I don't think Beast would be too proud to be Guest of Honour at a furry convention. He loves the limelight.

Actually a storyline where he does this and accidentally brings the Purifiers down on a convention hall full of nerds in fursuits and Iceman, who's there because he's bored, then must marshall his ragtag band of horny dweebs to defend the hotel function room from anti-mutant zealots would probably own.

It might just be because my introduction to Magik was the ludicrousness of her punking out Doctor Strange in Avengers vs X-Men, but nothing about the character has ever worked for me. Dumb head-dealies included.

Do you think Iceman teaches basic accountancy at the school. Has Iceman ever inspired a student to become a CPA? When we return to the school status quo I want to see that story.

I guess you could ask a Magik cosplayer how they do the head things and then just assume that Illyana does the same thing. I also always thought it was a headband.

Magik turns into a literal demon with horns the more she uses her powers, right? Her accessories are just pre-horns.

It happens when she uses magic, and I think only "dark magic," or something like that. She has separate teleportation and time travel powers that are her mutant powers.

To be fair, he's got more than one cat-themed villain, even more so when the rest of the DC universe gets involved, so knowing which one it is just from the cats involved is quite impressive.

I didn’t “get” Magik until the recent Krakoa stuff, but I’m glad I finally came around, because she rules hard. Her initial mini series by Claremont was a pretty good young adult story too.

Magik is, in fact, very cool and has had a number of good storylines. This is a good opinion.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
Magik strikes me as the sort of character who's very good for stories that she doesn't always get. Krakoa suits her a lot more than standard X-Men stuff.

She might be kind of done a disservice by existing in the orbit of the X-Men, rather than, say, Doctor Strange's.

At one point Magik wagered the souls of everyone on Earth to pit the X-Men against the Elder Gods of Limbo for a personal vendetta. Cyclops found out and called her on her bullshit, but she was like "you're always a dickhead, and I'm way stronger, so like, yeah, I feel bad for manipulating my friends and doing Big Evil, but worth" and then she just walked away with no repercussions.

Magik owns. And Cyclops is a dickhead.

On the other hand, the New Mutants are my favourite comic team and don't get to show up enough, so I think any time Ilyanna isn't on panel the other characters should all be asking "Where's Magik?"

I wouldn't say there were no repurcussions, she spent the next few years in Mutant Maximum Security until the Phoenix Five stuff happened.

That is exactly the kind of thing that makes me not want the character to be in comics I read.
