X-Solicits for February 2020

“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Wtf is with the psionic horn? I hate when they make Betsy manifest anything other than her sword/shield and rip knife/butterfly
Looks like Fallen Angels is no more
I agree about the horn, but let's be grateful she even managed to keep her TK ability to create objects; I wouldn't put it past Marvel to get completely rid of her psychic powers and use her as an equivalent to 1990s Rogue (flight, super strength, and that's it).
What makes me curious in these solicitations is the New Mutants cover, in fact... does the fact Karma still has a prosthetic leg mean that she hasn't died and been revived/cloned ever since the X-Men moved to Krakoa? If it had happened, I wonder if she would get her missing leg back or somehow would still need the prosthetic one.
(also, was it ever explained why Magma isn't part of this team?)
Oh, and indeed, Fallen Angels isn't in the solicitations... that's odd. The past solicits didn't give any indication that it was ending.
I don't like that either. I'm not a big TK fan. I always think that this power doesn't really belong to her. She just borrowed it from Jean. Maybe it would be nice, if an author came up with an explanation of what happened during that damn 6 months gap.
Hill said on Twitter that he's too busy to write a February issue, so he's just skipping it.
Ororo and Emma come to blows... 👀
Bryan Hill confirmed Fallen Angels will return.
Yeah, Titans got picked up for season 3 & his episodes that he's done this season have been amazing.
I miss the butterfly, but I am just glad Betsy is manifesting some form of her powers with the pink energies. Rogue is back in action it seems (yay!). Happy to see Callisto back in the books again. I am still fairly excited about DOX, but one thing that troubles me is that we are already getting new artists on Excalibur. The one two punch of Tini Howard and Marcus To is what makes the book magical, I am not sure if another artists will be able to create the same feel.
We shall see. Looking forward to seeing Storm and Emma clash! Nostalgic!
Not a fan of the TK either to be honest. My assumption is when they switched powers Jean's TK jumpstarted a secondary mutation in Betsy and triggered Betsy's own latent TK. Jean's TK came back to her over time (as did Betsy's telepathy after she was placed in her original body by the sisterhood). I have to guess a supposed similar situation happened between Betsy and Kwannon since Kwannon didn't possess telepathy until she got half of Betsy's when she was in Betsy's original body.
I did a search on the new artist and was pleased with his artwork. He can draw circles around other famous artists and I hope he can help Marcus To gather energy to deliver greater issues. It's disturbing that I sound like a concerned dad over the daughter's new boyfriend however it is important the art on Excalibur doesn't drop in quality.
If Betsy recreated her original body what holds her back to create psionic replicas of any object?
The process of creating psionic organic molecules is more demanding as seen in Wolverine - Mystery in Madripoor mini series. In that story Betsy gathered Sapphire Styx's captive souls and used their collected spirit energies to increase her power to rebuild her natural body. At least she wasn't a jerk to do so without the permission of the dead peoples souls.
No one can convince me that the Japanese ninja could materialize a psychic knife let alone probe into people's minds with telepathy before Betsy appeared and they swapped bodies and she copied a fraction of Betsy's mutant abilities. Kwannon is a mere empath and nothing more. Let's not blow things out of proportion.
The explanation to why Betsy managed to focus the totality of her psychic power into a psychic knife is explained by the shock at her transformed body and the wrath she felt. All that awakened Betsy's psionic materialization powers because the body swap didn't exist and Betsy's face was cosmetically altered by the Hand.
Speaking of her telekinesis it's no wonder it exists. In her first appearances Betsy could emit powerful mind blasts. Her mind blasts were thrust beams by focusing her telepathy on a target. When Betsy was attacked by Wolverine to test her in issue UXM #214 after her battle with Sabretooth her mind blast almost fried Wolverine and flung him like a booger. Also her mind blast hurled Byron Braddock away in retaliation as he tried to rape Betsy and blew his mind to death as a result. If that isn't TK then what?

Just dug up a couple of things for the Betts / Kwannon discussion, as in 1991's X-men issues 31-32, Matasu'o Tsurayaba does reveal that Kwannon had always been an intuitive empath, at times displaying low-level telepathic abilities...

Wherein, Matasu'o calls Kwannon "Butterfly" and she gives him grife, saying she'd rather be a hawk or a bird of prey.

More references to Kwannon as a butterfly
https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/X-Men-1991/Issue-32?id=28362#10
X-men 1991, issue 32
Wherein Matasu'o DOES reveal that: "Yes. Kwannon was always an intuitive empath, displaying, at times low-level telepathic abilities"
So....just to reinterate, Kwannon DID have some degree of empathic and telepathic ability--albeit low-level.
