    That is the actual thing that can make Psylocke's character have another dimension, why can't she accept her true self....being a british woman with blond hair. If she is given a choice, will she go back?


    Wouldn't it be interesting to see Psylocke in a different body again? hmmm... it worked with the asian body right?

    Do you really wanna see another blonde psychic tho? I mean it think its pretty sweet with the range of hair colours for the different psychic abilities the X-Women possess, I mean Jean is a red-head with telepathy, telekinesis and host to the fiery cosmic being the Phoenix Force, Psylocke black haired psychic ninja with telekinesis and a psi-blade along with immunity to telepathic assualts among other things, and Emma Frost and the Stepfords are blonde with Telepathy and a diamond form...

    The hair is like a colour code for their powers.

    I do miss Psylocke's butterfly effect, I thought it was such an awesome way to display her power, Im glad in Wolverine and the X-Men they brought it back.

    If he regenerated & healed the body she was was last using, then giving her back her original body would also give her the Legacy Virus, unless thats been cured.

    But giving her back her real body is like making the Thing able to control his powers. Or people not hating Spider-man. Or people not hating the X-men, who are born with powers but loving the superheros that are all probly radioactive like the FF.

    He brought her back and manipulated her body to make her stronger. Bringing her back to her British body would of significantly weakened her.

    In the latest Uncanny X-Force Otherworld arc, Jamie actually did present the opportunity for Bets to return to her Brit bod...she opted for the magically imbued Captain Britain frock but chose to retain her Eastern epidermis.

    Face it, she's accepted who and what she is and she's not turning back...until a ballsy writer deems it necessary.

    Because Marvel wants a super-hot Asian mutant heroine to promote, market and make money from.

    Until they don't want that, she'll remain a Brit/White who is physically Asian.

    I will love Betsy until the end of time, but I do think having a Caucasian female in the body of an Asian female kind of does a disservice to the Asian representation in comics.

    Im late to this. But agree with Herc and oracle. Some fans didn't even want her in the new suit she just got. They wanted her to remain half nekkid forever. Hoepfully with the new suit things change. Humphries has bad start, but Woods is doing her justice. The X-men need an actual asian for diversity, not a white woman in a fake body. She didn't choose to come Asian or Eurasian, Marvel did. Ballsy artist gave her a new suit and it stuck, and Cosplayers love it. Now another Ballsy writer can put her back in her proper body, when they want to. Just because you destroy one form, doesn'tt make it gone forever. Ask Charles Xavier.
