“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.

Loving these petals! 🌺💜
Starts out fast with the action, I'm down with that lol.
Those unnecessary petals. Just make them little butterflies.
I read the first issue and liked it a lot. All the heroes in the comic felt restored to who they are.
I must be blind. They don't look like petals to me lol, but they prob are cause I do kinda recall Marcus To saying he was kinda trying to do petals for her, but it might be too much.
I also thought I saw a cover yesterday that had Forge/Storm/Mystique on it for X-Force but don't quote me, I was scrolling fast on FB it could have been a fanmade cover or something.
I was just thinking it'd be nice seeing Storm and Betsy again if it was true.
@Daud, I actually don't mind the petals or whatever way this is that her telekinesis is manifesting. Sometimes all the butterfly iconography is a bit much for me. Especially when they make them look like actual real insects versus butterfly-like. (Like her psi-self/astral form looks like a butterfly but also otherworldly and not like an actual true insect.) I like her butterfly astral form and her butterfly power signature over face and head, but I don't feel like all her power signature manifestations have to be butterfly-like. For instance, when she manifested that giant psychic butterfly that actually looked like a real butterfly on that skyscraper, I hated that. I also didn't really like the butterfly telekinesis shields and bolts she showed recently in that online comic. These petals or dots or whatever are subtle and not over the top. I think they feel complementary versus hitting us over the head with her liking butterflies. I dig.
I still don't see petals per se, but I agree @Rahsaan. Its definitely a unique way to show us she's using her tk from others using tk to levitate.
(which i guess again confirms she is using just her mutant abilities for flight and not CB).
I did like the butterflies she created in the online comic though lol.
I interpreted that time as her having a complete field around her and whenever something hit it, it gave the butterfly visual, but I guess it could also have been she has great reflexes and read their minds and created a shield in butterfly shape as well.
Either way, I found it a nice change from just using a shield all the time lol.
Looking forward to this week's issue.
