10 Mutants We Need To See In X-Men: Apocalypse

2. Psylocke

Betsy Braddock has a long and complicated history with the X-Men. She first appeared as Elizabeth Braddock in her brother Captain Britain's Marvel UK series, created by Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe. She was later worked into a member of the X-Men known as Revanche, who was a telepath with limited telekinesis in her earliest appearances. However, she would experience a massive change as her consciousness was irreversibly placed into the body of an elite asian assassin and she became Psylocke. She would remain a valued member of the X-Men, lead her own team of X-Force, and even join the reality-hopping team known as the Exiles. Betsy fought against Apocalypse many times, but played a huge role in X-Force's dealings with both the old and new Apocalypse. Her team was first responsible for the death of a reborn En Sabah Nur, still only a child in training to be the next Apocalypse. Then, when Betsy's long-time lover Warren was finally corrupted by the manipulations of Apocalypse, Betsy was transformed into the Horseman known as Death. X-Force's battle with Archangel would result in a trip to the Age of Apocalypse universe, where Betsy was freed from her role as Horseman, which allowed her to kill Archangel and end his threat as the new Apocalypse.

Psylocke made a very brief appearance in X-Men: The Final Stand played by Mei Melancon, but in a movie filled to the brim with mutants of all shapes and sizes she was easy to miss. With the X-Men cinematic universe developing in new and exciting ways, it's a perfect time to see Psylocke on the big screen, especially when mixed with some of the other mutants we want to see in X-Men: Apocalypse. Also, given rumors of an X-Force film in development, Betsy's time with both teams makes her one of the few characters most likely to help carry a new spin-off series. Especially considering the next character we need to see...
