Betsy Braddock: Psylocke Appreciation 2018

[ariwl1]

Seconding the enjoyment of Betsy/Jean tag team. I do wish we could have seen one of the sessions were Jean was helping Bets mentally readjust to being back in her natural body, but this is cool too.

I'm a little disappointed in how the opening scene was written. It makes it seem like Betsy and Jean are barely powerful enough to fool 4 minds. There should have been some additional dialogue like "Their minds were being shielded by an extremely powerful telepath. It took both of us to maintain that illusion without being undetected."

But aren't they in Central Park? If so they had to cloud the four horsemen and the minds of every rando within eye-shot so they wouldn't spoil the trick.

It's not quite clear since the art doesn't depict any bystanders. I just feel like if this were Prof. X or Emma Frost, the writers wouldn't have thrown in the "Hng" grunts or "I-I'm losing it!" Betsy and Jean are powerful enough to not be so easily exhausted.

Depends on the minds they are affecting. Apocalypse states in a later page why this is happening.
I think we should learn by now NOT to take the preview pages as the story.
We should be beyond that now.

Can anyone make me an avatar of Betsy from the Jimmy Cheung variant for Uncanny #1?

It still feels the artists are using the recent art to draw Betsy instead of going back to like Alan Davis days where her hair is fluffy and her skin tone was light.

I would kill to get a Davis like Psylocke.

Love Psylocke and Jean working together in this way.

This is what Telepathic teamwork is supposed to be about. Preview of Uncanny X-men #3

So much for people saying the two were redundant in the same book. I love that the writers are writing them working well together

Her butterfly looked super cute this issue. It had antennae :3

I can’t wait to pick up this issue.

Even if Betsy is written a little week in Uncanny I love how she's one of the tactical members of them team led by Jean with Storm, Beast and Bishop.

And Jean and Psylocke working together is always a blast. I hope they keep doing it.

Betsy and Jean working together is love.

Funny that no-one ever suggests it’s redundant to have two fighters on the same team.

There are lots of things that makes no sense.

1) Somehow being a Ninja will make you "Immune" to being hurt and armor means you're weak. /shrug
2) More than one Telepath is redundant because they are doing the same thing, when we know that's not true.
3) Support characters are weak, and everyone needs to be an amazing Hand to Hand combatant and Front Line fighter.
4) Making everyone a Frontliner is redundant.
5) Using your brain to solve the problem is a bad thing.
6) Multiple Wolverines are good, more than one Telepath is bad.
7) Everyone should be stabby shooty.

Does anyone else want to see Sapphire Styx come back, and maybe become attached to Selene, or the Externals? It’d be nice to expand Betsy’s rogues gallery. Maybe make her clash with Sat-Yr-9, the Crazy Gang, Slaymaster, and other Captain Britain enemies. Maybe make Lady Mastermind someone she clashes with frequently, due to her connection to the Hellfire Club.
