Wolverine and the 25 greatest X-Men characters of all-time
By Mark Lynch
25.Betsy Braddock
You’re looking at one of the most dangerous people in the universe. When Psylocke was in the body of a ninja, she was almost unstoppable. She had refined martial arts skills and was/is a powerful telepath and telekinetic on top of her psychic blades. Those are enough to take almost anyone out.
Recently, she was transported back to her original body. If you think that would make her weak, you’d be mistaken. She’s still someone who shouldn’t be messed with. Betsy Braddock still possesses her powerful psionic powers and she uses it creatively.
It was disappointing that Olivia Munn wasn’t given the chance to show her skill in X-Men: Apocalypse. Munn took the time to train with a sword. It showed that she was dedicated to the role. Something that some actors don’t do. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. X-Men: Apocalypse is looked at as a failure.
The next time we see Psylocke in movies, things will be different. She’ll be the tough character we’ve waited to see. Her future in the Marvel Comics is bright as well. She will be the new Captain Britain in the reboot of the Excalibur series. This will be the start of something great.
