But then again, most Japanese protagonists of super robot mecha anime were hotblooded and impulsive.
then you can replace Psylocke with Sunfire, Sunpyre, Naiad, Surge, Tsunami,or Jolt

I don't understand this American-perceived stereotype of the Japanese because most of this superheroes have a lot of similarities,(scientist, use swords, fire powers, or yakuza) but they'll all individuals and their lives aren't ruled by the culture.
