I read that Carey confirmed Psylocke was in the Age of X.  I thought that she was supposed to be immune to any sort of reality manipulation via her brother, Jamie Braddock.  Or did she lose this after the body switch back-and-forth?  Anyone have any clarification?

This was apprently undone when she was in Exiles.  Or maybe when Spiral di yet another body swap.

I think it happened when the Sisterhood brought her back. There was nothing in her Exiles run that suggested she lost it.
I've got a theory, It could be Bunnies - Anya (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

It's been somewhat unclear since her return. Carey wrote Psylocke as susceptible to reality warping when she faced off against Proteus during Necrosha. I think it is worth noting that even Claremont, who developed the idea that Betsy would be immune from reality warps, mind control, and possession applied these rules inconsistently.

Edit: But in general I think the Sisterhood arc is a good 'line' to be drawn in the sand, although it doesn't address it textually either.

In other words, she's immune to reality manipulation but not reality manipulation.

Well given that was all done by Jamie to protect her from that big evil who may or may not be Lucifer in the Foursaken arc, isn't it possible that after that battle and Jamie being left behind to use all his power to hold Big Baddy at bay that she lost the powers then?

The whole Batman idea is a very childish response to childhood trauma.

That does seem possible.  It was never made clear how permanent it was supposed to be.  Maybe it was going to wear off anyways?

Maybe it's like Roma giving the X-Men invisibility to cameras: he just got busy and forgot about it.

I was just going to use the Roma/Siege Perilous analogy as a precedent.

After going through the SP, they lost their technological "invisibility" so I'm going to guess the same thing happened to Psylocke again after the latest body swaps during Sisterhood.

It would make sense. I don't know if Jamie brought her back in her corpse and rewired it or if he just created a new body from scratch for her. Either way, she's no longer in that body now right?
