Koblish is the man. Nailed Betsy's hair tone. It's not Kelly Osbourne of today's tone but is far better to pinks and magentas they push.

Impressive art! I'm not a big fan of Betsy's "pink princess" uniform, but hey, at least she's there and she looks good!

I also see Ninja Psylocke on the corner, but since the Krakoan era, I can't help but looking at her as Kwannon instead of Betsy (even though the purple hair indicates it's Betsy mind in Kwannon's body). Kinda like in X-Men Next Dimension (that PS2/Xbox/GC fighting game), where I now consider "Betsy" to be Kwannon pretending to be Betsy whenever I play it, while "Psylocke" (the unlockable character with Revanche's uniform) is now the true Betsy in my head.

(that game is far from being a good fighting game, but I like it nevertheless; it's a shame that Emma Frost wasn't in it, though)

@Fsaker, there’s also Outback Armor Bets and as Lindsay pointed out, she looks like the X-Baby Mojoverse version. (There are several X-Babies in this art in the bottom row.) She’s down in the lower right corner and her hair peeking out from under her hood looks to be an even darker purple than the “pink princess” version.

FSaker said...

@Rahsaan, yes, I saw her, but didn't count her because X-Babies Betsy isn't the real Betsy. It's still nice to see her, anyway.

A fan service to see all three stages of Betsy's evolution with the X-Men. However I would prefer the Outback armor phase had a proper representation and not a mere shout out in the form of her X-Baby form. Among the many costumes tailored for Betsy the Outback armor is the most overlooked given that it boosted Betsy's presence on the team making her memorable and giving the flair of ominous mysticism.

It also baffles me that Marvel talent hasn't connected the dots of Outback armor to Betsy's Captain Britain tenure. They can literally bring it back with no alterations made and have Betsy adventure as such.

X-Baby Bets represents the real Bets if this is her from the time Mojo and Spiral de-aged the team, but if is the duplicate versions he made after the X-Men were aged back to their true ages, then I see what you guys mean. It is probably the latter since Bets wore the “pink princess” uniform (not the armor) at the time of the team’s age regression by Mojo and Spiral. Plus baby Cyke is there in his Blue Team uniform and he was never age regressed by Mojo and Spiral, so likely it is the duplicate baby versions.

@Jaime Braz, you mean, having Betsy wear the Outback armor again as Captain Britain? But in that case, wouldn't Marvel need to change the pink and purple colors of that outfit to blue, white and red? Then again, lindsay says that Betsy will get a pink and purple outfit soon... I'm not sure if a Captain Britain with a pink and purple outfit would make much sense, but maybe it could work, I guess.

Anyway, regardless of colors, if she continues being Captain Britain (something that most people here don't want to happen), maybe adapting the Outback armor as her new uniform could be seen as some sort of consolation prize.
