It's really cool how this uniform works both as a Captain Britain uniform AND as a X-Men member uniform, capturing Betsy's affiliation to both. And the psychic butterfly signature is the icing on the cake.
I love this look. We have seen several X-Men switch outfits for various missions, like Ororo,Jean, Lorna, and Scott. It would be nice if this could be added to Elizabeth’s uniform wardrobe along with the To armor (both versions) that we have come to know and love.
I think the thing preventing her from having multiple uniforms like other X-Men is that hers was generated by the Amulet of Right (and currently is generated by whatever explanation there is), while the other X-Men use Krakoan technology that allows them to change from regular clothes to any uniform they want.
It's a pity; I guess most people would like her armor better if she saved it for the tougher battles instead of using it all the time.
Speaking of art involving Betsy, has anyone here seen this LEGO version of hers?

She looks so cute!! I wonder how it would look like with the helmet on (then again, since it's LEGO, probably she wouldn't be able to have her long hair coming out of the helmet - she would have no hair at all underneath the helmet, so maybe it's better to have her without the helmet).
"I'm sad that Peggy Carter (Captain Carter) got to wear the Union Jack before Betsy or Brian in a mainstream Marvel Project, even if it is a "What If"."
Agreed. I guess it's not so bad because she's not really a Captain Britain (more like a "Captain America for another country"); still, I hope this Captain Carter won't become a regular character in Marvel. I still want to see Betsy in animated series and video games, be it as Captain Britain or as British Psylocke - but with Kwannon being Psylocke in comics, the latter option seems very unlikely, so I hope at least the former will be used.
As for the Inferno storyline, I wonder if Hickman will use Betsy in it. He has an excellent reason to do it, since it seems to deal with Moira's decision not to let mutants with precognition live in Krakoa - and, well, Betsy's very first power was precognition (while Kwannon never had it, as far as I remember). I just want him to write her for once (her small appearances in his X of Swords issues don't count).
“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.

Make it legit wear. Betsy needs it ASAP.
Yeah, it's gorgeous, isn't it?
One thing I wonder... would it look even better or a little worse with the CB helmet on?
Name it beanie helmet bonnet and looks chic on this.

Yeah I hate the technicality that Betsy can't be seen in other looks like the rest of the XMen :(
I absolutely dig this art! Her face is gorgeous!

Love the color scheme and the look. Mahmud Asrar can't draw faces or bodies, but he can hookup a costume!
I'm sad that Peggy Carter (Captain Carter) got to wear the Union Jack before Betsy or Brian in a mainstream Marvel Project, even if it is a "What If".
As much as I like Kwannon, I am also sad that she is basically taking Betsy's spot in the upcoming Inferno storyline.
