Welcome back, Tabby.

So what, they couldn't use X-23 for branding and have her use a different name in the book? Also, this is kind of funny considering he's saying it right as Psylocke is taking the Captain Britain name, while Kwannon is taking over HER name, and M is taking the Penance name...

The Psylocke thing is branding; your average individual knows Psylocke as the Asian ninja psychic, not the British aristocrat. It sidesteps ignorant indignantcy over "white washing" the character/mantle... though, yes actively calling herself X-23 when she never had previously was a little off. (I could plausibly buy the rational, but it really needed an event to prompt it.)

That doesn't explain Betsy as Captain Britain (whom I'm sure most people don't picture a lavender-haired psychic as part of the brand) or M as Penance. M you can handwave by not being a major character, but there's still a bit of grasping at straws going on.

It is always weird when people complain about Wolverine being everywhere. I like JDW explanation.

It is the truth, there is no conspiracy or bias againts other characters. He is everywhere because he sells, if he didn't he wouldn't be there. Other characters sadly don't bring as much money and at the end of the day Marvel is a business.
He is a lot of fun to read most of the time so it is good that he is everywhere

It's not exactly weird however the people complaining about Wolverine being everywhere do have a valid point.
Although, JDW explanation is also correct and is the truth to simply put.

99.9% of humanoids don't care about Captain Britain or Penance while if you draw big booty Psylocke on Twitter/IG you get hella engagements and if you draw Laura on Twitter you'll get like half the engagements but the hashtag is always her gamertag and not Wolverine.

Most people don't picture Captain Britain at all, and would likely go "who?" when asked about them; because most people aren't comic fans.

Comic fans already understand who these characters are outside of the monikers, and aren't the ones they're thinking about, it's the potential/derivative fans who know nothing.

[Desmark]

Perhaps she should have been renamed as X23- verine.

[Mutant X]

I don't think that's the case. They just showed JDW's coloring of Shalvey's art from Return of Wolverine to explain where the idea of the new costume came from

Interview was so boring I slept before read this part.
Thank you.

Bobby likes what he's seeing.

This is such a homoerotic panel they had to know what they were doing

Even though ironically she had Psylocke before she as an Asian ninja psychic...

Fighting sabertooth in her nightie long before she was ever Purple Elektra.

Yeah, but the *iconic* Psylocke that everyone recognizes is the telepathic ninja, not the Purple Socialite.

"Jean's his truest love, but whoever he's currently bang - I mean, currently dating is his true love too and he's totally into them. Sort of. Ish."

I just can't, lol.

[Jackraow21]

Who cares who Wolverine’s “true love” is? The guy is over 150 years old, and his mind has been screwed to hell. I’m sure he’s had many of them. Depending on what he can remember, and what mood he’s in, I’m sure his mostest favoritest love of all might vary.

As I type the above, full disclosure, I never liked Scott and Jean together. Nothing to do with Logan. Just thought they were boring. I’m a Scemma fan.

As for Logan and Jean, I don’t care if they’re together or just friends.
