Talk:Magik (Illyana Rasputina)

message: There isn't any evidence that Illyana had a crush on Kitty, is there? Any real evidence, that is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.53.77 (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No. There isn't. It's either someone projecting themselves or a wishful fantasy of theirs onto a comic book character. There was very little evidence of Illyana having romantic feelings for anyone at any point in her appearances, even when she temporarily absorbed the powers of the Enchantress during the Asgardian Wars.

replies: text:  For sake of implication, she showed a pretty clear preference for guys over girls in the third New Mutants' annual (when the team was on a beach in Rio and admiring the various half-naked people around them), nor did she seem all that receptive to Gosamyr's power of attraction (circa New Mutants #66-69).  And her relationship with Kitty has always been explicitly explained as a function of the fact that Kitty was the first and only person to really accept her without fear or suspicion after her return from Limbo.  So there's definitely very little to suggest she's either bi or lesbian, and circumstantial evidence to suggest she's straight. 72.68.108.233 (talk) 04:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Extra note - in New Mutants #54, she refers to Thunderbird as a hottie, and in New Mutants #57, she complains that all the boys on the team are either too young and/or already taken, and voices a wish that they would recruit more hot guys. 72.76.170.250 (talk) 20:57, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm not too sure about the mystical armor being able to just appear on anyone who rules Limbo. Belasco never had armor when he ruled Limbo. Thus, how can Doctor Doom seem to know so much about it when it was only a manifestation of Illyana up to that point? I always saw the armor as a mutant manifestation anyway, similar to Illyana's brother's mutation. Artemisboy (talk) 21:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Illyana's armor is NOT a part of her mutant powers. This is clear because the armor HAS been transferred to Kitty numerous times (when Illyana was attacked by the Beyonder in New Mutants #38 the Soul Sword comes to Kitty and Kitty gains the armor as well, in the Excalibur vol. 1 83-85 after Illyana is "dead"). As for Doom's knowledge of Illyana, well Doom has shown a wide knowledge of Limbo and actually tried to seize control of Limbo in Excalibur vol. 1 issues 37-39.

message: OK, first the original wording was a little awkward, so I changed it to make it easier to read. Second, I added the name of the "bloodstone amulet". It was called the Beatrix Medallion. Oh yeah and if you want a reference for the name of the amulet, check out New Mutants vol. 1 issue #36 page 10. It was probably named before that, but it was the easiest comic for me to find at the moment. (76.23.115.72 (talk) 08:44, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: If she first appeared in Giant-Sized X-Men #1 then by what rationale can one say that Chris Claremont created her? MultipleTom (talk) 19:00, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems like we're just taking wild guesses as to who created her, both from the posts above and the fact that the article gives conflicting creator credits, none of them with any source. So I've taken down the creator credits until we get some actual information on the subject.--NukeofEarl (talk) 02:57, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I just did a pass through this section to clean up some grammatical issues. Feels like it could use some work, it reads kind of choppy compared to the bios for other Marvel heroes, like Wolverine's. May just need some sentence restructuring for some parts to better indicate which story arc is being discussed. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the storylines to try and work on it myself.
