In our reality, Betsy was accepted into the ranks of the X-Men after she proved her courage by resisting the attack of their enemy Sabretooth when he broke into the mansion. She would be captured by the crime lord Matsu'o Tsurayaba who oversaw a process through which the minds of his dying lover Kwannon and Psylocke switched bodies. Tsurayaba brainwashed Psylocke and turned her over to one of Earth's most dangerous men, the Mandarin, whom she would briefly served, though Psylocke would ultimately regained her free will and return to the X-Men. Later Kwannon, in Psylocke's body, appeared before the X-Men, calling herself Revanche. For a time there was confusion as to who the real Betsy Braddock was. Finally, Revanche learned that she was dying from the Legacy Virus and had Tsurayaba kill her. Thus Betsy's original body died, but she lived on as Psylocke in Kwannon's original body.
