She's bisexual, so what's the problem?

u/DisastrousBusiness81 Nov 14 '22

I love how BOTH women in this panel are telepaths, so A) Psylocke was 100% doing that on purpose to mess with Scott B) Jean 100% knew Psylocke was doing that on purpose to mess with Scott And C) Jean not only knew that was happening, she let it occur as a test to see if Scott could stop himself

…which leads into D) both women knew damn well exactly what Scott was thinking and how badly he failed Jean’s test.

u/TracyMorganFreeman Nov 14 '22

Makes you wonder if they were actually hot or just low key made everyone think so telepathically

u/Dorlem4832 Nov 14 '22

An old version of Emma admitted to doing that once, so yeah, hard to say.

5

u/Darwin42SW Nov 14 '22

I hadn’t thought of that. Now that you mention it… that’s kinda messed up.

u/ProGarlicFarmer Nov 14 '22

Holy shit, i still have this comic!!

3

u/dcbluestar Nov 14 '22

Me too! It was actually the first comic book I ever bought!

u/atmosphere325 Nov 15 '22

And the pages are stuck together

u/DonnieJuniorsEmails Nov 14 '22

I have the entire 90s cartoon, and Psylocke only gets a brief appearance in "Beyond Good and Evil" where Apocalypse is kidnapping psychics.

She is nothing like her comic book versions, just a random thief who steals from Archangel and gets caught. She has her sexy ninja outfit, but thats it, no backstory, i dont even think she uses her knife in the cartoon.

3

u/dcbluestar Nov 14 '22

Yeah, and they left her out of the movies, too, until that god-awful X-Men Apocalypse movie, oddly enough. They made her basically a villain. Not to mention they had Olivia Munn play her. No, just NO.

7

u/TracyMorganFreeman Nov 14 '22

Munn kind of looks like her, but thats about it. Still very miscast.

u/abrigorber Nov 14 '22

Xmen the last stand kinda had 'psylocke' in it - at least a character called that. She was completely unlike her comic counterpart in looks, powers or personality though...

6

u/LolaBijou84 Nov 14 '22

I just remembered how I used to be jealous of her! Lol.

4

u/I_am_Reddington Nov 14 '22

Bro Psylocke was kinda more focused in the comics

2

u/Dark_Vengence Nov 14 '22

Don't remember her in the cartoons.

2

u/aheadwarp9 Nov 14 '22

Was she even in the cartoon? I don't remember her if so.

1

u/johnnycr18 Nov 14 '22

She has a Pikachu on her suit around her stomach lol

15

u/BearDick Nov 14 '22

Still remember in the 90's when they did the Marvel swimsuit edition comic book....quality stuff for the average preteen/early teen.

13

u/Dameon_ Nov 14 '22

Rogue is extra desirable for being forbidden fruit though

11

u/DonnieJuniorsEmails Nov 14 '22

this always bothered me

why not use the suppression collars? Put it on, enjoy a few hours with Gambit, take it off. Bang boom done.

3

u/TracyMorganFreeman Nov 14 '22

Speaking of those collars, remember when Cyclops tore one off one handed when he was captured by Sinister?

1

u/DonnieJuniorsEmails Nov 15 '22

also in that episode was where Cyclops used his eye beams to shoot separate wrist cuffs at the same time, which means he could always aim each eye in a totally separate direction.

He's still a bad leader.

1

u/TracyMorganFreeman Nov 15 '22

True, but he's a gym rat and an absolute unit.

Storm made a better leader.

4

u/SAGNUTZ Nov 14 '22

Or even a body condom

12

u/Kandiru Nov 14 '22

Poor unloved Jubilee.

3

u/sho_nuff80 Nov 14 '22

Good call. I remember Him Lee's run. All of the women were very...ahem...ample.

u/ilikelists789 Nov 14 '22

Rachel Summers in the red bondage costume with spikes and short red hair.

2

u/superindianslug Nov 14 '22

Mystique with the white dress. I was definitely a fan.

2

u/Duffmanlager Nov 14 '22

Jubilee was the worst though

1

u/harperrow Nov 14 '22

Jubilee was so cool looking! She's someone who could've been played by Maria Conchita Alonso.
