The only relevant retroactive piece of continuity i recall is a flashback to her mission to infiltrate the Hellfire Club. Infiltrate, not fight. And Sage believed Betsy was out of her depth. But you are right, of course, retcons could be used to change that if needed. I, personally, would prefer they didn't!
So glad to see that this thread survived the revamp, With RW now concluded which threads / characters would you guys like to see picked up on and explored. I am curious to find out if Lieger was successful in finding his old team mates and seeing more of Motormouth, Cap Britian, Dai Thomas etc
This is the Betsy that I fell in love with. I loved the way she used her telepathy to manipulate a fight, rather than outright badassery. It was such an interesting (and obvious) use of her abilities in a world where telepaths are more likely "brain-blasting" or telekinetically smashing opponents. It's something she's rarely shown doing today, which is odd. You'd think a telepathic ninja spy would be more interested in stealth than smashing. Then again, I'm not a ninja, so what do I know?
This is still my favorite CB costume. I can't even explain why I like it so much, but I far prefer it to anything that he's worn since. I also miss the mace.
More Death's Head please. and Hauer: Agent of SHIELD.
I surrender to the Contest
Death's Head vs Deathlok
You would buy this book if you wish to stay Healthy, yes?
Nice one, cheers buddy! If you want us to use the Butterfly riding version just let me know. It won't be until next year mind. I have a story in mind to take the team to Otherworld and have a big crowd scene of many characters.
Aaw thanks for the concern mate...I was away when all this happened...I tried to log on while I was on hols and couldn't....I started to freak out!
Cheers Loki for getting us back on track.
And as for IzzY...
Yay!!!! Welcome back man...always promoting...good lad!!!
I really loved the whole series....it brought me fully back into the comics fold...and lets be honest - what are we now? Five years since it finished? And we're still talking about it and it's finding new fans all the time. Marvel...please lets see it again!
Aaaw thanks Cold Water, we love a bit of new blood on here...we're passionate about these characters and we have a reputation to uphold as the nicest thread on any forum!
Thats all pure IzzY....he really sold Betsy as a real person. He made her what I'd always envisioned in my head.
Thank you Cold Water. I can't take any credit for the way it looks...IzzY just took my script and ran with it...every page I received was better than the last! Even the writing I can't say was all mine...he just kept coming to me with new ways of working an angle. I think the initial script was only about 19 pages!
Woah thats brilliant! I'll be taking a look over that one! Thank you for sharing Tazirai!
He did knock out of the park didn't he?
Love, love, LOVE this image. One of my faves....we will get the Doc into AUK eventually!
Cheers Panic me old mate!
Too right. I would like to see some more stories about her time with STRIKE.
Loved the armour she made for her time in the X-Men too...and it actually had a real world application!
I think I'd like to see CB and Motormouth back in regular action and lots more Death's Head. A return of the Knights of Pendragon would get my vote....maybe with a more fluid cast than the second volume...something more akin to the original.
I've warmed to it more and more over the years. I first encountered Brian in that uniform but it was the Davis Default that has always been my favourite, but I'm starting to gain a greater appreciation for the original.
Yeah they tried to retcon her into being an undercover spy type bad ass, there's even a panel out there with he in combat fatigues, and doing high kicks and crap. Problem with that is her ENTIRE characterization in Captain Britain and Uncanny X-men said she was pretty shitty at fighting, and none too tough. Where Brian got the muscle, she got the spirit and willpower. She's resilient and determined. That's why she got the armour later on, to keep pace with the other X-men, who not only had more experience individually, but were overall tougher. When I read those issues, if they were a deadly Psi-team, they could have taken Slaymaster with no loses. But they got splatted pretty easily. So yeah, definitely more on the Remote Viewing, research side of things.
When I tell people I'm ex-military, they're like "ohhhhh, so bad ass." I'm like I worked in a control tower....
Excatly...They try to retcon it, but luckily there's only ever been that one Hellfire club encounter they tried to add to her history. But most people ignore it. Same here.
Lol I DEFINITELY miss it. Wich is why she still uses it in my fan fictions. lol!
Same here. It fit with her and Brian being from England and all that Otherworld/Avalon stuff.
I can deal with Nu-locke. But I wish the brother and sister shared a title. Bring back Kwannon, put the bodies back, and put the siblings back together. Have the UK opened wider. Bring in other teams, and groups. Angel could be liek their Batgirl, Mystic/Info broker type. The Braddocks should be back together.

As a keen fan of CB I've been following your thread - well, the previous one - for a year or so. Now with the revamp I thought I might as well join up. Keep up with all the news.
