another selling point for sorcerer supreme illyana & her apprentice billy: illy was in limbo during the pop punk renaissance while billy was probably at warp tour
Alternatively, the Bamf doll is a safe object facilitating more diffuse connections. It often symbolizes bonds between female characters that many fans read as queer. The doll passes between Kitty, Illyana, and Jubilee as a memento of each other to hug through lonely nights. 6/10
choosing just 4 is impossible, except for storm and maybe illyana my other faves change depending on my mood 😭 special shout out to: rogue and betsy and kitty and jean and hisako and monet and rachel and dani... https://t.co/63CNtAXJd3
Generation Next #1-4 from 1995.
In the Age of Apocalypse, this newly Magneto-created, Colossus-led X-Men team is on a daring mission to rescue Illyana Rasputin!

Today's #CharacterFocus is Illyana Rasputin, AKA Magik. When she was a little girl she was sucked into Limbo by Belasco and corrupted over years- but she emerged a victorious warrior, dark chylde and master of magics. First App: Giant-Sized X-men #1 (1975) #Comics
10. Kill the Beyonder (Uncanny 202-203) Claremont and JRJR aren't particularly known for "cosmic" but they GO FOR IT here. Kitty uses Illyana's Soul Sword, and Rachel mindlinks with every life form in the entire universe to beat some dude in a tracksuit. Big weird cosmic comics.
We also see Illyana’s anger and loneliness over her brother’s death, establishing all the key motivations that will drive her to create Inferno in the year ahead, whilst amplifying her individual tragedy - the key source of pathos for the New Mutants side of that crossover. 6/8
#XSpoilers I love it when writers remember that Illyana is very funny, a prankster by nature and has a great sense of humor. Kudos to @definitelyvita thank you so much for this amazing issue, can't wait for what you have in store for the New Mutants' future.
Nightcrawler who worries that he’s destined to be a demon; Illyana the same; Havok, destined to become explosive; Sunspot, destined to become a villain; Psylocke destined to lose touch with her humanity; Colossus destined to lose his values and the list goes on. 3/5
@AnneComics @chadanarasputin x men forever illyana and kitty.
#XSpoilers
I really hope they become friends.
Illyana: So, you uh, like to stab things?
Pogg: Stabbing things, Pogg Ur-Pogg likes. Pogg Ur-Pogg also enjoys your hair spikes.
Illyana: Come on, new bestie, let's get drunk and harass Logan.
As we discussed in a previous thread, this is one of the most important symbolic aspects that Illyana speaks to: post-sexual-abuse trauma. And though it stings to see any version of Nightcrawler act this way, it does define and deepen the sense of Illyana’s tragedy. 6/6
