    yes she was. betsy has admitted numerous times that kwannon was the cause for her intrest in asian themes as well as in cyclops. it got to the point that betsy blammed kwannons influence for everything.

    Kwannon is pretty much a blank slate. It's such a waste Marvel gave her Psylocke's butterfly signature and psychic weaponry. Maybe because she's currently inhabiting Jamie's created-Psylocke body.
    tacky betsy did not have any psionic weaponary until AFTER she resided in kwannons more appealing body. kwannons deadly persona,warrior hardened body encouraged betsy to creatively come up with psionic weaponry for her assasinations.

    i really don't get why you psylocke fans are so desperate to have her keep the psychic weaponry. psylocke is no real warrior. her skills were stolen from someone else. kwannon even had to retrain betsys fragile and decript british body into being battle hardened enough to fight. i don't hate betsy i just think she needs to go back to her original abilities and rightful give kwannon hers.

    RESOURCEFUL Betsy gained psychic/psionic weaponry after being being trained and honed by the Hand and the Mandarin. NONE of those came from Kwannon. Kwannon didn't have enough psi skill to even begin to think of something like that. Sounds like she relied too much on that body-ody-ody and got no where. Whereas Betsy already had the skill and power to do it.

    Kwannon's original abilities are literally ninja skills and low level empathy. That's it. No knives. No tk or tp weapons. Just those. And really one is learned through rigorous training that anyone could potentially achieve, and the other was something she was born with but BARELY used. Show me a panel or scene where prior to her falling off that cliff and being fused with Betsy that she used any psi weapons and I'll gladly agree with your position. But it doesn't exist, does it?

    Kwannon is a blank slate that was created by a writer/editor who didn't bother to read/understand the source material. She has nearly no background to draw from other than flashbacks, and the small moments when she was in the Caucasian body. I get the whole white women in an Asian body and a LOT of the casual yellow face that writers threw in over the years, but psi weapons has no basis given what's been printed.

    so wait...only Asians can be ninjas? only Asians can have fighting skills? Wheres your logic coming from? This a comic book character that has trained and had fighting skill for 15 yrs. They're not gonna just lose it because they're in a new body. Black Widow, Elektra, etc are all great hand to hand fighters. Kwannon doesn't own those skills. Kwannon didn't develop them and hone them.

    Also you all totally leave out the part where Kwannon is a retcon and came later.

    Well technically Kwannon did develop and hone her hand to hand skills, just mostly off panel and in our imaginations. I agree with everything else.

    Fascinating debate you guys!

Her not being in Dark Phoenix was probably a blessing, but I would’ve loved to have seen her in a Deadpool movie or something. Oh well, we’ll eventually get another cinematic Psylocke.

    Kwannon is a blank slate. They can literally do anything with her. But they are relying on everything Psylocke is known for and if you can't see that than your ignoring years of Psylocke developments and traits.

    This is the biggest mistake X-ediotiral is doing by not properly differentiating them better.
    By all story accounts Kwannon is the stuff that Psylocke is known for primarily Asian Ninja. Betsy on the other hand is a British Model, Telepath,Telekinetic, Secret Agent, Exile member, Sister of Captain Britain and long time member of the X-men with at least 2 unique costumes. The problem is not with Kwannon her identity is a former Hand Ninja. The problem is with Besty who has million other things she can because she carries all of the character history AND fans still want her to be the Ninja and wear similar costumes to what she wore when she was in Asian.

    Kwannon is not one who needs to change, Kwannon is the bikini wearing Asian martial arts Ninja that is her identity. And yeah that is Pyslocke identity because Psylocke was wearing Kwannon body. Betsy is one that has to change I am not saying that she loses her ability to fight or PsyKnives but Betsy needs to go a clear different route and she has the character history to do so. Basically more along of this

    and less of this

    and any chance I get show this artwork I will.Something like this could work

    well of course not only Asians can be ninja but considering in the context of psylockeher mind was transplanted into the body of a Japanese ninja and ninjas originated out of Japan then yes in this case those attributes are associated with that of being Asian or more specifically Japanese. Furthermore, Betsy before walking through the siege perilous was a white woman who had minimal combat skills which is why she wore armor. Betsy fought inside the body of a character who possessed the skills you know want her to possess in her original body. being able to move and bend at the level kwannon was able to do is something that would require training her body even if she retained the knowledge. and no one said Kwannon own the skills that other characters possess but the ones that you want betsy to possess those are skills owned by kwannon and unique to her heritage and life experience. I like how uncanny handled it. they gave her skills and fighting style with weapons traditional to her cultural upbringing. it makes her distinct and unique from kwannon while removing the issue those had with cultural appropriation.

    Even after the body changing, Betsy has already trained and honed her skills with many skillful fighters such as Wolverine, AOA Sabertooth and AU Ogun (this one was in pocket dimension worth years of training).
    She has earned her fighting abilities. Also, except for the knife the psychic weaponry came years after the body alteration.

    Ninja skills - at first yes, she got it from Kwannon's body. But she's earned her skills from years of training.
    Psychic weaponry - this is pure Betsy's skill dan training. Kwannon had no power nor skill to do it in her original body.
    Butterfly Aura: We all know this is Betsy's signature since the beginning. Seeing Kwannon has the butterfly aura is cringeworthy.

    Psylocke should always be the Psylocke we've known for all these years no matter what skin/body she's in.
    Kwannon.. should be something else.

    Other than The Hand trained Asian Ninja ??

    It is almost as if you guys are saying if Psylocke is not a ninja/action based character she is nothing. She bring nothing else to table other Ninja/Fighter. I hope people see the irony in that defining trait of Psylocke is from being Asian and Kwannon fighting abilities. I get thought process of what people are saying but that exactly why Besty has to change she has so many interesting about the character AND she is a fighter now. If Psylocke is not Psylocke with about fighting abilities the character is hugely flawed.

    Psylocke has done the absolute bare minimum of h2h combat since her return back to her OG body and I don't think anyone in this thread has felt any less of her. As a matter of fact, most of the folks who come in here swearing that many Psylocke fans are holding onto the combat aspect of her character don't even frequent the thread much. If anything everyone has just been asking for ACTUAL development to get into her headspace post change. They want to see her with her brother in London in a new version of Excalibur. They want her to actually interact with Kwannon to make peace.

    People are open and excited for the changes. If she fights, cool. If she doesn't, she's still a cool and complex badass psychic with plenty of story to be told. Y'all truly don't have to bring up Kwannon because as a few have said, she's no longer apart of Betsy and she should move away from it. Just like Kwannon needs to move away from Betsy and develop an actual personality/storyline/reason for existing.

    Yep - exactly - loving the current Elizabeth - I would like to see the Precog flashes return too

    Still no mention of her in upcoming Hickman? Excalibur has been coming up alot so I am betting a relaunch so would love to see her pop up there to interact with Brian & Jamie.
