Also, Magik's always been this powerful. She was introduced as someone with the power to end all life on earth and her origin involved her defeating a foe who was powerful enough to take on the entire X-Men team at once and then becoming ruler of an entire dimension with armies of demons to call on, some of which are themselves more powerful than the likes of Colossus or the entire rest of the New Mutants. In the issue where she joins the team a demon whose so powerful Sam knocks himself out trying to ram into him and Roberto and Amara can't make flinch agrees to become her lapdog. In the Zeb Wells run she defeated Legion all by herself and everyone else was just along for the ride when she executed her scheme against the Elder Gods. It's the Superman/Thor problem. Brisson is failing at writing the other characters properly, but not because he's using Magik too much.
