suppose Bru could decide and leave earlier. I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Just because a comic book has been plotted out doesn't mean it's set in stone.

Well, that's certainly good news for me. And everyone else, considering the amount of disdain Bru seems to have towards any X-Character that isn't Cyclops.

In fact, I think Bru's writing would be better if he had a "Cyclops" solo book. His work on Daredevil and his collaboration with Fraction in Immortal Iron Fist kinda prove how much better he works in solos.

[Mystique25]

I guess I've been completely missing the news on Psylocke, but where has it been said that she is coming back? I mean I figured New Exiles was gonna end pretty soon, but I didn't know when.

They're just taking her back from NExiles, the book isn't getting cancelled yet. It took me out of the blue when these guys here threw it out there that X-Infernus was her return point, but I was more than pleasantly surprised :smile:

Psylocke is awesome. for the win. anyways those squdouches didnt put my question up for Yost/Kyle X-Position. Hella annoying

They probably didn't choose your question cause someone did ask about Psylocke several weeks ago. And they said she could possibly made the cut (no pun intended)

I kinda wonder though whether she fits the 'out of the box' character. It could mean ' totally unexpected'. But could it also mean 'out of the universe'?

[CmX]

I kinda had a inkling that they wouldn't include our Psylocke questions haha Oh well! Let's start sending in those Betsy questions for Carey!

Let's all be really annoying about it, but if we don't ask then who will right! :)

[.LuckyStar.]

LOL
I've sent my question to Carey!

Guys, let's be annoying to C.B. Cebulski too lol
He lurks around his board everyday, but he won't answer me lol

There is another Psylocke question at Ben Morse's board.

Hi Ben!

I was wondering... what's the deal with Psylocke returning to the X-Men titles? Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but she seemed to be firmly in the hands of Chris Claremont on NEW EXILES. Was it a matter of a creator asking for her specifically or did the X-editors simply want to shuffle things around a bit?

Also, does any writer have a specific plan for her that you know of? I'd hate for her to be brought back to 616 only to be stuck to guest-appearances.

And... any scoop whether she's going to be Asian or British? Telepath or telekinetik? Sorry to bother you but I'm in full-Betsy-mode LOL

Thanks for your time, any bit of behind-the-scenes-info and hint about her future is very appreciated

Cosstanza

Can't really get into the behind the scenes stuff, but check out X-Infernus and then around the rest of the X-Universe beginning in December for all your Psylocke-related answers!

It was a good question. Too bad Ben didn't answer the 'behind the scene' question.
I like the bit he said about checking 'around the X-Universe'. Does it mean that we'll see Betsy in more than one title?

I liked the sound of "X-Univese" too. :biggrin:

I skipped it since it was supposed to only feature Cat and Sabretooth.

I did. It was 'okay'. A little better than last arc, although there was of course the repetitive dialogue, "MY TURN, WHAT THE DEVIL, OKAY BOSS!" crap, and the empowered kickass heroine cliche that CC loves to do to death.

--Spoilers..

Psylocke appears in one panel as a flashback and Sage well, the Sage from Cat's world appears in Cat's memories. We got a little more info on her character and Cat kills Hydra Wolverine by removing his claws and killing him with them. Then on the last page Cat is talking to a mysterious figure we don't see who it is for some reason we're left to assume it's one of the Exiles' by they weren't revealed or shown so it was kinda a mystery for whatever reasons.

Nice cover?

[psycwave]

So I just have to wait two more onths for my Betsy fix in a good book. Challenging but i think i can do it.

I think Im good for the time being.. I can be patient.. I just watched the Wolverine and X-men episode with her in it.
Emma kicked her ass, but she was great in it, her spanish accent was Great. She didnt look asian at all. So seeing her onscreen again is like seeing her for the first time.:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

LOL Thanks guys. I agree with you CmX, I thought it was better than the previous issues. I kinda liked this one.

So next issue begins Betsy's last NEXiles arc! I. can't. wait. :biggrin:

[hotrodimus]

psylocke.. i wish was more prominent in the MU. ... but just because i enjoyed using her in the old arcade game marvel super heroes. at first i did find it kinda weird that they included her (in a small roster of 10) .. but then i realized not a bad choice anyway.

they probably included her just because they needed a female character, and since they have sprites from x-men:cota, it was an easy port. why her over storm, not sure why

Yeah.. i also kinda want her to be more prominent in the MU. Her background story actually allows her to be that. As an X-Man, an Exiles, a British Heroein, had ties with Mandarin and Hand, Marvel could actually use her outside of the X-Men.

In regard of the arcade game... Psylocke was so much fun to use compared to Storm. She was agile, had cool and versatile power. Moreover, we can use her moves to make numerous combos. Not to mention she also had some kickass, yet graceful Final moves.

