I’m hoping after this story that’s currently going on, that Betsy has the same confidence that she used to have. She’s been wishy washy for most of Excalibur in IMO. The issues with Cullen where Rictor had to be the one warning her and she’s like just go to bed. Uh.. the Disassembled era was a mess, but Betsy did get some decent spotlight and wasn’t cardboard. I know why Rachel was there when she “returned”, but having Storm there would have been a nice touch. One of the things lacking in Excalibur is the interaction of people that have been friends for awhile. Rogue’s concern and drive about finding Betsy was believable, but it was weird at the same time. Jubilee could have played a better part in the arc. Betsy was the one that pulled her out of the trap in the mall. Jubilee was there for her Hand transformation and adventures after. She was even there when Betsy remade a new body for herself in Hunt for Wolverine. As much as Jubilee has been annoying me in Excalibur, I think she may have been better as the concerned party instead of Rogue.
This arc needs to clear up and put to rest the feelings of guilt and whatever with Kwannon. Define her powers as CB now that the amulet is gone. Does she even have any anymore besides her mutant abilities? Like sit down and start defining where these characters are going and each stepping up to the plate. Also it would be nice to see Gambit stop being useless. I miss the Gambit that was smooth..
