comment
Fallen Angels is a 2019 comic book series, starring Kwannon (formerly known as Revanche) as the new Psylocke, alongside X-23, Kid Cable, Husk and Bling. The series is part of the Dawn of X relaunch, and was written by Bryan Hill (Detective Comics (Rebirth)) and drawn by Szymon Kudranski (The Punisher).Kwannon got her body back due to unforeseen events in X-Men (2018), but still has a connection to the Hand from before she ever met Elizabeth Braddock. Laura and a young Nathan Summers join her on the search for answers concerning several disappeared children, who may have been taken by someone from her past.The series ended after 6 issues. Hellions serves as a Spiritual Sequel with Kwannon as a main character.

 Fallen Angels (2019) (Comic Book) / int_108c268e
comment
Hotter and Sexier: We once again have a Psylocke with the ninja bathing suit design, thong and all. Before, when Betsy returned to her original body, Psylocke had been heavily desexualized. Even before then, the sex appeal was played down, as she traded the thong for leggings. Either way, this is a definite step up in sexiness.

Line in the Sand: In #5, X-23 is training Bling!, Husk, and Cable for the looming fight with Apoth. She pops a foot claw, draws one of these, and challenges them to try to land a hit on her. She takes them all on at once. They don't.

Death of a Child: Apoth exclusively uses children for his experiments with Overclock, and uses them as mind-controlled minions when fighting Kwannon and her team, leading to most of them dying. Kwannon's own daughter is shown to be the one of the first victims of Overclock.

comment
Fantastic Drug: The arc is set up with some worldbuilding over a new drug on the market in the form of an electronic device that directly interfaces with the brain to do alter consciousness. This is noted to make overdose impossible, since chemicals aren't involved, but still runs the risk of directly inducing psychological damage.

Sequel Hook: The ending of the first arc has Kwannon and Sinister agree that if he needs any help, he'll call her. This was after Hellions was announced to be starring the two, and even the last page, usually reserved for showing the cover of the next issue of the series in Dawn of X, instead showed the first cover for Hellions.

Character Shilling
 Fallen Angels (2019) (Comic Book) / int_77552932
comment
Character Shilling: Kwannon has been hit particularly hard with accusations of this, as she's being put forward as a mentor figure for the already considerably badass X-23 and Cable. While this iteration of Nathan is still a teenager, he's nonetheless a hardened combat veteran, while Laura is a grown woman who is just as experienced as Kwannon (allowing for the time Kwannon has spent either dead or trapped in in her own mind while Betsy was driving her body). Kwannon's dialogue comes across as patronizing at best, with both characters' extensive skills and experiences being subsumed to prop up Kwannon. This has not sit well with fans of either character.

comment
Ascended Extra: Kwannon was always a very minor character in the X-Men mythos, as she hasn't even appeared in 40 issues since her 1993 debut.note The Marvel Database counts 26 appearances alive or in flashback, plus a handful for her dead body. Her body was well-known (as Betsy's) for the longest time, but she herself was not. Now, as the new Psylocke, Kwannon receives a massive upgrade in prominence, starting with the fact that she's the main character of her own comic series (which never would have happened before).

Butterfly of Death and Rebirth

comment
Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: Among the many things Kwannon inherits from Betsy is a butterfly motif. She discusses the symbolism in the second issue, representing how she is changing as a person. Although literal rebirth is not involved, Kwannon very obviously views the events of Dawn of X as a second chance at life.
