Illyana Rasputin, AKA Magik, is beginning a new arc of her character story, starting in New Mutants #25 on April 27th
My thoughts: I love her. She's genuinely inspiring. She needs a costume update. She deserves love. NOTES before we begin: Apologies in advance for mispronouncing things. I'll be referring to Ms Pryde as Kitty or Kate depending on the era. She is Kate these days, but went by Kitty for the majority of the events we'll be discussing in Magik's history. Speaking of Magik, since this is audio, i'll do m y best to differentiate between Magik the person and magic the craft. CW: kidnapping, childhood trauma, manipulation, sickness and death, etc. IN SHORT: sister of Colossus, she became tied up with the X-Men's troubles from a young age. At 6 years old, she is kidnapped from their care, and while gone only mere moments, spent 7 years in Limbo under the supervision of a demon lord named Belasco. She reappears on earth age 13, mutant powers and magical abilities discovered. Illyana constantly is at war with her demonic side, grown by Belasco during her time in Limbo. When that side fully takes over, she's called Darkchilde. While originally more of an anti-hero type character and often honest villain, she's grown up and learned to accept her dark side as part of her, and has more power and control than ever.
