History

Early Life[]

The early life of Psylocke largely mirrors that of her Earth-616 counterpart.

Elizabeth Braddock was the sister of Brian Braddock, who would go on to become Captain Britain. Being a mutant with the powers of telepathy and telekinesis, Elizabeth briefly tried to fill her brother's shoes, but was blinded by one of his foes. She would eventually recover, and became a member of the X-Men. After being gravely wounded in battle against the Adversary, she led them into the Siege Perilous, which healed their wounds.[1]

Prior to the release of the Terrigen Mists into Earth's atmosphere, Betsy was brought into the Siege Perilous by Merlyn and Roma who decided to teach her in the ways of magic. This would spare her life when the psychic birth of the Skull caused the death of almost every telepath on Earth.[1]

When Captain Mar-Vell traveled into the Siege with Captain America, Medusa, Black Knight, and King Britain to seek the book of Darkhold, Betsy was briefly reunited with her brother.[2]

Betsy was also later in attendance at her brother's wedding to Medusa.[3] Later on, she assisted Dr. Strange and Merlin with her brother, Medusa, Black Knight and Ransak the Reject's battle against Mephisto and the Deviants, which ended in Mephisto's death after he was stabbed by Excalibur.[4]

Following the victory, Merlin convinced Dr. Strange to take Betsy on as his new apprentice.[citation needed]

Attributes

Powers

Seemingly those of Elizabeth Braddock of Earth-616, however at this present time the full extent of her powers, and her aptitude with magic thanks to Merlin and Roma's continued training remains unrevealed. She permanently has a telekinetic "butterfly" around her face, if this is a reflection enhanced psychic abilities or just for appearances remains to be revealed.
