My friend and I were talking about how Magik feels like she was MADE to be the protagonist of a hack and slash or action-RPG game. Her origin, the way her sword, magic and armor evolves, her appearance etc. It'd sell HELLA copies, even if you have no idea who she is.
@@keistopherc We still have a few promising Marvel games on the horizon, but I know what you mean. More ambitious projects. I also hope DC follows suit, because I was talking to another friend about how DC is pretty much out of the game Renaissance that they had since Arkham. Still waiting on Wonder Woman... 😔
My son had just asked me about Magik a few days ago, after coming across her character in Marvel Rivals. I told him what I knew, or what I thought I remembered about her, sister of Colossus, Limbo, soulsword etc. But now that Rob dropped this video, I just texted him the link, so I'm really glad this came out today. I could never get him particularly interested in comics as a kid, though I did take him to all the movies, but perhaps the game will finally pique his interest in comics.
Is he old enough to read house and powers of x? Cuz theres gonna be a whole Krakoa season soonish so.... that'd be the one I'd try to get him to actually read hahaha Good luck! Reading is really important regardless of the medium.
@tkm1875 or Curse, or Penance lol. I think we'll get Angel eventually as a healer or sumn but that era has so much potential for some villains or anti heroes too. Moira would be an interesting dps with self rez since that's a mechanic already
@@nailinthefashion I guess I shoulda mentioned his age, but he's an adult, he's 20 years old. I just sent him Rob's Earth X compilationabout a week ago, but he's young, so he has other things on his mind, but he'll probably watch it eventually.
Magik is a slept on Marvel character that totally doesn't depend on her mutant background. She really is a magic character that doesn't interact with any other characters of the magic community. Sadly under used.
I loved that game! Very slept on game. I Played it for over 200hrs, leveled up my characters alot, lol. Magik's backstory was one of the highlights of the game. Also, her voice actress really nailed her personality which has never really been done in media before for the character. Same voice actress in Marvel Rivals too. Magik has had a good few years.
@@tkm1875 I didn't realize she had the same voice actress in both games! I love her in both so I'm *really* interested in checking out this new series.
Yesssss thank you fr Midnight suns made me fucks with those hidden characters they awesome I hope they add blade and the rest in marvel rivals which I can’t wait to play to use magik and everybody else and hope they add spiderverse characters and all midnight suns even ones I don’t know
@@Алексей545-т6бMarvel in their hierarchy classed Phoenix as level 8, Magik as level 6 and Storm as level 5. If you consider Storm as "OP" then Magik is above that.
Finally people are finding out how cool, underrated and powerful Magik is. From defeating Dormammu and ripping the gem out of the Juggernaut, Illyana is a beast. I hope this series also explores her relationships with the other Hell Lords. I remember Hela, Dormy, Mephisto and co, worrying about her when she was brought back. I just find it a bit weird that the x-men have female powerhouses with op forms like Darkchild, Phoenix and Storm's new stuff. Kinda makes it funny seeing them with an entire group of x-men struggling with the typical anti mutant villains they face in their group books.
If i remember right, a large portion of the other helllords concern was mainly out of the Fact Magik has never really been in their realms before, and Hell lords when crossing over different hells, don't really lose power at the same rate they do if they leave to say the main marvel universe. If Illyana is powerful enough to basically dominate a realm like Limbo if she even casually visits it, what says she isn't that powerful in another hell dimension?
@@thefallencog Actually, a weaker Magik (Amanda Sefton) inherited the Soul Sword and punked Mephisto in his own realm during the Magik mini-series where all the lords of the splinter realms battled Archenemy in Limbo after the creature was destryoing neighboring realms like Nightmare and Sutur. Dormammu tried to get Illyana because her out of control powers over Limbo were tearing apart the Dark Dimension.
They will obviously reboot her with a younger actress, i dont know why people think theyre gonna bring back 30 and 40 year olds to play teens and young adults
Depends on Anya, she loves to challenges herself to more new n different projects , that's why she never played the same character If MCU can bring comic illyana character to life like exactly good n complex , I think it's possible Anya might doin it again
I like what the old lady said and that holds true for Magik and Thor. You guys have magic, and yet you fight like you don't. I really hope Thor also starts using his powers more creatively too.
