Spoilers: The assembled X-Men, all of whom now wear matching costumes – including Psylocke – engage Illyana’s demon horde in battle. The forcefield overhead decays and collapses. The whole of the Inferno empties and converges on the X-Men while Darkchild claims she’s won. Meanwhile, Mr. Sinister reveals how’s everything is playing out exactly as he planned.
“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.

Cool, she's still alive - and this uniform is nice!
Is the young woman next to Psylocke in the second page Nico Minoru? I love her, but it's a weird choice: I can understand that not everyone there is part of the X-Men (both this woman and Brother Voodoo aren't wearing uniforms matching the X-Men's), but Nico would be just a little girl back then - not to mention she wouldn't even have her staff by then (she only got it after the Runaways confronted their parents and Nico's mother attacked her with the staff).
The same applies to Marrow, by the way (although it can be argued that she would have already spent years in that alternate dimension where Mikhail Rasputin raised her while few months would have passed on Earth).
Anyway, Betsy looks awesome in this art!
Fsaker,
I think this is several years after the Inferno event, so everyone has aged some including Canle being a boy instead if a baby. That might be why Marrow is older, no?
Also, I agree about Psylocke. She looks awesome!
She looks amazing...
Indeed, I forgot this book is supposed to take place some years after the original Inferno event. I'm still not sure if Nico would already be old enough to take part in this battle, though (or if she would already have the Staff of One).
I haven't actually read any of the Secret Ward tie-ins; only the main. In Inferno, has Betsy developed telekinesis, like in the 616? In the first panel above, there is an energy signature projecting outward from her hand and it it's the same pink as the butterfly aura covering her face.
She could just be directing her powers for more visual flare. I don't think it's Teke.
