The daughter of a
wealthy British family, Elisabeth Braddock discovered that she had the
mutant ability to read other's minds. Her talents led her to join the X-Men,
where she learned to amplify and control her skills. A terrible accident
in Japan left her near death, and through an ancient ritual her mind was
placed in the body of Kwannon, a skilled ninja who also possessed limited
psionic abilities. It took her some time to grow accustomed to her new
body, but found the physical skills it possessed to be a great asset. Her
mental powers had also increased, and she had the ability to form a "psychic
knife" which she used to neutralize opponents without causing any physical
damage. The other X-Men had to adjust to her new look as well, but now
she is once again a trusted member of the group.

I'm pretty sure Psylocke was one of
the first ninja girls I ever had a crush on... (hey, I was like 8 years old, gimme a break.) ^o^ Psylocke filled the "ninja girl" role in
the X-Men comic series, and in the OG Marvel universe. Her original attire is
iconic... and she spawned
plenty of wannabes - Kitana for one. lol.
In the Capcom Versus games, Psylocke shows off a badass fighting style with gorgeous, dynamic animations. That Psylocke X-Men: Children of the Atom sprite still holds up to this day. Psylocke was also a pretty fun and solid character in every game she appeared in. In MVC2,
she became notorious as a strong assist character with
Magneto (and others), thanks to the speedy & unique
combo options her assist provided. That said, she's got quite a reputation in MVC2, and can even hold her own against the top tiers - with classic ninja style. Good stuff as usual, Psylocke.
