Line 84:
* [[Smug Super]]: Has the tendency to be extremely condescending.
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: This outfit. http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_medium/13/131045/3075444-9179808705-55475.jpg
* [[Stiff Upper Lip]]: Just like her brother, Brian, and fellow British superheroine, Spitfire.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: '''The ninja bathing suit.'''
* [[Stuffed in A Fridge]]: Initially averted. - When Kaptain Briton tried to rape her, she reacted by messily killing him. Some issues later, her eyes were poked out by Slaymaster, much later, Vargas killed her once. She got better though.
* [[Thong of Shielding]]: Her costume sometimes covers her behind completely, just showing off her thighs. Other times, it can be ''generously'' called a g-string. It does not help that in almost every panel that she's in has her striking a pose that's like something out of a Hip-Hop video.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: A possibly inadvertent subversion. - On paper, going from a supporting psychic to badass ninja sounds like an upgrade, though she proved as far less effective in ninja mode, like losing most of her super powers, mostly filling up as the [[The Worf Effect|Worf]] of the team, and getting eviscerated brutally by Sabretooth, a foe she had previously been able to defeat by psychic powers alone.
** Somewhat justifiable circumstances. Wolverine had "popped a claw" into 'tooth's head previously, and told her after she smacked him with a psychic knife:
** [[Depending on the Author]]...It counts as played straight (Ninjas do a lot of evading attacks, unlike her previous, armor-clad self...In addition, it has shown that her psychic blade plus her superior telepathy proves mostly to be a [[Game Breaker]]) or subverted ([[The Worf Effect]] mentioned above).
** Of course, shortly before her death ''many years'' after her resurrection, Psychole is the [[Action Girl]]-loving-to-[[Author Appeal]] levels to [[Chris Claremont]] for a while. After she was resurrected, she's been kicking ass, taking names, and having a lot of bad guys feel her psychic blade's wrath, which apparently appears like a katana, since [[Katanas Are Just Better]]. Against foes, who should be aware of her [[Super Weight]] class, she will "find a way to win." Which Claremont's favorite [[Author Catchphrases]] currently. ''Today'' She is definitely more badass than where she started, even if it wasn't a steady, yet consistent climb.
* [[Twin Telepathy]]: The Twins share a special bond through her telepathy.
* [[Wearing a Flag on Your Head]]: As Captain Britain/Lady Briton.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: As mentioned earlier, after her [[Race Lift]], Psylocke spend some time as the punching bag for every villain on the block (Which culminated in being killed off of showing how dangerous Vargas was). Fortunately, in the 2010s spotlight, she returned in full badass mode.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Wearing her ninja costume.
