I just read New Mutants #9. And if im getting this straight, the character
that has returned, is not in fact Illyana Rasputin, aka: Magik, but is a character
named Darkchilde inhabiting Illyana's body, who's soul is currently away?
If so doesnt that declare Darkchilde a seperate character, particularly in X-Infernus,
and deem that Magiks bio needs to be split in two?
 

I agree with your comment and it's good that Zeb Wells recognizes Magik as two separate beings such as one is an innocent girl who's human while the other is a wicked demon.

It's good because Zeb Wells is sticking to what Kyle & Yost started with the Quest for Magik.  It also shines a little light on what happened between her re-appearance and issue 1 of the new New Mutants.

yeah, its very interesting for sure. and im glad they didnt sweep all of that under the rug as well, its one of my largest pet 
peeves as a reader.  Zebs an impressive writer, and i kind of wish he would take over Uncanny (ahem).
as for the division, i was thinking more on the lines that they exploits would be carried by both, not separately, 
ie: Magiks exploits would be written, but the fact that it was Darkchilde in her body walking  around interacting
would be pointed out from when and to when, much like when Skrull replacement is pointed out, whereas Darkchilde, 
being a separate character would have the same issues/adventures that pertain to her/it on her/its own page.
as  for confusing, i didnt take it into consideration since in any characters case as such, they do have separate
pages, (examples: Sentry/Void, Onslaught/Xavier, Ben Reilly/Peter Parker/Kaine/and whoever else, 
Parallax/Hal Jordan/Spectre/Kyle Rayner, Shadow king/whomever,ect) to avoid the confusion that it was 
actually them talking at the time in question (for example a current reader of the bio would understand that it was Illyana 
that destroyed aspects of Legions psyche, maybe with a little influence). stuff like that is reminiscant of the inaccuracies 
of wikipedia that we're supposed to avoid here, to me anyways. only my suggestion, i cant edit bio's anyways do to a bug
so its not my ball personally.

 Fair enough, but it still bothers me. Both characters are shown on panel interacting in the physical realm
(and something tells me will again). Emma says " Your not Illyana Rasputin " and " Who are you", to which
Darkchilde admits and explains. Just doesnt sit right with me.
 
on other notes...
I caught the Magik alias as well. so what are the thoughts on Darkchildes emergence.
How does anyone calculate this might pan out and what will it mean for the New Mutants,
and Colossus's if he finds out. 
 
also, im probally off, but Darkchilde referred to seeking her Bloodstones, which if i remember are still lost to her. 
I was wondering if anyone thinks this might be one?

For the longest time, I felt Illyana's resurrection seemed hollow, and it was because it was the Darkchilde that was resurrected, not Illyana. "

I didn't think their was a debate whether it was Illyana or not. She had freaking horns and a tail and tried to kill people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Illy c'mon   anything involving Ilyana or Darkchilde cant be bad after all as you said she's the closest thing earth 616 has to the "Original". Me personally I'm thrilled with the demon who wants to be a girl "darkchilde". after all Ilyana the sweet innocent pure soul died from the lagacy virus.......... this thing running around is simply a demon who remembers being a girl, the "lions share" of illyanas soul is in heaven somewhere while the small portion left in the soulsword is all that the demon has........ "ping"  anyone else remember that alternate illyana's soul sword once resided with archangel? perhaps darkchilde could fuse the two together to get more of a soul? just came to me....... x0 "

So basically the current Magik is Illyana as if she hadnt reverted back to childhood in New Mutants Vol 1 #75 and is missing her soul.  So if she can get her soul back that will make her their old team mate again but not necessarily the same child who died of the Legacy Virus?

" @Illyana Rasputin: do you think that they will wrap this up with her getting her soul back are are they going to play around with her more before turning her evil and killing her again?? "
