Hey all and welcome to another Marvel handbook. I‘m running a tad late this week. Last week was a glitch in the system but we got it up. This time I‘m just late. Sorry about that Daron. What‘s up?
Not much, finally done with this crazy class I was in this last quarter and ready for my break.
If your wondering why late: I was a little tied up. I was helping a friend all Friday. Worked Thursday and well just doing other stuff every other day. But I‘m here. Let‘s go.

1. i have been going through all my old comic boxes recently and have been reading all of the new mutants issues i have. i have seen a new inferno story being talked about and saw a magick series coming out. my question is what happened from her being turned back into a little kid during the original inferno and whatever she is doing now.
She was turned back to a kid. That is still in effect. After all when Illyana died in the 90s of the Legacy Virus. During Illyana’s funeral, Colossus abandoned the X-Men and joined Magneto’s Acolytes. Belasco created a powerful spell to return Illyana to life. We can thank House of M for helping bring her back. This created the new Darkchilde. When the New X-Men went to Limbo they met with Illyana and Pixie was given magical powers. Also this event gave Illyana the memories from the original. She now rules Limbo again and plans to regain her soul to return.
2. what was the deal when doctor strange was sporting an eye patch and supposedly dead back in the ealry 90’s?
During the second series called Strange Tales in the 80s/90s Dr. Strange, in a corrupted state resulting from his utilization of black magic. Ghaszaszh Nyirh challenges Strange and Kaluu (Strange’s new mentor). The being takes the form of Clea blasts out Strange’s left eye with a green energy blast. of course Agamotto replaced Doc’s lost eye with Silver Dagger’s left eye in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #7.

Hi Jim,
Hope you’re doing well. Got a Magneto question for you.
Magneto is probably my favourite villain in Marvel, although I think he’s a bit overexposed. I was away from comics for awhile so went on Wikipedia to read about what happened with Magnus since I left and was interested in this Xorn thing and how the big reveal was that Magneto was the character all along or something. The entry was a bit confusing so could you explain the storyline and the response it generated?
Sure I can explain the Xorn thing as best I can. This may get confusing. It‘s not you. Everyone gets confused with this one
Xorn: Cyclops convinced him to escape that fate and join the staff at the Xavier Institute. After the defeat of Cassandra Nova, Xavier made for him a class called The Special Class for mutants. Once the class started Esme Cuckoo was dealing out Kick to the students of the Institute which was created by Sublime who was planning on taking control of mutants and create mutant hysteria. Xorn himself got addicted and began to push Magneto’s ideals over Xavier’s in his teachings After being confronted, he revealed himself as Magneto claiming he had survived Cassandra Nova’s Sentinel attack on Genosha. He then led a desperate attack on New York City after sending most of the city’s heroes looking for ‘black hole bombs’ outside city limits and preventing their return with his powers. He killed Jean and was killed by Wolverine in the end. Another Xorn (the originals brother revealed the truth later. Of course the original Xorn came back after the House of M event a mass was later revealed to be all the energies from mutants who lost their powers became the Collective and attacked Magneto revealing it was Xorn. Sentry helped destroy the power in the end.
Thanks,
