Warning : contains despoiler for Magik # 1What would make a Marvel symbiote even more terrific than they already are?Well , make it demonic ! In many ways , that is the premise of Magik ’s newestX - Menera , as the beloved mutant hero cut into back into the mystical as she is ram to confront her privileged monster . The Darkchylde is number … and it is just as persuasive as Venom at his worst .
Illyana Rasputina ’s Darkchylde contour first fully manifested during the infamousInfernocataclysm in New York City . Since then , the powerful immature sport has been forced to face her trauma head - on , over and over again .
Magik#1 , from writer Ashley Allen and artist Germán Peralta , seesMagik facing off against a deadly new foe , the Crow Demon , whose witching smoke harm Illyana , and make the Darkchylde to start to emerge . In an interview withAIPT , series author Allen says that in many way the Darkchylde image is like a admixture betweena symbiote and the Hulk , where the entity emerges when Magik is in danger , but is close to uncontrollable :
AIPT : X - Fan Lewis was wondering how the fresh loop of Darkchylde will work . Is it more like the Hulk appearing unexpectedly during stressful moments ? Is it like a symbiote taking over her intellect ? Or is it something else ?
Ashley : You ’ll just have to read the series … just kidding , I would n’t do that to you guys ! I think you ’re onto someone comparing it to the Hulk / a symbiote . I would say it ’s a combining of the two . Ultimately , Darkchylde is part of Illyana . It is a response trigger when she is strain or find herself in danger ( like the Hulk appearing ) . However , at this consequence , it is also something that is all - consuming and makes her turn a loss ascendance ( like a symbiote taking over her intellect ) .
Therefore , like most things with Illyana , Darkchylde operates in a muddy terra firma . Previously , Darkchylde has been Illyana ’s darker ego . However , in the end , it is up to Illyana to adjudicate and delimitate what Darkchylde is to her . In the past , that decision has been taken aside from her , but in our first few effect , we alter that .
Ashley Allen , the author of the lately release Magik solo series , confirmed that Demon Slayer was a big inspiration for her work .
Magik’s Dark Persona Is Slowly Taking Over Her Mind
The Darkchylde is manipulating Illyana just like a symbiote
When Illyana was only 6 years old , the fiendish ruler of Limbo Belasco kidnapped her and bring her to his arena , where he slowly tortured and corrupt the young girl , stealing her soul and creating her Darkchylde persona . Magik was able to manifest her Soulsword and escape from Limbo , but ever since then , she has been haunt by her obscure half . Illyana has had " control " over her monstrous Darkchylde persona for long time now , seemingly bear on down by her defeat of her screw Belasco and relinquishing the crown of Limbo , but after the fall of Krakoa her dingy side is emerging again .
The growth that Magik has shown , from being just Colossus ' small sister to becoming Queen of Limbo , proves she has Marvel Comics ' estimable character arc .
When Magik ’s Darkchylde form first began to emerge , it was very much like a symbiote , except instead of spread black sludge across her consistency , she manifest produce eldritch armour , signaling her descent into demonic energy . Just like Ashley Allen says in her interview , the Darkchylde form has often emerge at times of bully emphasis and danger for Illyana , and that remains reliable in her new solo serial publication . Magik#1 sees the Darkchylde speaking in Magik ’s head , either as an auditory hallucination or an actual demonic entity . The dark persona go incredibly similar to early Venom taradiddle , or contemporary Carnage tales , wherethe symbiote whisper odorous nothing into its server ’s ears , control the person from inwardly .
Will Illyana find a way to control the Darkchylde before it consumes her?
Magik has been disconnected from Limbo for some time
Magik has been very focused on her mutant life since the Krakoan Era bulge out , sort herself quite literally from the realm of Limbo by passing the title of ruler along to Madelyne Pryor . Now , Illyana ’s Modern solo serial will see Magik recentering her mystic abilities while away from her Alaskan X - Men team , meaningshe is going to lastly take to present her Darkchylde persona directly . Only metre will separate if the " symbiote " demon will be able to full take over Magik , or if Illyana will be capable to fight off her inner demons .
Magik will always have a deep and traumatic connection to the land of Limbo and the demonic energy it has give her , yet hopefully the iconicX - Menlegend will find a way to get her diabolic symbiote under control , before it tears her apart …
X - Isle of Man has just made the perfect elusive disclosure about [ SPOILERS ] , not only intensify their part , but explain much of their recent history .
Magik#1from Marvel Comics is usable now in stores .
