    Dude, I'm going to level with you: When a purple haired Asian lady in a skintight outfit with the ability to ninja you into oblivion AND tear up a mountain with telekinetic force tells you in a British accent that her name is 'Psylocke', nobody bothers to question it.

    It could be a reference to Shylock a Shakespeare character from the Merchant of Venice.

    Seems possible...

    Psylocke (noun): colloquial term for well-shaped buttocks. (Synonyms) Derriere, gluteus maximus, tush. Damn girl, you got a fine Psylocke right there!

    Throught time, the word degraded

    Psy laquais Psy laquet, Psy loquet, Psyloque, Psylockue, Psylocke,

    Psy laquais, a deranged person without honor serving his master

    while

    Psy laquet means (a Psyco place (small river) )

    Not quite sure if they mistaken or they wanted him to swim throught his death with his psycho friends (Assuming he have a psyco sensor) o_O...

    @captain13 It literally means locking on to one's mind psychically. Rachel Grey uses the term "Psy-Lock" when she tries shutting down Brian's mind (Psylocke's twin brother) but was unsuccessful getting a full lock. This happened during the House of M story arc. Tie in: Uncanny X-Men "Season of the Witch"... Hope that helps.

    Psylocke got her name from Mojo/Spiral. It locks and unlocks the Psyche.
