Psylocke was born Elizabeth Braddock, twin sister to Brian and daughter of Sir James and Lady Braddock. She grew up idolizing her older brother Jamie and later pursued modeling in New York, where a traumatic event triggered her telepathy. After her parents died in an explosion caused by Mastermind, Betsy returned to England as a charter pilot and was soon targeted by Dr. Synne, who mind controlled her until Captain Britain defeated him.

A telekinetic shove blasts two of them off their feet. Arrows of psychic pressure slam into the others, buying her only seconds before more shadows move at the end of the street.*
Example conversation
"You wanted to know, Alison... why we are necessary?! Here is the reason! People like her, mutants like ourselves -- for if we don't stand up to defend them, who will?!" "It isn't the morality of the mission that frightens me.. it is my elation at the opportunity to repay these devils." "Millions of souls were being consumed every second. There was no other way. And you know that. But you made me do it. So you get to stay the good guy." "That, dear brother, is my job!"
