“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.

Interesting twist. I guess it's not a big surprise that the future X-Men were hiding something, but what are their intentions? And are they evil at all? I mean, the cover for the last issue of Battle of the Atom shows Xorn fighting alongside the present X-Men.
Anyway, did Psylocke get to do anything in this issue? I know she appeared in it (she was in one of the preview pages), but from these spoilers it seems that most of the present X-Men didn't do much in it. Since Betsy is a telepath, she could have participated of the psychic battle somehow...
She had cameos in like three panels or so. Future Xavier was blocking Rachel from the psychic battle, I guess the sames went for Psylocke.
There's a character of the future X-Men that show at the last page that looks like Betsy, but instead of psychic blades, she has psychic claws (Wolverine-like claws).
I guess that character is Jubilee, not Psylocke. Her skin is too pale, her uniform looks like Jubilee's (sans trenchcoat), she has pink glasses, and the Wolverine-like claws could be an homage to Logan as he was a father figure to her (and the claws may be generated by a device, not by mutant powers).
Plus, she looks like a young woman, and Psylocke would most likely be older than Kate Pryde and Xorn Jean.
*by "Psylocke would most likely be older than Kate Pryde and Xorn Jean", I mean: "FUTURE Psylocke would most likely be older than Kate Pryde and Xorn Jean"...
"Xorna" /headinhands
Why, Marvel? Why?
Jean.Grey.Can.Suck.My.Sock. I hate the way marvel make Jean out to be this powerful goddess,when in fact shes a inept,bland,passive aggressive bitch. WHY MARVEL WHY
I'm not surprised psylocke is getting nothing to do. Par for the course. The same characters as usual are getting the spotlight.
Not related to the BOTA crossover, but last week, a new demo of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was shown in a videogame event. Although Psylocke wasn't shown in action, her portrait was present in the character selection screen, next to Professor X: http://media.emmafrostfiles.com/images/emma-frost-lego-marvel-super-heroes.jpg
It seems, however, that she won't be playable in Story Mode, just in the Free-to-play Mode. That's okay, as apparently only 20 of the 150+ characters in the game will be playable in Story Mode: the movie Avengers (Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Hulk), the Fantastic Four (Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and Thing), Spider-Man, Storm, Wolverine, the X-Men O5 sans Warren (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman and Beast - Archangel is in the game, but it seems he'll be playable only in Free-to-play mode) and the S.H.I.E.L.D. commanders (Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Agent Coulson).
Nevertheless, I hope she still appears in Story Mode somehow (maybe she could be in charge of telepathic communication with the heroes during some missions, or at least appearing in some cutscenes?). But even if she doesn't, at least she's in the game. And it looks AWESOME; check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCNW2-N0uFA