@ She look young now but it would take us at least 3-4 years of Multiverse mess until we get to X Man stuff (Mutant saga) and i doubt we would see Magik in first movie (sadly she is not popular enough. Most likely we would get another annoying Jean Grey). So another at least 1-2 years + if Magik get her place as popular character with many movies\TV series thats mean you need to keep in mind another 10 years. Anna ould be 45+ at this point of time
Dude hope you're getting a lot more views and subscribers since Rivals came out. I've been devouring your content the past week trying to learn more lore. Thanks for all the vids.
Would love a series like this for other less recognized Marvel Rivals. Never tried Magick before this video want to play her now i know more about her.
You killed this. I love how you're able to tell her story without just going chronologically from her introduction in Marvel Comics to present day From The Ashes. Magik is underutilized as an X-Men and magic user. I should note that she is among my favorite X-persons so I am a little biased. Her mutant power alone is pretty OP and best shown off in the Krakoa era. The magic side of Magik is a whole different package. At one point she was even considered as a possible Sorcerer Supreme to replace Dr. Strange when he 'died'. Is she omega, no, or at least not yet. I'm so glad to see her represented in Marvel Rivals before everyone's favorite X-Men like Jean Grey, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Gambit, and Rogue. I hope we see a Magik renaissance especially since she's canon X-Men TAS and X-Men 97. Ideally I want her to go off and do her own thing. Kinda of like how Phoenix is represented now. Better yet, revive the Midnight Sons and pair her with Ghost Rider, Elsa Bloodstone, Blade, etc... also similar to how Phoenix has her own 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and mwah... Chef's kiss. Keep up the great work. You're definitely a staple in my day-to-day RUclips watching routine.
To be honest - it hard to formulate how Omega lvl for teleporters look like. Because Magik can travel through space lvl distances, time and different dimensions + she is able to teleport large objects like SWORD battle space station. Sound like Omega for me
I like this book alot but Magik, Psylocke and The X-23 first issues all feel identical. “Character with trauma trying to protect others from similar trauma.”
@@claudrisner Yeah, I agree. I think all the writers on them are definitely trying and given a few more issues might give us something spectacular. However with female characters In particular, sometimes they might be afraid to stray to far cause they get judged harder but then it leads to everything feeling the same.
i’ve been saying magik would be a perfect character for a solo game. since she isn’t super popular the devs would have more creative freedom similar to how the spider verse were handled. she has so many tools that can translate great into game mechanics similar to the og god of war.
Good shit. Magik is one of My favorites I really wish they re worked her story to get her into Dr strange 3 have her be a training to be sorceress Supreme or something
Magik has been one of my favorite Marvel character ever since her 1st appearance in New Mutants. I even like how she trains with Doctor Strange just to make her even more powerful than what she already is.
Ain’t no way this just got updated And already got Dsmn newr 50 comments but while I’m here I’ll tell you. You got me into comics gang I think it was marvel zombies about 3 years ago never been a fan before then
As a long time fan of this channel I've been waiting for this video for a long time. I've always been a huge fan of magik, prob bc Colossus is one of my favorite X-Men. Nobody ever covers magik tho, you might see a 2 min video on her but that's about it.
Magik has always been possibly my favorite mutant character, yes even tying with Wolverine, and I am now so damn hype knowing she's getting a solo run.
I just started to main her in Rivals (40-50 games over the last weekend or so) after watching JellyPeanut's guide as well as Cozy's guide ft Rymazing so that way I know what I'm doing and boy is it rewarding to finally play a melee character that doesn't feel like a gimmick in a game. Now I'm on the lore side of things having watched MerryMarvelite cover her origin story and some updated works, so this could not have come at a better time.
The anime you’re looking for is Choujin X. Mutant like abilities when mastered can have you morph into half animal or monster forms, some heroes, others not
She's one of my favorite characters in Marvel so of course I love this, please keep on with it Rob. And you're absolutely sure, this absolutely feels like anime, down to the "my grandma had a magical secret and I only found out now before she died and now she entrusted me with our lineage's duty to protect the realm from demons"
so glad you are covering this book. she has been my favorite character for a good bit now, i buy any book i see her on the cover of, just got a cool vintage poster from '86 of her
Illyana's origin is so weirdly wonderful. The Limbo alternates of the X-men, especially Nightcrawler are heartbreaking to see. Magik has loads of potential she and Moonstar have always been my favorites of the New Mutants.
Dude this is so cool magik is very dope and i love her in rivals please make this a continuous series! She fills a niche void in comics thats so interesting
Magik helping people who hate her has always been her thing. That was her entire dynamic with the New Mutants originally, helping and saving them despite the fact that they feared and hated her for being a sorceress the way humans feared them for being mutants.