Im glad she wa sin the game also, as it got her name out there for the world to know.
but at the same time, she basically became the Team sex goddess. Where as in her British form she was headed towards greatness, until the stupid Seige Perilous ordeal.
She was leading the X-men, I would have loved to see where Psylocke would have taken them.
She was the Anti Xavier. She was actually out in the field with her team, not only providing support, but taking an active role in defeating challenges.

I just can't see the Asian one doing that.

It's a new week, hopefully more great news forthcoming^^:biggrin:

Bad news?

Thanks so much for posting!

Now I hate to have to burst your bubble, but unfortunately Betsy will not be showing up in X-Infernus. I love the character and will admit that there was some initial talk of maybe including Psylocke in the series. However, in the end, it felt like we were unnaturally shoehorning her in and we decided it was not in the best interests of the character to have her play a role here. While I regret not being able to write her, I think we did make the best decision for the lovely Miss Braddock.

Hopefully we'll be seeing more of Psylocke in the Marvel Universe in the future in some way, shape or form. I know I'd love to have her back as soon as possible!

Take care,
C.B.

Well, Ben Morse still talks about Betsy in X-Infernus, but Cebulski is the writer, right? Oh well.. :frown:

[CmX]

They are worried about "shoehorning" her into a storyline? Yet all the other writes shoehorn, Wolverine, Storm, Emma Frost, Cyclops into every plot it seems they can. Why not Betsy? It's not as though she's appearing in so many other titles that anymore appearances would seem forced.

[cgar]

WWWWWTTTTTTFFFFF!!!!!!!! Why the hell did Ben Morse say she was going to be appear in it then. SHIET! Im annoyed right now. So is she coming back at all? Whats the deal?!

[.LuckyStar.]

I'm so annoyed too. ¬¬ The last time Ben Morse mentioned Psylocke in X-Infernus was a week ago and now Cebulski says she's not in it. Have they changed plans in a week time? Maybe they didn't tell Morse about the changes :rolleyes:
CmX, that's what I thought too. lol
At this point, we're back to square one. We don't know anything about her return. Assuming she's still returning. :rolleyes:

[KMar]

WOW. i just join this forum really excited about Psylocke's return from crappiness, just to find out she's NOT in X-Infernus????!!!!! I feel really ripped off! First I find out that Madelyne Pryor isn't going to be in it like I hoped, and now Psylocke?

[CmX]

WWWWWTTTTTTFFFFF!!!!!!!! Why the hell did Ben Morse say she was going to be appear in it then. SHIET! Im annoyed right now. So is she coming back at all? Whats the deal?!

I originally heard that Psylocke was returning in X-Infernus about two months or so ago. Then I heard she was appearing to return in Uncanny instead.

Then a not too long ago Morse said she was slated for XInfernus. I was thinking WTF.

But what I guess what happened was that he didn't realize she was cut from the mini. She's still returning to 616 next year, just not in XInfernus. :)

Sounds like a Marvel editorial Mix up of the Finest (Worst) Kind. I think Joe Q, has the mindset of a pigeon, when things come across his desk he probably goes with first gut reaction. No matter what Fans or writers seem to want.

Ugh im so pissed...I wanted to see Betts in X-infenus

They are ever shifting...but she will be back.

Enough of that. We aren't going to get an answer of where it's a freak'n spoiler to the arc. We need to ask about Psylocke possibly being a telepath, or her roles on the team etc.,

Ask questions that show interest in her character that they don't know is there.

Not "when, where" because we already know and they are only going to be coy about it.

Maybe if/when she gets sent back to the 616, CC will have an alternate reality Psylocke who is still British and telepathic join the Exiles team.

In any case, I'm not even TOUCHING that argument, lol.

If anyone was to throw a jealous fit (though I doubt it), it would be Warren first, since he's nearby. Amanda must be a nightmare of an ex, though.

[XaviersMisprint]

someone once described psylocke to me as "a pregnant barracuda".

it was in reference to her bikini floss outfit, which i can't say i disagree. she needs to get out of exiles, get ANOTHER new costume, and get written by mike carey ASAP!

[psycwave]

Who do you think Betsy is closest with in the X-universe. My top 5 in no particular order.

1.Brian Braddock-her twin brother, of course they're close
2.Wolverine-Betts and Logan go way back and have gone through a lot together. I could see them as bestfriends almost
3. Storm-Storm was there when Betts first joined the X-men and the two really fored a close bond. Aussie days/even the recent Claremont reload
4.Nightcrawler-their recent friendship.......BURTSY!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Colossus/Rogue/Dazzler/Havok-all others apart of the Aussie days. they were all pretty close together.

i'd switch it just a tad.

