3-Minute Expert: Who Is Psylocke?
Did she fight Sabretooth more than once? I mean prior to their fight at the mansion. That was in 1995ish right? So she was just hanging around with the X Men for 7 years before they made her official? The pic of her fighting Sabretooth at the mansion confused me.
I knew that Psylocke's history was confusing but I never thought it was this complicated...
Thanks for clearing up some question Tony!
and Kudos to whoever did the editing... that psy-blade was awesome!
Another great 3 minutes of history, I really liked this one, I wanted to know about Psylocke and Slaymaster, ever since the two battled in the Exiles. Thanks G-man.
After she went in the Siege Perilous, that's when Kwannon found her and they had that spiritual bonding thing. Then Matsuo and Spiral turned her into Lady Mandarin. So basically magic and trickery turned her Asian.
Well done G-Man. Def my favorite X-Woman right next to Marrow. Thye should do the character justice and make a film about here. But not by FOX.
PSYLOCKE ROCKS! this was great G-Man! loved the Psy-blade at the end! haha Psylocke is such an interesting character, i'm really happy she is going to be in the new X-Force! they should totally make a movie about psylocke, I mean, her story has so much movie potential, you can start it of with Brittish Betsy and her transformation to Asian Betsy! haha :)
The rest was spot on. It's tough to cram that much into such a short timespan, but I'm giddy that you elaborated on her UK origin. I heart Alan Moore, the crazy foo XD
