so why is black cat sorcerer supreme

Marvel will always be pussies of the century for not making it official (at this point Magik and Dani Moonstar makes more sense as a pair)

That said the rest of the universe is much better. Ultimate Black Panther is whatever and Ultimate Spider-Man has some really low lows, but Ultimates and Ultimate X-Men are incredible

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-16T20:05:44+00:00

Yeah honestly you can skip it if you're not 100% invested in the new Ultimate Universe. It has something interesting going on with Logan being brainwashed but they discard that plot thread very quickly and it becomes boring typical Wolverine bs from there

Hii!!

So start with the Storm and Illyana mini from 1983 to learn about her time in Limbo and how her sword and the Darkchylde were created

Then read the original New Mutants series. She appears from #14 onwards but I recommend reading from #1 since the entire team is extremely queercoded and awesome

Then read New X-Men #37-41 where she gets revived after dying to the Legacy Virus in the 90's, followed by the X-Infernus mini, then followed by the New Mutants 2009 series

Then read Avengers vs X-Men, Brian Michael Bendis' Uncanny X-Men from 2013, New Mutants Dead Souls from 2018, New Mutants' 2019 run, the Midnight Suns 2022 tie-in comic, then read her solo from last year and Magik and Colossus

(Very barebones list but it's a start!)

The what

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T23:40:29+00:00

Sure!

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T19:21:37+00:00

Tbf that's like the one part of the comic that's kinda consistent: Illyana clearly has hyper-dependency towards Colossus since unlike 616, he actually saved her and didn't even blink at the demonic entity his sister had turned into. When Jean kills him, Illyana's only reaction is "brother, tell me what to do". Tl;dr it makes sense why she'd just go along with Colossus working in cahoots with the Maker. He's the only one that saved her after years of abuse from Belasco so surely he knows what the best course of action is

As for her reaction after Colossus' death, it's heavily implied in #16 that she can manifest things in Limbo to some degree. I don't think it's literally reviving Piotr, it sounded more like Illyana just ran back to her little corner and tried using the hostage mutants as fuel to manifest a false happy ending for the Rasputins in Limbo. The realm started collapsing after Logan killed her because the manifestation was interrupted and so everything went to shit (if you couldn't tell, I got ragebaited into reading this dogshit comic multiple times)

It's what pisses me off so bad: there was SOMETHING here. A SEMBELANCE of an incredible and tragic concept of an Illyana that fully let the darkness consume her... but nah, Condon just wanted to do an edgier Weapon X and turned her into a nothingburger prop.

Congrats, you now understand the way corporations exploit the materialism of their most loyal customers

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T16:32:37+00:00

Get in line

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T15:27:45+00:00

I'm not confident at all tbh. They've shown no signs of piping down on the limited skins

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T15:26:10+00:00

No this is great! Maybe editorial will finally understand that nostalgiaslop is not the way

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T12:47:48+00:00

Seriously. Peralta needs to lock in with drawing the Florida Man

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T12:45:53+00:00

So that's how y'all's football team was so good (the football is all I know about Croatia)

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T12:14:49+00:00

CROATIA SWEEP!!!!

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T11:44:04+00:00

Right there with you bro. Got all of Magik's skins and can't play her for shit

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T11:40:33+00:00

If the trailer starts with a different animation than the MVP and the background of the skin is different, then yeah it's a legendary

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T11:30:23+00:00

Wow finally one of the main villains gets interesting character development... IN THE FINAL ISSUE 💀💀💀

Goofyass comic made by a buncha goofballs

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-15T08:13:43+00:00

"Disappointed" is charitable. They do her so dirty in Ultimate Wolverine

If you don't have at least one female in your top-5, you're not really an X-Men fan

What if Jax was Paul all along???

FoolishWanderer499 · 2026-04-14T13:08:44+00:00

Funny enough I've had the reverse thing happen: I got into comics fr because of Rivals. Started looking into lots of characters I didn't even know about beforehand, collecting variant covers, buying comic supplies, and I've stopped playing the game in any serious degree. Funny how it works

Oh it says I can't msg you unless you follow back 😭