1. Her bro and number 1 fan.
2. Storm.. They REALLY Bonded a lot through various times and splat books.
3. Wolverine: I think through the years, they became close, even though he did vouch for her to join. If not for Logan (and a retcon), We got the most awesome armor)
4. Colossus. They seemed to be forming a great relationship, even though she was the older woman. He kinda become her protector, hopping to her defense on several occasions, and the art he made of her, probably made them close to.
5. Nightcrawler, somewhat before asianification, a ton afterward.

6. Everyone else.

I omited Doug Ramsey.. because well he wasnt legal yet ^^.

[jarrod]

Betsy and Gambit were makeout buddies btw, he admitted as much to Vargas. I wonder if they ever told Rogue?

Yes and as payback she forced Betsy to wear the ninja buttfloss that was so similar to theCarol Danvers outfit that Betts was so turned off by at first sight.:redface:

[Tazirai]

Just found this site. Tells the UK side of Betsy. She was first introduced in 1976.. 2 years AFTER I was born.. lol:biggrin:

http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/b/betsy.htm

A small quote from the site... Which I agree with.
Comments: It's a mess, isn't it? When she was being written by Alan Moore and Alan Davis, the character was handled with respect and common sense. When it was Chris Claremont he didn't do so badly (most of the time). Everyone else just seems to have decided to play silly beggars, changing any which way took their fancy.

Seems I'm not the only person who thinks they messed things up somewhat. "Chris" wrote to say "The whole Kwannon/Revanche story was badly researched and conradicted prior continuity (Wolverine recognizing Betsy's face even after the plastic surgery that made her look Asian, the presence of the bionic eyes in the Asian body). Marvel never acknowledged this, but they tried to "fix" the story by quickly killing off Revanche/Kwannon and making some odd statements about Spiral being involved in the whole body swap situation, blending both women's minds AND bodies - whatever that means.

I prefer to regard the Lady Mandarin story as canon (Betsy being brainwashed by the Mandarin and receiving plastic surgery so she could run the underworld for him) and the whole Kwannon/Revanche bit as a deception that has never been explained."

Yeah. That truly was ridiculous.

I strongly suggest that people read that link, and the Alan Moore Captain Britain run. She was far more interesting pre-X-Men. Her entre association with the team, which has had no real room for her in years as it is, has become a giant millstone around her neck. Such an incredible shame that a character who showed such possibilities and potential as a government agent, with psychic and precog powers has been relegated to a cheesecake ninja in a bathing suit.

A waste of giant-sized proportions.

Dazzler and Psylocke have so much in common! :tongue:

Hopefully Dazzler's latest Uncanny role will be a turn for the better; I'm already happier with her current presentation than I have been in years. There's hope for Psylocke, she just needs a capable writer to realize her potential.

Oh absolutely. Carey in particular would have done a great job if he'd been allowed the chance. The problem for me is that now we're getting a big revival of the very book that spawned the character, at its highest profile ever, and she is permitted to be part of that. It's the obvious place she should be, with the space to accommodate and explore the character, but instead she's being used in a tired retread old stories in an alternate universe, in a title which surely can't be safe fro the axe for another 6 months.

Huge waste.

I am actually kinda pleased to see Dazzler being used in Uncanny tho.

[Dagger]

I heart Betsy, and hope a return to her being a sexy spy/ninja could be done extremely well. I hope we don't get a return to the butfloss, but maybe more of like a catsuit, like the Black Cat, or Black Widow. Not much flesh shown, yet both are incredibly sexy. I'm sure the powers at Marvel can work something out.

[CmX]

Have any of yall seen this yet? It's the cover to the upcoming hardcover "Marvel Chronicle Year by Year" it's a what is sounds like. A year by year chronicle of the Marvel Universe haha To help celebrate Marvel's 70ths anniversary.

Anyway the cover is by Jim Cheung!! And Psylocke is on the cover! :o She's covered up a lot by the font, but it's still awesome that Psylocke made the cover to a Marvel Universe related book rather than simply an X-Cover.

The Shadow King didn't mention her. Storm realized something was off with T'Challa while in Wakanda then all of a sudden the Shadow King dragged her astral form onto the astral plane. Realizing it's him, she mentions that Charles and Psylocke are gone. Obviously she was referring to the fact that both of them could beat the SK since they're telepaths and she is not, as well as both having beaten him in the past. It was still weird of her to mention Betsy though in the context of people who could challenge the SK. She knows Psylocke is a telekinetic now, and while Betsy might be immune to the Shadow King's telepathy, she couldn't engage him in a psi battle.

You didn't post Psylocke in Xtreme XMen, she had that cute square cut in a ponytail! That's one of my favorites! Or in New Exiles it's slightly curled and parted to the side a bit.

