Recap 2018 — Back in Her Own Skin
Things began looking up for Betsy Braddock in 2018, with twice as many appearances as the previous year. Psylocke started the year leading the Astonishing X-Men against Proteus and the Shadow King before becoming caught up in Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor.
That adventure ended on a momentous note when Betsy reclaimed her original body after 29 years, while Kwannon was also resurrected. By the end of the year, Betsy had joined the all-star relaunch of Uncanny X-Men, marking her first membership in the main X-Men team in 20 years. She also enjoyed a joyful reunion with her brother Brian Braddock and finally met her niece Maggie.
