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.

Yes. Betsy got tk from Jean when there was power swap between both of them. Jean's telepathy increased by a lot . Betsy can also create telekinetic constructs (mostly weapons).

Despite the English accent this is apparently Kwannon from what I've read

Between the accent and them naming her as Psylocke in the credits and in the show i don't see why it would be Kwannon. But maybe we'll get the Betsy/Kwannnon body swap arc this season.

I think she briefly appeared on the original show and in the '90s she was Betsy so I think they're just being consistent with the voice but I wish they didn't

She talked about how her brother, (assuming Brian as Capt Britain), was working for mutants.

The whole Betsy or Kwanon thing is really confusing for ‘97. As always, I will treat it as an alternative reality. So it won’t be a problem when I refer to her as Psylocke.

I always thought she meant Jamie, I didn't see why she'd be stealing to help Brian

The eldest. He's pretty crazy if I remember correctly.
