Betsy Braddock: The Focused Totality of Appreciation 2024

[Psycwave]

Back to X-force is great but I'm iffy on Thorne. I wasn't a huge fan of his Vixen mini but his Green Lantern stuff was decent. He brings interesting ideas for sure. I'm interested to see what To brings because the vibe of X-Force is completely different than Excalibur.

Also curious about the codename. I'm here for it if she keeps CB and and we can get some folks to really make it work. If she does drop it then I hope she's back to Psylocke or just going by Betsy. Not really in the mood for another identity shift and we've got two of so many other heroes so it shouldn't be a big deal. The costume is a fine team look but i wish they had gone back to the black/silver color scheme of X-Force. That would've ate.

Still, it's very exciting and amazing to see her. Can't wait to see her reunited with Sage, I feel like her and Forge have only interacted a handful of times, we'll get a new spin on Retsy, and it looks like she'll be living dangerously again. Ready to break out my purple wig and support.

Any thoughts on Rachel being called Rachel Summers rather than Rachel Grey in the article, and having her hound marks back?

[MentalManipulator]

I'm drooling. If we get to see her do some stealthy spy work, y'all will have to pick me up off the floor.

I'll be there just right next to you.

can't wait to see the costume from the front. It looks a little bit like the versions of the blue and gold training uniform she wore when she came back to life.

How is his character work? In line with original characterisation?

Hasnt she been a Summers for years now?

I feel like she was on Grey with Chris Claremont was writing her.

Honestly she's called either Grey or Summers all the time depending on the writer, marketing, etc... It hasn't been consistent for a while. I think the last time they really stuck to Grey was on the Bendis era.

Yeah I'm getting somewhat of a training uniform vibe as well.

I love that Betsy is basically the main physical combat fighter of the team. Sage is a great fighter as well of course but more known for her strategic, fast-processing mind. Betsy is the one you want on your side if a brawl breaks out.

"We don't have a "clear view" of Betsy's new outfit in X-Force, but I made the edit based on what we can see and what I believe to be... so here it is, X-Force Betsy Braddock!"



From Mr. Thorne.

You can expect Betsy to be a serious, seasoned warrior with a sober mind and incisive attitude. You can expect her relationship with Rachel to have nuance, depth and complexity.

To the best of my ability.

She's been in one battle zone or another nearly her entire adult life and she is still here to talk about it. But somehow she didn't turn into Wolverine or Omega Red. I think that's interesting, personally.

How is his character work? In line with original characterisation?

I think for the most part. If anything I think the biggest issue, for me, was it could be overwritten but I find that to be a thing with a lot of those who follow the screenwriter to comic book writer pipeline. He's written a few things since then so it could've improved.

i hope he gets the "bri ish" side down well.

She should bring a bag of Greggs sausage rolls for the team.

[Devaishwarya]

I do love the black and red colour combination. And it seems individualised for each character.

[Uncanny X-Man]

Mr. Thorne is saying so many interesting things about Betsy over on the X-Force thread... I think I'm going to get myself acquainted with some of his past works while I anxiously wait for July to be here because things sound pretty promising.

Yeah, that seems in line with what I’ve noticed. Makes sense.

Indeed and I'm digging the looks. I'm hoping Mr. To will post some design images for the team. I'm watching his IG.

I still need someone to pinch me over her being in X-Force and it releasing early in the line. I was pretty convinced it would be X-Factor but holy moly.
