Biography

Illyana Rasputina is a mutant sorceress linked to the demonic realm of Limbo,[19] known in Earth's super hero community as Magik.[2] As the younger sister of Colossus,[20] she was tragically abducted to Limbo by the malignant Belasco when she was under the X-Men's custody.[21] In the few seconds that passed on Earth, Rasputin aged years in Limbo, a process which caused her to master different dark arts. Following the manifestation of her mutant teleporting abilities, she was able to return to the X-Men[19] and ultimately joined Professor Xavier's younger protégés, the New Mutants.[22] Alongside the New Mutants, Magik experienced unimaginable adventures and difficult moments, with her usually mischievous attitude constantly masking a deeply traumatized and lonely soul.[23] Her tenure was cut short when she sacrificed herself to prevent Limbo from corrupting Earth. Having reborn as the child she was before being kidnapped, Rasputin recovered her innocence.[24] Tragically, she was infected by the deadly Legacy Virus[25] and passed away soon later.[14] Belasco's machinations revived Rasputin without a soul.[26] Taking control over Limbo,[27] she obsessively manipulated her former allies in the New Mutants to recover her lost soul.[28] This ordeal reapproximated her to the X-Men and she eventually joined their ranks as a relevant agent.[29] Concurrently, Magik also became closer to the magic superheroic community after being mentored by Doctor Strange.[30][31] More recently, Magik has found a passion for teaching, having been appointed one of the Great Captains of Krakoa, where she was in charge of training and leading mutants to battle.[32][33][34] In addition to that, she also teaches magic at Strange Academy.[35]
