Magus (Marvel Comics)
The Magus (/ˈmeɪɡəs/) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a techno-organic patriarch of an alien civilization. He is typically depicted as an antagonist to the X-Men and their associated teams, such as the New Mutants and X-Force.
The Magus first appeared in the New Mutants #18-19 (August–September 1984). He was created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Bill Sienkiewicz. The character and his son, the New Mutant, Warlock, were intended as an homage to Jim Starlin's characters: Adam Warlock and his evil alter ego Magus.
The character subsequently appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #192 (April 1985), and The New Mutants #46-47 (December 1986-January 1987), and #50 (April 1987). The character did not appear again for many years, until Warlock #7-9 (April–June 2000), and X-Force #2 (May 2008).
The Magus received an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #8.
The Magus is the ruler of the extraterrestrial Technarchy. After his son Warlock refuses to kill him and joins the New Mutants on Earth, Magus follows him before being repelled by the X-Men Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Rogue.
Deep in space, Magus met the New Mutants again. Assisted by the Starjammers and Professor X, the Magus was "reprogrammed" into reverting to an infant state.[volume & issue needed] He later returned to normal and sought out his son. He confronted a new version called 'Douglock', which was not exactly the entity he expected. A combined force consisting of several Avengers, Wolfsbane and two newer super-powered people, Hope and Psimon, confronted him during his attack on New York. Magus was defeated when Douglock combined his abilities with Hope's matter-transformation powers and was thought to have returned to his home planet.[volume & issue needed]
It was eventually discovered that before Magus left Earth, he placed an offspring underwater. This offspring was approached by members of the Purifiers, enemies of the X-Men, who "awoke" it when the submarine used by The Purifiers transmitted the word "Warlock."
As it was in a mindless state, Bastion rewrote its programming and infected Donald Pierce and the Leper Queen, as well as reviving the lifeless remains of Bolivar Trask, Cameron Hodge, Stephen Lang, Graydon Creed and Reverend William Stryker with the Technarch virus.
