Not a fan of “hot ninja” Psylocke, although I confess a fondness for Warrtsy, despite my having just given them that awful ship name.

I will go for the original Psylocke as I love her butterfly look. I played her in that build during Marvel Heroes (sadly now defunct). I wish Claremont had just kept the ninja as a separate character in her own right, as that character transformation does not date well.

Where's the pics, Peebs??

woo hoo screw you imageshack.

How did he recognize Psylocke's face? It is Kwannon's face! Where is my No Prize!

That Lady Mandarin look with the armor is amazing. So much sexier than the butt-floss thong ninja outfit.

I preferred her as a 'psycho-blaster' and telepath, although the psychic knife is an okay development.

Not a fan of the race-swapping. I wish that entire arc had been given to Karma, of the New Mutants, instead, who was already an Asian psychic training with a crimelord (her uncle Nguyen) and pretty much was 100% what Betsy ended up turning into (she even had a slow-acting mind control power that required her total concentration, and would have been greatly refined by turning into a short-range psychic attack that just shorted out someone's own control over their mind and body, rather than allowing her full control, so that she could use it much faster and without splitting her focus so much that she couldn't move or react while stabbing someone with it).

I don't even know what was up with that Crimson Dawn nonsense. I was actively reading the book back then, and it still didn't make any sense. Yikes.

Two separate characters would have been cool. Maybe two different powers, like Kwannon/Revanche can make psychic objects.

Here is a pre Lady Mandarin armored look. It was Wolverine's for some reason IIRC.

Winner Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ? V

the body swapping is super weird to put it diplomatically (and hence the problematic in the title) and even weirder when she had the chance to have her old body back and she preferred her current one.

Besides Elizabeth basically got everything she wanted with her new ninja body so now her character is a bit uninteresting to me. I preferred her as the previous versions always trying to prove herself by being extra tough and not recognizing that while she took on Sabertooth and survived in her first major issue.

It would have been an excellent story for Karma, she kind of had it with Shadow King but didn't get to be a ninja out of it ... yet Kitty Pryde did happened to get kidnapped and brainwashed and did get ninja skills so I feel like Karma got slighted. Meanwhile Rachel Summers learned how to be a ninja just by watched kitty Pryde fight.

However, I am not prepared to get into the DC ladies ... Donna Troy and Power Girl.
