That does not make sense when other characters including Betsy have changed costumes many times over.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
This.
Think the bottomline is the use of the costume is more for marketing, branding, familiarity, iconic purposes.
On those calling for a change, I suspect any change would most likely be in line with a costume that has been used before e.g. Remender's X-Force costume.
I love this version of her classic costume:

Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”
For excalibur 19. Is this the first time that they will be meeting? At least since the early 90s?
But is that the definite cover or just an alternate cover, and covers don't always portray what happens on the inside...
I have to say I absolutely love Kwannon, maybe even more than Betsy. She’s fabulous and I can’t wait to see what happens with her
If only she would be given an original codename and costume, then I would be extremely happy. Currently my dear Kwannon is portrayed as a Psylocke rip-off
"COURAGE, DON'T YOU DARE LET ME DOWN"

I can understand the editors not changing her name for IP and other purposes but bloody hell...at least allow the woman to burn those rags with the totality of her psychic powers and some gasoline.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
I agree & I was hesitant to say so. I didn't want to be the person who was so attached to the Asian body because that's where I jumped in, that I couldn't appreciate Betsy for being Betsy...but I find myself way more interested in Kwannon than Betsy. I still enjoy Betsy, but I lost interest in Excalibur but my interest in Hellions have just multiplied.