Either way I vote for #8! I loved the odangos!!!

For some reason I never liked anything about Revolution Psylocke's look. I hated the outfit, the headband, the haircut. It was just way too butch for me IMO.

I liked Psylocke's hair when she cut it real short. It stuck for a couple of issues only though if that. It was by Andy Kubert IIRC.

[CmX]

Larroca's British Betsy was SO sexy. She wasn't as sexy during the 80's cause women in comics weren't considered hot back then. I think Psylocke was one of the first comic book characters to sexualize women in comic books.

[psycwave]

Personally im going for 2, 3, 5, and 8 myself. I also liked her model looks by Sal.

OR ... *fingers crossed* ... maybe this mini is out of sequence? Maybe something is meant to happen to restore Psylocke's telepathy over in the ongoing books, but this mini came out too early?

Back i those issues Betsy and Brian were far more like equals on that book. Especially in the Delano/Davis run. She got quite a fair chunk of page time, and all of the development that made the character into that which she was when she joined the X-men will be contained in this volume.

[Raptor]

Agreed.

I'll be honest I liked the old exiles comic, the new one....not so much.

Betsy needs to finally kill Slaymaster and go home, where I don't care, but we need her mainstream again.

[jarrod]

Betsy needs to take Sage with her when he leaves for 616 too! With Bogan in X-Force and Farouk in Wakanda, 616 needs Sage and Betsy like never before!

She did mention that. But I think she alluded to the Telepathic Version of Psylocke.. SInce the TK version would have a hard time vs Shadow King.

I'm Still trying to figure out how Slaymaster became her Main Enemy. When it was Sabretooth she fought more than once.

They are both have beaten up on each other.
He beat her the first outing.
Second confrontation all her.. In British Body at that.
3rd time he eviscerated her.

Slaymaster has more of a Mental fear thing, That I can understand.. but I see it more as conquering her fear, than her main foe.

[psycwave]

Maybe Betsy is having a Wolverine moment. Like she will be appearing in more than one book. Like we will see her return in Uncanny but see what leads to her return in NEX. I HOPE THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!

[jarrod]

Actually, Betsy would work wonderfully against Farouk. Her teke blade still does psychic damage and he literally couldn't touch her now that she's largely closed to psychics.

Betsy's more dangerous now to telepaths than she's ever been.

wouldnt betsy's blade not work on the astral plane? Everytime a Tk tries to fight SK he ends up smacking them down pretty hard. I havent been reading new exiles so i dont know what new developments have occured for betsy since she went there.

Well, she maybe couldn't even get on the astral plane but she could easily sever Farouk's link with the physical world. She did it in New Excalibur actually.

Well, she's also RIP... but then Ororo thinks Xavier is too. :/

What I can't figure out... why mention Emma? She has like zero history with Farouk?

i also think its interesting that she mentioned betsy and not rachel or jean. storm knows who to call in a real fight lol

Probably because Psylocke has defeated Shadow King twice before and has a history with him. And cause Psylocke is badass. :)

Hell Yeah!! She did defeated Shadow King. TWICE!!!

And TK Psylocke also worked with an entity like Shadow King..
THis is her last encounter with Shadow King, in New Excalibur #8, written by Mr Yost himself:

It's sad that her encounter with SK, has cost her quite a bit. The first time it happened, it cost her telepathy. The second time around it exiled her from the main X-book.:frown:

Oh.. I've been away for quite sometime from CBR's forum. Guess I have to catch up a bit with the Betsy's discussions :D

i guess she's coming back in January and not December. New Exiles needs to disappear like asap

Maybe Betsy is having a Wolverine moment. Like she will be appearing in more than one book. Like we will see her return in Uncanny but see what leads to her return in NEX. I HOPE THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!

LOL That's why! Uncanny 506 cover features Psylocke! *is dreaming* lol

Well.. I'm very curious with Uncanny 506 cover. Will Psylocke be in it?? LOL.. maybe we should keep on dreaming.. then it can come true.. LOL..

I'm not so sure about the New Exiles 17 being a one issue story, CC never mentioned about one issue story except for the annual.. Since issue #17 is about Psylocke (vs Slaymaster), shouldn't we get to see her on the cover? Too bad we won't get more Psylocke cover, drawn by Alex Garner. He drew very good Psylocke IMO.

Damn it, so two of CC's pet character have multiple personality disorder at the moment.. The only thing Betsy should keep from L. Mandarin is her suit.

