don't worry betsy. i have experience with another mordred. he can take it

Watching The Pitt as my comfort show and does anyone else agree that Supriya Ganesh would make a perfect Trinary/Shilpa Khatri in the X-Men?

Just me? No one else thinks about how awesome Trinary would be in the MCU...? Anyone? 😅

Betsy Braddock and Rachel Summers in the Crooked Market

I miss them so much lol

It's mostly just that she has some of Kwannn's memories but the voices in her head seem to be entirely her own.

I hope that your friend remains safe and will keep them in my thoughts

They are going to kill so many people between now and November. Elon gutting USAid will be peanuts in comparison. And Congress is overflowing with cowards and grifters. Too busying enjoying Palantir donations.

I keep seeing people complaining about how much inner dialogue "Psylocke: NInja" has as though that isn't the entire point of the book. To learn how the brainwashing affected and ultimately changed Betsy's mental state and character moving forward.

When Psylocke: Ninja sold out, people were making weird excuses like, "Well the stores didn't order a lot probably so of course it sold out," or, "Maybe they just didn't make a lot of the comics to begin with."

It being in the Top 20 of comics last month kind of moots those points.

Rachel Summers ("Phoenix") & Betsy Braddock ("Captain Britain"). One of the best developments of Krakoa was having gay people in X-Men comics. Howard/To Excalibur will be remembered in a decade as an all timer MARK MY WORDS

butch witch/femme knight?? in my x-men?? yes please.

I'll believe it when I see it.

"The book wouldn't have sold well if it was called 'Betsy Braddock'!"

Yeah, no duh, and I imagine Psylocke V2 wouldn't have sold as well if it was called 'Kwannon', that's why they superheroes have superhero names!

Thank you! Really enjoyed how this consolidated the story for new readers. :)

Right, I just thought that him saying it would take "more than" was a reference to them calling in Spiral. 😅

"an IYKYK" moment. Acronyms are hard.

Question for you if I may, @hackintimseeley.bsky.social! I saw you mention Spiral won't be involved in the story but was wondering if this was kind of meant to be a wink and a nod (an IFYKY) moment for her involvement in the swap? That's how I read it at least.

It seems to be for new readers who are confused by the misinformation on the internet about the swap since Kwannon became Psylocke. People who don't know about Betsylocke's original stories, the retcon, her kidnapping, etc.

There's been debate about whether or not the Braddocks are Catholics or Anglicans, as they are aristocracy but have been called Catholic on page... and I'm kind of wondering if "Bloody Bess," originally meant to be a Betsy variant, isn't also a reference to their Catholicism?

Now reading post Age of Apocalypse 90s Excalibur and I felt like trying the black Captain Britain costume on current Betsy Braddock. Super sleek, keeps some 90s Psylocke vibes while being true to the CB legacy.

An added bonus is that Bess and Nightcrawler, Rachel's ex, were lovers.

I think that Bess should take the Revanche codename, it'd be fitting. She'd have a lot to try and reclaim after discovering she's just a copy.

(Obviously that isn't 'canon' but it SHOULD be.)

I am obsessed with the idea of a Crimson Dawn miniseries exploring Bloody Bess's connection to Betsy and Kwannon, and how she would feel about Ray.

We know what happens when people threaten Rachel, but how would Betsy react if the person hurting her was someone who shared a piece of Betsy's soul?

I was really hoping with all the OG Psylocke love we got in X-Force and also Puzzle Quest this year that Marvel knew we wanted THIS version revisited, if any.

Maybe we'll get some references to it in Ninja?

October really spoiled me as a Rachel/Betsy shipper with that novel about how Ray is the love of B's life.

I need them back. And I need their demi-god from the multiverse/fae of Otherworld dynamic more thoroughly explored.

I really love how these covers make his modern suit look.

Can you say if he's going to be leaving Adjectiveless for this series? Or are we able to get a double dose!

I occasionally remember I made a Substack while I was unemployed but then got a job much quicker than expected (very lucky!) and have not gone back to it since. 😅

Oh hey, thanks for reading 😊

weirdly, when you lay it out like that, there's a massive cosmic scifantasy story to tell here that I only just thought of right now. I have a whole other one in place but .... hmmm... yeah...

and, yeah. they could be an iconic couple.

hey look an excuse
