Luciano Vecchio Redesigns Betsy Braddock's Captain Britain

Luciano Vecchio: Currently reading post–Age of Apocalypse ’90s Excalibur and felt like trying the black Captain Britain costume on today’s Betsy Braddock. Super sleek, with some ’90s Psylocke vibes while staying true to the Captain Britain legacy.

Betsy Braddock Fans, Make Your Voices Heard on X-Men Monday

MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is an important moment for Betsy Braddock fans. Not only was Betsy absent from the Age of Revelation, she is also absent from the Shadows of Tomorrow teaser, and with a line-wide relaunch ahead, X-Men Monday is one of the few chances fans have to ask directly whether there are plans for her in the new era. It’s also the right place to ask about the flashback miniseries Psylocke: Ninja and what it means for her future.

2026 also marks 50 years of Betsy Braddock, making this the perfect time to ask whether Marvel has plans to acknowledge her legacy. If you care about Betsy’s place in Shadows of Tomorrow, now is the moment to speak up and submit your questions.

Psylocke: Ninja #1 Exclusive New First Look, Tim Seeley Talks Betsy's “Big Revenge”

ComicBook.com: Marvel is about to dive into an untold chapter of the X-Men story, specifically that of Betsy Braddock with Psylocke: Ninja. Going on sale in January, the five-issue series will take readers into Betsy’s transformation into a deadly assassin as well as her first encounter with Elektra. Speaking with ComicBook, Tim Seeley opened up about the personal nature of Betsy’s story as she deals with the wild body swap situation, teasing that not only will the story get into everything Betsy is dealing with, but feature some really cool genre combinations as well, offering X-Men fans a wild ride that sounds like something totally new.

ComicBook: You have done a lot of really cool things with the X-Men. What makes Psylocke: Ninja exciting for you?

Tim Seeley: Ninja allows to pick up on an approach I honed with Rogue: The Savage Land, and that’s going back to read some of my favorite 80s/90s comic books and figuring out where there are little gaps that could be filled in with all-new story, that still respects the existing continuity. Savage Land had to be, by design, fairly contained, but with Ninja, I was able to pull in not only Uncanny X-Men issues, but also Daredevil, Wolverine and even New Warriors! So, this is a very personal story for Betsy, but it’s also pretty personal for me, as I smash all my back issues together into something new!

With the X-Men having such a long history full of iconic moments and stories, what did you find particularly challenging about digging into this time in Psylocke’s history?

Well, Betsy Braddock becoming ninja Psylocke is some really dense continuity–it’s also got some conflicting ideas that don’t quite line up! So, I had to focus on what I thought made it a great story in the first place, and that’s Betsy essentially being remade into someone else, then becoming comfortable with, and really adapting to who she was the whole time. I think she has to have agency, while also letting her roll with a very crazy sci-fi body-swap brainwash story–and that takes some serious thinking.

What has been your favorite thing about Psylocke: Ninja?

At its heart, it’s a big revenge story, set in Madripoor, which allowed me to combine some of my favorite genres into something new. It’s a Cyberpunk/pinky violence/martial arts spectacular!

Without spoilers, what is something that you think readers will be surprised by with this book — and what is something about it that surprised you?

Well, I was really surprised at how well you can combine Uncanny X-Men, Elektra: Assassin, Daredevil: Fall From Grace, and the Night Thrasher solo series into a coherent narrative! And hopefully, readers will be surprised to see that I pull it off!
