Psylocke (Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock, sometimes Elizabeth) is a Marvel Comics superheroine, associated with Captain Britain and the X-Men.
Psylocke rejected her role as Lady Mandarin and escaped with Wolverine and Jubilee, eventually going with them to the island nation of Genosha (which built its wealth on the basis of mutant slaves).
Psylocke later battled the powerful telepath known as the Shadow King in a fight that ended up with telepaths across the globe having their powers disabled, and the shut-down of Psylocke's own telepathic abilities after she defeated and trapped the Shadow King inside her mind (as seen in X-Men #77-78).
