Psylocke's Codename

[Mark Humbolt]

Does anyone know the origins of Betsy's codename? What exactly does
'Psylocke' mean and why is she called that?

[MemberMe]

sounds cool, she's a telepath, (psyonic -sp?) I don't know what the locke is
for, to make it sound like a codename?

I heard that it's a play on words. Psyche (Psi-Key) and Psylocke
(Psi-Lock).

With the additional sense that she's a "warlock[e]" of the psyche, and thus,
in standard comic-book form, a "psylock[e]"

I remember eons ago there being a form of psychic attack which was
referred to as a "psi-locke" where the character was paralyzed or
frozen in place by the psychic attack. -- of course my mind is fried
right now so for the issue and book I've got to do some digging :-)

Golidlocks...ladylike? She breaks and enters, vandalizes, steals food
and ends up being a squatter in someone else's house. I just don't see
it. Lock the bitch up I say!

Psylocke was introduced as a very feminine and ladilike character, so

that's where I think the locke(as in Goldilocke) came in. Psy has to
do with her telepathic powers.
