That was the initial story and likely initial intent. However, about 2-3 years into X-Men v. 2 there was a much more (needless) convoluted story that retconned what actually happened, into more of a body switch with a woman who was Asian. It gave us Revanche (the original Asian woman whose mind was now in Psylocke's British body). There's a good bit more but that's the majority of it. Like I said, pretty needless, I think the original story worked well and while I loved much of the early years of X-Men v2 that was one storyline that, while interesting the first time around, was just unnecessarily confusing. For further reading I would suggest either Marvel's own wiki or wiki in general. It's really too much to type out the whole story.

You know what, I remember that story now and that is where I stopped consistenly reading X-Men when I was a kid. I had no idea what they were talking about and I was just like, "So Psylocke is now a clone? This is dumb, I'm done!"
