Is Psylocke good?
Psylocke does well in a handful of specific matchups: keeping 
Wolverine or 
X-23's Power at 0 cuts their Regeneration and, once her Signature unlocks, lowers their Regen trigger chance too, and the same Power denial keeps 
Captain Marvel from a big Signature bonus and stops 
Magik from ever triggering Limbo. She struggles more broadly, though.
Vision and 
Hyperion can force a Power gain that shuts off her no-Power-gain attacks, 
Civil Warrior's Offensive Ability Accuracy reduction disrupts her ability to strike safely, and 
Spider-Man's Evades reset her Power denial and punish a single missed reaction, which keeps her at C.

Background
Elizabeth “Betsy” Braddock’s telepathic and telekinetic mutant powers were unlocked when she was mind-controlled by Dr.
Synne, and Mastermind. When she was captured by the evil Hand, her soul was forcibly transferred into the body and mind of the deadly ninja warrior, Kwannon.
With Kwannon getting her body and mind back, she operates as Psylocke, willing to utilize her deadly abilities on her own terms and without hesitation when she believes it’s necessary.
