Another Magik drawing (Patreon)

I'm not sure if you all know who Magik and Colosus are!

Peter and Illyana were born to a poor farming family in rural Ust-Ordynsky, Siberia.  I'm not saying that their father was inappropriate with Illyana but Peter was very protective of her and his mutant powers to transform into steel was brought about a moment of trauma when they were young.  He was cast out to live in the barn by his father  and again... not reading into things too much but maybe to keep Colosus from meddling with him and his daughter.  Illyana's power was to create teleportation disks that could bring her sanctuary called "Limbo" where she could then return to any time or place also brought on by a moment of trauma.  Hmm.  Maybe it could be from when...

Anyways, Peter and Illyana have always been very close and in the comics they are very physical with each other.  I always felt like the writers of the X-men were always trying to insinuate something between them.  He's always picking her up and kissing her so, well.  I dunno.  Maybe harmless but then again... maybe not!

I always love the look of these two together since Colosus is incredibly large and Magik is very tiny and skinny.  It really makes you wonder what these two would be like in a pairing in the "What If..." universe.
