REDESIGNING MAGIK

Welcome to Limbo! Our group chose Illyana Rasputina, the marvelous Magik for this round! Introduced as the younger sister of Colossus, Magik joined the 80s New Mutants team as a young teen and has since flourished into an A-Lister in her own right. She's been a member of the Phoenix Five, Cyclops' renegade X-Men squad, the Krakoan New Mutants, and the 2022 X-Men team.

She has several inspiration points for artists and redesigners to pull from. She's most well-known for her all-black 2012 look but has also sported demonic and fantasy influences as someone connected to the hellish Limbo and her malevolent alter ego, the Darkchylde.

See what our enthusiastic and talented team of artists did this round, and make sure to follow them on social media for more fantastic art!

(The handles presented after artists names are their Twitter handles, but many use the same name on other platforms!)

Léa Dupic | @/kimodraw

"I went full speed ahead into medieval land and dressed Illyana in a full metal shiny armour, putting emphasis on her sword bearing arm with a biiiig spiky shoulder pad. Gave her a punk lesbian haircut while keeping her iconic bangs, because I think she should be allowed to be more of a punk lesbian. And I couldn't resist adding a touch of demon form with the horns. She's gloomy she's menacing she's spiky and shiny she's the girl of my dreams."

Giovanni Saroldi | @/RaulGiova

"Just like matter, let’s give ‘Yana three states! Solid, liquid, gas? Kinda, not quite! From angelic to demonic, with her main form being the in-between totality of herself, where she can draw whichever power she needs.

It’s geometric, it’s chic, it’s retro-futuristic Terry Moore with the Horns of Galaxy The Prettiest Star meets Ludmilla from Bartok mid-transformation."

John Caden | @/johncaden64

"I've always felt the Bachalo design was great, but could get very male-gazey. I tried to make it more comfortable, while also keeping the same goth feel. I do feel she needs to just go all-in goth, so let's shave her head, get some thick black mascara and commit to the bit! "

John Marsh | @/pastelrake

"What if Illyana had been a Russian figure skater?"

Joe Pryde | @/joeprydecosplay

"My inspiration for this design came from the idea of “what if Magik was an elder emo” complete with Kristen Stewart fem mullet, high waist buckled tights, and sleeveless crop top hoodie. I also wanted to pay homage to previous designs."

Haydn | @/ThatsSoHaydn

"I had but one simple thought: What if the Soul Sword was a rapier? And thus fencing Magik was born. I wanted the geometric shapes of the dark bodysuit to contrast with the curves of the golden armor, whilst still adding a little magic and mystery with her cloak and mask. "

Dale Yaddow | @/DaleYaddow

Version 1 "The Savage Magik". Having been stripped of her magical knowledge, Illyana Rasputin hunts down various enchanted artifacts to replace what she's lost. Becoming desperate she seems to be willing to steal and sometimes kill to get these talismans. Among these are the Soul Dagger of Pixie, the medallion of Daimon Hellstrom, Holy bands from "Heven" and a cursed skull from an alternate version of Lockheed.

Version 2 "Mistress Magik" This is an older more seductive Magik that's been corrupted by the influence of Selene and embraced her sensuality, opening up a whole new avenue of mystical arts that she hadn't dared explore before. She now uses her SoulSword to capture the essences of her foes and much like Selene feeds on them keeping her young and vital.

Version 3 "Magik, Queen of Hell" Many questioned the logic of Magik giving Limbo to Madelyne Prior but the end game has been revealed. Illyana allowed Madelyne to tether her magic to Limbo, knowing eventually "Maddie" would get greedy and begin bringing more power to that dimension. With a carefully hidden clause in the Limbo transference spell Magik takes back Limbo and all the power within it and successfully overthrows all the Hell Lords, unifying the many dreaded dimensions under one fearsome rule, hers.

Anthony Ruiz | @/thwwipstickers

"Almost as soon as Magik was decided on for this design challenges I had two ideas strike me simultaneously ... The first of those ideas was the image of Illyana as a 90's Riot(ish) on the cover of a Magazine. I wanted to give her an edgy grungy vibe but still pay homage to her Demonic nature.

Shortly after Finishing my first Design I just knew I had to make my second idea come to life.

What if Illyana was an Anime Mech Pilot and Wore a Plugsuit... thats it... thats the idea. I really wanted to strike the Balance between Anime Plugsuit but still being noticeably Magik and X-men.

I kept the Bright yellow Color scheme with hints of black and red and chose to interpret her Armored arm into a Mechanized oversize cybernetic arm that helps fuel her Plasma Powered Soul sword that springs forth from her Gauntlet."

Isaiah Cox | @/isaiahbeenlost

"When designing my Magik look, I wanted to expand on ideas I had when drawing her a couple years ago by keeping her look sleek, yet scary stylish! So, I referenced a lot of Castlevania and Yoshiaki Kawajiri designs to get that cool anime look for her down! I plucked some fashion inspirations for the costume from places like: Mugler, Alexander McQueen, LaQuan Smith, JRPG rogues and medieval accessories! And for her new soul sword, I decided to give her an Odachi because since she already lived her Cloud Strife fantasy starting from the Bendis-era, I thought it was time for her to live her Sephiroth moment with this giant Japanese sword!"

David J Hughes | @/0ddeity

"I think with Magik I started out pretty traditional for her. Then I got to thinking our Russian Queen deserves a Mugler-esque fit. I wanted to go down the knight or warrior route, but then I thought ‘What If’ this was an AU Illyana raised by Patch and she got all of Logan’s training rather than Kitty and Jubilee, or, alongside them. So, bham, Oni-demon menpo mask and samurai elements on top of the Mugler flair."