I learned about Magik in the Avengers vs Xmen when the Phoenix 5 thing happened. Then I had her in the FB Game Marvel Avengers: Alliance. Man that was a fun game.
I love how Rob ends the video saying how, "... Illyana's stories are always fun", w/a visual of a sea of blood with skeletons left askew across the imagery 🤣 Rob I get it. Wonky or not, Demonic influenced mutants are always a laugh out loud riot! 🤣 Great work & new energy for your show ideas in 2025! ❤️🔥
In these new X-Men issues in issue 4 it showed the return of a character named Sugar Man. Now I have never heard of this character, but I looked him up and he is a really cool and dangerous character, with his powers and his Intelligence, probably up there with Mr. Sinister or even second to Mr. Sinister. Comics Explained could you please do a character analysis and explanation of Sugar Man and his history and his powers? Please?
Rob! I just found out that there’s a Planet Red Hulk. I would love to see you cover that. Not enough good red hulk stories out there. But I’ll be buying this one
Liminal is an adjective used to describe things that exist at the threshold between one state or condition and another. It refers to states, times, or spaces that exist at a point of change, such as the liminal zone between sleep and wakefulness1. The word comes from Latin "limen," meaning "threshold".... read into that what you will
-magik/dark child sounds is more like bleach/naruto where they tap into the other power but not nessisarily turning into a different personality. But can be like the fox demon -thats more like a sigil, a pentagram is a specific shape. - is demon slayer the only anime rob watches? He references it so much
That's perfect actually. Cuz she has her own soul energy she taps into but then demon magick to compliment it. Its almost like a blend of natural Chakra and a tailed beast. She even gains a tail when transforming lol
Professor X says he respects her privacy only because he can't read her mind. Classic Charles! I hope Magik and Scarlet Witch have a cross-over, and a crossover with Hellverine is the most obvious thing that has to happen since they have the same mission.
I adore the character Magik! Illyana and her journey is amazing. Although, I think I need to correct you, Rob. Illyana/Belasco's bloodstones aren't the same as what you're thinking of. What you're talking about is the Bloodstone family and that history. The confusing thing is that their crystal is called the BLOODGEM. Illyana's bloodgems are basically forced Horcruxes where the soul shard has been condensed into a crystal made of quasi-blood ("spiritual blood").
My friend and I were talking about how Magik feels like she was MADE to be the protagonist of a hack and slash or action-RPG game. Her origin, the way her sword, magic and armor evolves, her appearance etc. It'd sell HELLA copies, even if you have no idea who she is.
Yeah I agree. It would definitely be a good idea for a game. I'd play it.
I hope rivals inspired marvel to invest more into videogames. I feel like that's a good way to get people really into comics.
I have no idea who she is and she’s my rivals main

She was the best part of that New Mutants movie.
My fave variant by far. I hope they go with the same actress as an older variant later maybe in Doomsday or something
anya taylor joy was perfect casting for her
Honestly, she saved that movie for me.
@@nailinthefashion Well, probably to late for this. Magik is portret as either 15-16 years old teenage girl or as 21-23 years old young woman
movie was an underrated masterpiece
Magik is a slept on Marvel character that totally doesn't depend on her mutant background. She really is a magic character that doesn't interact with any other characters of the magic community. Sadly under used.
Because the rest of the magic users are scared of her. Remember, her soul sword destroys enchantments that they all rely on
She hangs with doctor strange alot if tht counts for something
I loved Magik in the Midknight Suns game! Getting to visit limbo and play as her was one hell of an experience.

She’s been OP for decades. I’m glad they seemed to have quit nerfing her in later years.
OP is Jean Grey or Storm kind of thing. Magik was OK in terms of balance
X men characters are strong as the plot needs them to be that why hope summers the mutant messiah is never around when shit happens

Yup pretty accurate man picks the hardest lines to read every time

Good to see marvel embracing more anime villains and art styles. That eye drag blur thing when you move. That goth lolita victim of the demon gunner.
As someone who read New Mutants tor years, it's been great seeing Illyana actually having a place in things.
I just started to main her in Rivals (40-50 games over the last weekend or so) after watching JellyPeanut's guide as well as Cozy's guide ft Rymazing so that way I know what I'm doing and boy is it rewarding to finally play a melee character that doesn't feel like a gimmick in a game. Now I'm on the lore side of things having watched MerryMarvelite cover her origin story and some updated works, so this could not have come at a better time.
