Illyana Rasputin in X-Men #15

Let us appreciate every moment we get of this (better) costume. And (waaay better) sword.

Illyana Rasputin in Ultimate Invasion #3

Oui, Illyana est colérique, mais elle a raison.

All right, that’s enough showing off languages cosplaying Doug.

I… kinda like this set-up? Because Illyana would be willing—and very able—to play the bad guy for the greater good. Do feel like these people are more functions in a story than characters with depth in this series.

(Trust a Stark to jump to the wrong conclusions, though.)

Happy lesbian visibility week to our favorite lesbian mutants!

Ultimate Invasion is a weird one, still not sure how I feel about it after finishing it.

Illyana Rasputin teaming up with Nightcrawler in Immortal X-Men #7

What can I add to that? Amazing precision teamwork between teleporters, requiring absolute faith in each other’s ability.

Also the floating. That’s just cool.

Gotta give respect to Scott Koblish--not everyone can draw a connecting covers with multiple Illyana's on it. And this is just half of the whole thing? Bound to be more Illyanas, then. A whole team's worth of Illyanas!

Idea for a new Exiles book?

Illyana Rasputin dying in A.X.E.: Judgment Day #5 and Immortal X-Men #7

Since this was revealed to be a Celestial illusion, can anyone remind me if Illyana has ever had a confirmed Krakoan resurrection by the Five? I can’t recall any.

(And my headcanon is that having been reborn once already in the non-linear time of Limbo, she may very well be so connected to it that Limbo will always bring her back on its own. Illyana might have put in a DNR notice (Do Not Resurrect) to prevent there ending up being two of her. Which could have made for a good story with her friends hearing from the Five that they refuse to bring her back and not understanding why, and Illyana then turning up as they’re grieving her.)

Can we talk about this moment for a second?

Illyana went there as a last attempt to save her life, and when she was told that she was essentially about to die (like any minute now), she pretty much accepted it, and:

- Wanted to know if her brother survived the massacre

- Was happy that the last person she would get to see, and who'd be by her side when she passed, was Kitty.

-- Happy with the assumption that Emma quietly suspected the worst and had sent her someone she knew loved Illyana deeply so she wouldn't be alone in her final moments.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Even though Illyana has developed friendships along the way, in her assumed last moments of her life, all that was on her mind were THE TWO PEOPLE SHE CARES ABOUT THE MOST.

It's such a perfect character consistency moment, and I LOVE IT.

Thank you, Marvel writers 😘

Illyana Rasputin in A.X.E.: Judgment Day #5

I can’t help but feel that during mutant extinction event number infinity, everyone is a bit blasé about the odds. Scott and Illyana probably already had a plan for this specific eventuality anyway.

…So you see, your honor, we had no choice but to stan.

Illyana Rasputin in X-Men #14

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this run knows how to make teleporting look good.
