Anonymous said...: Yeah i have a horrible feeling that is going to happen too. If she can stay relevant in the main title then this is a good move as she would be covered in two books. Otherwise it may marginalize her once again into a B-list character role.; April 1, 2010 at 7:59 PM
centurion said...: I think Psylocke's "darker side" would be explored in greater depth X-Force if she were to join. She could be a regular.; April 1, 2010 at 8:52 PM
J77 said...: I'm not sure if she would like to join the current "kill 'em all!" X-Force. She does kill sometimes but unlike Logan and X-23 she will avoid it if possible. Even in her mini she mostly just beat people up.; April 2, 2010 at 9:32 AM
Anonymous said...: She snapped one guys neck in the mini though. I think she'd be great in X-Force. There's potential for drama with Warren and the whole big sister to X-23 thing could be explored further. I love how all the main writers seem to want her on their teams <3; April 2, 2010 at 1:35 PM
J77 said...: I think it looked more like she just choked him unconscious with rnc hold.; April 2, 2010 at 5:07 PM
Anonymous said...: Yeah i also think she didnt kill anyone in her limited except Matsuo it would kind of have defeated the point of the whole killing thing.; April 2, 2010 at 6:05 PM
Anonymous said...: J77, I'm refering to the telekinesis-enhanced blow she delivers to one of the bodyguard's neck.; April 3, 2010 at 7:38 AM
J77 said...: Ok.
But I still think that it looks more like a really violent KO. (I like to watch mma and k-1 and I have seen some pretty nasty knockouts but none of them lethal.) However I think she might have killed couple of the The Hand ninja's in issue 1. (Assuming they really were The Hand and that those guys are "alive" to begin with).; April 3, 2010 at 9:12 AM
Anonymous said...: There is no dark side in Psylocke! There are pure grace and pure power in Psylocke. It would be a shame if she goes to X-Force and show an absurd side of her. Of course, every fighter has personal conflicts that can sometimes make them do things out of there balance. If she would kill why would she bother control her TK katana or TP knife? If that the case, why wouldn't we see her slice people with the katana?; April 4, 2010 at 10:00 PM
Anonymous said...: It's not in line with Psylocke's character to be a simple killer. Although she can be deadly, she doesn't kill irresponsibly. She seems to be driven by the 'higher meaning.' Although I personally would think it cool if Psylocke's deadly side were more explored, it would have to be clearly justified and in a responsible, disciplined manner - otherwise, that would defeat the whole purpose behind the precisely and 'merciful' use of her psychic knife/katana.

If she were to join X-Force, she would have to add a dimension to it that would force it to evolve. Her 'butterfly' side should show moderation, but her 'sword' side should show her sleek deadliness. I'm all for seeing X-Force gain added dimension with Psylocke, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just something she's completely against joining.

There should be nothing BARBARIC about Psylocke.; April 5, 2010 at 1:33 PM