Empath is a low level classification of telepath. Emphasis on the LOW level.
The telepathic abilities of Betsy are tremendously powerful for a feeble empath to harness. At best the mystery woman called Kwannon would have her brains fried like scrambled eggs if she came to possess the full power of Betsy.
Betsy and Jean were able to swap telepathic abilities because Betsy and Jean are on the same high level of telepathy. Despite Betsy not being recognized as an official Omega level telepath, her telepathy coincides with that of Jean Grey.
Hers surpasses the telepathy of Emma Frost because Emma swapped bodies with Jean and while Jean was able to use her powers in the body of Emma to escape Fitzroy, Emma was trapped comatose in Jean's body.

That proves that Jean and Emma are not equal telepaths but Jean and Betsy are. Otherwise they couldn't have traded halves of their secondary abilities to form two wholes of pure telekinesis and pure telepathy.
Only by taking in Betsy's telepathy Jean was able to manifest a psionic signature of the phoenix the same way Betsy manifests her psionic butterfly signature to communicate on the astral plane. Without Jean being possessed by the phoenix force she isn't able to display fire bird constructs.
The comic references of the 90s can be easily debunked because Fabian Nicieza and Scott Lobdell didn't know anything about the X-Men characters and did guesswork by reading certain comic panels of the past out of context to create chimeric versions of our beloved characters.
@Jaime Braz, didn't Spiral also genetically enhance both Kwannon and Betsy's original bodies and minds? Even though Kwannon was very LOW level, perhaps Spiral's manipulations made her more of an acceptable vessel for Betsy's powers?
https://www.therealgentlemenofleisure.com/2018/07/x-amining-x-men-vol-2-32.html
^Panel #2
I think she said she genetically mixed DNA traits in them. I believe thats why they look so similar at times despite one being Asian and one Caucasian (that and "asian" Betsy hardly ever really looked Asian lol). Kwannon definitely borrowed Betsy's telepathy though because Betsy Telepathy went back to full strength when Kwannon died to the point it was hard for her to screen out people's thoughts (and was able to go to the astral plane again).
Regardless the DNA mixing was retconned when Dr Nemesis analyzed her original body during the Psylocke mini. He confirmed the body was Betsy and the only thing that was fake or not hers naturally war the hair color lol
Marvel's worst gaffe is letting Claremont change the race of Psylocke from white to Asian. Claremont has a record of race swaps and body swaps, but Betsy's was sealed with a sultry tombstone courtesy of Jim Lee the latest bag designer and DC's New 52 Titanic and Wildstorm bankruptcy.
To start a debate on whether Betsy would be sent in editorial limbo after the Siege Perilous is meaningless, because we will never know. Claremont turned his creation into a racist gossip hub so that it would survive the 80s and jump into the 90s fully unrecognizable. The man was ace at riding the zeitgeist of Karate Kid and Oriental flicks. The catch is plots that defy biology and nature are problematic even for comic physics. Stan Lee was a master of speeches surrounding DC heroes shaming them for their ridiculous powers and how Marvel is all about the life outside your window and common logic. I'm sad that was thrown out of the window as well.
Whatever the story could be, had Claremont stayed, it doesn't matter because the damage is done. We're trapped with an iconography that causes drooling spasms to the male population related with the name Psylocke, but missing the essence of Betsy. For this it is shallow and proves that big companies don't care about healthy representation otherwise they would create a Japanese Kwannon with original powers and origins included right on the spot. Marvel started to care a little too late for if not for people to call them out the race mess would go on forever.
I digress my goal is not to show how heartless and culturally insensitive is capitalism. It's that the DNA mixing was undone by Claremont himself in his X-Treme X-Men run and for a second time when Betsy was resurrected by her brother Jamie still trapped in the Asian body. The fallacy of Marvel lives on after the restoration of Betsy and the separation of the two, when Marvel decides to keep Kwannon as an Asian-Psylocke-Barbie available to make money trapped in the shoes of another character free from cultural appropriation which isn't unlike modern slavery and pimping.
Also notice the double standards of cultural appropriation. It is good and politically correct when POCs take from white heroes, but not the opposite. It's bad for Kwannon to get a Japanese code name because English speaking readers won't relate with it, however Psylocke is good for Asian Kwannon despite it being linguistically British.
Kwannon is a master at turning heads on her bottom half yet a slave to Marvel's vice. Bryan Edward Hill planted that subtext in Fallen Angels #2 having Kwannon explain it to Laura. A Laura who regressed to her angry teen rebel roots although not really because Laura was composed right from her creation but needs to become a prop for ushering in Kwannon. Therefore Laura is also a master slave to Marvel.
