Love seeing the Butterfly. Though I would have thought a simple psychic illusion could have done the trick as well without having to actually boost Rachel's abilities lol.

This reminds of other moments when Betsy played the illusion trick, which I loved to see (she is excellent at it!!)! As this team didn't include a telepath I agree the boost would not have been necessary too. I wonder if there is something with Rachel's powers after her effort with Dead X-Men.
I also wonder why didn't Forge just built something to gather all the energy necessary to defeat Nuklo so that Surge hadn't died.

Also curious why Betsy couldn't boost Surges powers maybe she would have survived

I know she did it with Iceman that one time @Randybear but I also think they had no clue what to do with her or her powers at that time lol.

Overall I think its been kinda a Psi thing. Like when Jean boosted Betsy in Dissasembled or when Betsy did with Jean in inferno.

I'm guess it also depends how the boost is working. Like is she adding/combining her psi strength & energy to Rachel to make Rachel stronger?

Or is it a boost like if someone took a pre-workout or got an expresso coffee? Lol.

If its the 2nd one, then i guess maybe you are correct in thinking it could help Surge, but not really sure.

This butterfly effect is cute and all, but you got me psyched for a really elaborate one, like the one that covers her whole face like a mask. Hopefully, that’s yet to come.

I love when it fully manifests like this:

Rahsaan right? They talked this game as if she was getting a really unique version but I'm just grateful it's there.

Xman ok you're right that ability probably only applies to other psychics. I was for real thinking of the Iceman moment as well lol stupid Matt Fraction 😆
