Magik, 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 in Uncanny 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 Marie serves 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 of Avengers vs. X-Men.

Magik has collected more than a couple of titles throughout 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 confidence that the Soviet Sorcerer is known for. version 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.
