Biography

Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock is a British mutant telepath who has acted both alongside the X-Men as Psylocke,[18] and as a champion for Otherworld as Captain Britain.[3] While her twin brother Brian became the original Captain Britain, Betsy developed psychic powers. By serving in S.T.R.I.K.E. Psi Division, her path as a secret agent crossed with her brother's super hero activities.[55] She acted as an ally to her brother in several conflicts, eventually adopting the Captain Britain mantle.[56] Blinded by the villain Slaymaster, Braddock stood down as Captain Britain,[57] only to be captured and to have her sight restored by Mojo and Spiral.[5] Rescued by the New Mutants and the X-Men, Braddock joined the ranks of the latter as Psylocke.[18] As a member of the X-Men, Braddock has experienced unimaginable adventures. Her life got unexpectedly twisted when her body was switched with Kwannon, an assassin ninja.[52][58] Freed by Wolverine, Psylocke returned to the X-Men having to cope with the experience of being stuck in another woman's body. For years, she was a loyal soldier to the X-Men, collaborating with different squadrons and paying the ultimate price when she was slain by the villain Vargas.[33] Resurrected by her older brother, Jamie,[59] Psylocke resumed her adventurous lifestyle by accompanying the X-Men and other groups, such as the multiversal Exiles[60] and the lethally destructive X-Force.[61] Braddock's issues with her body swap were unexpectedly solved after she was seemingly killed by Sapphire Styx and was able to recover in her original body.[38] Soon after, all mutantkind was invited by Professor Xavier to live on Krakoa.[62] There, she rejected the name Psylocke and was involved in Apocalypse's machinations to recreate the mutant group Excalibur. As a result, Betsy Braddock resumed her one-time role as a mutant Captain Britain,[3] becoming the prime champion of the Captain Britain Corps.[14]