Fleshmonk | @/fleshmonk

"Went through a bunch of design iterations, but settled on this cool plasticky vinyl plugsuit like version of Magik. I gave her a bob to mature her a bit and to move her towards a new silhouette."

Joshua Bruckner | @/joshingtonbear

"I took a bit from Magik's more armored designs, which I've always liked the most, and her goth jock aesthetic, and blended them. I rejected the Bachalo booty shorts in favor of a skirt, which gives her a bit of a 'cheerleader from hell' look."

Seye Sanyaolu | @/seye_art

"My intention for this redesign was Magik in a very dystopian future and so I imagined a 3/4 darkchylde Illyana that is in control of her self and powers (although almost lost it). In this future, most of the X-Men are gone and Illyana keeps a worn and frayed X-jacket on for the nostalgia :’)"

Look everybody is entitled to their own headcanons and interpretations of characters, but sometimes there will be female characters who will constantly express nothing but contempt and disgust for men and will have fucked up toxic codependent relationships with their girl best friends and seeing fans label these characters as other things that aren't Lesbian can get kind of annoying over time. Like c'mon y'all we're all seeing the same thing here

X-Men '97's less then a week out, so it's time for my final most-wanted character list...

This isn't including anyone who was in the original series, even if they were just a cameo there (though I'd love to see more of Rachel Summers and Xuân Cao Mạnh), and it's ignoring people already confirmed to be cameoing in some form (Illyana Rasputina and Sooraya Qadir would have been on here otherwise)...

I feel like it's weird to do the Headmaster Magneto era without the New Mutants in general, but Dani's the one New Mutant who missed out on the original show. Similarly, leaving Pryde out at this point would just feel weird to me - I know Pryde of the X-Men flopped, but it's been decades and she's an essential character to the era this cartoon draws inspiration from...

The other four (+ Jeff) are all modern characters I'd just like to see cameo somewhere. I think Gwen cameoing would be especially funny as it'd allow Disney to expand from background gays to background aromantic asexuals...

A while back I commissioned some art from @cadhla182 and it came out very well! The idea was that Nico and Laura had infiltrated an underground fighting ring before teaming up to take it down. A comment on the post of this on twitter about how mismatched the fight would be got me thinking... and thinking... And I overthought it.

I ended up working out an entire powers-free MMA AU for the women of the Marvel Universe, complete with taking into account first appearances 'prime fighting' ages, and the like. I've got SPREADSHEETS for this thing. So, it turned out Nico and Laura are in different weight divisions. Nico's a Strawweight. Laura Kinney ended up in Flyweight. So, I got to thinking -- who should Nico and Laura be matched against? I managed to work out a list of top contenders in the various weight classes. Some would utterly trounce Nico even in an MMA AU, but others might be better matches. I can't decide myself, who do you think would be a good match for her? Yes, I plan on commissioning this once the poll is over!

There are others in the division, but what I'm looking for is someone on her level, not someone who would overwhelm her. Specifically, Kate Pryde, Jeanet Foucault, Nadia Van Dyne, and Daisy Johnson round out the "Top 16" in that division. "But what about--" Probably not in that division, or you're thinking of a very obscure character, "What about Janet Van Dyne?!" Retired Champion, currently mentoring Nadia, but might be coaxed out of retirement for one more match... If I can ever really round down a Top 8 from this list! (What about Laura and her opponent? Well, that I've narrowed down to 4: Kate Bishop, Illyana Rasputina, Mantis, and Squirrel Girl -- but that's hopefully going to be easier to figure out...)

Okay, so as mentioned yesterday, I'm abandoning Marvel forever unless they announce another set of rewrites complying with BDS's demands. And I'm not gonna change my mind on that, but I am going to very much miss some of their heroes whom I fell in love with.

But, since the big two companies are famous for stealing from each other, I thought I'd ask if anyone has character recommendations for DC or indie comics that give off similar vibes as:

Lunella Lafayette/Moon Girl

Dani Moonstar/Mirage

Illyana Rasputina/Magik

Cindy Moon/Silk

Magneto, specifically during his headmaster era as that's most of what I read of him, but any era works

Anyone with decent disabled rep, since that's what I always loved most about Daredevil

Marvel’s Midnight Suns “A New Sun Must Rise - Prequel Shorts” (2022)

In my opinion, this is the best animated work featuring Magik / Illyana Rasputina since the character’s creation.

Why Magik?

Of all of the characters to pair with Kate Pryde, why did I go with Magik? That’s a great question. Shadow and Flame was such a great miniseries, perfectly drawn by Paul Smith. The title has a fun, if you know you know, element – before that was a thing. Illyana Rasputina, Magik, has some competition with who is Kate Pryde’s best friend. The only real competition is Rachel Summers, but Kurt…

top five comic book characters who would be canonically queer if marvel wasn't run by cowards

but the list is endless! endless i say!! okay here we go.

5. kate bishop. that girl is not straight! america chavez was her bi awakening and i refuse to believe otherwise.

4. gambit. actually he's already bi he just forgot to tell marvel that he's out. he's very devoted to rogue right now but has 100% dated other x-men like bishop in the past.

3. illyana rasputina. she is LESBIAN and she is in love with kitty pryde and i will take no other interpretation of this character! i believe it firmly!

2. rahne sinclair. her mutation and her experience with it is literally a metaphor for growing up gay in a homophobic environment. i don't know what else to tell you, her character simply doesn't make sense if she isn't a lesbian.

1.magneto. he's been married and divorced from professor x more times than either of them can count. that's just the facts. also, i'm not up to date on x-men red but he's definitely having a rebound with the fisher king last i checked.
