Fight scenes in the First Class franchise have largely relied on scenes with Mystique (Lawrence) Psylocke's presence could (if the movie chooses to incorporate her martial arts skills) add another acrobatic, hand-to-hand fighter and variety to the fight scenes. There's also a potential for some cool visual effects with her powers. Why are people so excited about Psylocke? Psylocke is a first-tier X-Man and one of the most recognizable characters in the franchise. She's known for being an excellent fighter and for being able to manifest her psychic power in different forms (like her psy-knife). It was at this time that she also got her signature power: a psychic knife that can incapacitate her foes if she plunges it into their heads. Though she started off as a telepath, the body switch gave her fighting abilities, too. Her powers, like her origin story, are similarly complicated. Since then, she's died, traveled to a different universe, and returned to the X-Men. Finally, she had her body and some of her mind swapped with a Japanese assassin named Kwannon. She was brainwashed, kidnapped, and given bionic eyes. The character started off as a British psychic. Betsy Braddock - has one of the stranger ones. Who is Psylocke? Marvel's comic book universe is filled with characters with wacky, complicated origin stories. Munn got her start as a host on G4 and a correspondent on The Daily Show. Who is Olivia Munn? Munn's claim to fame is - for better or worse - being the best thing about The Newsroom.