I like the Crow Demon guy his design is like Demon Slayer if they were Cowboys
The anime you’re looking for is Choujin X. Mutant like abilities when mastered can have you morph into half animal or monster forms, some heroes, others not
She's one of my favorite characters in Marvel so of course I love this, please keep on with it Rob.
And you're absolutely sure, this absolutely feels like anime, down to the "my grandma had a magical secret and I only found out now before she died and now she entrusted me with our lineage's duty to protect the realm from demons"
This was great! I hope you keep going with it
I'm digging it. Her story is very intriguing and it's cool to see her being fleshed out beyond the X-Men similar to Storm and Jean(Phoenix)
so glad you are covering this book. she has been my favorite character for a good bit now, i buy any book i see her on the cover of, just got a cool vintage poster from '86 of her
Illyana's origin is so weirdly wonderful. The Limbo alternates of the X-men, especially Nightcrawler are heartbreaking to see.
Magik has loads of potential she and Moonstar have always been my favorites of the New Mutants.
I LOVE MAGICK!!!!! One of my favorite marvel characters.
Rob. We need a video on all of these dimensions, because they're so big they've become their own characters. Or is there a video already?
Lol, no pun intended, no pun was even spoken 🤣. You crazy Rob.
I still can’t forget her in X of Swords where she had an idiot moment.
I LOVE MAGIK!! Please cover more of her! I have been a follower at least 10yrs. Loved this!
Something about the X men that keeps me coming back!!
I've always loved the character but I barely see anything about herm I'd love for you to continue the story man !
Shes such a cool character with so much story potential. And she also dunks on Iron Fist so bonus points.
Covering good powerful mutants that also just so happen to be in the most popular new team shooter that's as big as Overwatch was.
I see you, Rob 🔥🔥

Oh hell yeah. More of this run please.
Not going to lie, I did not know Magik was such an interesting character. Would love some more stories covered on her.
Rob, you gotta do a deep dive into Savage Avengers because Magik is in that too and I think the team they created for that is super interesting
Magik is my fav on Rivals, so i picked up this issue and enjoyed it.
All I hear is "BEHOLD!!! STEP CHILD!!!!!!!!"
Ive realized the Xmen as a whole.....is sooooooo unrecognizable now.
The Darkchild reminds me of Nacht from Black Clover!

-magik/dark child sounds is more like bleach/naruto where they tap into the other power but not nessisarily turning into a different personality. But can be like the fox demon
-thats more like a sigil, a pentagram is a specific shape.
- is demon slayer the only anime rob watches? He references it so much
That's perfect actually. Cuz she has her own soul energy she taps into but then demon magick to compliment it. Its almost like a blend of natural Chakra and a tailed beast. She even gains a tail when transforming lol
Magik predates those series, lol.
And I don't blame Rob for only watching Demon Slayer. Naruto is exhaustingly long and boring. Bleach is cool though.
@tkm1875 wasnt saying magik is based on those animes.. they just make a better comparison than the hulk to me. They line up better.
@nailinthefashion i dont know too much about the character outside of an occasional video by rob so that's hilarious how well that lines up lmfao.
@FFmaxxx that's crazy hahaha. You should read the more recent new mutants runs! She has some fun scenes
"Wolverine has his whole history, you guys don't need me to get into that"
Maybe, but I'd watch that video anyway
Keep this story coming please
Darkchylde was a comic i read in early 2000s by Image Comics, i get a very similar vibe from this
Professor X says he respects her privacy only because he can't read her mind. Classic Charles! I hope Magik and Scarlet Witch have a cross-over, and a crossover with Hellverine is the most obvious thing that has to happen since they have the same mission.
I adore the character Magik! Illyana and her journey is amazing. Although, I think I need to correct you, Rob. Illyana/Belasco's bloodstones aren't the same as what you're thinking of. What you're talking about is the Bloodstone family and that history. The confusing thing is that their crystal is called the BLOODGEM. Illyana's bloodgems are basically forced Horcruxes where the soul shard has been condensed into a crystal made of quasi-blood ("spiritual blood").
I love the direction they goin can you do more
I remembering growing up and Colossus was always like I need to save my sister! Man she don't need no saving.
Big brother responsibilities, lol.
Well, he is responsible for her + he feel guilt about her death
Illyana is one of my favorite marvel characters of all-time
I honestly could see a solo game with her and Colossus. Maybe her and Ghost Rider team up. Like imagine the combo attacks.
