    Do you want her to have a new costume?

    For her to be in the same book as Kwannon?
    It is possible she could be in an Excalibur relaunch
    I want Brian-Betts & Ororo-Betts interaction.

    I think Hickman relaunch will rewrite events.

    I really don't want Kwannon as she looks now to be in an XBook....give her a costume change & new hair style if she is sticking around....and NO BUTTERFLY....that should be for Betts alone

    I'm fine with Psylocke's new look. They can change it a little bit but I hope it stays in the same vein. I hope the same thing for Storm.

    As for Kwannon, I hope she get shorter, black hair and that her and Betsy's power have also some differences. Betsy should keep the butterfly, shield and long sword for herself exclusively

    As for books I always like her in the title book, if not, a new Excalibur could be fun too.

    Jordan D. White just confirmed on twitter there are plans for Psylocke.

    british betsy should have been reduced back to a mere telepath. all psionic weaponary should have been returned to kwannon. betsy being returned to her old form makes her prettty much useless and irrelevant. she was far better asian.

    That may have been too drastic of a change for the character especially after almost 30 years. They do that on top of the body swap and she might as well be a completely different character than who people came to be a fan of since she’s then left with nothing of her previous character.

    Especially since the psychic knife was Betts before the "retcon" that there was a body swap with Kwannon instead of a body alteration like Claremont originally intended.

    How is she useless and irrelevant? That would be Kwannon who Marvel doesnt seem to have an idea what to do with her and is barely seen. In terms of the two, Betsy is the one getting the panel time and development. She's far from irrelevant in her current state. Making her just a mere telepath makes her irrelevant in terms of all the others in the X-line. Her weapons and melee combat make her standout beyond the likes of Jean, Emma, Cuckoos, etc....

    completely agree.... Jean has TP and strong TK , Emma has TP and Diamond Form...so Betsy can have TP and her psychic weapons. What I love the most of her new/old body is that she kept her hand to hand combat and weapons.

    the body swap happened because she was irrelevant period. writers were desperate to make her cool and edgy. kwannon is a blank slate and under the right writer is perfect to be utilized. give kwannon the psionic weaponry she so rightfully deserves. allow betsy to be the bland telepath with purple hair she started out as. many of you were always crying about how much you missed the old british betsy. why not have her as she originally was? pretty selfish to want her to have traits that belonged to another character. she couldnt even fight originally.

    Why should any psychic weaponary go to Kwannon? Betsy was the one that developed the psychic knife and further weapons. Kwannon should lose anything that can be confusing to newer readers and be mistaken for Psylocke.

    Well, there's absolutely a Kwannon thread you can go and post in since you think Betsy is irrelevant.

    Again, how was she irrelevant? Psylocke has had quite a resurgence in recent years prior to her latest switch. She was unique and did not conflict with the other telepaths on the team (Jean, Rachel, Emma, Cuckoos). Yeah she has a new body but the writing for her is largely the same. It didnt do much but give her a new costume and shield

    Kwannon is a blank slate but they went and made her exactly like Psylocke was. Same imagery, similiar costume, etc...She doesnt even have much of a voice or motivation. She thus far is very generic

    It sounds like you dont even like Betsy so whats the point of even commenting when your negativity isnt even constructive. Calling out fans here isnt the way to go

    Let’s remember before it was retconned away, the original arc there wasn’t a body swap or merging. There was betsy brainwashed and magically changed. The abilities were hers through manipulation. She didn’t have someone else’s traits. She always wanted to be a warrior and fighter.

    Agreed about Psylocke.

    Mostly agree about Kwannon. I think in the long run Kwannon can become a popular and relevant character, but for the time being it seems like the writers are clueless about what to do with her.

    The fact that someone is saying the Betsy is irrelevant because she isn't Asian anymore *rolling eye* times infinity

    I don't have issues with Kwannon Im actually glad that she's back but they are literally giving all of Betsy's imagery and powers to her.

    She is a low level empath that's an assassin ninja.

    They should have taken this opportunity to make her her own individual since yes she is in fact a blank slate.

    But no what did they do. They went straight into extermination and then disassembled and THEN Age of Xman.

    Also she isn't even in her original body which is why im guessing she can take all of Psylocke stuff.

    But thats X-Men editorial having their cake and eating it too.

    Its been almost a damn year and they've literally done nothing to explore how big of a deal this is for Psylocke. And they just debuted Kwannon with ALL of Psylocke's iconic attributes.

    Lazy AF.

    With Kwannon sticking around for a bit it seems that Marvel wants to have its cake and eat it to...though Kwannon could easily just get sent to limbo during Hickman's run and left there...or if they really wanted they could always turn her back to the Asian body in Hickman's run, though I won't be holding my breath, just don't pair her off with Blob after AoX...
