[243] After regaining her full personality from Kwannon, Psylocke offered a belated apology to Jean Grey, admitting that the flirtation was due to the presence of Kwannon's lingering personality traits in her mind, but that she did in fact find Cyclops attractive. While Sabretooth and Wolverine fought, Psylocke used her telepathy to gather information about the Marauders and their leader, Mr. Sinister, from Sabretooth's mind. [153] As part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel event, Psylocke reappeared in a world where the Terrigen released in the atmosphere by the Inhumans proved to be deadly to mutants. [104] In an interview, writer Christopher Yost and editor Daniel Ketchum confirmed that Psylocke now possesses telekinesis, telepathy, and empathy. The inconsistency was resolved by Claremont 32 years later in 2008 in the series New Exiles, which reasserted the particular spelling of her name as "Elizabeth". [150] Months later, Psylocke and the X-Men took refuge in the X-Nation under Cyclops' leadership,[151] when Earth-616 suffered from an early death as a consequence of the multiversal phenomena known as the incursions. [125] She also rescued Fantomex from Weapon XIII at Cluster’s request, but left them once more. She then walked away, feeling like the world and the X-Men were better off without her. For this reason, Magneto invited Psylocke to be a partner in his endeavors and protect mutantkind. In the film series, she was portrayed by Meiling Melançon and Olivia Munn. [190] After her transformation, Psylocke's psi-form changed accordingly.[197][198]. [96] Choosing to remain with the Exiles, Betsy traveled to several realities. "[330], Psylocke was included in IGN's "Battle of the Comic-Book Babes" contest in 2005,[331] winning the first two rounds against Aspen Matthews and then Natsumi and Miyuki, before losing to Emma Frost (the eventual champion of this edition). The X-Men responded with force, but were quickly overpowered and subdued. [332] In the final round, she managed to get almost two-thirds of the votes (64%) when pitted against video gaming's female icon Lara Croft. Inside the Black Air HQ, Psylocke fights off techno-organic Brood replicas and uses her psychic knife to open up a neural linked brain-lock. However, her psi-blade was able to break his hold on his hosts. [231] Writer Rick Remender has stated that she is now an Omega-class/level mutant and telepath on par with Jean Grey and Charles Xavier. [89] She is also immune or at least highly resistant to other psionic-based powers like the Savage Land Mutate Vertigo's disorientation power,[213] or Nocturne's mind possessing abilities. Elizabeth Braddock has been involved in a series of romantic relationships during the years. Betsy Braddock was initially a supporting character in the adventures of her twin brother, Brian Braddock, before becoming the superheroine and X-Men member Psylocke in 1986. [51][52] With some physical and mental conditioning, Psylocke—inhabiting Kwannon's body—became the Hand's prime assassin, taking the name Lady Mandarin. [338], In 2011, IGN included Psylocke among the eight mutants IGN wished to see in the sequel to X-Men: First Class, stating that "mentally, she can go toe-to-toe with fellow telepaths like Emma Frost, and physically, she can kick as much ass as Wolverine when the situation calls for it", and adding that they would prefer to see her appearing as an Asian and a ninja, while disregarding her prior appearances in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. As a member of the Force Warriors, Betsy used her telekinesis in concert with the other members to rebuild the walls around Fortress X every evening in preparation for the next morning's attacks. Any use of her telepathy would result in his release, so she forgoes the use of her telepathic ability. Upon rejoining the X-Men, Psylocke states that while she is still primarily a telekinetic, she has gained the mental ability to telepathically "suggest what people see" (i.e. In Ultimate Comics: X-Men #24, it is revealed that she has enlisted Warpath (who is in love with her) to betray both Kitty and Nomi. [206] At least once, she experienced a precognitive flash while in her new body. Subsequently, a young woman appears claiming to be Psylocke, having "jumped" her consciousness into another body before her death (however, oddly no one recognizes or remembers her). Matsu'o, now missing both hands and other body parts, desired an honorable death and wanted Psylocke to grant him that honor since he could not hold a blade to perform seppuku himself. The story sees her abducted to the Mojoverse, where she is subjected to brainwashing, fitted with bionic eyes, and referred to as "the Psylocke" for the first time. It was also shown that Kwannon has apparently returned to life in her original body as well. [240] After joining the Exiles, Psylocke has been flirting with teammate Sabretooth.
