In a recent response on his Substack, Senior Editor Tom Brevoort acknowledged fan support for Betsy Braddock and the enthusiasm surrounding her portrayal in X-Force, but expressed uncertainty about her long-term direction as Captain Britain. He stated:
Tom Brevoort: “The outpouring of support for Betsy Braddock has been nice to see. But that said, it wasn’t enough to keep X-FORCE going at the level that it would have needed to in order to succeed, so while there are plenty of vocal fans of her treatment in that book, there weren’t enough of them to keep it going. In terms of Betsy’s role as Captain Britain, I’m not convinced that that’s the best role for her long-term, but for the moment that’s where she stands.”
“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.
