Looks like it.
See the featured cover of Uncanny Xmen #1
She's been de-Asian-Ninja-ized.
And she's also more conservatively dressed which is hilarious.
Like something about being put in the body of a martial artist/Gravure Idol MADE Betsy/Psylocke want to rock thongs everyday.
I don't think it's technically happened yet, it's supposed to happen in Mystery in Madripoor #4. And she's had pants for a while now...;) I'd be surprised if she was de-ninjatized though, think she'll keep that.

CB Yoshida making sweeping changes
I am reading a bit more haterage on Bishop being featured on upcoming covers.
Regular face/heel turns have been a trope within the X-Men for over twenty years.
Hopefully, that will stop once the Fox deal is complete.
I kept forgetting that Betsy was originally white.

Well, I'm assuming now that his whiteness has been restored he wants a character that mirrors his own life arc.

[font=georgia]The balls...
I really feel some kind of way now that I look back. Once I got back in to comics in the mid-00's and realized Jim Owlsley changed his name to, at the time, sounded like a PS2 gamer tag... I mean it still kinda does but nothing like this clown. How the man has not been considered for an editor-in-chief with his body of work is baffling, unless he just doesn't want to.[/font]

Kill this version off.
Bring another one back from the future.
Forget that garbage ever happened and move on.

Most people outside of comics don't even know she was originally white.
I'd probably like this reversal more if there were any plans to bring Kwannon back.

It looks like the writers did that with another time traveling mutant in the latest story, currently unfolding.
I was never even mad about Psylock having an Asian body. Like, can a soul have an ethnicity? I mean, I got [i]really[/i] high and marathoned Legend of Korra afew years back, and I was like, "She's not Aang. But she IS Aang. She's the Avaaaaaaaatar."

Yeah, shame she wasn't a very good one though.

Eh, the Xmen have had in recent times Magneto, White Queen and Sabertooth as members what's one more mass murderer more or less?
Hell, isn't Namor on Jean's X-Team now?
Bishop's just a wannabe in comparison!

I think of that was how it had been handled it might have been less problematic. Instead what we got was two separate characters and none got killed and then the other hi-jacked her body.
