eliyesThis is something I never realised for myself, but which seemed SO OBVIOUS once it was pointed out to me that it kinda blew me away.
Elizabeth Braddock (Psylocke) shows a marked tendancy to be attracted to guys who strongly resemble her twin brother, Brian.
Exhibit A: Douglas Ramsey
He looked like Brian at that same age, right down to how he combed his hair (though his face was usually drawn as shorter). Another thing they had in common: Brian was a dedicated tinkerer of machinery; Doug was a talented hacker.
Exhibit B: Warren Worthington III
When Betsy started dating Warren, he had his hair grown out maybe an inch longer than her brother's. Tall, blond, rich, depressed and unstable... The two men had a lot in common at the time.
Disturbingly, both of these romances happened after a version of Brian from another reality tried to rape her. He didn't succeed; she killed him with her powers.
The cycle was finally, finally broken when she fell for Neal Shaara... or was it? Sure, he doesn't look like Brian, but he's a handsome, arrogant man from a wealthy family, he attended university in England -- not the same one as Brian -- and got a degree in physics -- like Brian.
