Ask AI: Name ten interesting facts about the mutant Illyana Rasputin.

1. Illyana Rasputin is also known by her codename, Magik, and she is a mutant character in the Marvel Comics universe. 2. She first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975 as the little sister of the mutant Colossus. She didn't become the character Magik until later in a mini-series titled "Magik (Illyana and Storm Limited Series)". 3. Her main mutant ability involves teleportation. She can teleport through time and space by creating "stepping discs," which allow her and others to move from one location to another. 4. Illyana spent much of her formative years in Limbo, a demonic realm. She was abducted and raised there by the demon Belasco, which played a large part in shaping her abilities. 5. During her time in Limbo, Illyana learned sorcery and became a formidable sorceress. Her abilities are even greater in Limbo but she is also a highly skilled magic user in the normal reality. 6. Illyana has a unique weapon known as the Soulsword. She forged it from her own life energy while in Limbo, and it is the ultimate embodiment of her magical power. 7. She has actually died and been resurrected, which is a relatively common occurrence in the X-Men comics. After her death, she was reborn as the Darkchylde, a demon sorceress who ruled Limbo. 8. Illyana has been both a member of the X-Men and New Mutants. Despite her sometimes dark nature, she has often stood side-by-side with these teams in defending mutants and humans alike. 9. Her relationship with Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat) is notable. They are best friends, with Kitty acting as a big sister and mentor figure to Illyana. 10. Illyana is a unique mutant in that her powers are a combination of her inherent mutant abilities and the magical education she received while in Limbo. This duality of magic and mutation is a recurring theme in her characterization and is a key aspect of her character.