From the conception of the X-Men, mutant powers were genetically based and were usually activated at puberty or from extreme stress. Mutants were BORN this way. Their powers came from their DNA. They didn’t choose to have their abilities or gain them from an external circumstance (i.e. radioactive spider bite or exposure to gamma radiation). This is why Stan Lee created them as a metaphor for oppressed minorities. People don’t choose their race, gender, or orientation and yet somehow they’re despised or discriminated against because of it.
This foundational X-Men precept is what I used when reacting to Betsy’s and Jean’s power “swap.” I wasn’t a fan of Betsy gaining telekinesis because a mutant can’t take or bestow his or her powers onto another (Rogue is an exception because that IS her mutation). Using intra-comic book logic, for Betsy to have TK, her DNA would have had to change or she manifested an unbeknownst second mutation.
The intended story of post-Siege Perilous Psylocke would have followed this core X-Men precept because originally Betsy’s body was magically and scientifically altered not swapped. When this was reconned and Revanche/Kwannon entered the story, facts had to be adjusted or assumed. In order for the Asian body, which Betsy had been occupying, to manifest its high level of telepathy, the body’s DNA had to have been altered or the body had a latent mutation that was already present and consequently activated when Betsy’s mind was placed in the body.
I know there have been instances where this core precept hasn’t always been followed. I chalk that up to sloppy writing, ignorance, poor research and/or all of the above (a.k.a. Fabian Nicieza). In “comic book reality,” the Asian body has already demonstrated high levels of telepathy and manifestations of the psychic butterfly and knife. Now that Kwannon has regained control of said body, she has access to its powers and telepathic manifestations.
Ultimately, all of us Betsy fans who are upset at the result of the Betsy/Kwannon divorce, can only go so far using intra-comic book logic and references. Comic book “facts” are only facts until a new writer or editorial team changes them. Psylocke was a pre-cog until she became a telepath. She was a telepath until she became a telekinetic. She was a telekinetic until she became telekinetic telepath. Her Asian appearance was just an alteration of her original body until it became a body swap. Comic book “facts” don’t work like real facts. Kwannon died in Betsy’s original body until she was found to be trapped and suppressed in her own body.
We should shake our heads and be rightfully upset at the changes that happened to our beloved Elizabeth, but we can’t rely on comic book “facts” to negate the change. To the really “salty” and rude commentors out there (not the logical and well-spoken contributors like Jaime Braz): News Flash...Betsy, Kwannon, Magneto, Jean Grey, etc. are fictional characters, they don’t have real emotions, commit real acts, or are beholden to real logic. Believing and trying to prove that Kwannon is a “slut” and a “bad mother” is as ridiculous as believing Magneto was actually in Auschwitz and suffered from his time there.
Comic book “reality” and “facts” are malleable. If they weren’t, then Elizabeth Braddock would be 63 years old because she was one of the few comic book characters given a birthdate - April 23, 1956.
Nicely put, Ebonthorne.
Comic reality is too malleable and shouldn't be. Play dough level gibberish when it should be play by continuity rules. Betsy is a victim of bad writing and shitty retcons. I'm surprised she is still called Elizabeth Braddock. Should we change that too?
I agree on one thing Chris Claremont going cold turkey on body swap and fix the Asian makeover on Betsy's face on his second 90s tenure. He didn't do it and gave in to his second head. Isn't that pretty much what every male writer and editors do when they encounter Ninjalocke?
Thank heavens Betsy made it alive from the Asian body because she was crammed in with ninja chan like two boobs in a single cup. Now that is an awkward and lame retcon. Ain't it hentai Bryan? ''hint'' ''hint''
Oh dear, the body swap wars will never be over, will they?
Personally, I loved Betsy in both bodies, so I guess I can appreciate her storylines from both eras. The body swap is indeed something messed up to do to a person, but it happened, and fortunately she didn't crumble, instead taking the best she could from the situation.
As I said before, I was skeptical at first of Marvel undoing the body swap - not because of a preference for either body, but due to fear it could make Betsy's background even more messed up or that it could affect her popularity in a negative way. Fortunately, none of these fears came true, she's in a perfect spot now as the new Captain Britain, and even before that she got some nice moments in the Disassembled arc and the Age of X-Man event. I have fond memories of her time in the Asian body, I think it allowed her to grow as a character, but it's great that she can be in her own flesh again.
