Its a dropped ball because she can't use the power unless she is adjacent to another character. That makes zero sense. I would have liked to see her have a similar power that gave her phasing and allowed her to carry at least 2 friendlies. She teles all of the xmen at once in this arc!

So basically it doesn't work the way some wish it would, therefore it is a dropped ball?

How about, instead, if it doesn't work the way you wish it would, therefore you play another version of Magik? For example:

wxm034 R Magik
Team: Mystics
Range: 6
Points: 102
Keywords: Exiles, Mystical, New Mutants, Ruler

9 10 17 3

8 11 17 3

10 11 17 3

9 10 16 3

8 11 16 2

7 10 15 2

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

KO KO KO KO

(Special) Teleportation Discs: Magik can use Phasing/Teleport and the Carry ability. She may carry up to two characters if both have the New Mutants keyword, regardless of their combat symbols.

(Speed) Travel Through Limbo: Give Magik a free action and double her speed value. If you do, at the end of the turn deal 1 unavoidable damage to her or one of the characters she carried this turn.

(Attack) Soulsword: Magik can use Blades/Claws/Fangs and Exploit Weakness. When she makes a close combat attack, she ignores the Mystics team ability.


Then you get a character you like and those of us who like this one can be happy, too
