Marvel Confirms Magik is Pansexual in The Strangest Way
Marvel has confirmed the X-Men's teleporter Magik is pansexual - in the strangest possible way. The last decade has seen the young mutant called Magik become a major player in the X-Men comics. Possessed with the power to open teleportational "stepping discs" that instantly transport her from one place to another, Magik was raised in a Hellish dimension and has struggled to acclimatize to normal life.
Magik has never shown much interest in sex and relationships. While that may simply reflect her unconventional upbringing, readers have often speculated she's completely asexual. Interestingly, though, alternate-universe versions of Magik - such as one seen in Jonathan Hickman's Secret Wars event back in - have tended to be gay. Now, though, Marvel has revealed the mainstream Magik has far more diverse sexual tastes.

Warning: contains spoilers for Exceptional X-Men #1Queer identity and politics have been an integral part of the X-Men mythos for nearly 50 years. Still, for much of that time, this queerness was relegated to subtext and fan headcanons. Thankfully, in recent years, a major increase in LGBTQ+ representation at Marvel Comics has seen beloved heroes like Iceman, Magik, and Kitty Pryde confirmed as gender non-conforming. While Kitty's queerness was canonized during the Krakoan Age, her new starring role in Exceptional X-Men may finally allow the beloved hero to travel her sexuality.
After the fall of Krakoa and Kitty Pryde's murderous time spent as Shadowkat, Kitty decides to formally leave the X-Men and move support to Chicago where she has begun trying to dwell a "normal" animation as a bartender.
Exceptional X-Men #1, by writer Eve Ewing and artist Carmen Carnero, sees Kitty getting ready for a date, who she thinks stood her up, before confirming that the EphemeristX wrote: Fri Jan 06, pm I always scan Magik as ace due to childhood trauma but occasionally 'trying out' ways to possibly express her sexuality. She feels enjoy someone who isn't sure what she is, if anything, and is finally reaching a point in her life that she's toying with exploring that side of herself. Things like offering to construct out with a bunch of aliens feels favor a joke that she's trying out to spot if maybe it isn't, you understand what I mean? No, assume that she attracted two.

This. Like… I kind of feel enjoy ‘Yana’s one of those characters where, from a writer’s point of view, she’s always had more than enough going on in the rest of her character development (so, being demonic, her brother’s “death”, being EXTRA demonic and then becoming a child, being dead, existence kind of resurrected but not quite, saving the world from Elder Gods, powers being wonky but learning more magic) to NEED a relationship to give her character any additional depth. You can measure Illyana’s growth in her personal relationships with her friends more than her relationships with a romantic partner.

Illyana Rasputin: Magik Appreciation
As for Rachel and Kitty, I could easily show a bunch of panels under Claremont that people interpreted as romantic, specially, (but not only) under Dani and Rahne, who even had a psychic link, like Scott & Jean. Again, are we supposed to believe that every single teenage girl, without exception, at Xaviers was a lesbian? What are the odds of that?
Also, its not fond of Claremont himself didnt came back in the 00s and could have outed any of these characters. If Karma was by other people, I uncertainty there would be any objections by editorial, as long as Claremont didnt decide to make the whole team gay, appreciate some want.
Apparently in Mechanix, Karma also had a crush on her. So, thats 3, every lesbian girl in the X-men has an unrequited crush