Now, regarding the debacle on who should have the Psylocke identity, I recently revisited Laczky's art of Betsy and Kwannon side by side (http://psylocke-butterfly.blogspot.com/2019/05/psylocke-kwannon-by-luis-laczky.html), and you know, while I still dislike Kwannon, I gotta admit if Betsy ever loses the Captain Britain mantle, it could be a good idea to have both women forming some sort of action duo (kinda like the Stepford Cuckoos but still keeping their individuality).
---
This art also makes me think that, while Kwannon wearing the old blue Hand bathing suit makes sense for nostalgia sake, the Disassembled outfit was actually much better for her - take off the hood and mask, and it would be a perfect uniform for her to wear in the current era.
(In fact, if Laczky ever read this comment, would you be kind enough to make an alternate version of this art with Kwannon not wearing the hood and mask, pretty please with cherry on top? That would look even more amazing than this current art already does!)
The body swap wars will end when the OG Psylocke fans retire the Asian one from the mantle of Psylocke and when the opposing side will replace Betsy with Kwannon. In other words it is an endless cycle of rage and salty quip exchanges.
From a humanitarian point of view the defilement of Betsy's body was an extremely offensive and wicked act on behalf of the creators and Marvel as an entertainment company.
We talk about fictional characters who nonetheless stir emotions to us readers therefore are equally susceptible to indignation to which we show empathy via self-projection.
If you reflect deeply on the issue, Betsy's body was tortured and abused countless times.
First it was by Doctor Synne's mind control to be wielded as a weapon against her brothers.
Second by Vixen and Slaymaster leading to Betsy's blindness and the birth of a deep rooted phobia for Slaymaster that took her decades to overcome.
Third Betsy was kidnapped by Mojo and Spiral and was conditioned to become the slave Psylocke a female version of Mojo that lured children to become gladiators in a brutal culling.
Fourth Betsy exited the Siege Perilous amnesiac and lost and the Hand allied with Mandarin took advantage of her by force and changed her life and appearance.
Fifth in the 90s Nicieza sealed Betsy's fate to be permanently trapped in a strange body by inventing Kwannon and make Betsy's biological body become infected with the Legacy Virus and perish. (If Betsy was restored to her biological body at that time Marvel would have the opportunity to gain their first X-Woman with visual impairment who relied on her telepathy and precognition to experience the world like Claremont initially wanted. A blind psychic and precognitive swordmistress is diversity too.)
Sixth Betsy was eviscerated by another of her nemeses Sabretooth and almost died if not for the crimson dawn that opened the door to countless demonic entities like Tar and Kuragari to pester Betsy.
Seventh Vargas obliterated Betsy granting her a quick death and absolution from a living hell.
Eighth Betsy was resurrected by her crazy brother in the Asian body just to add the needed desperation pinch to remind her of her previous nightmares.
Ninth Spiral and Mojo came back for Betsy time and again to ruin her peace of mind, as Cassandra Nova did, to tempt Betsy reclaim her bodily integrity in the guise of psychological traps.
Tenth the Sisterhood performed a ritual to resurrect Betsy's biological body with a villainous streak added. The act was an insult to the already gutted wound that is the body swap. It pitted Betsy against the nemesis that Kwannon was crystallized into inside of Betsy's brain from repressed anger.
Eleventh Wolverine's annual ritual to maim Matsuo piece by piece for the assassination of Mariko forced Betsy to confront her inner demons of murderous addiction and feral instincts. The rabid Wolverine mirrored the state Betsy was changed into by the body swap and constant abuse against her person. The mercy killing Betsy delivered on Matsuo was the most emotionally charged yet it didn't solve anything other than ending a villain's torture and continuing that of Betsy.
For the above reasons the body swap will continue to be a heated debate for allowing a fictional hero to suffer through all that and for the immorality contained in the aforementioned storylines. The only lesson the reader will learn by reading all of Betsy's misfortunes is never to be born a mutant, keep away from interdimensional spineless aliens, magic and Asian mafias.
@Jaime Braz
I have to respectfully disagree that “The only lesson the reader will learn by reading all of Betsy's misfortunes is never to be born a mutant, keep away from interdimensional spineless aliens, magic and Asian mafias.”
I’m a long-time reader of comics (especially those featuring Betsy) and I think that this long list of life-altering events conveys Elizabeth’s inner strength and perseverance. The fact that she has not only survived all these tragedies but continued to fight for what she believes is “right” reinforces her status as a hero.
Granted, her list of misfortunes and tragedies is long, and when compared to other Marvel characters may be unfairly so, but any well-developed character needs an interesting backstory. You and I may dislike particular elements or certain story-arcs within Betsy’s history, but to remove them would make her a boring “2 dimensional” character. She would never have become the (now former) Psylocke or (current) Captain Britain that we have grown to love.
