    Agreed. Illyana is a font of untapped potential with the capacity to go in all sorts of directions. The lack of clarity in some areas definitely makes it easier for each of us to fill the blanks in our own way.

I’d also throw out that Hickman’s take is a bit of a departure and seems particularly dialed up for the sake of comedy since this is turning out to be the most comedic book of the line.

    Anyway, I appreciate your affection for and understanding of the character, so I apologize for my earlier dismissiveness.
    All good

    We are all posting here because we love the character, so I appreciate your input as well.

    I wonder if Mondo and Chmber would have disobeyed if they knew it was Magik giving the order, since it was Karma who contacted them and not the Captain.

    Since none of the New Mutants are seen among the space debris I assume Mondo and Chamber are the only ones from the mutants who were spaced and the rest are still relatively 'safe' in parts of the ship that weren't blown up.

    And, as I said before, Illyana so outclassed her opponents there was no need for the fight to even be shown on panel. She says 'now we're talking' and the next panel is their heartbeat monitors flatlining.'

    For me it's pretty obvious she was at least attracted to Roberto since she thought about him as attractive multiple times. People can lie when they open their mouths all the time, but thought bubbles and boxes are supposed to be what a person is really thinking at the time.

    I seriously doubt Hickman put half as much thought into that joke as we've been expending on it.
    Being attracted to men while young means little. I had a friend that only ever kissed boys and had a huge crush on her teacher. I even made some passes on her and she refused LOL
    Later she came out as lesbian

    We also saw a lot of Illyano not interested on sex

    Yeah I always saw Illyana as Asexual - she never showed interest in anyone

    I've always suspected that Kate wants to be inside Illyana.

    I wonder if that's a back-door pilot for the Magic Academy book.

    Nah. It's just a back door way to reprint a Claremont X-Men story and make some easy money.

    I was extremely disappointed that her picture in the lineup at the beginning of the issue didn't feature an 'eye-role' :-)

    There was a rumor last Spring that they were bringing in Antonio Banderas to play Belasco.

I can’t imagine there’s much she wouldn’t say to achieve her goals. There are no snowflakes in hell, after all.
    This. She’s ruthless. And brilliant.
