At first coup d’oeil , Psylockelooks like something of a kickshaw - two - shoes on the Page ofHellions . After all , the team is made up of several former enemies of theX - Men , and even the hypothesize admirer , Alex Summers , has seen better days . As one of the most coherent heroes in the X - Men , Psylocke might seem like an curious fit , butHellions#3 , written by Zeb Wells with art by Stephen Segovia and David Curiel , show the ruthless efficiency of the persona - and why she has been the ideal team leader all along .
The Hellions squad is presently under the leadership of Mr. Sinister , with Psylocke mostly there to verify the team does n’t get into too much trouble . However , the team is cursorily blindsided by Madelyne Pryor , the ringer of Jean Grey , who attacks with zombie - comparable clones of Sinister ’s Marauders - and promptly win in bringing Havok to her side . Psylocke ca n’t do much to block off this when feral mate Wild Child literally snap into her .

It ’s of import to note thisisn’tthe Psylocke most fans are familiar with , however . Psylocke ’s lineage are confusingly opaque in the unspoiled of times but , long write up short , Betsy Braddock flip-flop body with the assassin Kwannon to become Psylocke , but now Kwannon has her original organic structure back . The original Psylocke ’s skills as a former Hand assassin are on full display here as she unleash several precision strike into Wild Child before snapping his neck - all while nursing a bloody wounding in her side . Wild Child survives the encounter and mention the beat - down has helped him regain dominance . The issue ends with the two free fellow member of the Hellions go forward their mission .
Psylocke ’s backstoryis one of the most convoluted in comics , butHellions#3 shows why Psylocke ’s comeback is nothing short of a thrill to watch . Her current predicament almost seems remindful of Wolverine ’s during the X - Men ’s encounter with the Hellfire Club in the lead - up to theDark Phoenixstoryline . Like Wolverine , Psylocke is the only member not incapacitated by the initial assault , and like Wolverine , she ’s more than able of dealing with whatever obstacle are throw at her . While the issue does little to dissolve the return of Madelyne Pryor or her custody over the troubled Alex Summers , it does show why Psylocke might be the most grave devil of all .
The Hellions are still clamber to survive their freshman skirmish , and things are looking pretty dire for multiple squad members . However , it seems like Psylocke can definitely withstand her own , and with Wild Child now back under her command , the odds might finally be almost even . Hopefully , next issue showsPsylockegoing toe - to - toe with afar more up to adversary - the Goblyn Queen !
