Elizabeth Barddock (Earth 1) - Smallville Extended Universe

**Elizabeth Braddock's** father, James Braddock Sr was secretly a member of a race of beings enslaved by Thanos who came to Earth to experiment on humans so that he may mold them into protectors against Thanos' dark intentions. However, after falling in love with Elizabeth's mother, James had forsaken using his research on outside humans but instead used it on his twin children. This led to the creation of Elizabeth's twin brother becoming Captain Britain and Elizabeth herself becoming **Psylocke**. Betsy and her twin brother's lives were anything but normal. Betsy was born and raised in Great Britain in a small town called Maldon, Essex. Her parents died when she and her brother were in their late teens or early twenties. Brian began pursuing physics as a major during college while Betsy decided to become a charter pilot. Brian would eventually become Captain Britain. Betsy initially possessed precognitive powers, and later developed telepathic abilities as a consequence of being exposed to mutagenic Terrigen.

At one point, Psylocke mutilated Deadpool using the Reality Stone.

## Personality

Psylocke appears to be a follower whose loyalty is only limited to those who can give her a more interesting offer. This is shown when she abandons her boss, Caliban, for Apocalypse. When Apocalypse is overwhelmed and defeated by the combined efforts of the X-Men, she leaves, though pausing to glare at them, which indicates that she may hold a grudge against them. She appears to enjoy killing or at least a challenging fight as she never uses her telepathy and only used her psionic powers for weaponry construction. Thus this limitation allows her to fight more gracefully which she appears to enjoy. She possesses a killer instinct as she does not hesitate to hold a sword at Apocalypse and Storm when they confront Caliban and she sadistically attempts to strangle Beast. Notably, when Apocalypse takes the Horsemen to the Auschwitz concentration camp, she along with her teammates seem to view their surroundings with surprise and also disgust, indicating that, for all her loyalty to Apocalypse, she seemed displeased being at the site of a prior genocide.

She appears to be on friendly or at least civil terms with Angel as she suggests Apocalypse to recruit him. Though she is clearly surprised at Angel's injury and profane rejection, she does not seem pleased to see Angel in his depressed state and appears slightly horrified at his agonizing transformation, but also extremely impressed by Archangel's demonstration of his new power. Also of note is that she and Archangel are the only Horsemen to perform any form of teamwork while they fight the X-Men. Unlike Storm and Magneto, she does not join the X-Men or become their ally, rather she goes her own way.
