How much was Illyana underused and nerfed in the current Shadow King arc, versus how much did Magik throw the fight to let other people shine?
In the original Karma vs. Shadow King run in the 1980s, Magik clearly ran the fight to give everyone a chance to develop (otherwise she would have simply teleported Karma to Limbo instead of each of The New Mutants in turn to break Farouk's control.)
I also got the impression Illyana ran the Dead Souls miniseries low key so Tran and Xian could reconcile in certain ways (paralleling 'Little Snowflakes' issues with Piotr, as well as Rahne versus Strong Guy, Doug&Warlock etc.)
