Not as hot as a hot asian ninja assasin, with a british accentdrool
That's the thing. She didn't really hold her own against him. He toyed with her and destroyed her on the astral plane, but she was brought back by the Crimson Dawn. He left the nexus of his power exposed, and that's how she defeated him. There's nothing to suggest that any other top TP wouldn't have been able to do the same. The only advantage she had was that she was able to use the shadows on the astral plane to hide. But this is all after he kicked her butt. If not for the Crimson Dawn, she wouldn't have survived.
By the same token, one could say that Emma's ability to hide herself and her students from Onslaught would guarantee her a victory. Psylocke is a beast, no doubt, but Emma is just as fierce. Remember, this is the same chick that humbled Rachel.
If this were classic Psylocke, I think Emma would take her in a straight up TP fight. Current Psylocke, and it's obvious Emma has no chance.
That pretty much sums it up when your opponent is completely immune to telepathy, reality warping etc and can implode you with a blink of an eye.
As for Classic Psylocke vs Emma in a telepathic battle it's got to be Emma. Classic Psylocke not only used the Crimson Dawn to fight ShadowKing but she has never been refered to as a first order telepath(At least not to my recollection) which Xavier loves to throw around.
Also when powerful telepaths are dying/dead they usually transfer their minds to other people(Usually other telepaths)...Betsy never did this when that happened to her. Emma has done this and has had her mind lingering in a psychic coma. Jean transferred her mind to Emma's shell when the Hellfire club was attacked. So for the Astral battle I'd go with Emma.
Emma's hotter and she also has a British Accent well according to Morrison she does.
