X-Men's SIEGE PERILOUS: Comic Book History, Users, & Alt Versions!

The Siege Perilous is all the rage these days in Marvel's 'Knights of X' X-Men comic book series. Betsy Braddock and her team of Krakoan Knights are hot on its trail in an effort to save Otherworld and get back to their reality, but what you may not know is that she and the X-Men already have QUITE the history with it!
Watch this video to learn more about one of the X-Men's most mystical devices, and an item that I personally LOVE to see used!
This is part 1 of a 2-part series where I examine the comic book history and alt world versions of the Siege Perilous. Check back for part 2 where I look at all the people who have passed through the Siege's portal, and discuss the drama that comes along with it.

I'm surprised with all the Excalibur/Knights of X hate. I have been enjoying the adventures in Otherworld. I enjoyed the big X-Men event X of Swords. Seeing Betsy Braddock in her original body and becoming Captain Britain has been fun. I love the expansion of Otherworld. I tried getting into Excalibur back in the 90's but it was a bore. Watching your video reminds me I need to pick up Knights of X 3.

[@vanceharris1854]

Ugh... The main reason people hate the current otherworld Excalibur and knights of x is because its absolutely terrible. If you're a longtime deep cut fan. This was all done better by people who complete understood the material. Alan Moore, Alan Davis, Chris Claire to name a few. This new iteration us a terrible take on both the otherworld and Betsy Braddock. Especially now that somehow she's suddenly a lesbian in love with Rachel summers. These people are groomers fanfik shipping the dead skins of x-men characters. Ever since Elizabeth Betsy Braddock landed on the x-mens doorsteps she was an instant mainstay. Even before her by the way of Japanese mystical makeover. But her personality and her determination has always been that of a warrior born. Even when her outside didn't match her inside. She has from day one new mutants annual 2 been one of my elite favorite characters. I personally preferred her British form best. The lovely lady butterfly turned lady lancelot. To Her early Japanese Asian ninja lady mandarin era. I absolutely loved this character. She quickly surpassed Rogue just edged out Dazzler, as my new favorite xman since Rachel Phoenix starchild left the team. Xmen 213 Simply titled 'Psylocke' where Betsy sacrificed herself to take on sabertooth one on one even though she was hopelessly outdated. And she defeated him. That very issue MADE HER an xman. I've been in love with the character ever since. Her subsequen brilliant t strategic telepathic application of her powers, her will power and her savageness made her one of the xmen to be feared and a force to be reckoned with. Once her Japanese transformation she gained the physical prowess to match her mental one. Which is why psylocke became a wildly popular character. Fast forward to today and this modern captain Britain take lacks all recognition and substance to how she's been historically portrayed since the early 80's by people who don't know her nor understand her. Psylocke became captain Britain before it was an absolute disaster which not only left her blinded and broken but ended her career at super heroics for many years until she landed up on the x-mens doorsteps. Betsy has ALWAYS BEEN JEALOUS of her twin brother and wanted his things including his identity. That nearly got her killed. She learned her lesson, only by being herself did she find the true hero and XMAN within herself. Fast forward to today and these people writing who definitely didn't read all that history. She's learned nothing, she doesn't act like Betsy Braddock, she's insufferable and now apparently a lesbian in love with Rachel summers and now a full blown dyke. WHAT !?!?... This is not the character that we love. Betsy being psylocke not captain Britain. Betsy having flaws but over coming them dispite herself. The brilliant and sharp proper lovely lady savage. The Posh British upper class upbringing who loves to play on the down and dirty side.the closet female brute. Otherworld as well isn't being depicted as well as previous incarcerations. Only if your new do you not realize all this has been done before only better. And this tiresome retread only way worse and without any of the charm or characterization of our beloved characters. With other characters who've no historic attachments nor history that makes no sense. Turing rictor a Mexican American vato into a druid?!? Turing both Rachel and Betsy into lesbians. Both historically heterosexual females who've been in long-term relationships with men. Franklin Richards and Archangel among others. What is this crap !??! Erasing Bryan and stealing his mantel because ANGRY WOMAN ANGRY AND JEALOUS AND WANTS TO BE A MAN. The SMIRKING SNARKY INSUFFERABLE BITCH PERSONA IS SO BASIC SO OVER SO UGLY noone likes it, noone thinks its cool, noone gives a crap about it except Twitter and hellyweird. Twitter isn't a real place. And hellyweird is full of pedophiles. So to ship two heterosexual females as some larping lesbian fanfik is trash. At least to us long-time true fans who've known and loved these characters since their inception. We don't really recognize them as the people they've always been. Being written by people who treat them as their own personal self insert homoerotcic fanfix instead of writing the characters as who they've always been, but giving them new chapters and new challenges. Hopefully you can understand why people aren't liking and hate what's happening. Much like our country, being run by idiots trying their best to destroy it from the inside. Burn it all down and present their own nihilistic take on reality. Personally I can't wait till this whole krakoan era is retconed out of existence by Franklin Richards. I only liked sword, new mutants and hellions. The rest is hot garbage. Lots of sitting and talking and talking and more sitting and eating and talking and sitting eating and talking. A bunch of currupt idiots trying to be witty and thinking they know better. Mirrors our world now. The elites the leftist ideology. The LET THEM EAT CAKE, LET THEM DRIVE TESLAS. Deplorable ideology. It's sickening what the xmen have become. No action, no heroics, no originality, no innovation, no lines at all. Just a bunch of unrecognizable talking heads and narcissist. Written by the same. Hopefully you understand wht we aren't fans of this dribble. And why we gravitate to this channel during an era where comics were the greatest form of entertainment and characters were at their best. When things were dynamic and exciting. Not this empty nothingness era. N was everything this character
