Now that we're in 2016, plenty are naturally looking back on 2015 and taking stock of the year as a whole. The same goes for "X-Men: Apocalypse" actor Olivia Munn, who posted images related to her top 5 moments of 2015 to Instagram. Munn included playing Psylocke, the purple-haired mutant ninja with mental powers, among her top moments of 2015 and posted a new picture of herself on the set of "X-Men: Apocalypse."

Munn's description of the character is also of note, as she calls Psylocke "a telekinetic telepath who chooses to kill with a sword because she wants to do it up close and intimate because killing from afar just seems too easy and no fun."
