Summary
This excellent cosplay pays tributetoMagik, the blade-wielding mutant sorceress and an all-around entertaining character that appeals to a broad range of comic book fans. Since Illyana’s tragic introduction as a mutant inUncanny X-Men#160 – by Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson – Magik has literally grown up into one of the X-Men’s most popular and influential characters.
Cosplayer Grace Marie (@sulkysiren) – in collaboration with photographer Kirk Nelson (@the.pixelpro) and Pat Loika (@patloikaphotoworks) – offered followers a stunning take on Magik’s nihilistic yet confident charisma, pictured here armed with a soul-forged sword and the mutant power to open portals, surrounded by flames.
As Magik, Grace Marieserves up a powerful representation of the Darkchild as if she were pulled straight from a comic’s cover, leaving social media followers blown away at how cleanly the trio of talents were able to bring the character to life.

The specific look the cosplayer executes with precision is a version of Magik’s costume that she adopted after the horrific events ofAvengers vs. X-Men.
Magik has collected more than a couple of titlesthroughout her accomplished comic career, but they all stem from her worst memories and greatest fear. After she was kidnapped and held hostage for a decade in the time-altering demonic dimension known as Limbo, Illyana returned to Earth only moments after her kidnapping, now ten years older and burdened with unspeakable trauma. Forged from the pain of her past, Magik has pursued every avenue possible to regain a sense of confidence and self-control.
Cosplayer Grace Marie draws in every ounce of angst in their soul and serves it out from behind a chilling gaze of dominant confidencethat the Soviet Sorcerer is known for.The specific look the cosplayer executeswith precision is a version of Magik’s costume that she adopted after the horrific events ofAvengers vs. X-Men.By this point, Magik was sick of being taken advantage of and craved any semblance of self-confidence. Clad in skin-tight black leather gear and armed with a new hulkingversion of her sword, this model mutant could easily summon hell on all her foes.
Currently in the comics, Illiyana still maintains her iconic look, but has lost everything else once again.
Magik Will Play A Central Role In The Latest Incarnation Of X-Men
Expect More Cosplays, As The Character’s Popularity Endures
Currently in the comics, Illiyana still maintains her iconic look, but has lost everything else once again. Following the very controversialFall of Xsaga,the mutant nation of Krakoa is gone and the X-Men no longer have a home.Magik, alongside Cyclops, Psylocke, and some unsuspected allies, are now holed up in Alaskaand back to the basics. With Magik and her fellow X-Men taking center stage in Jed Mackay and Ryan Stegman’s brand-newX-Menseries, fans should expect manymore Omega-level cosplaysof the character to come.
