Comic Book Origins: Psylocke
Ойын-сауық
Going completely mental means something totally different for this powerful telepath. Join www.WatchMojo.com as we explore the comic book origin of Psylocke.

As with most comic book characters, there are often re-imaginations and different versions to a character's past. We have chosen primarily to follow the storyline which unfolded in 1976's Captain Britain #8, 1977's Captain Britain #34, 1986's Captain Britain #13, 1986's New Mutants Annual #2 and 1987's Uncanny X-Men #213 and was expanded on in 2001's X-Treme X-Men #3 and 2013's Uncanny X-Force #3.

She became one of my favorite mutants after I read Uncanny X-Force (both runs).

Same.
Actually: Psylocke didn't just come down with amnesia. She and the other Uncanny X-men came under ambush by the cybernetic group "the Reavers"... The were only able to escape through the Saige Perilous (probably didn't spell that correctly) given to them by the goddess Roma..Amnesia was the price her and the rest of the X-men paid to escape a battle they were to weak to fight...
LOVE LOVE LOVE Psylocke. So happy she will finally be given a proper film debut.

Physically she doesn't look the part. No muscle definition and distinct lack of muscle tone for a supposedly mutant at the peak of their physical ability. Should've got a different actress. Same as Scarlet Johanson. Her stunt double rocks, Scarlet and all her cut too close up shots ruins Black Widow.Marvel start making films like HK cinema and get your actors actresses to take full impact blows to the face and do their own stunts. Overpaid actresses who are clearly not doing anything that requires a modicum of physical activity just kills the whole effect.

I heard she was underused like most of the characters because of their lack of motives and personality. But hopefully, Olivia Munn can appear in X-Force to develop her character more. Olivia is dedicated to her martial art/sword training, but I would hate it go to waste if she doesn't appear in more X-Men/spin-off films.

My favourite X-Man. They never seem to get her character right any time they put her on screen.
Captain Britain is the British equivalent of Captain America. He given with extraordinary powers by Merlyn and Roma. Captain Britain was assigned to uphold the laws of Britain.
In X-Men Apocalypse, she had two lines but men i don't care, she was badass. She didn't need more lines, she was a badass sexy chick with the best costume in the movie. Glad she survived i need more Psylocke.

The retcons to Psylocke are ridiculous and funny. Which is why I still prefer the non retconned version. Especially when Humprhies tried to retcon her gaining her powers as a teenager. God I hate Humphries. She and brian are twins, he becomes Captain britain while in college, and NOT at 16. Dear gods Humphries is a shit writer. Betsy gets her powers at 23-26 not 16. Also if she was such a badass agent, why turn her from a girly girl into an Asian ninja trope?? They could have made her a sexy combat badass white action girl trope. Comics lol.

White Betsy is far superior in terms of characterization and non T&A adventuring. She's only now just becoming a better more well written character if you ignore Humphries very bad version.

I think Remender wrote her best personally in Uncanny X-Force.........but as far as the iconic look like it or its Jim Lee;s look it simply is before the change convoluted as it was she was a cool character but not nearly as popular. Kinda like Angel before Apocalypse got a hold of him although not as drastic or as popular as Psylocke.
Did we do Gambit yet? If not, do him.
she should do more stuff with captain britain as a she is a captain britain character.
