    Both because she's the same damn person.

    I agree with this.

    But just to buck the system, instead of an Asian Psylocke with a british accent, I'm goning to say give us a British Psylocke with an Asian (preferably Chinese, I like Zhang Ziyi) accent. Take that system!

    I can't believe the "british" Psylocke is fairing so well. Obviously a half naked ninja will win every time, but I prefer the older Betsy. If they only would combine both characters she could be a kick @ss raven look-a-like with psychic fist daggers and a glowing butterfly stare.

    I love all versions of Betsy, British, Asian, Alternate, Video, Animated or otherwise. I love the character not the race.

    Either, if only to expand the number of nationalities represented in any comics.

    If I had to go for one, I'm going for British, but only because I find the fact she is living in someone else's body a little creepy...

    The original British version. And in her original body, it might have made things interesting between her and Spider-Man.

    Naw she had growth in her original body that didnt require ninjafication.. But Ninjas + Asian girls = fanboy wet dreams so Jim Lee wanted to keep her hot and half nekkid and asian. She's still a white woman in yellow face.

    She was written very well for years. As asian she wasn't, she was written as asian booty, then under a few writers pen she became more than booty in asian face.

    Yes she was all day! Shady and manipulative, all because she wanted to protect those she cared about. I miss 80's X-men.

    I've always considered Asian Psylocke to be a stereotype and a gimmick. She's another bad-a** , scantily clad character marketed to teen boys. Originally, Betsy Braddock was a white Brit, underestimated by the X-Men because of her upper class background. It felt like a cheat to suddenly make her into this ninja psychic, without any of the work you'd have do to get there. And as far as I know, the writers have never bothered to explore what it's like to suddenly change race. I suppose her status as a mutant trumps racial and class issues.
