Pretty good recap. Very concise.

Congratulations for the amazing retrospective!

Wow, Betsy was quite busy in 2013! Although in Ultimate X-Men, Betsy wasn't really Betsy (but the impostor was still cool, so that's okay). I wonder if Brian Wood always intended for his Ultimate Psylocke to be an impostor or if she was planned to be the real Betsy back to life and he had to back down after that bunch of whiners started to whine that Ultimate Betsy was dead (even though she had transferred her mind to another body before), that dead means dead in the Ultiverse, yadda yadda yadda...
