    As we know, Wolverine's X-Force's existence has been hidden from the X-Men ever since Cyclops disbanded them after the events of Second Coming. However a few members, namely Psylocke, Wolverine and Archangel, also have roles on the usual X-Men roster as well. I took this into consideration while looking at the silhouettes on the covers of the new X-Men Regenesis titles and found something interesting concerning my favorite X-Woman.  Take a look at these covers.

    Here is the cover for Uncanny X-Force. The female is obviously Psylocke. The glowing pink telekinetic katanas are a dead giveaway and Remender had already confirmed that she would be around for UXF year two.

    Now look at this cover. Next to Jubilee there is a woman, and what do we have there at the top? It's seems like a pink, glowing sword.   

    Could that be Psylocke on the team with Jubilee? The sword is held straight into the sky in a powerful and authoritative manner. Could she possibly be the leader of this team? What do you guys think about this?

     

    EDIT: It is her. Replaced the pic with the updated version.

    @SC: Uhm... Alright? Lol. The sword is pretty thin too which leads me to believe that it's a katana and it would make sense for Betsy to have a place outside of X-Force.

    @SC: Oh and also! The Uncanny X-Men Cover is the blue team as well as the X-Men cover, whereas the X-Force cover is gold team. Since all the covers connect, Illy can't be on two blue covers.

    Or Pixies. It shares a likewise energy signature, and is often exaggerated in length and girth on covers.
     
    This is the first I've heard anyone theorize that we could see characters on the X-Force cover and another due to the secrecy of the former
    though, and I must say it's impressive reasoning.

    @CATPANEXE: Thanks. I was thinking Pixie as well, but after speculating who the other characters might be I think Psylocke would be a better fit. Here's my theory: To the right of 'Psylocke' is Domino. Behind Jubilee is some version of Sabertooth, more likely AoA. And the person in the far back with the cape is already confirmed to be Storm. I'm really liking the idea of a team where the majority are female.

    I too was thinking that it would be Pixie and that behind Jubilee was Warpath.

    This was posted earlier in the site. With Storm in full color, it let us se a larger sword? Andthat head, it totally look like Psylock.
    Also, how about that black line passing in front of Jubilee coat?

    @king claw: I think that line could possibly be a steel katana, which would give further evidence towards Psylocke. Thanks for posting the image with Storm. And yeah, the head and hair do look like Psylocke and I think that if it were Pixie, we'd be able to make out the silhouette of wings.

    I'd love for Betsy to be on two teams. I might actually read X-Men if she's in it.  
     
     
    Of course, she should be in a team book with Scott, Emma and Rogue, but that's another matter.

    It would be an interesting story to have Psylocke as a spy for Wolverine!! But the again if it is Pixie (who has basically been adpoted as a popular member into the X-MKen ever since New X-Men was cancelled) her soul dagger could be giving off a simular pink energy... the dagger doesn't necessarily have to be as long as the pink energy suggests, it could just be giving off pink energy. Plus Pixie has become friends recently with Jubilee but that's it!! Pixie hasn't really had any big interactions with Storm, Warpath and "Domino!!"

    It really looks like Betsy now that Warpath has been revealed. You can definitely see the sash and make out that she's wearing a skin-tight outfit with long hair. Could this mean that Psylocke's going to have a bigger role? It's quite an important thing for one character to be on both sides of such an important event. I just hope that Gischler will be able to write her well should she be on the team!

    @Tazirai: I'm actually fairly certain it's Betsy.  With Warpath revealed you can see her quintessential sash and long hair. If it were Pixie, her dagger wouldn't be depicted that long and we'd see some evidence of her wings in the silhouette and her hair would also be shorter. As for Kwannon... I'm sure the story of how she somehow dug herself out from six feet under in Japan would be an interesting read.

    While it may be inconsequential...or part of the X-Force uniform, has anyone given thought that Psylocke on the X-Force cover is wearing a white sash rather than the usual red and that the costume design varies slightly from the usual? (Could it be someone else?)

    @Outside_85: Both are Psylocke. Remender has hinted in interviews that her powers will increase in strength so in the near future she may be capable of creating twin katanas.  I think this is the most recent depiction of them 
      From Butterfly Blade in Breaking Into Comics The Marvel Way #2 where she explains her powers to Rachel.

    True and he said she has omega potential i believe, she he's probably going to fix the glitch with her powers that happened from shadow king, body switching, dying......so on, i just hope they finally stabilize her power set because i keep losing track of her actual abilities

    Here's a panel from the X-Men: Regenesis One-Shot preview:

    Seems as though the X-Men title with Jubilee will be Cyclops' X-Force. Things just seem to be getting more and more interesting for our dear Betsy.

    UNLESS, after the Dark Angel Saga we are left with Psylocke + Revanche or something :P I think it's unlikely though, the editorial staff seems to know very little of characters that weren't in Astonishing X-Men from the Whedon/Cassaday run.
