If you think someone is useless because they wear armor, that argument is silly.
How many super heroes wear armour? A LOT! Batman, Black knight, Everybody who hangs with Batman. X-men uniforms are armored. Gambits costume is armored. Hulk Wears armor, Thor does.
Why do I have to keep repeating this?
Armor doesn't make you useless. Bad writers do. I wore armor in the military, pretty sure I can still kick somebodies ass.
You know what armor does?
It stops Sabretooth from gutting you.
Vargas from KILLING you.
Bishop from breaking your arm.
Roue punching your lights out.
Cortez from knocking you stupid and making your powers go bonkers.
Lady Mandarin wore armor and she could fight.
Why does wearing armor make you a wimp?
Did you hate that her armour actually looked like armour? Possibly because of her English roots?
The Guardians of the Galaxy all wear armor, you know why? It stops bad things from happening to you.
You can wear sexy armor. Look at Angela and Gamora. It seems your issue is that women shouldn't be able protect themselves without being half naked?
Also Herbe Trimpe created Psylocke. Claremont gave her the name.
Also your fighting argument is false. How many X-men male or female actually get into physical fights? If everyone on the team is an amazing fighter isn't that the same as being the same TP/TK?
Wheres the diversity of strength and weaknesses. Not saying she should not go back to being a non combatant. But if the entire team fights like "Ninjas" Then wheres the diversity in skillset?
You seem to want sameness instead of true diversity of talents. Psylocke has Never been the average Telepath. Problem is she came in after Jean, so people wanted something they thought was better than a second rate jean.
Does EVERYBODY in the book need to be a Ninja? You do realize there are people that can beat Ninja right? Boxers, Muy Thai fighters, etc. If all it took for her to be unstoppable was becoming a Ninja, why does she lose so often?
She loses more fights now as a Ninja than when she couldn't. I still love her.
Says you. You cannot say what they will or will not do.
How many people would have ever thought they'd make an alternate Johnny Storm Black?
How many people would have ever thought that the Alternate universe Nick Fury would ever be a black man, and be more popular?
How many people would have thought that Captain America would be replaced by a Blackguy?
But you know what they all have in common?
They didn't kill or steal the person they replaced with racial appropriation.
Why can't Kwannon get that same treatement?
