Psylocke - Marvel
Psylocke aka Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock first appeared in Captain Britain #8 (Dec. 1976). Starting in a supporting role with Captain Britain (although she did stand in for him briefly), her move to US Marvel comics made her a key member of the 1980s X-Men. Betsy initially possessed precognitive powers, and later developed telepathic abilities as a consequence of being born a mutant. Psylocke differed from many X-Men as she was willing to kill enemies. Her first serious brush with death saw her acquire new powers from the Crimson Dawn, where she gained a mysterious red tattoo over her left eye and new shadow bending powers.
I wanted to make this because I'm a X-Men fan, and this whole costume was surprisingly easy to pull together at a moments notice. I know.. I'm so lazy. Costume consists of: blue spandex, purple wig, red belt [I made the belt buckle out of plastic and paint], there are little bands on my arms and legs that would not stay on. I'm not terribly happy with the pictures, but I was only IN the costume for about an hour.. I'll try again.. more pictures to come [hopefully some action shots with my glowing fist]
There's a guy in a fight photo dressed as a SkullGirls character, in case you were wondering.
Worn to FanimeCon 2013. Photos by Paul Stout, and others.
