Magik
Character » Magik appears in 3410 issues.
The younger sister of Colossus. Illyana Rasputin is a mutant teleporter, a sorceress, and the ruler of Limbo, who is currently a member of Storm's team of mutants residing in the "Jean Grey Institute for Higher Learning".
Now that Magik has....
Technically, she only has 3 fifths of it back.
When she was 'resurrected' by Belasco, he draw her body from the imprint she made on everything she touched in Limbo (or soemthing to that effect). That was why she didn't have a soul.
The bloodstones were created by extracting parts of her soul, but not her entire soul. Therefore the old pre-Inferno Illyana only had 2/5 of her soul remaining. So she's not a "real girl" now, according to that hideously stupid line that Pixie came out with...
But she is 1/5 'more human' than she used be back in the original New Mutants series.
But then what about the soulsword? It was fashioned from the remains of her good soul as was seen from the Storm and Illyana mini from the 80's and when she reclaimed it, she got back a fragment of her humanity as seen from X-Infernus #2 so the soulsword plus three of her bloodstones, wouldn't that count as being her entire human soul?
I always Magik. She's a badass sorceress, uses the X-Men for her own deeds from time to time, and doesn't seem to care about doing it. But with her soul back, she might tone down on the bitchy-ness but I hope she doesn't become a goody goody. We don't need anymore of those.
Honestly, it's disappointing that she's taunting her brother. Even as a full demon, her greatest shame was to be seen by her brother. Darkchilde was only embarrassed to be a demon instead of a little girl in front of her brother who idolised & protected her. So taunting him? That's just BAD writing.

But Illyana wanted to be Colossus' little snowflake again ever since the ending of Quest for Magik. : ] ANd besides, the badass Illyana isn't the 'real' her. It's just the Illyana being consumed by the corrupting influence Belasco planted inside of her. The 'real' her is fundamentally a good person.I always Magik.

Anti-heroes are becoming overrated now.

That's just BAD writing.Yeah, a few months later, but I have every single "Magik" miniseries book, read every original New Mutants run and basically know her character back and forth. It's WIS to have her taunting Colossus based upon their history.
The more I think about UXN #540 and #542 regarding with Illyana, I come to realize she wasn't taunting him but I get the impression she's more like accepting herself as the monster she was before, something like an extreme version of self-loathing. I'm taking back what I said that she was taunting her own brother. The way she said about Colossus not being like her seems to suggest she feels no one can understand her and such.@xerox_kitty said:

Good news, Illyana is no longer...
Kieron Gillen went on record stating that Illyana isn't the same person anymore by definition after getting back a chunk of her soul.
