X-Men's Magik Could Face Her Darkest Sin To Defeat The Goblin Queen
As the Sorcerer Supreme of the hellish domain Limbo, the mutant known as Magik is about to embark on a massive battle with her rival the Goblin Queen in New Mutants. The key to maintaining her control over the land may require her to face her darkest sin. Magik, or Illyana Rasputin, the sister of the classic X-Men hero Colossus, has a long and complex connection with the realm of Limbo. In Extraordinary X-Men (2015) she met a young mutant named Sapna with a similar connection who she ended up needing to sacrifice.
Magik has been connected to Limbo since she was a small child and was kidnapped by the demon Belasco. This eventually turned her into a tough, devious warrior who sacrificed part of her own soul to create the Soul Sword, one of the most powerful artifacts in all of Marvel. Illyana is a mutant with the power to control teleportation discs, using Limbo as the domain she traverses through, and is considered one of the most powerful and dangerous of all the X-Men. She has been a major part of the X-Men franchise since the 1989 crossover event Inferno which saw Magik turned into the demonic Darkchylde and Madelyne Pryor, a clone of Jean Grey, transformed into the Goblin Queen, as hell was unleashed on New York City.
