She was born British, went Asian and finally returned British. Introduced in the UK published Captain Britain #8 (1976) by Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe, she was introduced as the younger twin sister of Captain Britain. For the time, she was a STRIKE agent (UK’s SHIELD) as well as a supermodel, who dyed her hair purple. She always had psychic powers but cause the UK stories tried to be their own thing without mutants and such, she wasn’t considered a mutant but instead a Warpie. She would later take over for Captain Britain for a time, when he left the country but was badly beaten by Slaymaster. She would later be kidnapped by Mojo but, with the help of the New Mutants, escaped from the Mojoverse and arrived in the X-mansion where she stayed after she learned that she was indeed a mutant. Proving herself during a fight between Wolverine and Sabretooth, she was made an official member of the X-men.

In probably comics weirdest event in comics, she was later kidnapped and had her mind swap with an Asian assassin (Kwannon) where she was brainwashed into thinking she was Lady Mandarin. However, before she could return to her own body, Kwannon dyed from the Legacy Virus. She however was able to gain all of Kwannon skill’s as a ninja, which she put to work as she returned to the X-men. She began a relationship with Archangel later on and took on the powers of the Crimson Dawn. She would later become the living prison for the Shadow King. She was later believed killed when she was a member of the X-treme X-men but was later resurrected and joined and lead the Exiles. She would later return to the X-men and even regained her original body when the Sisterhood Mutants attack and resurrected her body. But she returned to the Asian body after. She later joined Wolverine’s X-Force. After the Secret Wars, she joined Magneto’s X-men team to keep an eye on him. She later was one of the X-ladies that when hunting to Wolverine’s body, which saw her returning to her British body.

Just like Storm, Psylocke has been one of the most popular characters in the X-men. However, unlike Storm, she has had a number of great figures. Toybiz did one in Mojo series of ML. There was planned to be a X-Treme X-men variant but that was cancelled. A few managed to get out from the factory but they are extremely rare and expensive. Hasbro released one in a SDCC Exclusive X-force Box Set alongside Wolverine and Archangel, all in their X-Force costume. Wolverine and Archangel were re-released in some form but she wasn’t. She got a new Jim Lee style figure in the Apocalypse wave. She would later get another Uncanny X-force costume in an Amazon box set with Nimrod and Fantomex, this time in her Rise of Archangel.
