When Betsy was first appearing in the Captain Britian comics, she was a blonde who dyed her hair purple.
Did they ever retcon that her hair was purple as part of her mutation, or is it still supposed to be naturally blonde? If it is purple now, was it explained how it changed?

Excalibur launched X of Swords, a huge crossover that lead to Mars being made into Planet Arrako, and that is having profound affects on the MU. This summer we have Judgment war involving the mutants, Eternals, and Avengers. Pretty sure an issue is the mutant takeover of Mars, plus the resurrections.
So it launched the crossover, doesn't make it important if every book took part and Betsy didn't play much of a role at all in the crossover, Excalibur didn't drive the crossover and Betsy's basically in a satellite book that gets thrown a bone every now and again, and she deserves better...
So pretty! (even though I don't want Betsy to date Rachel).
Amazing cover. I like the contrast between Betsy's nothing background and Rachel's.
I think this is the one take I just don't see. Betsy being CB hasn't removed her from anything, imo. If anything it's pushed CB lore more into the x-mythos so she actually has something to do on the island. We've seen the council call on her to handle stuff with Saturnyne and Otherworld like when she came back from being shattered and most recently at the lighthouse. Execution could be debated she's become a staple character in the new era for that alone. If Krakoa ever gets adapted you don't think any of that would come up in some way? Apocalypse and Arakko and its' connection to Otherworld and all that? When that happens Betsy is right in the middle of it. If CB goes to the MCU you don't think her taking the mantle and the drama/politics of a mutant CB would come into play?
Would it be cool to see her be more active as an ambassador or something? Talk strategy with the Captain Commander or gab it up with the Regent of Sol? Sure. But we have years of storytelling ahead of us and there's still time.

Hickman showed no interest in Excalibur and its cast throughout his run, so why would a film adaptation of Krakoa even consider exploring anything from Howard's work?
As to what the Captain Britain mantle has removed Betsy from, do we need to state the obvious again? Just a bunch of uninspiring, racist, devoid of substance stories written some time between 1984 and 2018 by a few journeymen authours. It took decades, but enlightenment shone through under the mighty pen of Tini Howard!
This suit looks different on every cover I’ve seen it lmao. I think this one is my fave so far? It doesn’t have the cape and the blue pants help. I always thought Captain Betsy’s suit would’ve looked better had it been primarily blue.
I’m ready to get a proper look at it. Quinn designed this one right? I hope we get a design sheet or something.
While I do not support the Rachel/Betsy agenda this cover eats
