    I wish they'd make more use of this ability in Betsy. It used to be one of her main powers back in the UK and it makes her more unique as a psionic.

    @Thunderscream: same here, I remember her using it under Chris Claremont and Jim Lee'd run, but she hasn't been shown to use it in years

    @Baddamdog: I think there was an allusion to it during Claremont's X-Treme X-Men run....like she had a vision of her death, leading to her flirtation with Neal (prompting her and Warren's breakup) and taking her free spiritedness to a whole new level to enjoy what was left of her life before it was ended by Vargas.

    Warren dumped Betsy long before X-Treme started. He wanted what Scott & Jean had... and so Betsy ended up having that with Neal instead.

    It was always a handy power to have, but as her powers (and body) have been used, warped, altered & abused to much then I guess she might not have it any more.

    @Thunderscream: but due to her body swap didn't she lose that ability? wasn't it said that this body swap kinda lowered her telepathy level?

    @StormyWeather: It lowered her power levels because along with a split psyche, both her and Kwannon divided the power. Kwannon was simply an empath before the incident so her body was less adept at housing so much power.

    It seems to me that since her telepathy survived the transfer, precognition would follow suite.

    @Thunderscream: but i totally agree with u tho, she'd be way more badass with that ability!! and it DOES make her different from the other telepaths

    @StormyWeather: No, Psylocke still had it after the body swapped, it was used in X-Men #4 (1992)
