11/15

11/15 Then the Australian team starts falling apart. By the time the Reavers are coming back, Betsy has seen what could happen to the remaining X-Men, and she uses the Siege Perilous to get them out. And she doesn't just present it as an option and leave everybody alone. She telepathically influences them into going through. Colossus, Dazzler, Havok, and finally Betsy leave that life behind through the portal. Wolverine is absent and ends up facing the Reavers when he returns. That is a pretty major decision for her to make for other people, even with the danger they're in. It gives you something to argue about with the original Betsy. She's capable of deciding she knows what needs to happen and using her powers to make it happen. That's why I don't mean she was simply nicer before. I liked the way that earlier character was being developed, including the choices that weren't easy to defend. (Uncanny X-Men #250–251.)
