And I agree with you completely! Hopefully Remender sees this and makes the official change.

Promise.<br /><br />That being said, how would you feel having to look in the mirror every day and see a face that's not yours, but that of someone else's? "Race" aside. It'd be pretty jarring. And when people mistake you for her. Reminds me of the TV-movie from years ago, Who is Julia? starring Mare Winningham. Weird thing is I was fine with the change when it was her body. The whole Kwannon thing just messed it up for me. I guess, because it was originally her face just altered (Wolvie recognized her). (I know BluBerri hates that original plot!) Not the face of another person with their own separate life and identity. <br /><br />As for multiculturalism, the X-Women are well-represented across every color almost. And I rather have Asians/Asian-Americans be represented accurately by characters, like Jubes, Karma, Hisako, Surge, etc. who were born and raised that way versus Psylocke who was turned into a fetish (Luckily she hasn't been written/drawn that way recently except for some of the obscene ass-in-air shots outside of X-Force).<br /><br />Okay.

She&#...I think Psylocke should stay the way she is. She's unique this way. I know a lot of people are rooting for her to return to her original form ( and not to be insensitive in any way) but do we just HAVE to have one more caucasian x-man/x-woman. Even the character loves her current form. So that being said: she's and omega level, fierce fighter, and has all her team and familial relationships in tact so other than the fact that she was originally caucasian, im just not understanding the big push back to the original body. Hey, lets bring back her off the shoulder balloon sleeves from the old costume too. lol. They symbolize exactly how i feel about another body swap--UNECCESARY!

I wouldn't ...I'll pass on that, Nightlock. I wouldn't want to be merged with someone else's body and face. Most people wouldn't. Too much identity confusion and emotional upheaval. I think she'd be great if she has her old face and keeps all her fighting skills/memories/training. That'd be the perfect version of the warrior that Elizabeth Braddock always wanted to be since X-Men Annual number 11 when they fought Horde. :-)<br /><br />Either way, I guess we're all beating a dead horse with this age-old debate. The writers and Marvel and the artists will all do whatever they feel like doing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142058367371770412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-85950522608129533722012-02-20T23:45:00.754-02:002012-02-20T23:45:00.754-02:00Why don't they just merge the Caucasian and As...Why don't they just merge the Caucasian and Asian body together? There! Now everybody can be happy. I honestly think that would be a wonderful idea if Remender decides to do that! She will be the ultimate Betsy Braddock! From her high-level telepathy to her ninja assassin skills! That would be pretty darn amazing! That's what I'm hoping on.Gray Alexander https://www.blogger.com/profile/11396536148505311024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-16941416164780552702012-02-20T23:17:33.738-02:002012-02-20T23:17:33.738-02:00@Miss Braddock and Brian: I don't think "...@Miss Braddock and Brian: I don't think "relationship" necessarily means being paired or have a fling, I'm pretty sure it means their friendship. Maybe at the end of this "super-arc" Betsy and Wolvie have a "schism" of their own? Maybe this could also mean Psylocke becomes his most trusted confidant to fill the hole Nightcrawler left after he(Kurt) died? (AoA Kurt throws this speculation of mine out the window though, blerg)<br /><br />Or it could very well mean that they'll get it on, I mean, Psylocke seems to be the only female Wolverine has worked with that hasn't fallen for his furry charms... until now. I dunno. xD I certainly hope NOT! I didn't think of this as a possibility until now, THANKS GUYS!! >_<Blu Berrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08424416518474140446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-86042912675934612512012-02-20T19:03:40.464-02:002012-02-20T19:03:40.464-02:00PsySpears,

As our favorite, she should get to be herself. I felt bad for her when the Japanese authorities wanted to arrest her at the airport, because they thought she was the criminal, Kwannon!

I don't think they'd go for anything that obvious or cheap(the writers, I mean). <br /><br />And how is Psylocke the "least assassin-y"? Isn't that the point of the team to begin with? And did she not inherit the martial skills of a master assassin? Not to get all fanboy about it, but I think I disagree on that point. <br /><br />Anyway, as with all the others, I eagerly await the next arc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-70319884097511637822012-02-17T22:48:44.369-02:002012-02-17T22:48:44.369-02:00OMG he's sooo got my attention I'm dying t...OMG he's sooo got my attention I'm dying to read this arc! Yeah what does they will never be the same mean?????<br /><br />I love Psylocke and Wolverine probably my two favourite Characters but I really hope it's not a relationship between them. Wolverine has every other female in Marvel and besides I quite like the relationship with Fantomex it's quite sweet and funny. <br /><br />And I really, really hope they don't fall out with each other and she ends up on only Scott's team!<br /><br />Oh what is it?
