Betsy Braddock: Psylocke/Captain Britain Appreciation 2019

[Psyknight]

Kwannon is going to be using the name Psylocke it looks like.

Ugh, that’s ridiculous.

Tini Howard and Marcus To on Excalibur!
Team is RICTOR, JUBILEE, GAMBIT, PSYLOCKE - AKA CAPTAIN BRITAIN, and APOCALYPSE.

Betsy confirmed the new Captain Britain!!

Awesome news!

New costume!

Don’t care for the costume, but the news, image and cast are still great!

Full cover!

[Psyknight]

Thank you. It looks even better with the name. I would’ve preferred her old Captain/Lady Britain costume without the wig or the mask, but the more I look at this new one, the more it looks ok. I just wish it it didn’t have that belt and looked less bulky in general.

[CGAR]

I dig it. And I'm ok with this as long as they don't give new Psylocke Betsy's butterfly signature.

Hasn’t she already been using it in Uncanny?

[CGAR]

well I want it to stop. The butterfly was betsy's before the body swap.

Well good news for betsy, not sure about the costume too. Apocalipse really why?? Banshee would be a better cast or even fantomex.

Mixed feelings:

Love that she’s the main character. That she’s in Excalibir. Thats she’s with Rogue, Gambit, Rictor and Jubiee!

Hate the bulky flaglike costume. That Apocalypse is there. That she’s not going to be named Psylocke.

If Kwannon gets the codename it will be cheap from the part of editorial.

[Luckystar.]

LOVE IT! She’s finally leading!
Don’t care about this uniform but whatever the age of Queen Elizabeth is beginning!

[Psyknight]

well I want it to stop. The butterfly was betsy's before the body swap.

Agreed. Same with the freaking codename Psylocke.

I don’t hate the costume and I’m ambivalent towards Apocalypse, but agree with everything else.

[CRaymond]

Kwannon as the new Psylocke is eating cake and and keeping one. I don’t trust it.

I have no idea why Rictor would join the 90s X-Men in Excalibur.

[Psycwave]

I wonder if Betsy is going to give Kwannon her blessing to use the name? And I can’t wait to find out what’s going with Brian. Is he stepping down? There are so many conversations to be had.

[slacker]

This is a double edged sword ... That I like.

On one side, she's a star! Love her as Captain Britain and she looks AMAZING.
On the other side, it's just confusing, and will further convolute her rich lore and make it harder for new fans to get a grasp of it all.

That said, one thing that I'm wondering, how will the rest of the (comic) world acclimate to that change? I can't imagine we'll be free of "Psylocke? Or.... Who are you?" speech bubbles for years to come. Which makes me think, maybe she's not revealing that she's actually Kwannon. Idk.

I'm xcited for this all tho!
