Rahsaan said...: Both are cute, but the Hand suit version does not look East Asian at all.; July 20, 2024 at 2:15 PM
Kiki M. Ishola said...: Brooks knows. Butterfly is Betsy, Knife is Revanche.; July 20, 2024 at 2:39 PM
Nichelle said...: It Betsy in the 2nd one too; July 20, 2024 at 3:04 PM
Rahsaan said...: It would appear that Brooks is going with the original one body lore where her face was changed but still recognizable as Elizabeth per Logan in Acts of Vengeance…

Wolvie/Patch: What!? The face… PSYLOCKE?!?

Lady Mandarin: True, dog! And let my name be your last thought as my psychic knife casts you headlong into the abyss of oblivion!; July 20, 2024 at 4:20 PM
X-Man said...: I was thinking same thing @Rahsaan.; July 20, 2024 at 6:25 PM
Kiki M. Ishola said...: Yeah figures got the purple locks too. Had they left it a cosmetic change it'd been easier to reverse it without the body swapping nonsense.; July 21, 2024 at 9:12 PM
Kiki M. Ishola said...: Good eye for detail Rahsaan as it was supposed to be by Chris. I let the blue eyes slide it's a tiny continuity hiccup in the Mojoverse; July 21, 2024 at 9:16 PM
X-Man said...: Betsy technically originated both lol.

Ironically it seems like Revanche and Betsy swapped as Revanche came on the scene using a psychic katana (on Betsy) and Betsy used the psi blade.

Now Betsy uses the sword more ,(though a tk one and not telepathic) and Kwannon uses the blade (and sometimes sword still).

Makes me dizzy sometimes lol.; July 21, 2024 at 9:59 PM
Rahsaan said...: @Kiki and X,

Thanks! While the CC storyline was so over the top in many ways, it definitely posed way less problems for Bets than the ramifications of the retcon, which persist to now. For example, many if us questioning whether or not she will have her own power signature and power manifestations in the Thorne book.; July 22, 2024 at 5:12 PM
Rahsaan said...: @X,

It appears that sometimes Elizabeth’s sword is telepathic. It was used almost exclusively as telepathic throughout Disassembled along with her psi-dagger. During Tini’s run, we never really got clarity on how it was being used, telepathically or telekinetically. It seemed to mostly be manifested as a visual accessory throughout Excalibur, Knights of Ten, and Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain.; July 22, 2024 at 5:16 PM
Daud Rotama said...: First pic, just look at that original Betsy. That should always be the shade of purple for her hair colour. I think artists had not gotten the "is it purple or is it fuchsia?" problem until very recently and I don't understand why or how. Is it that difficult to distinguish the two colors?; July 23, 2024 at 7:05 AM
X-Man said...: @Rahsaan you are correct i forgot about that.

When Kwannon/Revanche manifested the psychic Katana it seemed like psychic energy in the same was the Psi-Knife is.

Betsy's sword appears solid so I was thinking it was TK (and I think Betsy first started making a sword when she lost her telepathy and had Jean's Telekinesis, so I think I associated the sword with being telekinetic since then).; July 23, 2024 at 7:26 AM
X-Man said...: @Daud I noticed that too. I definitely don't get why her hair looks so strange in that 2nd picture there lol.

I'm guessing maybe the thing with Betsy is that when Kwannon/Revanche came on the scene in Betsy's body, I think she had a lighter purple shade than Betsy did as Psylocke in Kwannon's body.

They definitely were both shades of purple though lol. Not sure what some of these artist are thinking lol.; July 23, 2024 at 7:28 AM
Daud Rotama said...: Not gonna lie, I'm starting to believe in Kiki's theory that they're trying to replace all of Betsy's physical attributes and abilities onto Kannon while essentially creating a new character with Betsy. I know, madness, but when artists keep depicting Kannon with the huge ass butterfly light on her face...it just makes me nauseous. I feel like some of them, plus the writers confusingly, have never read beyond what's most known about the Nicieza retcon involving Kannon. If they do, they wouldn't have Kannon sporting the butterfly, or even the psychic knife, tbh. Those are Betsy's!; July 23, 2024 at 9:58 AM
Jaime Braz said...: @To All, tackling the issue once and for all pertaining to Betsy's constant hair miscoloration, fans of Betsy is imperative to show this 80s Betsy in pink commission by Mark Brooks as reference for Marvel colorists. The suggestion is rhetorical for Marvel is the usual perpetrator behind the crime of aforementioned miscoloration.

Last but not least, the butterfly on 80s Betsy's finger is telling of to whom it belongs to. Original owners are keepers.; July 23, 2024 at 7:18 PM
