Elisabeth's abilities developed at puberty and she used them in the service of S.T.R.I.K.E, a British division of the international law enforcement agency S.H.I.E.L.D. She also developed a successful modelling career.
She went to live in Switzerland for a while, where she was kidnapped by a being known as Mojo. She was rescued by a group known as 'The New Mutants' and they returned to their base, Xavier's mansion, which was also the base for the X-Men.
After fighting off the mutant Sabretooth Elisabeth was recruited into the X-Men and took the name 'Psylocke'.
Psylocke left Xavier's mansion with a small strike force of fellow X-Men in search of the diaries of the blind mutant seer known as Destiny, which map out human history for the next thousand years. While in Valencia, Spain, the team was captured by the Action Force of the Guardia Civil, that country's national police. Subjected to a series of tests, the X-Men were released into a technologically fortified maze to gauge the their fighting abilities and mutant powers. Psylocke, Beast and Rogue found themselves in the headquarters' control center, separated from their teammates. There, they encountered Vargas, a criminal claiming to be the first manifestation of the next authentic generation of humanity, the pure and legitimate Homo sapiens superior. Her teammates wounded, Betsy engaged her opponent in a duel to the death, which ended when Vargas speared his sword through her abdomen.
