Magique is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The character first appeared in X-Men #107-109 (October 1977-February 1978), and was created by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum. She was not named on-panel initially.
The character next appears as Magic in Rom Annual #4 (December 1985), and X-Men: Spotlight on Starjammers #2 (June 1990). The character subsequently appears as Magique in Quasar #32 (March 1992), JLA/Avengers #1 (September 2003), Uncanny X-Men #479 (December 2006), #485-486 (June-July 2007), and X-Men: Emperor Vulcan #5 (March 2008).
Magic appeared as part of the "Imperial Guard" entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #6.
Magique is a founding member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. She has been present in many of the team's appearances, but has often remained in the background throughout most of the Guard's long history. She was present at the Guard's first battle with the X-Men. She was also involved in the Guard's attack upon the Starjammers and Excalibur. During the Kree-Shi'ar War, Magique and two of her teammates were sent to thwart the heroes Quasar and Starfox. During this encounter, she used her power to create illusions of nearly every other member of the Imperial Guard.
She appeared with the Imperial Guard during the crowning of Vulcan as emperor of the Shi'ar.
During War of Kings, Guardians of the Galaxy member Adam Warlock fights with Emperor Vulcan in Guardians of the Galaxy #15. Later some Imperial Guardsmen, including Magique, are seen helping Vulcan. Magique is ordered by Mentor to attack Adam Warlock and after a short but heavy fight Magique seemed to have lost the battle and Warlock escapes. However, not all was lost, as Magique was able to put a 'witchmark' on Adam, without him knowing. Adam was followed by the Imperial Guard (via Magique's 'witchmark'). The Imperial Guardsmen attacked the Guardians of the Galaxy while Magique follows Adam Warlock, who somehow is able to transport the 'witchmark' back on her and therefore the Shi'ar soldiers shoot her instead of Adam Warlock.
