Right; that does ring a bell! I searched through our old episode stuff, and... maybe it was this time, from X-Men Annual #11? Or maybe another! https://www.xplainthexmen.com/tag/horde/#jp-carousel-5276 -M

2025-07-10 11:16:11 +0000 UTCI want to say that there was one panel in Uncanny X-Men comic where Psylocke, in her original body, briefly takes on a metallic form. That was really cool looking. I think it all took place on the astral plane because she didn't want to feel emotions?
