randybear said...: Yeah Betsy is lucky if she remains relevant as Captain Britain. A lot of readers hate her and no other writer bothers to have her ever cameo in their books, and Kwannon gets tons of variant covers.

Also it would be convoluted to introduce Betsy in shows or movies at this point without establishing the entire CB mythos first lol so Kwannon will always be an easier choice before Betsy plus the iconography and name its a lose for Betsy.; June 2, 2021 at 2:26 PM

At this point, I doubt they'll ever return the Psylocke identity to Betsy, with Kwannon having good chances of keeping the title (plus uniform, powers and all) forever from now on. They could take the Captain Britain position from her, but... then what? Many people know her only as Psylocke, not as Betsy Braddock. It would be necessary to give her a new identity (even if this new identity is her real name) and establish to the general audience who she is and, more than that, WHY they should care about her.

As Captain Britain, maybe she could be pushed outside of the X-Men bubble, as an Avenger, Defender or something - but it would take considerable effort to establish her in these teams, and it seems very unlikely that Marvel would ever do that...; June 2, 2021 at 6:17 PM

Tobias Chatti said...: Kwannon is entitled to have the Psylocke name because Betsy saved her life and she hates her for that. Makes zero sense.; June 8, 2021 at 8:20 AM
Tobias Chatti said...: Without Betsy after siege perilous Kwannon would stay a silent vegetable. Thanks to Betsy she is a whiny bitch.; June 8, 2021 at 8:23 AM
