I like the Aristocrat. I wonder if they'll use that at times in the series.

I like the Aristocrat.

& I honestly don't mind her codename being Butterfly,

Especially with how they had attempted to strip her of it, Butterfly is just as personal to Betsy as Psylocke is imo.

& imo that was what was missing from CB (not to mention that's not just a codename but a mantle that never fit Betsy's personality imho).

With that said, I'm still not completely convinced she's not taking back Psylocke yet lol.

Like maybe at the same point she gets her official costume she retakes it, & Butterfly is just a temporary name.

Only because they have marketed her recently as Psylocke on X-men 97, & with these 2 recent books of Psylocke Ninja & this new Outback book.

So they are presenting her as Psylocke in both bodies.

All this would have people associating & remembering that she was Psylocke, & usually that is an intentional move.

Plus Yosts just called her Psylocke in that last interview, when considering the recent confusion, he could have just called her Betsy lol.

But who knows? I like both names, so I kinda see it as a win win either way lol.

Very excited about this book though.
