Description I always felt Marvel messed up with Elizabeth 'Betsy' Braddock when they did the bodyswap storyline that resulted with the current psychic ninja version, the odd thing was she became less interesting somehow as a character, if perhaps more visually appealing to 1990's comic readers.

I always had the idea of her being the flipside to her twin brother, Brian Braddock/Captain Britain. Basically i thought her mental and psychic abilities should be as formidable as his sheer physical might ( Captain Britain is possibly the strongest human on Marvel Earth who isn't green ) and ideally giving her a magic based origin rather than being a regular Marvel mutant, to further tie in with her twin brother.

Anyhow if they ever want to restore her back to her original body, i hope they remember that she actually has blonde hair and only dyed it purple ( i kind of found it amusing that both Betsy and Revanche, the Japanese assassin who has her original body, both continued to dye their hair purple for years ). So here is my take on her.

You got your wish as in Hunt for Wolverine: Madripoor had Betsy regaining her original body and that Kwannon regained her body.

Dude, she was NEVER that interesting. See, The issue with Psylocke is that she's a pile of concepts Claremont threw on top of each other...and she looked like a goddamn strawberry ! At least the ninja swap made her somewhat more memorable because heavens know if I can tell what the strawberry looking one did. Hell she does somewhat make a fine straight man for Jubilee's daffy-esque antics and fought the Mandarin.

I liked her before she actually joined the X-men to be honest when she was a supporting character in the Captain Britain comic, but that was an age ago now.

I see. To be honest , the whole Captain Britain section was never my bag. I read Excalibur for Nightcrawler and he was fine , as well as Rachel, but the rest was not for me... thisΒ  The Fittest Bloodline Β  Β was XD

Looks like Jim Zub is fixing the Psylocke body issue. It's about time also. Can't wait for her to return toΒ her body, and be more than Sexy fake AsianΒ ninja chick trope.
Also, if Kwannon comes back they can make them a GREAT Psionic strike duo. A Telepath and a Telekinetic functioning as one unit. Kind alike the Howling Banshees in Warhammer 40k.Β 
We'll find out next month.

I keep thinking they teased something like this years before and it led to nothing. It would be welcome though if they did it, Kwannon could take the psychic ninja post in the X-men, and Betsy would be free to become a major league psychic elsewhere, be it the Avengers, Excalibur or whatever.

They brought Kwannon back in Betsy's British body for a short while before she succumbed to the Legacy Virus and went up in a blast of psychic energy.

It's one of those things that is so long forgotten, that it's not even really canon anymore... although, the Ultimate Universe remembered she wasn't always a Japanese ninja... and now I've realised that was probably the best part of 20 years ago.

The nature of serial fiction, really. What is the definitive version of any given character? Few will agree.

It wouldn't be hard to have both versions co-exist, they could have Revanche get her body back and assume the psychic ninja of the X-men role, and free up Betsy to do something within the sphere of Captain Britain, the Avengers, or whatever as a major league psychic, with either one of them taking the Psylocke name while the other adopts a new alias.

I took inspiration from one of her older outfits, but then removed the purple hair dye. Ah, Its been too long since i played a decent fighting game. Thanks
