Psylocke Wiki | Danbooru

An X-Men character with the powers of telepathy and telekinesis.

The first Psylocke was Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock, a British woman who was the twin sister of Brian Braddock, aka Captain Britain. When Betsy was captured by the Mandarin, she ended switching bodies with a Japanese ninja mutant named Kwannon, which Betsy continue to use her codename Psylocke in her new Japanese body over 29 years. Eventually both Betsy and Kwannon switch back to their original bodies with Betsy becoming the new Captain Britain while Kwannon becomes the second Psylocke.

A third Psylocke was introduced in Marvel's 2021 Demon Days mini comic series set in a Marvel universe that merged with Japanese mythology. This version of Psylocke is named Sai, a wandering Samurai who hunts Yokai with her psionic powers. The Psylocke Sai would later appear in the video game Marvel Rivals.

As a result of her confusing backstory, Psylocke is either portrayed as British, Japanese or British Asian in other media.

In film, she appears in X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Apocalypse in the X-Men film series. In videogames, she appears in the Marvel vs. Capcom series and in Marvel Rivals.
