The moment Illyana emerges from the shadows and says,“You are wasting air,”is incredibly bone-chilling yet displays how Magik exudes power with a unique fear factor. What makes Magik so scary isn’t just her demonic appearance but her incredible powers, which she derives from both her mutant abilities and her status as the Sorcerer Supreme of Limbo.
Wolverine and Illyana both have a darker, more feral side. Still, Magik’s Darkchild is an extremely powerful demonic force, for which Magik has been fighting her entire life since she was brought to the realm of Limbo.Not only does her Darkchild form give Magik a chilling appearance, but there is always the fear that she could lose control of it.
As the Sorcerer Supreme of the Limbo Dimension, Illyana is well-versed in dark sorcery. However, whenMagik gives in to her darker form, she often sports giant demon-like horns and other hellish characteristics. Her stepping disks also allow her to teleport, giving her the horrifying illusion of being everywhere at once, as seen in theMagik#8 preview.

Magik Strikes Fear Into the Hearts of Many
Magik’s incredible power is both an asset to the X-Men and a very real source of terror, as Cyclops made sure to recruitIllyana to his Alaska X-Men team, standing beside Kid Omega and Juggernaut, some of the most powerful heroes the team has ever seen. However, many heroes, such as Emma Frost, have admitted that Darkchild absolutely terrifies them.
Despite being kidnapped and corrupted by the sorcerer Belasco and experiencing the brutality of the Limbo Dimension, Magik has risen from the hardships of losing her childhood and has become one of the X-Men’s most powerful and feared warriors. Wolverine is indeed terrifying, butMagik’s recent feat of wreaking havoc solidifies her as theX-Men’s scariest superhero.
