Revanche: Kwannon Appreciation

[CRaymond]

Definitely - she's already been re-killed twice before she was even properly resurrected! Definitely a Wallflower situation here.

Which is why the Karma/Kwannon Infinity Warp almost feels like a valid and cool solution to a crowded bench of POC women in Limbo. Kwarma becomes a lesbian psychic ninja with spooky twin Tzimisce siblings to raise in Hand-held Madripoor. It’d give Xi’an adventures beyond the New Mutants, and Kwannon a personality beyond “pretty and deadly”. Leong and Nga already have a connection to Betsy that goes all the way back to the first US appearance of Psylocke, so it’s be a grudging tense relationship, rather than hero on hero violence.

I didnt even think of Kwannon as everyone assumed that was Betsy. Would have been interesting if it was Kwannon instead

If Psylocke's ghost can make a new body for herself, Kwannon's ghost can come back and reclaim her original body.

It's comics, characters come back in the weirdest and convoluted ways. Anyone remember Professor X coming back out of nowhere after his brain issue or characters being randomly alive when they died a couple of issues ago...

I hope we get some good explanation of what's been going on and how much actual time has passed.

Kwannon is in demand and I'm loving it!

Yeah, it's really good that Kelly Thompson, Leah Williams and Mariko Tamaki are all interested in giving her agency. It's less chances of her being a generic villain.

Good news! Can't wait to see how she'll look and act. Hope they have a nice arc ready for her character.

If I remembered correctly, didn't Kwannon have limited empathy powers?

[CRaymond]

"intuitive empath" with low-level telepathy

"Kwannon was an intuitive empath, at times displaying low level telepathy" - Matsu'o Tsurayaba

Dammit CRaymond beat me to it lol

[CRaymond]

For years I remembered Matsuo describing Kwannon as a low level Empath... like a latent mutant. Seems now she was a decent psychic.

Everything to do with the Kwannon retcon is trash. Bleh.

I’ve literally been begging the X-offices on twitter and other social media sites since the reveal that she’s still alive to give her her agency and autonomy.

Wonder where and how they will use Kwannon.

Yes, she was originally a little stronger than what I see people give her credit for.

I just can't wait for the mini or book she shows up in. Her past should NOT be minimized in favor of the current story.
Either have HER be the focus or put her in a book where we can learn her story.
