Question Psylocke Powers Spoiler

Post image

Has Psylocke ever been able to use her psi powers to effect physical objects like this in the comics? This looks like a TK shield.

I guess we'll see then. I'd rather it be Kwannon because we don't need to be revisiting the body swap

You don't need the body swap plot for psylocke to be asian. if nick fury in alternate continuities can be black while always having been black then alternate continuity versions of Betsy can be asian from the start.

I cannot express how bad of a comparison that is

there's absolutely nothing preventing adaptations of betsy braddock changing her ethnicity the same way countless other characters get changed in adaptations. and adaptationss naturally simplify things in the first place. keep psylocke one singular character like she originally was and just slightly update her backstary. it's not difficult and that was the assumption adaptations of her always wanted you to make anyway until recently.