I dunno.., while I found the issue is average, I really liked Betsy's story. Yeah I thought she already done that in issue #10. But IMO, there were some good scenes when she had to 'kill' Lady Mandarin soul. I think it's interesting that she had to 'kill' herself.. Of course it's an alternate.. But still..
Well, at least we know now that she finally got rid of L Mandarin soul and ready to face Slaymaster

Oh.. And I liked these panels. She looked so badass. Grummet sure can draw good Betsy.

I posted this over in the Dazzler thread, but I thought it warranted a shout out here:

The Aussie X-Women seemed like genuine friends and their relationship seemed very real. I remember reading when Storm "died" in the Outback and when Psylocke convinced the X-Men to go through the Siege Perilous soon afterward to escape death at the hands of the Reavers. It was a poignant moment in which they all seemed to grapple with the enormity of their decision, realizing they'd lose their special friendship and perhaps never see each other again. Reading this again so many years later, I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for Psylocke to even suggest this option.

I have to confess, I miss this Psylocke. It's not about her British body vs. her Asian body or anything, but just the portrayal of her character: a strong, capable woman who wasn't uber-powerful, who was very much aware of her physical limitations but was still a force to be reckoned with nonetheless.

I totally agree. I was so excited to see Dazz and Betsy sharing panel in New Excalibur after all this time, but then they barely talked to each other, that was kinda disappointed. :frown:

I liked that British Betsy was kinda morally ambiguous. Poor Havok, first Betsy suggests the X-Men to kill him, then she reads his mind without his permission, and then she telepathically convinces him to enter the Siege Perilous. lol She was hardcore :biggrin:

Just in case you guys missed this information regarding the New Exiles #18 cover:

Hey Kids!
Okay, just so you know, I didn't place the characters on the Exiles 18 cover in any order denoting the possibility of imminent death. Honestly some characters got closer placement just cuz I always wanted to draw them! I'm looking at you, Spidey 2099!

[psycwave]

Aussie X-men has to be one of my fav X-teams to date. It had all great caracters and it even made me like Havok(which is pretty hard to do). It showed that Betsy could actually shape up to become a capable leader and that Ai had a lot of untapped potential. Rogue wasn't as whiney in those days either and Colossus was just great. Storm was as hardcore as ever and Wolverine was just....Wolverine. Then their was Longshot. Nonetheless The Aussie era was what really made me like Psylocke and she had the armor in those days which was a plus.:biggrin:

And that, kids, was Betsy Braddock. The first revamp via the Hand tweaked the formula a little, made her a little trendy for the times...but Betsy had always been a sort of Wolverine with psi powers. She was Emma Frost as a good guy long before Emma became the super heifer she is today. You could have easily subbed Betsy for Emma in Gen X.

I agree whole heartily. Now adays to show a woman as "STRONG" She has to be able to beat up men and shoot ray beams, and pose sexy, and act snarky, and be a martial arts expert. Back then it was about storytelling. Storytelling can be good with a woman who is a ninja or not. BUT when your character devolves from their roots thats a foul.

Green Lantern ..fell off and got good again under great writers.
Superman, Thor, Legion, Punisher, all got GREAT under the right people. To me there should be a test when writers want to take over a book.
They need to know about the characters history and past.

It was a poignant moment in which they all seemed to grapple with the enormity of their decision, realizing they'd lose their special friendship and perhaps never see each other again. Reading this again so many years later, I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for Psylocke to even suggest this option.

Below is an excerpt:

I have to confess, I miss this Psylocke. It's not about her British body vs. her Asian body or anything, but just the portrayal of her character: a strong, capable woman who wasn't uber-powerful, who was very much aware of her physical limitations but was still a force to be reckoned with nonetheless.

Seeing those images make me chills!! I started reading Ninja Betsy.. thought she was bad ass. But reading back issues of the Aussie X-Men was what make me fall in love with her.. She's absolutely awesome!!!
Hell.. I don't care if she's in british or asian body, I just want writers to write her with strong character just like the Aussie days..

And that, kids, was Betsy Braddock. The first revamp via the Hand tweaked the formula a little, made her a little trendy for the times...but Betsy had always been a sort of Wolverine with psi powers. She was Emma Frost as a good guy long before Emma became the super heifer she is today. You could have easily subbed Betsy for Emma in Gen X.

Wolverine with psi power. I like it!
I actually really liked the transformation. Early ninja (and tp) Betsy was also cunning, witty and use her power effectively with the newly gained fighting skills.
As much as the 90's gave her the popularity she had those days, I also think that it damaged her as a character. Now generally people think her as an asian ninja bitch who wears swimsuit.

The thing is, I don't think Marvel would like her to be portrayed as a character she once was (Aussie, early 90s) cause they already have their golden X-woman.. Miss Emma Frost.
Don't get me wrong, I love Emma. But I think she's been pushed down our throat so badly in the expense of the other X-Women and her character has been changed towards Jean Grey v.2. Hell.. she even complained about it in the SI:X-Men #3. LOL .

