Betsy Braddock • Year in Review

Recap 2010 — The Ends and the Means

2010 opened with Betsy Braddock finally confronting Matsu'o Tsurayaba and bringing their long, painful history to a merciful end. Back on Utopia, Psylocke remained one of Cyclops’ most loyal X-Men and was selected for his Alpha Team, entrusted with protecting Cable and Hope Summers when they returned to the present during Second Coming.

The crisis convinced Betsy that mutantkind required stronger protection than the X-Men alone could provide. Believing that extraordinary threats demanded extraordinary measures, she accepted Wolverine’s invitation to join the secret Uncanny X-Force—a decision that placed her on a darker path and set the direction for the most consequential period of her modern history.

it's been sucha good year for psylocke... her presence in uncanny x-force is a warranty for her star not be shooting any time soon. i really loved the spotlight lots of writers had given to her: the x-club,the alpha roster in SC, carey including her within the fighting with proteus and lots of focuses in her own personal stories from the butterfly and blade explanation til her good mini... i'm satisfied and i want more
