Here's a crazy-ass unmade Claremont nugget I actually had never heard before: Is it true he'd once intended Bloody Bess of the Neo/Crimson Pirates to be the 'original' English Betsy or something? Eeesh.
Apparently Claremont talked about it on his facebook page.
However, on his Facebook page this past week Claremont has revealed an additional layer to his original plot. He advises that if his Nightcrawler series wasn't due for cancellation, he'd have gotten around to revealing that Bloody Bess from the Crimson Pirates was meant to be the Betsy Braddock who "got away" – i.e. who wasn't transformed into an Anglo-Asian physiognomy, perhaps even being the original Elisabeth.
Oh good gravy.
I wonder if the Neo are back lol
oh no no no
Claremont just needs to stop while he's ahead.
Remember he tried turning Sage into a blue eyed blonde warrior with an identity crisis.
He needs to not write his favorite characters anymore.
Rico and Ziggy Karst died to stop that from ever happening
Per the latest House of X.... I wonder if the Betsy we see in Excalibur could possibly be a reset mutant. Since she suddenly no longer has any of her original power signatures.
Alas, more likely that's a byproduct of becoming Captain Britain.
Just thinking aloud.
Agreed. I wonder if Asrar will actually do the braided look on a cover lol.
I would also still really love to see this costume without the cape but with her flying into battle like this it'll be fine.
Also Flylocke (her new name doesn't work as well with the nicknames lol) is back!
I think the flowers look weird red in that cover because of how her hair is colored. It's pretty much pink instead of lavender, it looks the same as her cape for some reason.
I was suspecting the same thing because of some interview, or solicit or something else that mentioned her being a citizen of Krakoa. Like she was “born” on Krakoa or something. That said i’m not reading House of X I just look through the issue reviews sometimes so i don’t really understand the plots there.
This is so yummy!
Besty looks awesome in her new Captain Britain outfit lol
