I am beyond excited for the issues where they'll both be together...please, please be well written!
I hope Tini does both characters justice.
Black eyes for her use of telepathy would be fierce. I always thought maybe she could have red tp effects and psy knife.
A picture would last longer darling...
I like her current dark purple psychic knife with lightning like effect and black accents, it's very much what the 90's psylocke was and im fine with that, telekinesis can be on a lower level and focused on physical empowerement.
If I was to give kwannon some new tricks, the crimson mark and Hand Chi techniques empowered by her original empathic abilities.
I kind of love the idea of a cherry blossom type look. That always looks amazing and in movies like Hero.
By the way, this looks really amazing! Love Peach’s artwork and I can’t wait to pick it up!

I love the way Wells is handling her character -- how matter-of-fact and straight to business she is. Yet she's not afraid of showing concern. So she's not cold or distant. Some writers like to link matter-of-factness with coldness, especially with women.
I just wish he's show some more downtime with the characters so we can see what her interests are outside of training.
I really wanted to dislike her but she has quickly become one of my favorite all thanks to Hellions.
Her and Greycrow reach out to each other when they’re “falling”. I’m down for this pairing as they both want to be someone better.
bc of the terrible way Marvel handled her return, stripping Betsy of everything that made her Psylocke and giving it to Kwannon. I dont want to go into all that again but Kwannon just seemed redundant at first and Rosenberg and later the FA writer didnt do a good job of characterizing her IMO. It took a while but several issues in and Zeb is doing wonders with her. She actually feels like a character and not a plot device to move the story along. The artist is helping with that too as she looks uniquely Kwannon despite the Betsy imagery which has inspired her look. Its hard to explain. I know part of it is bc I loved Psylocke and for all intents of purposes thats who Kwannon is now. Ive internally stopped fighting it and just accepted that. On the flipside, Betsy is unfortunately now boring to me
I forgot where I posted it but I was confused too, is that Bets in the form of Kwannon, Kwannon the real deal, or a combination of both and I'm leaning towards it possibly being the latter.
I will say this, after awhile of reading Hellions I kinda stop doing that thing in my head of attaching her to Bets. When I read Psylocke now, I'm reading her as Kwannon whereas before she didn't feel like a real character imo. Even in Fallen Angels, I did not follow that series closely but the issue or two I did read, I was not a fan of how he was using her. Flashforward to Hellions, and Kwannon has honest to goodness become her own character and with her own personality. It's a testament to Wells, but as good as Hellion is and it is, I'm fascinated in how Psylocke will be used moving forward. Will she take on Bets former role among the X-men at large or will she remain a character who functions on the peripheral side of things and titles?
You just know some writer is going to come along and maybe re-tread stories that were originally with Bets but replace her with Kwannon, moreover where does it leave Bets place among the X-men proper?
