Betsy Braddock: Psylocke Appreciation 2018

[Rnap22]

I would be happy with even just a hood on her body suit. I'd love a Buncanny outfit with a mix of her Australian outfit.

Not super convinced at a character whose main distinguishing feature is purple hair wearing a hood. It worked for Rogue though, I guess.

It made sense if/when she was trying to protect her identity, but I take your point. Her purple hair is one of her defining characteristics.

Took this from another thread. Don't know why Betsy is on page 2 you guys ?!

Alrighty activity time:

1) Which Current X-Writer would you want to see write Psylocke?

2) Which current Marvel writer would you like to see write Psylocke?

3) Which current Non-Marvel writer would you like to see Psylocke?

4) Which Current X-Artist would you want to see draw Psylocke?

5) Which current Marvel artist would you like to see draw Psylocke?

6) Which current Non-Marvel artist would you like to see draw Psylocke?

Mine would be:

1. Cullen Bunn (I can't think of any that are real Betsy fans. So because he wanted to do an otherworld arc I chose him.)
2. Gerry Duggan? (what are Marvels top books now)
3. Tom King/Scott Snyder (I hear they'd wonders for the Bat-verse)
4. Pere Perez
5. Russell Dauterman
6. Clay Mann ( He's exclusive to DC or he just didn't match w the X-Office; who knows)

1. Kelly Thompson
2. Bryan E. Hill or Becky Cloonan
3. James Tynion IV
4. Mahmud Asrar
5. Aaron Kuder and Pepe Larraz
6. Leslie Hung

The armor was magnificent, and that portrait is wonderful some of my moments of Betsy are the older stories where she was a tactical telepath. If MiM is any indication and it seems it is hopefully it's a continuation of her recent applications of telepathy.


I also wouldn't be opposed to Bets returning to some form of an exquisitely draping cape:




Bets at her most dramatic!!!! And I love it!!!

The armour is by far my favorite look for her. Even though I do love he rmore modern costumes also. What I'd hope for is she does a Janet Van dyne and alrenate her costumes a bit. But make sure they are sexy and protective. If she's going to be making silly frontal assaults, she'll need it. LOL. She keeps forgetting she's a Butterfly, not a Bull.

For the MCU, not the comics

[Psy]

I think it would depend on the role. If she was say Xfactor investigations. I could totally see it. She could be very cloaked and when the action hits. She flings the coat off her back dramatically and kicks some arse. This would fit in an Excalibur setting or London based team as well. IMHO... =)

Is that supposed to be a joke or is that the actual dialogue?

I guess it’s a reference to the complaints about the focus on Kitty.

1) I know he’s no longer a constant X-writer anymore, I know he’s writing a story for the upcoming X-mad book but been reading a lot of early Claremont’s British/Outback Betsy. I’d kinda be interested to see how nowadays Claremont would write British Betsy but his writing has diminished significantly so he might do more damage than good...

2) Idk really, I’ve only come back to reading comics late last year after being away from the X-verse for like, 5 years but maybe Daniel Rosenberg? Think he may have already written her in Astonishing but when it comes to dialogue, (his storytelling ability imo isn’t as strong as his ability to write dialogue) I think if he really applied himself, he could have a pretty quirky & bouncy take on British Betsy.

3) Not really familiar with non-Marvel writers so Imma skip this one lol

4) Mahmud Asrar, his design for Psylocke’s new costume just made me crave more Betsy related artwork from him.

5) Bar the X-books, I don’t really venture into other Marvel books so Imma bow out and call “skip” again lmao

6) Phil Jimenez!! Pretty sure he has an exclusive contract w/DC. Jean’s my main gal and he’s one of my all-time fave Jean artists from his tenure on NXM so I’d LOVE to see his take on Psylocke!

Uncanny cover. I can’t say I’m crazy about the covers so far.
