What feats make you think that though?

Also, most of stuff that I listed does counter her tk.
1.Portable teleporter= teleport before she throws him into something like a ragdoll.
2. superior speed= get to her and knock her out before she begins using her tk.
3. far superior fighting abilities= teleport next to her and beat the crap out of her.
4. Vibranium suit= she won't hurt him if she throws him with her tk.
5. energy daggers= teleport behind her and stab her.

The reason I said powers is because she also has telepathy, which, especially when added to her complete fighter profile, nullifies everything you mentioned. Most of what you say here assumes T'Challa can move faster than Psylocke can think, which you have to prove. Without that kind of speed, these things wouldn't counter telekinesis either.

Funny how Fraction resurrected her with a (stated on panel) plan to make her mainly telekinetic w/ limited tp...

Rick: Screw that. Let's do the other way round.

Quick enough to jump in Sue's force field before she closes it.

Captain America say's T'Challa is faster than the beast he's named for.

T'Challa matching Wolverine's attack speed and toss him across the room. Wolverine couldn't believe it, either.

Sabretooth, who cannot believe that Panther is that fast. Bad thing about it is that Creed had a head start.

Black panther is at least as fast as wolverine. Black panther dodges wolverine and thinks it all a game where as wolverine is fully serious. To be fair wolverine does pin him down in the end, and black panther throws him off because the thing shows up and distracts them.

Take note, all of these feats are before his recent upgrades.

You know I could really see BP winning a comic fight though. Dude's got skills.

I've snipped the images, since it said the post had too many. Those aren't "high-end" bullet time feats you posted though. They are generally accepted as aim dodging at best. Black Panther is essentially making himself a hard target to hit, not actually dodging bullets. I don't have the luxury of copy/pasting from a Psylocke respect thread 😛 , so I am using less scans, since I am too lazy to dig through old comics. I'll post some relevant images though, and sum up my point afterwards.

Psylocke deflects a bullet.

Psylocke slashes so fast, her stroke is literally invisible.

Black Panther is fast. I agree. He is not fast enough to do what you described, which requires near speedster levels of speed. I've used less scans here, but Psylocke's bullet deflection is the only unambiguous example of bullet time reflexes posted thus far. In a fight context, they are probably around the same speed level.

What are the feats after the upgrade? I keep hearing about this upgrade, but never see anything.

And there is still the issue of Psylocke's telepathy. I'll shoot out a hypothetical attack on Psylocke's behalf. The match starts, and Psylocke thinks "sleep"(she's done this before), and watches Black Panther collapse on the floor snoring.

Why would this not work?

I mean, I can forgive Remender since Uncanny X-Force was(was) such a good series, but it was definitely confusing wondering if the telekinesis was forgotten or not.

It was fading even before then it seemed. Carey referenced it in Legacy with Psylocke and Colossus. It's like he was saying "Psylocke still has telekinesis damnit!"

True. In a comic, she'd be like "his...his mind is so...panther like....my telepathy is failing."

Thus far, his best feat is beating up Black Dwarf (one of Thanos' generals who gave the combined forces of Gladiator, Ronan the Accuser, Annihilus, and Super Skrull a breif but brutal fight).

You do realize that even Cable has trouble reading Panther's mind right?

Those fts don't prove Panther would overwhelm someone like Psylock with speed.

I din't say that he would overwhelm her with speed alone. I was saying that a combination of his speed, teleporter, and superior fighting skills would make this fight tough for Psylocke.

Psylocke, 'cos she has boobies. And I believe in boobies.
