Betsy Braddock: Psylocke Appreciation 2018

[Havok83]

Then have a team of:

Emma
Cuckoos
Dazzler
Psylocke
Magik


just to screw with people's heads lol

i found that confusing during the Utopia era especially with Dagger thrown in the mix. All those women looked alike (especially drawn by Land). Betsy's purple hair and thongkini saved her

Attachment 72052 Finch variant - geez Betts got alot of hair on this one

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 recolored three versions. Hope you like them!

Im new here, but for some reason the images were compressed once I uploaded them? Is it normal for images to lose quality once posted here? — anyway, If you wish to have the original ones I can dm them to you wherever you prefer.

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 honestly think that's the only reason Bendis made the Cuckoos have different haircuts. HE requested all the blondes and someone complained about not being able to tell them apart.

I know some people want Psylocke to be blonde, but the purple is unique.

but then that only made this confusing as one looked just like Jean and the other looked like Eva Bell.

If Betsy were blonde again it could then be hard at times for some to tell her apart from Emma, aside from their hairstyle of course...

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

All the this..

[LoganAlpha30X33]

I didn't say that you or I would have a hard time telling them apart...if they're not in the same panels together perhaps some newer fans could just think that Emma or Betsy changed clothes or got her hair cut or something...

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?

[LoganAlpha30X33]

I didn't mean cosplaying, it'd be much the same as why they don't have like three redheads on the same team, like Rachel, Jean, and Siryn all at the same time...or why Emma, Dazzler, and blonde Betsy wouldn't be on the same team at the same time...

but again Emma isnt an X-man, so why would that matter? Betsy isnt appearing in the same lineup as her anywhere. Not that it matters bc we have had mulitple blondes in a book before. As mentioned earlier, that was the case in Bendis' UXM run as well as Fraction's book. We had two pairs of blondes in classic New Mutants (Magma/Magik & Doug/Sam) and they even wore the same exact costume.
