Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock
Franchise: Marvel - X-Men
Custom Title: Psylocke
Alignment: Villain
Age: 33
Gender: Female
Psylocke is a psionic mutant, obtaining vast powers of telepathy, the power of the mind. Her second mutation gives her the ability to move and manipulate objects useing her mind, also known as telekinesis. Not is she just powerful in the mind, but she uses her body to express her hidden physical aggresiveness.
High order telepath. She possesses vast mental powers to affect and manipulate the minds of other sentient beings. Psylocke could read minds and communicate mentally with others over long distances. When she telepathically communicated with another person over a distance, that person often perceived her presence as a butterfly-like image bearing large eyes on its wings. Being a high order telepath, Betsy obtains these abilities as well: tracking humans telepathically; hiding herself from others; limited mind control; creating illusions; causing amnesia and memory erasure; and projecting herself into the Astral Plane.
There are two techniques she uses that are unique to herself. The psychic knife, a knife that harms the nerves and brains of others, but not physically. Depending on how strong Betsy makes the knife, she can stun or kill. By stabbing the knife into another's head, she can read and manipulate their memories. Two psychic knives can be used at once. A signature 'attack's would be her Psycho Blast. A blast of psionic energy that physically knocks a person back and causes severe pain the the mind.
Ability to psionically manipulate the physical aspects of reality. She can also move and levitate other people. While she can move objects from a distance and fly as other telekinetics do, she has shown little inclination to do either in combat situations. She can also create telekinetic shields of various sizes and strength and she can fire mental force blasts that can “shatter mountains.” Only on very rare occasions she is strong enough to do that, but Betsy would never shatter a mountain anyways. Her telekinesis is also much stronger now than it was before her death. Betsy seems to find that using her telekinesis in forceful ways is easier than in delicate ways. Betsy is not that sure of her full power, because of the switch back to her British body. It is weaker though, so the shattering mountains may never happen. So, for now, she has a very limited telekinesis ability.
As a telepath, Psylocke used to take advantage of her powers in a fight by reading her opponents' movements seconds before they made them, giving her the opportunity to counter-attack faster, and she could also use her telepathy to mask her presence from other people, humans and super-humans alike. As a telekinetic, she often used her powers to augment her strength and speed, which made her fighting skills so strong that she was able to match and even outmatch other superhumanly strong opponents like Sabretooth.

James Braddock Sr. was a denizen of Otherworld, an other-dimensional realm. Merlyn sent James to Earth to father the champion who would be known as Captain Britain. Arriving in England, Dr. Braddock became one of the United Kingdom's leading research scientists. James soon married and set up home in Braddock Manor. There he created a highly advanced supercomputer he named Mastermind.
Dr. and Mrs. Braddock had three children, Jamie (the eldest) and twins Brian and Elizabeth. When Betsy and Brian were in their early twenties their parents were killed in an explosion in Dr. Braddock's laboratory caused by the malfunctioning computer Mastermind.
Many years later, Betsy was kidnapped from the Alps by Mojo and surgically given artificial eyes, restoring her sight. Xavier's New Mutants rescued Betsy, and she chose to stay at the Xavier Institute. The so called "Mutant Massacre" occurred shortly thereafter, drawing Betsy into combat once more as she fought of the savage Sabretooth in a brawl throughout the mansion. Impressed by her courage, the battle-ravaged X-Men offered her a position on the team. Betsy accepted, and adopted the codename Psylocke.
In one of Psylocke's more bizarre encounters, crime lord Mats'uo Tsurayaba captured her and switched bodies with his lover Kwannon. Betsy was brainwashed into become the Lady Mandarin, but regained her free will and rejoined the X-Men. Kwannon returned later, as an X-Men ally calling herself Revanche, dying of the Legacy Virus. She had Tsurayaba kill her, still in Psylocke's British body. Betsy lived, but was now forever in Kwannon's Japanese body. Psylocke and fellow X-Man Angel began falling in love. Sabretooth later attacked and nearly killed Betsy, having become more resistant to telepathy.
After a brief period away from the X-Men, Betsy was tricked by the Shadow King into producing a psi-wave removing all mutant telepathy and allowing him to control every mind on Earth. Although she should have died, Betsy's Crimson Dawn powers saved her once more. In a foolish mistake, the Shadow King expanded his powers too far allowing his personal nexus to be exposed. Betsy defeated Farouk, sacrificing her telepathy to keep him trapped within her astral shadow form. Jean Grey attempted to help Betsy regain her powers safely. But in the process, she gained vast telekinetic abilities instead.
Soon after, Angel broke up Betsy after viewing some flirtation with Thunderbird and admitting their relationship had hit a dead end. She then joined Storm's X-Treme X-Men squad and left the Xavier Institute in search of Destiny's 13 diaries that foretell the future. In Valencia, Spain the X-Men were captured by Spain's national police and had their powers and fighting abilities tested. Separated from the team with Beast and rogue, Vargas suddenly arrived claiming to be the first of the true homo sapiens superior. The last standing, Betsy dueled Vargas and was impaled through the chest by his sword and presumed dead.
Betsy was captured by a woman Scott Summers believed to be his presumed deceased ex-wife Madelyne Pryor, calling herself the Red Queen. The Red Queen had Spiral, Lady Deathstrike, and Chimera. members of her Sisterhood of Mutants, bring Betsy's original body from the grave of Kwannon to her hideout. Through a ritual the Red Queen put Betsy back into her original body. She was brainwashed into assisting the Sisterhood in attacking her fellow X-Men. Betsy is still brainwashed and has evil intentions.

The world around her became a reality. It came into view when she opened her eyes, because she was back alive. This wasn't imagination, dreams, hell, or heaven. It was pure reality and nothing could have changed the evidence that she had felt. A blink. A breath. A touch. Pale skin and purple hair hugged the body before her. Now she definitely knew it was real. A faint. Whisper.
The surroundings were strange and unfamiliar. No one could feel safe here, there had to be some kind of danger lurking in the shadows. Silence broke, when a malicious voice echoed through the empty room. "She is awake from her resurrection! Oh, how beautiful she is. Why can't any of you sisters be as beautiful as her and I. The first thing she recognized was that voice, Madelyne Prior. The evil clone and ex-wife of Scott Summers. Visions and memories of Madelyne suddenly flowed into her head. What was she doing here? But the real question to be answered was: What was happenening at this exact moment?
"Is that you? M-" The innocent voice was interuppted by that, once again, malicious voice. "Shut up! Sisters, it's time! We have brought Betsy back from the dead, and now we will make use of her. Now, Sisters!" Betsy! That was the woman's name, that was her lying on the table, with purple flowing hair. Dead? Was she once again brought back to life? But this time for bad intentions? Too many questions, but more voices made it painful.
Several different voices poured into Betsy's mind. It was too crowded for her too think, imagine, or fight back with her own telepathic powers. They were all repeating the same thing over and over. Commands and phrases that permanently stained her brain. Even being a high order telepath, Betsy's mind couldn't take the deadly pain put upon her. The pain finally stopped in a second and Betsy arose. "Greetings, Sisters! Now that we have a full team, we shall now strike against the X-Men.!" Betsy was definitely back. But this time, she was evil. Brainwashed and sick to the mind, she politely laughed.
Using her telekinetic powers, Betsy pulled a mirror out of Madelyne's hand and looked at herself. The first thing she noticed was the British face in her reflection. "I'm back. And better than ever." A smile was drawn upon her face, while the Sisterhood walked out of the room to cause chaos on the X-Men.
