Her and Jean did some small things before back in the Outback days, and infrequently since. But many Psychics tend to boost, relay, or combine their powers to assist the other, not in the fastball special sense, but in the I'll add my strength to yours sense.

Yeah I remember that, I loved that interaction! Those panels are some of my favorite Jean/Betsy panels. And yeah agreed, it’s one of the reasons I love psychics when written properly.

Those are great! And welcome to CBR!

Thank you so much!

As of the Wolverine oneshot, Jean is helping Betsy with her changes. I hope that’s referenced in UXM

I almost forgot about that, I hope so too!

Nice work. I usually enhance the contrast, that way when they upload the image isn't too degraded. That said, the uploaded images almost never look exactly like the original. Not sure why.

I will try that out first before posting an image next time, and thank you!

That is absolutely amazing, you really have great skills! Also really love your take on Jean’s and Betsy’s new costumes — especially the blue add ons on Jean’s thighs and the X symbol with the butterfly motif/shape on Betsy’s leg. Nice work!!

I am hoping to see Betsy and Jean team up on a few adventures. I don't really recall much interaction with the two when Psylocke was in her British body.

It looks amazing.

Lovely.

Emma's not an X-man so I dont see why you would have a hard time telling them apart. They wear completely different looking costumes (white vs purple/pink) and Betsy has two distinct power signatures in her psyblades and butterfly

I still dont get it. Betsy's color scheme and psy-signatures are very specific to her. Why would any fan (new or old) think that it would be Emma cosplaying as Psylocke?

All of this, plus Psylocke’s hair texture in her white body tends be curlier or wavier than Emma’s. Costumes and power signatures make it very easy to tell apart similar looking characters, it’s when they’re wearing regular clothes and not using powers that it might get confusing, but even then there are patterns to the way they dress that can help distinguish them. Psylocke’s regular clothes are more colorful, often with lighter/brighter shades of colors she wears in her costumes. Then there’s always good old dialogue to distinguish characters.

This talk of her being blonde reminds me of how I love the way Blondelocke looked in Acts of Vengence. If she is ever blonde again, she should look just like that. Frankly, she looked amazing throughout that storyline in either body or hair color.

There was just a few instances. Primarily during Inferno, where they initially fought, Jean won, then Psylocke used Jean to boost her powers. Then later on Psylocke helped ot save Jean.

im really bummed out she's not getting a mini. But Shatterstar/Domino/Squirrel Girl can all have solo's or minis. What the effever.

[Psycwave]

So what is everyone doing for their Psylocke fix while waiting for her to show up? I decided to finally read the stories of her in full that I missed, beginning with Cullen Bunn's Uncanny X-men. I'm two issues in so far!

I've been rereading Remender's and Spurrier's X-Force runs! I forgot how much I enjoyed Rick's Betsy until after the Otherworld arc when all she did was cry lol. Spurrier's Betsy had tons of personality and I really enjoyed how he used her powers and the bonding with Hope(ew). I'd really love Psylocke to take on one of the students as a protege in the future, preferably Mercury.

Great work as always, Psy.

Patience, my love. The stories are coming and she's still going to get some showing in Uncanny as she's been pegged as one of the big 8. It might not be the Kwannon resolution many are waiting for but ole girl is poised to be at the forefront for the next few months. Not a leading lady but she's bound to have some great stuff in her supporting role.
