Description Psylocke + Huntress = Mindhunter    

Helena Braddock was the daughter of a notable crime boss in New Gotham.  Under siege by other mobsters, Helena's father turned to the mystical sect known as the League of the Hand for help.  The League agreed to wipe out his enemies, but for a price- he would turn his daughter over to them.  Helena's father agreed, and she was taken by the League and trained to become their greatest assassin.  Undergoing a brutal regime to make her into one of the greatest warriors on the planet, the League also tried to transform Helena mystically, to give her even greater power.  Their efforts paid off, and Helena's latent mutant abilities were activated, granting her incredible psionic powers.  The League trained her to refine her powers, eventually allowing her to focus her telepathic abilities into her Psionic Knife, the focused totality of all her telepathic abilities.  However, Helena was never loyal to the League, filled with a burning hatred for both them and her father.  After a decade of training, Helena broke free of her captivity, slaying her captors, and returned to New Gotham to avenge herself on her father and his organization.  Now, as Mindhunter, she wages a brutal war against the criminals who take advantage of the innocent, and isn't afraid to use lethal measures to end a threat.  

Again, this is a blending where the connective tissue isn't really that strong.  Mostly because Psylocke's origins are just so dang convoluted, one needs a flow chart just to keep it all straight.  

Guess it kind of helps to be a sexy, purple haired ninja in a one piece bathing suit, huh?


I kid, but really the thing that inspired me was that both of these characters were kind of also notable heroines in their respective universes, but just not really ones that every rose to the surface for any reason.  They managed to be distinct enough that they stood out, and had iconic designs, but they never seemed to eclipse other characters in the same universe.

Actually you could add Eletkra to the mix as well. She has psychic powers as well from training, and you could make it the source of her powers while not needing to make her a mutant.

This is great, but why don't you mix Psylocke with Hawkgirl to keep the convoluted nature? xD

good character design, but I'd try to simply that origin, way to much.

I gotta admit, this was a nice combo. Both are ninjas and both have brutal methods - Helena on Crime and Psylocke on X-Force.