The greatest tragedy of Elizabeth Braddock isn’t in her fictional backstory, it’s lazy writing and sloppy editing that happens here in the real world.
Ebonthorne you are right. The lazy writing and sloppy editing are Betsy's biggest enemies. Betsy suffered way too long from story-telling and artistic incompetence. The worst was while she inhabited the Asian body which was drawn always White with blue eyes and wavy hair and the same new body resembled nothing of a Japanese woman.
Chris Claremont created her but never knew exactly what to do with Betsy. He had a good opportunity to guide Betsy toward her knightly roots during the Outback era when she donned the armor. Had she developed then her TK weaponry the whole race swap that was needed to make her offensively formidable would be redundant and Kwannon would be introduced organically in the future as a new character and not be deemed as a plot device, retcon tool, a Psylocke/Elektra fusion or worse an usurper.
Alan Davis and Rick Remender tapped into Betsy's psyche and potential to produce phenomenal results.
This is the reason I don't mind Davis blinding Betsy. Because depriving Betsy of her sight doesn't go anywhere near to depriving her of her body thus her entire existence and identity.
Remender took Betsy and Warren from spoiled rich people in an open relationship to a status of unconditional love and 3D characterization. Last time we had this depiction of Betsy was in her romantic relationship with Thomas Lennox and her friendship with Alison Double and Storm/Rogue-Carol/Dazzler/Jubilee one.
If not for these hardships Betsy would be less tragic I agree. However Betsy has an attractive quality to her personality and that is her feistiness. Her first battle against the Sabretooth was the Claremont highlight that disappeared like a shooting star in his writing to be replaced with a simple minded killer. The frail lady that has the nerve to take on a feral beast of unimaginable strength to protect innocents is Betsy's charm.
Anyone read Fallen Angels 2? Now kwannon and Dazzler are friends lol
Dazzler tries to be nice to Kwannon, gets rejected. That was it.
I've read it, it's very bad, both art and writing.
They've given purple eyes to Kwannon and they've made her say that for Betsy the butterfly means beauty, while for her it is something else and that's why she has kept it, to give it another meaning. But that's absolutely false and incorrect, for Betsy the butterfly has never meant merely beauty, it has always been a more complex and in a sense ambiguous symbol, as explained several times ("The blade and the butterfly").
A terrible service to the Psylocke's legacy.
I hate how Fallen Angels is just dumping on Betsy. What a way to polarize both characters in the fandom. I would much rather the two women bonded and felt comfort in each other considering they both survived a very unique convoluted situation. Instead Betsy is just horrible beyond redemption who destroyed some criminals life lmao no anger towards Nyorin or Matsuo or the Hand just Betsy. This writer is a full on troll.
I called it first dudes and dudettes! Ninjalocke trying to steal all of Betsy's friends and lovers. She ain't satisfied with the butterfly and Psylocke name she wants the whole cucumber.
Anyways Bryan Shill does his job excellent crapping all over Betsy and making the Asian chick unbearable.
It's weird because I actually DM'd the "Fallen Angel" writer on twitter and he actually messaged me back (which I will give him credit for). He said that fans shouldn't be worried if they think the comics are about Betsy vs Kwannon and it's more about Kwannon fighting this god. So far I am not seeing those comments coming to fruition. Hopefully we will soon.
I like the art style of Fallen Angels, especially the load of closeups. That said #2 suffered from a lack of action and the continuation of an issue that plagued Psylocke since the body switch-- not looking the least bit Asian in most of the book.
I still gotta say all the hate for Kwannon is really self-destructive. Psylocke has all the marketing and iconography. If only one of them continues it means the end for Betsy.
@Xiaodave spare us your concerns about Betsy. You enjoy what Marvel did to Psylocke Betsy because you want the ripoff Asian to win. I don't fear for Betsy she is a tough nut to crack from the hate of trolls like you.
@Xiaodave I will give you that Ninjalocke is not depicted as Japanese as she should be. It's kinda racist when artists don't favor the Asian women and their face structure and choose the easy way out plastering on generic white faces.
You will wait forever to see the end of Betsy my goodfella. Don't rush to conclusions cause you'll trip and fall. We don't want you to get hurt.
Oh Tobias, get over yourself.
Kiki-- if it was up to Betsy and her powers Id never bet against her. My fear is Marvel making the same business decision they have done with Brian all these years. 12 issues followed by four years off.
It was weird to see Psylocke getting the Betsy treatment given that the artist did a relatively good job drawing her in the first issue. Though in artists defense they aren't all going to be perfect and every character looks different artist to artist.
