Illyana "Magik" Rasputin Appreciation

[Selphy]

Good find. That's a great book to get to know who Magik is as a whole.
(I like your figurines from the background image by the way. I've seen them before but have forgotten what line is it from)

Those are Touhou characters but I actually made them myself, or rather customized them from other figures but thanks!

Illyana rejected Quire's offer. I mean, "ripping him apart like a bear does to a baby goat" is a sure sign she doesn't want him.

Its arguable that what we saw was tantamount to an acceptance in Quentin's mind.

He probably did see it as foreplay. I hope we get to see him pursue her in the future. I think they could be fun if given the chance

I'm all for Quire making a fool of himself, but not for any actual relationship.

I suspect Quire would enjoy duelling with another strong personality far more than having a girlfriend, anyway. Heck, Illyana might find some friendly hostility entertaining herself.

Lol I love it. She could be like a cat toying with a mouse. Batting him between her paws until she bores of him, rips his head off and nonchalantly stalks away.

Does anyone here have a scan of Magik teleporting a limb off Magus in New Mutants 50? As well as Sym tanking a blast by Binary?( I think it happned in the same issue) As a new Magik fan I am tried of other people underrating her power. From i have seen and read she could potentially be one of the most powerful x-men of all time.

The list of "feats" for Illyana is growing.

Defeated Belasco, one of those enemies capable of taking on the whole X-Men and winning, by herself.
Destroyed the Demon Bear.
Outsmarted the Shadow King, leading to his defeat.
Defeated the Enchantress.
Took on Thor, Cap, and Black Knight at once and had the upper hand.
Stole Cap's shield.
Scared Legion into submission........twice.
Ended the invasion part of Inferno.
Killed Belasco.
Brought about the destruction of the Elder Gods.
What happened yesterday, which will likely be the most remembered on this list.
Now going toe to toe with Black Widow, one of the MU's best hand to hand fighters.

There's also the fact that she managed to intimidate Empath as well as she used to. Immunity to psionics aside, it's notable since Empath has single-handedly either held his own against, or manipulated whole teams of heroes. Magik makes the bastard practically wet himself.

Well, S'ym tanking Binary's attack has to do with him having the ability to absorb energy at that point. Warlock could do the same thing.

That said, before gaining TO vrus powers S'ym was much stronger than Colossus and could even break Wolverine's adamantium bones. He tanked the best Cannonball, Sunspot, and Magma could throw at him. That little blast Illyana used when she woke up in New Mutants 14 had more punch than Cannonball or Sunspot could muster with their full powers.

Lemme see if I can dig it up. But, yes, Magik is not only crazy powerful, but she's crazy versatile. Between the sorcery, the soulsword, and her teleportation (which can span distances as well as time)...geez, it's almost not fair for everyone else.

EDIT: Found the Magik shot, but not the Binary/Sym one. Aaaand I can't seem to work the stupid add image loader here so... Magik owning here.

Thank you!!! Now maybe my friends will shut up about calling her Nightcrawler with a sword outside Limbo. Her magical powers seem to getting more powerful outside Limbo as well....I loved that iceman scene (pretty hard to make bobby feel pain) and the way she owned Rockslide, Pixie and Mercury.

(raises eyebrow) Nightcrawler with a sword? Sacrilege!!! Magik is a one-of-a-kind character of Marvel. She's like the Dark Phoenix Jean Grey in terms of dark side but better!

[sunofdarkchild]

Nightcrawler also teleported part of Magus away when the X-Men fought him. If you want to differentiate between them show Illyana redirecting bullets or teleporting 6 people to six different locations at once..

Has Mike Carey never written Illyana? This seems utterly wrong to me. Yet I'm looking for a comic to have him sign, and I'm drawing a blank.
