PSYLOCKE

The daughter of a wealthy British family, Elisabeth Braddock discovered that she had the mutant ability to read others’ minds. Her talents led her to join the X-Men, where she learned to amplify and control her skills. A terrible accident in Japan left her near death, and through an ancient ritual, her mind was placed in the body of Kwannon, a skilled ninja who also possessed limited psionic abilities. It took her some time to grow accustomed to her new body, but she found the physical skills it possessed to be a great asset. Her mental powers had also increased, and she had the ability to form a “psychic knife” which she used to neutralize opponents without causing any physical damage. The other X-Men had to adjust to her new look as well, but now she is once again a trusted member of the group.