C'mon Marvel, please bring back our Betsy to 616 and let her character to shine like those Aussie/early 90s days..
At this point, I just wish Betsy become the martial artist master like she always wanted to be and just got sick of using her kungfu to hurt people. Hence she use her psi power more when fighting enemies and only use her 'deadly' ninja skills when necessary..

OMG.. I'm ranting.. LOL..

[metalgorgomon]

Here is a new topic for my Psylocke lovers. With X-23 once again in the helm of Wolvie's crew possibly Domino, who should our resident Japanese by way of Britain telepathic/telekinetic assassin mentor next of the remaining New X-men.
Should it be:
Mercury-the lquid shapeshifter with a heart of gold and killer powers
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll105/Bedlam_2008/132868-10176-mercury_super.jpg

Dust-Dust is loving, caring, and has a pure heart. Can Psylocke help her through her issues and train this young girl into a warrior.
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll105/Bedlam_2008/aaaaa.jpg

Hellion! just because he's my favourite New X-Men :biggrin:
Or Betsy can go to X-Force and reunite with X-23 <3

Ok.. I'm torn between Mercury, Dust, Hellion and X-23..

- X already has Wolverine and Domino (though I'd love to see her reunited and mentored with Betsy)
- I'd love Psylokce to mentor Dust. They're like my favorite characters. But Dust is being mentored by Dani, Berto and (possibly, in a way by) Pierce. And I've seen Emma thought some cool formation to Dust as well

That leave Mercury and Hellion.
Mercury is awesome, has great personality and lots of potential.
Hellion also has great potential, has the same poweset as Betsy but he's a jerk.

Okay. I'd love Betsy to teach Julian some manner and learning more about his power but I also want her to bond with Cessily and mentor her to be a good X-Man.. So.. she should mentor both Mercury and Hellion :smile:

I can actually see the current Psylocke in that suit. Well.. maybe change it a bit. But future artist should take into consideration this design.

Oh... for those who have facebook account, I just found Psylocke fans club/group. It's called 'The World of Psylocke'
Thought might share it to you guys..

Betsy looks lovely in lavender, I'm tired of the same old blue as her uniforms main colours. :mad:

And the results are in for my poll on the Psylocke blog!

Where do you want to see Psylocke?
1. Uncanny X-Men - 25,81%
1. X-Force - 25,81%
2. Captain Britain and MI:13 - 22,58%
3. X-Men: Legacy - 19,35%
4. Astonishing X-Men - 3,23%
4. New Exiles - 3,23%

No love for Cable and Young X-Men :tongue: Betsy should star in Uncanny, X-Force and Captain Britain :evilsmile: Any ideas for a new poll ?

[.LuckyStar.]

EN../Y asks:
Joe, you've got to bring Psylocke back to the Marvel Universe. We miss her. Any plans to do so?

JQ: We did say that this year was a "year of returns" in the X-Office, so it might just fit that Psylocke is one of the returns. You're in the right ballpark, at least. There are women coming back. Non-brunettes.

Man Betsy returning can't happen sooner! These last few issues of New Exiles are just dragging! And that's cause we still have to endure this new arc and that annual.

I don't care where in the x-universe she returns to, I just want her involved with Manifest Destiny and all the major players again!

Return Betsy so she can reunite with Kurt and Burtsy becomes a reality!!! Plus i wanna see her mentor Cess and Laura.:tongue:

I'm just waiting for a 'real' announcement... like where and when she's going to return..

Marvel has been teasing Psylocke fans... first the Diamond Summit, and now this interview.
Oh.. and I remember Ben Morse said that they're going to be lots of her appreances before the actual 'announcement'.
Gosh.. we might have to endure some more teasers.. LOL..

Fantastic pic.:biggrin:

If Betsy does return and kep the tk i hope that whoever writes her makes her use it in new innoative ways that play to her top ninja assassin status. I also hope they make her use her tk sword in a physical matter because her using it in the telepathic sense doesn't make sense.


Buts thats only if she keeps the tk. Of course i want telepathic Betsy back. But i just don't think it will happen with Queen Emma around.

[eurazn]

Of course i want telepathic Betsy back. But i just don't think it will happen with Queen Emma around.

Telepathic Betsy FTW! I don't see how it's logical to have both Rachel and Psylocke as uber-powered telekinetics, but there isn't enough room for another telepath. Emma and Betsy use their powers in different ways so I definitely see them being able to coexist.

[AcesX1X]

psylocke was dead to me the day she traded in her telepathy for telekinesis.

