Psylocke would like to remind you that SHE'S A BLOODY NINJA!

[wonderwomanhero]

So today I shift gears from the rather graphic and controversial Watchmen stuff I posted, back to Psylocke and company in the pages of Uncanny X-Men. Scans are from Uncanny X-Men #17.



She just went all Saint Seiya or something! I see that Storm is wearing what appears to be a replacement cape after T'Challa ripped it off of her during their fight?



Wait...you're knocking him out because......?



Yes, yes you are! (But what is anatomy?...)

Great moment, but yeah, there were a few moments in the art where I thought, "...the fack?"

[auggie18]

So, did the Maddie clone just let Psylocke stab Magneto? Wouldn't she want to stop that from happening?


Goddamn, I want at least one of those clones to survive. But they won't. :(

[silverhammerman]

The X-Brig? Are the X-Men just going full Adam West Batman with the X-prefixes? Because that would be awesome.

Psylocke keeps several different poisons on person during missions?

But where does she keep them?

[whoha]

Is it me or does Psylocke look really white?

[nyadnar17]

I really hope Unit means it when he calls Danger "student". I would like it if she became a better more widely used character because of him.

[skemono]

Turns out there wasn't actually any poison there. She just stabbed Magneto in the neck.

(In case it is not clear, I'm joking--I haven't read even the issue)

NINJA!!!!!!....ninja...

o/t

[cyberghostface]

LOL at your icon.

[turtlefu]

I actually really like this art. It has a sketchy quality reminiscent of un-inked Phil Noto and a cartoonish limberly quality similar to Adrian Alphona (remember him?)

[mrstatham]

I see what you're getting at, but now you've just made me want to see Marvel drive a truckload of money to Brian K Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's homes and bribe them to do more Runaways.

Psylocke looks very Aeon Flux in this art. Probably also why she's attacking from the front and calling her attack...because...ninja? o_O

Not just Saint Seiya, but Douglock! Cypher and Warlock would be SO proud! (And c'mon, would it kill them to acknowledge that an X-man using alien tech as body armour was an idea she got from those two?:)

[lbd_nytetrayn]

So wait, is Magneto out of it somehow? Or did he actually betray them?

[outlawpoet]

You gotta like Magneto conveniently hovering his helmet next to him so he can be mindcontrolled, rather than, like, wearing it.

[sir_mikael]

That would be great. She had a special affinity for Doug after all and the first time she even saw him (or any x-person I suppose) he was in Douglock-mode.

[sir_mikael]

That's a Jean Grey clone next to him. Me thinks mind control is involved here.

[icon_uk]

Betsy, Warlock, legal-age Doug AND Danger?? I can't even BEGIN to describe some of the places my mind just went.

[sir_mikael]

Techno-Foursome!

[greenmask]

Anatomy looks pretty good to me tbh! Still hate that high-leg leotard, but the body looks realistically and expressively active to me.

[icon_uk]

Indeed.... we'd have a telepath with ninja moves, a master of body language who could tell exactly what to do to maximise pleasure, an infinitely malleable Technarch (Who would do just about anything to oblige his friends) and self-aware Shiar tech with modular transformation capabilities!

[tessiebee]

Hang on hang on hang on. Am I wrong in thinking that Mags is way up there in the 'hard to mind control' stakes? Like Storm is with the Shadow King? I'm googling as I type this...

Also the art is ACK.

[tessiebee]

Wiki agrees with me, for what it is worth. Though I have to say, seeing it all written down like that, Magneto is ridic overpowered. So, now I agree that he should have his mind taken over just to level the playing field.

[long_silence]

A Madelyne Pryor clone with part of the Phoenix Force dissolved his helmet with telekinesis before she started controlling him.

[spacebetween]

Well it's not the first time they colour a character wrong.

Why did I instantly think of this song as I was reading this...LMAO!!!

It should be Psylocke's theme song.
