yeah I dont mind betsy remaining in the x part because captain brittain mythos just work much better when attached to the xmen, who bring a lot of spice and dynamism to its character roster AND can handle the extremely high fantasy/ high sci fi mixture that is captain brittain mythos, these past decades where it was mi 13 and whatever where very boring shield esque, but whenver the xmen come into the scene it returns to its over the top roots.
I’m really excited to see Silva draw Betsy, and it gives me hope that means that Excalibur issue is going to be one of the ‘big’ moments of the event. I also have to wonder if Jamie will be involved because he really needs pulling back into line.

Me too! I like her and Brian’s status quo as married with a daughter, because it’s not too often that that’s allowed to happen in superhero comics, but Meggan definitely shouldn’t be sidelined because of it.
I think she might be appearing in issue 13 now we know Silva is the artist, because he posted that teaser of two figures kissing, one tall with a sword. So now I’m thinking that was her and Brian.
I’m not the biggest fan of the cast, so I agree it needs a shakeup. I wish Nightcrawler was involved.
I also hope we get a bit of a breather issue. I’m enjoying Excalibur, but I wish we got a bit more character focus than just plot. Being Captain Britain is a huge deal for Betsy, it’s something she has wanted for a long time, and also harks back to a more traumatic time with Slaymaster, and hopefully that gets explored.

I've always hated Betsy having TK. It makes her martial arts skills pointless. And it has made her powers so confusing that even writers avoid the subject. Another one of CC's late-in-the-game lamebrain ideas. I wish he had fixed it when he brought her back. But instead, we got dino-Rachel!
I don't want either of them to have it, but I don't really know how to reconcile it. Resurrection? I don't want Betsy or Kwannon to have to go through another body change.

She is a mutant; her powers just keep her in tune with magic. And she is Betsy’s sister-in-law, and family are allowed to visit Krakoa
Betsy’s powers have changed so much over the years, it would be nice to have them fixed. From pre-cog to telepath to telekinetic. I think I’d prefer if her psionic weapons were the most notable powers.
To be fair, you can say the same about TP. She should be able to psy-blast most enemies from distance but prefers a more physical approach. Same with TK. I never liked her having it myself, but mostly because we already have too many telepaths with telekinesis (and now Kwannon has it too for some reason?). I'd much rather they brought back her precognition powers.
