So I take it that a lot of people just don;t give a shit about her then? Interesting. /co/ is really dead today

>>93515679
I haven't seen her since Inhumans Vs. X-Men. From what I know she appeared in Secret Empire but I haven't read it.

>>93516965
She showed up in the "Secret Empire United" one shot. The cover originally had Emma on it, then they changed it at the last minute.

>>93515679
I love her. I just wish she had more representation in games and cartoons.

Ditch the Bachalo costume and give her something else new. The transition from generic X-Men uniform to Black Spike Armor was so jarring and unneccessary it was clearly a result of Bendis' negligence.

>>93515679
They gave her an accent in that Marvel diablo game.

But they also gave Black Widow's accent too.

>>93515679
I love her but I hate how when she finally got in the limelight Marvel was going to shit.

>accent

Personally I don't think she does because Claremont never wrote her using Russian words. Claremont was the king of silly accents/words and he used them to tell you about the characters so you could understand something about them even if you had never read them before. Illyana used demonic words/sayings rather than Russian ones.

>>93519724
IMO the biggest hurdle Illyana has towards a good costume is a lack of an iconic color scheme. Being in either black or the New Mutant uniform for the vast, vast, vast majority of her costumed appearances makes it hard for her to be "her" based on a color alone. So artists have been using her "outline" (more or less, not a drawfag so I don't know the best term) to define her. Typically this means that her left arm is more heavily armored/dressed than her left and she has her hair cut the same way. Lately they've also been pushing horns/hairpieces as part of this. See pic related for one example of how an artist tried to keep her "her" even out of her costume.

In general I like this but sometimes it ends up terrible (see that horrendous Black Vortex costume for example) and more importantly, it doesn't address the main issue of her actual costume being generic leather.

>>93517316
They have accents, retard.

>>93515679
She's a good character, but I've never been a fan of magic based story telling in Marvel, so never took a shine to her.

Was better about 20 years ago, was interesting and had an interesting dynamic with her place in the world, her powers and her family; all of which has been overdone. Sucks and is very boring now.
She is like Kitty now; just another Mary Sue who can do it all no matter what.

>>93522648
She really needs to backslide into the dark. Not full on villain or antihero, just have her do bad things for good reasons and struggle to keep them a secret from everyone else until shit explodes into drama

Of course, that will never happen because Marvel writers are A) incompetent, B) ever-changing, C) Told to hate the X-men and D) incapable of having characters do things that they morally disagree with

Illyana Rasputin is the Devil, LITERALLY. ( Limbo counts as Hell, sorta )
And she pines for her incorruptible brother and flirts incessantly with her closet-lesbian BFF.
What's not to love?

By the way, this demonic *THING* wearing "Little Snowflake" like some sort of soul-cosplay is destined to do very bad things at some point in time, so enjoy it all while you can.
This impish naughty girl trying to reform her ways act isn't going to survive any real scrutiny when the X-Men finally get their act together.

Fuck that. It was more interesting when she did that shit proudly. Slightly psychopathic Illyana was way more interesting than "oh hey I'm acting just like any other normal girl who happens to be a demon warlock again, who needs a magic bus ride?!" Also, her soul sword is not meant to be just a conventional fucking weapon that you smash things with, cut that shit out.

>>93515679
I've resigned myself to the fact that no modern representation of her will have one tenth the personality of her 80s and 90s self. Same goes for her brother.

OP here. Still not sure whether she has an accent or not. I'm gonna go read Claremont's X-Men in a few days, and I do like knowing stuff about characters. Yes, I am autistic. So far I think more people have said she has an accent tbqh.

Why the fuck are they having a teenage girl in a latex bikini who acts like a giant slut and murders people? What's wrong with marvel?

>>93517244
>>93532553
>slut
I don't think she's ever been with anyone, so I literally don't see why everyone's calling her a slut. Is it because she's cute and likes showing off her body? Cause that would be half the women in the world then.

>>93515679
I'm glad Illyana is dead.
She didn't deserve this.

>>93526725

I don't think she has an accent. Unlike Piotr, she speaks way more fluently and in a teenage way, without broken up english.

>>93531748
The best version would be a normal sized sword with the design of the surfboard that "bleeds" soul "energy"

>>93532605
At this point it is super fucking weird that she has never had a partner, especially for x-men.

She was speaking nothing but Russian for 8 years. Then of course there's this exchange that sounds very natural with a russian accent.

She was also still speaking russian after she left limbo. Xavier didn't make her speak perfect english until after. Prior, he had everyone else speak russian to communicate with her.

Claremont wrote her for years with no accent. Bendis doesn't even know what her mutant power is

>>93536349

For that matter. Neither do I.

>>93536349
>>93536470
Stepping Discs?

>>93536349
Claremont wrote her with no catch phrases. He only does that as a notifier for a character's nationality. Illyana is regularly mentioned as Colossus sister, who is known to be Russian, thus no need to remind people of that.

>>93536687
Yes

>>93536901
Her speech very different from Piotr. She uses lots of extremely familar language, Piotr is more formal and often plays as the Watson to the other characters' Holmes when they're talking

Piotr spent the first 19 years of his life in Russia. That's why he still has an accent

Illyana was raised for over half her life in a Hell dimension by Belasco, Storm and Kitty
She probably lost her accent

>>93531734
Cute.

>>93515679
I love her. She's mai waifu.

I hate that edgy stripper costume and just about everything they did to her in recent times though. She's suffered too much to be brought low by shit writing and Marvel's anti X-Men policies.

>>93525325
That's obviously just Emma cosplaying as Illyana.

>>93533913

Stepping discs. She could use them to teleport herself as well as others near her to another location on Earth. Initially, this was limited by places she had visited before or could picture clearly like from a live TV broadcast.
The teleportation was not instantaneous. There was a second stage requiring a very brief transition through her version of the realm called Limbo.
Later, she could teleport much more reliably to much greater distances, and even to different periods of time when she prepared for it. Yes, this mutant power IS that OP.

This mutant power being tied to a mystical element (her version of the dimension of Limbo) is a lot like Scarlet Witch having her mutant power being the manipulation of a mystical energy, Chaos Magic in her case. And of course no one's really addressed why it panned out that way - that a mutant power expression is tied to a mystical element or location. Unless mutant powers just give no fucks about the source material of what they interact with.

>>93538335
That's the one i think. Not sure how close she actually is.

>>93540067
If Age of Apocalypse is to be believed, she's a general time/space teleporter and her affinity for stepping disks is purely because she grew up near them.

Psychic instruction in a language allows the learner to skip their own muscle memory. A Japanese learner wouldn't have the L/R issue for example. IMO Xavier normally retains the expected accent for their language (Colossus) but in Illyana's case be just dumped the whole language because he was being a prick due to a Brood infestation.
