Psylocke playable in Lego Marvel Superheroes

Newsarama: "The biggest takeaway from the session was a sense of "more". Developer TT Games says they had "more time on this one to do more fun stuff than ever before", thanks to the well developed engine and the team starting early on LEGO Marvel. The numbers behind that general statement are staggering. There are over 150 playable characters from the Marvel Universe shipping with the game (they were originally budgeted at 110 total), and another ten or so DLC characters will be available at first through pre-order exclusives, then opened up to general players after a couple of months." 

"That means you'll see Iron Man, Wolverine, and Spider-Man, but you'll also play as Rocket Raccoon, Captain Britain, Psylocke, Archangel, Howard the Duck, Silver Samurai, Squirrel Girl (who has an army of squirrels as an attack), Heimdall (in his movie look), and yes, even Stan Lee himself, Stan Lee is playable after you find the fifty hidden Stans throughout the game's story, and he has access to nearly ever powerset in the game. Expect a full list of characters to be released at New York Comic Con in mid-October."

At the Jean Grey School, Cerebro detects a new mutant - a very powerful one at that. Kitty takes the original X-Men with her to stop her - Animax - who's creating monsters and destroying the city. A Sentinel appears and attacks them. Cyclops and his X-Men arrive to help and both teams battle the Sentinel. They succeed, but at the last minute the Sentinel shoots against Teen Cyclops, which nearly kills him. As his life is about to end, the Old Cyclops ceases to exist. Triage heals Teen Cyclops and brings him back to life, resulting in the Old Cyclops appearing again. At the School, the X-Men decide it's too risky to have the original X-Men in the present and want them to go back to the past. They are not happy about this, especially Jean who's made up her mind about not going back. Suddenly, the X-Men from the future arrive warning that they'll stop the X-Men from making a mistake that will doom the mutant species.

Chapter 2 – All-New X-Men #16: The X-Men from the future warn that letting the X-Men from the past to stay in the present was a mistake that must be reversed.

Beast refuses to run away with her, but Cyclops accepts it. They take the Blackbird to do so. The present and future X-Men decide to go after them even though Storm and Wolverine suspects Jean only ran away because she picked something up in the minds of the future X-Men. Rachel is upset that there's somebody wearing a Xorn mask, considering Xorn killed Jean. Xorna then reveals herself to be none other than adult Jean Grey from the future.
