Psylocke - Mutant of the Month June 09

Written by  Nick Marinelli
Edited cover scan of Uncanny X-Men #509 featuring Psylocke in her original bodyOne half of everyones favorite mutant twins (come on, who really likes Wanda and Pietro?), the British ninja assassin, Betsy Braddock a.k.a Psylocke.  Its no surprise at all that Betsy has won Mutant of the Month. Since her inception and forthcoming to the X-Men in The Mutant Massacre, she has been a fan and creator favorite. Which also is no surprise because she has tremendous depth as a character. Being surrounded by a bit of controversy when she was turned into a hottie ninja chick from her original British body, Betsy did not falter as a character. If anything she matured into as eperate entity from what she originally was but maintaining that bit of characterization that brought her into comics and into our hearts.
X-Man, Exile, Hand Ninja, Captain Britain Corps member, British or Asian, Betsy has maintained the stability to be a fan favorite and hold her place as one of Marvel's, and especially the X-Men's, most well rounded characters which no doubt holds a place in the lore of Comic Books.
