I think Psylocke should be renamed to Betsy Braddock, with Psylocke as an alias on that page. She's given the Psylocke alias away to Kwannon and it seems like a permanent change, since I doubt Marvel wants to restore the "white woman in a Japanese woman's body" dynamic for PR reasons.
This is a nonsensical line of argument, equivalent to arguing that Hulk going worldbreaker at the end of WWH was actually not that impressive because the radiation pouring from his body did not instantly vaporize the various human-level characters standing around him, or that Superman is not actually that fast because the sonic booms from his movements don't shatter the bones of the people standing around him. Comic book writers are not renowned for thinking these things through.
I have to look askance at the motives of anyone who claims Superman is "kept down by lightning" while skimming over Immortal Hulk being KO'd by Ben Grimm.
What was so different about that version of Thor? In the present day, Thor claimed he had never faced a stronger version of Hulk than when his skull was cracked by one hit from Immortal Hulk.
Emma being unable to TP Thor is almost certainly PIS, given that a street-level villain like Madcap has been able to control Thor without any difficulty. Moondragon's old feat of controlling Thor was pretty unremarkable before AvX tossed in the idea that Emma wouldn't be able to use telepathy against "the mind of a god".
Buddy should in theory be able to just copy Drax's powers, as he's copied aliens before, though Drax probably doesn't count as an "animal". He once copied Superman's heat vision and flight, but it's possible he was copying Superman's dog when he did that.
