#cyttorak

The Extinction Team had some interesting dynamics, one of which was Colossus' struggle with The Juggernaut's power and Magik supporting him. Cyttorak is a cruel master but Ilyana has extensive experience with all things demonic. She doesn't like being called snowflake, however. At all.

The siblings took time off from being Phoenix people and travelled to his realm, The Crimson Cosmos. Pete makes a good argument, but Cyttorak says nah.

BEGONE

Hilariously, he wants to keep him because he's a hero. Violence and destruction is a constant for them, without any of the hiding folks like Cain Marko have to do. In trying to oppose him, it's revealed a demon lord is all powerful when in their domain.

After AvX went to shit and the siblings tried to take each other down, they took some time for a post-game chat. Pete, especially, is not dealing well.

Then Magik drops the bomb, putting the 'snowflake' business to bed for good.

Colossus is... not happy about this revelation.

It's pretty wild to learn that she was not acting in good faith at all, but then again they never expected to become the Phoenix Five. I think there's some misplaced anger on both sides, but ultimately they're both pretty messed up.

He loses his shit and attacks her while Magik twists the knife. She insists on a change of scenery and takes them to Limbo. With her first sword strike she breaks the curse, freeing him from Cyttorak.

'Remember what Cyttorak said? That a demon lord is all powerful in their own realm?'

'So you could have cured me anytime?'