[rifleman101]

Burn in hell you basement dwelling DnD playing trekkie.

psylocke was dead to me the day she traded in her telepathy for telekinesis.

She didn't die.. she went into a "90's Editor" induced coma..

I hear that 90's Induced Editor coma, has a cure.. but I think the rumour on the net may be lying. :frown:

[psycwave]

Oh gawd I love telepathic Betsy but i keep thiking of all these magnificent ideas and ways for her to use her telekinesis that make me want her to keep it. Plus I just keep thinking that if they return her tp it will just add another convulted link to the chain that is her history. Im so confused on what i want for Betsy right now(power wise) aside from the fact that i want her to retrn to 616 now.

I think both would be a bit much... that's Greys territory now.

I like the teke, and I especially like the closed mind aspect to Betsy's current setup. I can see wanting to add a more psychic element, but full on telepathy is a bit much imo... maybe her old precog abilities could resurface instead?

Yeah thats kinda how i was feeling. I would love to see the precog abilities back though. A hardcore assassin telekinetic who could predict the future. As Paris Hilton would say:

"That's Hot"

I know that there might be some very cool ideas on how she can use her TK.
The thing is.. many people fell in love with how Betsy used her telepathy. I don't think many people saw TK Betsy and immediately liking her. Back in the days, she used her TP so effectively. And now, she's just a stupid overpowered telekinetic.It's been 8 years now since she got the telekinesis. Shouldn't she already master it? Or use it to complement/enhance her fighting skill?

In those 8 years of her being a telekinetic I can only remember 2 times where she use it in a interesting way.
First was in X-Treme #3 when she's already dead (ironic huh?). I remember the fighting sequence between Rogue and (holographic) Betsy. It was such a great practise. Too bad she never use her TK that way again.
Second was in New Excalibur #8, when she made Shadow Xavier (Shadow King host) had a stroke.

The closed mind is kinda double edge sword, IMO. At first I kinda like it, but it make her highly resistant (or even immune) against any telepathic attack not to mention certain magic. At her current state, she'd be more interesting as a villain than a hero. I know Claremont had a plan with her (hence all the immunity) and it concern The First (Four) Fallen? But he went ill and the execution just went bad.

I say lose the magic immunity and let her some phycic resistant instead of immunity.
If ever she gain her tp (while also retaining her tk) i say make it limited to reading minds/communication only.

I love the precog aspect. But X-Men already has Blindfold. I wonder whether Marvel allow another precog among the X-Men..

[.LuckyStar.]

I'm really tired of Betsy only using her powers as a psi-knife (TP) or a katana (TK). It's about time to do something else. I want her to be a TP again but at this point I'm kinda used to the TK too. :redface:

Indeed. Hope we'll be seeing more Betsy in that issue (and future issues :wink: ) and with different outfits.

Totally agree. It's getting old, really. Being a TK or TP is about imagination. If she'd use her power to manifest weapons, I don't think katana/knife are the only choices.

And I wanna see/read more on her personal life outside the X-Men (street wise). Does she have a job? What are her favorite designers? Her favorite drink? How she'd interact with other people? I think it'd be cool to know more about her life outside her duty as an X-Man.

[CmX]

First was in X-Treme #3 when she's already dead (ironic huh?). I remember the fighting sequence between Rogue and (holographic) Betsy. It was such a great practise. Too bad she never use her TK that way again.

That wasn't a holograph it was Betsy in a flashback. Issue three was the issue where the team all remembered Psylocke and that was Rogue's memory.

Those are some things I always wondered myself. I always wondered if Betsy was an international supermodel did she ever get recognized on the street? What do she think of the fashion world today. Would she team up with Wasp to start her own fashion line or something? Her model status was always something I wanted to be explored a bit more but it never was.

I wasn't a holograph? I must've Interpreted the scene wrong then.. Thanks for clearing it up.
Nevertheless, here are some scans of the scenes:

Betsy used her power to strike and matter manipulation

Creating TK rope (?), shield and used tactic

and of course... the Katana
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm1/metalgorgomon/Psylocke-Xtreme3-3.jpg

These are the last time i've seen Betsy used tk so effectively.And it was.. 6 years ago? Not to mention she used it only to practise not to beat a villain.

[CmX]

Yeah the giveaway that it's really Psylocke is when Neal thinks he critically wounded her.

[psycwave]

Goodness. Those scans are making me HAWT for tk Betsy at her best!!:tongue:

[metalgorgomon]

Goodness. Those scans are making me HAWT for tk Betsy at her best!!:tongue:

I wonder why CC wouldn't let her be more prominent with using her power. Aside from her fighting against the Shadow King, After her ressurection her best use of tk was blocking/holding a nuclear blast.

