Illyana "Magik" Rasputin Appreciation

[NielsVanEekelen]

AvX issues we know have Illyana in them so far, either because they're out or from previews:

Avengers Vs. X-Men #2
Uncanny X-Men vol.2 #11 (Voice only)
Avengers Vs. X-Men #3
Wolverine and the X-Men #10
Wolverine and the X-Men #11
AvX Versus #3

Kind of ironic that the issue of Uncanny is the one where only her voice is in it. (And yes, she'll be in further Uncannies, but we don't know 100% she'll be in them all.)

Admit it, was anyone else upset when they saw Strange carrying a passed out Illyana in AvX3? It pissed me off at first till we saw the twist 2 pages later

I wasn't that bothered to be honest. Even if she lost, I'd still like her.

Of course Id still like her (thats not changing). But I was worried this event would be used to troll the X-men to the Avengers and I thought it happened here. I was very relieve to see them not go the obvious route and had her emerge the victor

Ooooh Kitty and Illyana stare down.

[Havok83]

Ooooh Kitty and Illyana stare down.

Thanks. I hope they exchange words and it isnt simply about Kitty b-tching her out again.

Cyclops and company are eventually allowed entry, thanks to Rachel and company insisting.
Illyana follows toward Kitty.
Kitty: Magik.
Yana: Kitty.
Kitty: How is Peter?
Yana: He forgives you.
Kitty: ....?
Yana: And so do I.
Illyana walks past a dumbfounded Kitty, into the Institute.

I want to see how the fight went down between she and Dr. Strange. Hopefully Uncanny or a future issue of Vs. will tackle this!

I'd like to say she did the same thing to Stephan Strange like she did to the Dire Wraiths from UXN #9 (2nd ser.). At least the good thing is she didn't hurt him but instead put like some sort of sleeping spell on him.

It's a shame Magik and Dr. Strange had to be embroiled in this awful comicbook event as enemies. I'd rather see them teaming up for a magical story.

That is a gorgeous image from Wolverine and the X-Men! Awesome depiction of her disc.

Yana must have cheated to beat Dr. Strange!! There is no way she could have beaten Strange in a fair fight on Earth

If you like to put it that way. In Limbo, even if she no longer rules that dimension, she's still mistress of all mystical rules in there. I agree she wouldn't be a match against him if they both fought on earth.

they fought in Limbo where she has the advantage. I dont read the Avengers title but Ive been told he isnt written as powerful as he used to be

Her "sleeping spell" was the hilt of her soulsword against his wrinkled forehead. BAM!

Or...something like this

The difference with Cara is that she can't do creepy and mentally disturbed.

[sunofdarkchild]

Strange was pretty much uninjured, right?

If he put up a real fight I'd imgaine Illyana would have been forced to hurt him pretty badly, but that doesn't seem to have happened. Illyana wouldn't hesitate if it came down to it. So I'm going with it being one heck of a curbstomp.

Its very clear that you have a very VERY different view of Illyana than the rest of the planet.
What is it like in your world? Does Emma still wear lingerie?
