Bewilder - Blue 10 AP Psylocke steadies and channels her telepathic power, reaching into the minds of the enemy to disrupt their attack. Converts a basic Blue tile to a 3 turn Countdown tile that steals up to 9AP from the enemie's largest color pool. Doesn't it do that?

For 28 AP, Patch will show you 2 dead guys in PvP and even in PvE, most level 230 guys will go down to two of his reds. Sure you'd have about 300 damage worth of strike tiles on your side but that's actually not that significant against level 230 guys, not to mention Patch can show you how to get big strike tiles too for considerably cheaper. If you go 5r you got to pair her up with someone else who can generate red strike tiles, which is either Daken or Wolverine 2*. That might be good for some PvE event where one of those two characters are buffed, but it's going to be problematic in PvP. That said she's still hard to figure out a good build, because 4 in red is probably ideal, but then you end up with most likely 4/4/5 which doesn't make much sense either (the 4th point in Bewilderment is basically useless), but 5/3/5 barely makes more sense.

His restriction is that he's highly reliant on Spider-Man, and it's not clear how much longer that will last. That said, the damage from 2 activations of her red vs 1 activation of Patch's red is pretty comparable, evening out after ~16 total triggers of the strike tiles. If you pair it with her black, you'll get 16 triggers pretty quickly, and you'll be stacking damage a lot faster than Patch can, since he requires some setup with his red ability costing more and his green ability requiring some kind of planning.
