It wasn't a true Asian Betsy anyway given that their bodies were mixed together, it wasn't a straight up Betsy into Kwannon's body and Kwannon into Betsy's, the two bodies were made to be identical so that not even Logan or any of the X-men's telepaths could tell them apart...
interesting viewing.
I just had a thought. Isn't Psylocke's codename Mariposa Mental in Spanish, which means Psychic Butterfly? So if Kwannon took the Psylocke codename, for Spanish readers she would now be the Psychic Butterfly. That sort of makes sense why they took the butterfly effect away from Betsy and gave it to Kwannon then.
That's a good notion but like Havok83 said, Marvel probably didn't care enough to change her identity based on that alone. They had far more cynical reasons to separate teh Psylocke identity entirely from Betsy.
Now if only Marvel had our taste.
Sadly I don't think that Marvel really cares about that, they went overboard with the new body and splitting the two characters up...
Let's all just be thankful that Marvel didn't go one step further and make Psylocke's relationship with Angel a part of Kwannon now as well.
betsy was near forming a butterfly power signature last excalibur, it really isnt that serious and it will return eventually because as you all said it's too iconic, it will return these sort of things ALWAYS come around.
this needs to become the "betsy braddock complaining thread" because that's literaly all that is discussed here even when the situation she's in is, AT WORST, mediocre, not character destroying.
Have some prespective please because not even jean grey stans mope around like this, it's getting increasingly frustrating whenever this thread show's up at the top I don't even bother posting because I KNOW betsy could get a solo, a videogame, a 8 k dollar real life marble statue to be displayed at marvel's HQ and become the face of brittain as the queen herself cosplays the anoucement, and STILL this thread would still just be a cyclical tirade of the butterfly/codename/costume whinefest.

Well there were people for years whining about how she needed her old body back, fans are always going to be whining about this or that...right now it's how she's being portrayed and such...
I think its okay to critique the direction of the character.
I've been vocal about her current writer. But I think going into Swords of X we will see our girl elevated. Hopefully.
