“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.

marvel now costume is probably my fav, but in terms of nostalgia i'd probably pick her rick remender uncanny x-force costume, since that is the costume she had when i first started reading comics. i don't like that it's one of her more revealing costumes and i don't like that people over sexualize that costume (and the classic ninja costume too), but like i said it's just for nostalgia. also a pretty big fan of her armored australian outback costume as well as her current costume and the lady mandarin costume.
Although accurate, I hate crediting these two idiots: Joe Madureira and Scott Lobdell. They had a run on the x-books that was way too long and constantly expressed their contempt for Psylocke in interviews. And it showed up in their storytelling too. I think that if you're the creative force behind an ensemble superhero team, you should have at least a "like" for all its characters. Instead, these two pieces of $hit did their best to marginalize my favorite comic character. Thankfully, we've recently had a string of folks like Fraction, Yost, Remender, and Gillen that have pushed Betsy back into relevance.
If Betts ever did regain her old body, I'd be curious to see her rock her blonde hair again sometimes. It actually looked good on her. Although, My favorite Psylocke was how she was drawn by Silvestri during Fall of The Mutants. In that arc, she had her princess uniform which I hated, but I loved that Sylvestri drew her hair without the bouffant style. And he drew her face really gorgeous, showing why she would have been a supermodel in her previous life before superheroics.
Re: Lobdell and Madureira... Could bot agree more. I hated both their writing and penciling on X-Men. Not a fan of either'a styles and think that both did not portray any of the X-Men well at all. One of the team's worst periods.
Lookin' so fine for 40.
Wow, this homage is fantastic! Kudos to the Psylocke: Like a Butterfly team; your dedication and love for our favorite British telepath never ceases to amaze us! It's probably a hard work for you guys, but in the end of the day, you should feel very proud of yourselves, because this may be the best blog dedicated to any X-character! Congratulations to Psylocke for her 40 years, and congratulations to this blog's team for the great job you always do to show everyone how amazing Psylocke is!
I liked Psylocke when she was in her original body also. The Asian Psylocke has never appealed me. I feel before the swap the character was more int-resting with the bionic eyes , bushy hair and being a polit and all .
💗
Awesome Picture. And You all know I'm a pre-swap fan, especially that armoured costume.
Saved as a favorite, I love your site!