Of course, there's also the invisibility trick she used in Exiles. It's a pretty neat trick, IMO. But it just came out of nowhere. It'd be more believable if it's shown her practising much more difficult tricks like that one.

I also would love to see her model carrer being mentioned in future issues.
She became supermodel when she's in her old body. Now after her body/face was altered/changed/swapped, maybe people wouldn't recognise her?
Nevertheless, It'd be nice too see her still involved in the fashion industry.

She's like a Marvel senior supermodel, IMO. Pretty much in level like Naomi Campbel, Cindy Crawford or Tyra Banks while Monet is a rising star in the model/fashion industry. Betsy would probably do some selective modelling while owning her own business.

Creating a line of design with Janet seemed like a neat idea. Owning a model agency perhaps? Or work as a fashion editor in a high fashion magazine? Or hosting Marvel Next Top Model ?? :biggrin:

When it comes to Cc and Psylocke its like he lives thecharacter but doesn't always know how to show it. Sometimes he is giving her great characterization showing her how to use her powers effectively even practicing, but then he just crams her down our throat showing us all this uber power that she has mastered out of nowhwere., which makes people angry and not care for anything as much.

Well i assume people didn't recognize asian Betsy but what if she was someone(by the grace of god and a good writer) returned to her regular body? Would people once again recognize a woman who was a "face" Remeber when in X-treme X-men it was like "picked up the magazines and she ruled the covers. Just as she ruled the runways from Paris to Milan to New York" I like how when she was ressurected in Uncanny she was reading the Vogue magazine that was hot.

I really do wissh that had been acklnowledged more in Uncanny, I have to admit. Of course, in many ways now, it's kind of a moot point. The Elisabeth Braddock people knew no longer exists, in a physical sense. I doubt anybody would recognise her in her Oriental body. I mean why would they? :frown:

I think it'd make an interesting plot on her future stories. Even after her resurrection, she has shown interest in the fashion world.

Would she try out to be the supermodel like she once was? Or concern that people might not recognize her, would she try to be 'the behind the scene' player in the (fashion) industry?
Betsy also known to be some sort of rich among the X-Men along with Xavier, Warren, Emma and Sunspot. I think it'd be somewhat logical if she invest some of her money in a world she once loved so much.

Perhaps they didn't explore more about it in Uncanny, cause it wouldn't fit with the main plot there. However, that story would fit for a book loke Manifest Destiny.
I think Dazzler might get the same story about her singing career in the January 09 of Manifest Destiny.
Or.. maybe Marvel shold release a mini series, featuring our beloved Elisabeth Braddock!!

The mini could feature her time as a model in the british bod. It could show her when she first started, a corruption within the industry that prompts S.T.R.I.K.E to recruit her and so on. It would be marvelous.

Psylocke - First Class FTW! It's annoying that Betsy is probably the only major X-Men that has never had a solo series. Crimson Dawn mini doesn't count because there was Warren too. :tongue: At least, they should release an Psylocke: Origins one-shot like they did with Jean and Beast. :frown:

Psylocke - First Class FTW! It's annoying that Betsy is probably the only major X-Men that has never had a solo series. Crimson Dawn mini doesn't count because there was Warren too. :tongue: At least, they should release an Psylocke: Origins one-shot like they did with Jean and Beast. :frown:


That Crimson Dawn mini didn't count!
Psylocke definitely deserves her own mini (or if lucky.. her own Solo series!).
I like the idea of Psylocke - First Class. I also think i'd be a great idea (assuming Legacy still continues as a title and not necessarily be a Xavier book) for Carey to write a Psylocke-centric stories in X-Men Legacy.
He could combine her origin/past life (telling the story of fashion industry-STRIKE plot that psycwave mentioned) and her current life as an X-Man and how she deals with her passion for the fashion world.

Ultimate Psylocke has finally reappeared in Ultimate XMen starting with issue #98. And that's the Ultimatium arc where a lot of mutants are supposed to be killed off. I guess it's goodbye for Betsy again. :(

Yep, I think the best chance we have to read about Betsy's past is in Adjectiveless post-Legacy. Make it happen! :frown:

I hope she survives! Dazzler, Beast and Nightcrawler died in Ultimatum #1 right? Is Ultimate X-Men #98 happening at the same time as Ultimatum #1? If so then Psylocke is safe for one issue. :biggrin:

Well I read in many interviews they were going to kill off a lot of recognizable characters so many that when the titles relaunched you'd barely recognize the characters or something like that. So I wouldn't be surprised if characters like Psylocke, Toad and Pyro were randomly killed off for the sake of being killed off. Even though Ultimate Psylocke is really badass and is a telepath and has a sharper edge than 616 Betsy. Plus I love the piercings and the dark eyes.
