The artists understand Betsy IS the butterfly. I wish editorial understood.

X-Man said...

I like it, but I'd rather have Kwannon as Revanche and the masked ninja got her own covers. The majority of those outfits/pictures are Betsy.

Kiki M. Ishola said...

HELL YA!

OG Psylocke overload Betts vibin purple coif and pinks.

Sorry not sorry Revanche eat OG Psylocke's dust. Outback style ha ha ha!

Kiki M. Ishola said...

AMEN!

Kiki M. Ishola said...

Ditto!

Nate X said...

Gorgeous! I'd replace Blue and Gold Psylocke for New Exiles Psylocke though.

randybear said...

Betsy has had so many good looks and now she's relegated to a captain Britain uniform :(

Jaime Braz said...

Beautiful artwork a big thank you to the artist. Explains that Betsy is inextricably a part of Psylocke. Raises awareness the butterfly signature is a part of Betsy.

JJ said...

So beautiful. You can tell he properly researched, even the hairstyles match exactly how they were! Also, are they grouped together in the shape of a butterfly or an X? Either way I need this as a poster 😍

Iconic!

X-Man said...

I wish they included the British Betsy with the knives from Age of X (not to be confused with Age of X-Man), but not sure if that was 616 Betsy in an altered universe or an alternate Betsy altogether?

Tobias Chatti said...

I love Betsy she has the most different styles of the mutants. Before the race swap Betsy had three different looks in a short time and after the swap many more.

Tobias Chatti said...

@X-Man I love it more if the Age of X and the X-Tremist costumes of Betsy were in the cover. The Exiles costume included like the user with no name said.

Tobias Chatti said...

@X-Man Age of X Betsy was the Psylocke who never body swapped. A different Betsy to the 616 Betsy she had evolved telekinetics and telepathy.

X-Man said...

@Tobias oh ok. Maybe they just wanted 616 Betsy. I remember Age of X Betsy was a physical fighter as well and wielded 2 blades :)

Tobias Chatti said...

@X-Man the Force Warriors was the name of the team Age of X Betsy was from and they were strong telekinetics but Betsy liked to fight hand to hand with the double blades. Betsy is a swordsperson in every reality.

randybear said...

Betsys age of X costume was so nice. Why do Betsys best looks last the shortest

randybear said...

It would be nice for Betsy to just gain an identity similar to her self in AoX Lady Braddock was her codename and she had an awesome costume and was still a formidable psychic.

Now she just drapes herself in the union flag and has other people (Apocalypse and Kwannon)hold her hand and tell her how to do shit she had already proven capable before in the past.

The body restoration was great for both characters but my God Betsy is definitely suffering/paying for it.

Its a great time to be a fan of ninja Psylocke not so much for Betsy Braddock fans.

randybear said...

Yeah she controlled her two daggers with her telekinesis it was pretty awesome

Toffnut said...

I agree with a comment above. This should be an Excalibur variant. This is more Betsy than it is Kwannon.

X-Man said...

Thanks @Kiki

Renegade X said...

Missing the Age of X and AoA look as well, not even the House of M look not in it awwwww. But I love it, I was hoping the did something like this it was great seeing a cover of Jean Grey like this.

Rahsaan said...

Age of X chracters were not alternate characters. Legion created a pocket reality and altered everyone to fit it. In that reality, Betsy never left her original body, so Kwannon's body was made to look like Betsy's body in that reality. When everything was undone, Betsy looked like Kwannon and had the memories from Age of X until like many of the others, she chose to have them erased. I think Frenzy is the only person who decided to keep her memories.

X-Man said...

@Rahsaan so Age of X British Betsy with knives is actually 616 Betsy still in Kwannon's body, but with the illusion it was her original? Interesting.

Alex said...

Always like it when an artist remembers that the swimsuit uniform leg things weren't even.

ScarletWitch said...

I love seeing Betsy represented in all her forms she’s had some of the best costumes over the years plus the butterfly is 10/10

FSaker said...

I didn't comment on this cover before, and I don't know why...

It looks fantastic! And one detail I love in it is how Betsy's body and Kwannon's body are drawn with different facial features.

It also makes me miss her Outback armor... then again, I don't think it would fit with the Krakoan era.
