How did Psylocke end up on the exiles and do they plan to place her back in the main continuum any time soon?
She transferred to the Exiles mostly because of the way she was brought back from the dead - by her reality bending brother Jamie. Technically she's not suposed to be on Earth-616, she should be dead. So into Exiles she went. I realy really hope they bring her back into the main continum soon, I've tried to read Exiles, I really have, simply for the fact that Psylocke is in the series, but, I think the series, to put it bluntly, just sucks. Sorry to those who work on it, who read it, etc... but I cannot get into it, I just don't enjoy reading it. I wast Betsy back in the main time stream, with the regular X-Men.

People have expressed interest in films about specific x-men and solely that x-man. Directors are already making a Wolverine and Magneto spin-off and a director has shown interest in an Emma Frost Film. Do you think its possible that someone will pick up a Psylocke film idea? Do you have any personal ideas for a film? What should they feature if they do decide to do one?
I would love to see a solo-Psylocke film, there is lots of potential there. The actress who played her in the x3 film was a good casting choice, she just wasn't given anything of substance to work with. (X3 presented the Psylocke-like character all wrong, I was very disappointed.)
The best way, I think, to take a Psylocke film, would involve ninjas, spies, intrigue...maybe set a couple years in the future. It would begin in Japan, maybe even show Psylocke getting her mind swap...the potential is awesome.

How come ultimate psylockes blade can effect Seninels?
Contributed Answer/Opinion: I've pondered that very question and the best explanation I can offer is that Psylocke's blade short circuits the neural transmitters in the brain so I guess as a stretch she can also short circuit machinery.

when psyloke and jean switched powers did psylocke ever give jean her powers back?
Contributed Answer: The powerswap granted Psylocke Jean's telekinetic might in exchange for what was left of her telepathy, which was added to Jean's already formidable psychic prowess. Jean also gained a portion of the Crimson Dawn, at least the shadowy astral form. The two never switched back, although Jean's telekinesis returned as the Phoenix Force remanifested itself within her. The parts of Psylocke that honed her telepathy were shattered by the Shadow King as he tried to escape her mental prison. Personally, I don't see how he was able to "slip through the cracks of reality", seeing as how the purpose for the power switch was specifically to deal with him.

If Psylocke was in a rumble with all the X-Women, Storm, Jean, Emma Frost, Jubliee, Rogue, , Deathstrike, Shadowcat, and everyone else who do you think Psylocke could take out?
Well, is Psylocke had enough of a drop on everyone, she'd have no trouble holding the non-psych mutants in place with her TK. Her biggest foes would be her fellow mind-powered X-women - Emma & Jean.
She and Emma are pretty evenly matched me-thinks, but I'm afraid that Jean would have the advantage unless Bets was able to take her down before Jean knew what hit her.

I am totally confused on how psylocke became asian. Wasn't the orginal psylocke british, then she was catured by the hand, and switched bodies with kwannon? That's really fuzzy please explain
Yes to all of the above. British Betsy was found/captured and her body swapped for that of the then Asian bodied Kwannon (the lover of crime lord Matsu'o Tsurayaba). So Psylocke became Japanese, Kwannon become British (in body anyway).
During the process, their minds got a little muddled together, endowing each with bits of each other's memories and powers. Newly Asian Psylocke was brainwashed and used as an assassin named Lady Mandarin. Wolverine eventually found her and helped her regain her free will and identity as Psylocke, and she rejoined the X-Men - in her Japanese body.
Around issue 30ish of X-Men, Kwannon, still in Psylocke's old British body, showed up, became an ally of the X-Men, and called herself Revanche. Revanche/Kwannon learned that she was dying from the Legacy Virus and ultimately had Tsurayaba (her former lover) kill her. So Bet's British body was forever lost, and she now is quite at home in her Asian body.
