Killer Frost vs. Magik is a deliciously chaotic first pull (Jonas and I made a list of 50 DC villains and 50 Marvel heroes. We will pit them against each other based on their comic attributes). Round one is βice-queen cryo-chemist with emotional damageβ vs βteen sorceress with a teleporting sword forged in literal demonic trauma.β It is like pitting a cryogenic physicist against the entire concept of mystical space-time.
Killer Frost (DC)
Depending on the incarnation (Caitlin Snow is the usual go-to these days), she is basically a walking cold-fusion experiment. She absorbs heat, drops temperatures to sub-arctic levels, and can freeze a person from the inside out.
Her weak spot: she briefly turns into a kitten when she forms friendships. Emotionally. Sometimes literally. Depends on the issue.
Magik / Illyana Rasputin (Marvel)
Succubus-eyed teleporting sorcery prodigy. Wields the Soulsword, queen of Limbo, general menace whenever she gets bored. She can slice through magic like it is wet tissue, open portals to every corner of the multiverse, and throw demons at the problem if the problem is not responding to βstab.β
How this fight actually goes
Killer Frost opens strong: instant cold front, ice daggers, the whole Elsa-but-she is-having-a-meltdown routine.
Magik responds byβ¦ stepping sideways into Limbo like she is ducking into 7-Eleven. Killer Frost, confused, tries to freeze Limbo. Limbo responds with a tentacle that looks like it is made out of someoneβs unresolved trauma.
Magik pops back out behind her, Soulsword in hand. It does not cut flesh. It cuts the thing that makes Killer Frost dangerous. Which is her powers. Which is awkward.
Result: Killer Frost ends the battle standing in a puddle of her own melted ice illusions, suddenly room-temperature and VERY annoyed. Magik offers a snarky comment, teleports away, and calls it a day.
Winner: Magik
She has dimensional mobility, magic immunity via Soulsword mechanics, and the tactical advantage of βhaha noβ every time someone tries a frontal attack.
