That's Gorgeous. Serene and Ladylike. But will fry your brain in a heartbeat. Lol.
If you want to see what the Psi-Division would have been like. Check out the original ROM the Spaceknight run. SHIELD Psi-division members were essential to the series. Doctor Strange even had to come in and save, once they got targeted by the Dire Wraiths.
Jesus.
I remember when I first started reading all of the back issues of Betsy in chronological order, I was such an expert on all of the Captain Britain mythos. However, not as much now. I was obsessed-- reading every single appearance of Betsy, but also reading all of Captain Britain to get a deep understanding of the story.
You all know much more than I do. I really hope they bring Betsy back as a headliner of those stories. She has the star power with her connection to the X-Men.

Anybody who knows and appreciates Bill Mantlo is to be trusted lol.
ROM is one of the best of Marvel of that time. Such a great series and mythology and absolute failure of Marvel to not use the Space Knights as little more than fodder and Jobbers to everybody now.
If Mantlo had written Psylocke, she'd be even more awesome.
Mantlo liked to do really cerebral stories. Hell, even before PAD came on board, Mantlo was the one who gave us smart Hulk, and then his turn into the monster that was forced to travel through the Crossroads storyline. Stellar stuff. And that’s not even touching his Micronauts innerspace opera.
Being a teenager back then, that was the holy grail of adolescence! Of course that'd sort of relationship between real people is not right socially and legally, especially in society today.
It's not going to stop me from shipping those two though! After all, they are not real people. *hides Dakimakura body pillows of Psylocke (both Caucasian and Asian)*
Oh, Elisabeth is not legal anymore while Douglas now is. After all, can't have an 'older' male going out with an infant. This re-creation of her physical body reset her birth-date! Now if she was 14 then it would be A-OK by Marvel as there has been a precedent already set for it by Colossus and Kitty.

Actually Taz, I was just being realistic about Betsy's chances of being in the movies if they reboot the series...as for who to play them, again if it the casting isn't for like 5 years that would change any suggestion...
Psylocke should have been no older than 24 during the Mutant Massacre,I remember they had chosen 1956 as Jean's year of birth for her tombstone at the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga,which was the same year for Brian and Betsy.
I bet there is one year difference between Storm,Jean,Emma,Polaris and Psylocke,tops.

Haha, yeah that was definitely risque for that time period.
I agree since they (Brian, Betsy, and Jean) all share the same birth year. Only difference is that the Marvel UK universe characters used to age in real time. New Mutants Annual #2 would've put Betsy at 30 (published in 1986) if she had stayed in the Marvel UK comics. But with everyone being de-aged at some point or another along with time moving slower in the American Marvel Universe, it's hard to pinpoint their exact ages.
So, it looks like many of you are fond of Betsy in the Captain Britain stories, I am too. Do you guys still hold onto her original past regarding her age and power manifestations? Or do you acknowledge CC's retcon of Betsy having S.T.R.I.K.E. hand to hand combat training & able to use psychic blasts? Or Humphries's retcon of Betsy being 16 when her full telepathic abilities manifested, hearing the thoughts of everyone in NYC, making her younger and even more powerful early on?
I wouldn't mind seeing a solid side issue where the two are just talking and discussion of what happened to them forcefully. However, I don't want Kwannon claiming she's rightfully Psylocke. This sounds like a re-hash of the 90s and it takes the potential of Kwannon back to 0.
