    Yeah they shouldnt revert her back to Psylocke if the Captain Britain mantle doesn't work out.

    I think it's going well for 'Kwannon".

    Just some thoughts:

    I just hope they keep her Betsy's warrior mentality and fighting skills.

    She didnt want an Asian ninja body.

    She just wanted a body that would help her achieve things she strived for.

    She created her own perfect body that she alwasy wanted and seen herself as internally. (Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor)

    People think because she's not in the Asian body she should lose the fighting skills.

    I disagree because you don't just lose all those years of training just because you create a new body.

    Yeah, I get she may have to get use to her new body but I don't think she should ever be viewed as someone who hasn't the skill to fight.

    If Kitty, Logan, Natasha, Murdock, etc can all be martial artist with great hand2hand skills than Betsy can as well.

    I'm hoping Tini starts giving the rest of the Excalibur team spotlight and work on the character beats and dialogue so people continue with the book.

    I like that Betsy is a lead in a title.

    I really like the potential of the psychic horn. I don't think musical instruments is a direction they've gone in before with these psychic constructs
    And it could be like a bugle call to arms, a military signal.

    Betsy's Wild Hunt vs Apoc's Four Horsemen. I'm all in for that.
    She may just be using it to control the Wardogs, but yeah, I’m up for The Wild Hunt.

    Agreed 100%. The split was a boon to both characters, and I’ve never been more excited for Betsy (despite being a little underwhelmed by Excalibur thus far).

    I don't think she's lost the martial arts prowess but I doubt we'll see a lot of drawn out h2h fights anymore. The role of CB plus the sword/shield give her more of a brawler vibe. I anticipate a lot of charging, hacking and slashing.

    yeah her current role doesnt seem suited for the martial art style she used before and IMO it would seem odd with this bulky costume. Her Disassembled one was made more for that

    Did Betsy just view the butterfly as beauty?

    I feel like Mike Carey delved into that but I can't find the panels.

    It represents the subtlety and fine control of her psionic powers. lol Betsy doesn't care about beauty.

    Yeah I get that he's trying to elevate 'Kwannon'. And he's actually doing a decent job at that. But these little off the cuff comments he has Kwannon making about Betsy just kind of rubs me the wrong way.

    Especially when the writer of Excalibur is literally avoiding any and all introspection. And we've been waiting since August 2018.

    But whatever. Guess I'll just go with the flow.

    Perhaps more of an MMORPG tank rather than DPS.

    I'm actually interested to see what the Amulet of Right does for her.

    Is it just going to give her the exact powers that Brian had with it.

    Or will it elevate her current powers and add some new stuff.

    Or elevate her TK/TP plus add the powers that Brian had.

    What did the sword give Faiza?

    She has worn the suit before. So I would assume it would be just like that. Flight and super strength and endurance. Plus her psychic abilities. Honestly though, who knows in this new status quo lol....

    Yeah I remember her having it during Remender's run as well. But I don't remember it changing or doing much to her power wise.

    That’s not what happened in that scene. Ali is a people pleaser.
