==Summary==
Betsy Braddock AKA Psylocke is a protagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. She is the mutant twin sister of the British superhero Captain Britain, who ended up in the hands of the villainous Mojo and the Hand ninja clan, having her mind switched and DNA intermingled with that of a ninja assassin named Kwannon, leaving her trapped in a new Asian body. At some point, Psylocke joined the X-Men, a group of heroic mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier.
Following Magneto's defeat, Thanos had wiped out half of the population with the Infinity Gems, prompting Psylocke to join the heroes and villains of Earth to stop the Mad Titan, an effort the yielded success. She was later recruited by Ruby Heart to aid both heroes and villains from the Marvel and Capcom Universes in the defeat of Abyss.
