Who is Locus?

Origin Locus was never given an origin story. She first appeared fighting alongside Reignfire's Mutant Liberation Front having dropped hints that she could fluently speak several alien languages, which suggests that she has had many dangerous & exotic adventures before her first appearance. Creation Created by writer Fabian Nicieza and artists Matt Broome & Greg Capullo in 1993, Locus was introduced as a member of the Mutant Liberation Front & thereore as an enemy of the teenage mutant team, X-Force . Her character was later completely reinvented by writer John Francis Moore & artist Adam Pollina . Character Evolution Magik Reborn? Speaking Shi'Ar: Locus Suspected To Be Magik? Originally, Locus was a mystery character when she appeared in the heart of battle. Very little information was revealed. Readers were therefore left with a Caucasian, blonde, overly-confident, talkative female mutant who had the ability to teleport across galaxies (she indicated that she could speak Shi'Ar & several other alien languages). The combination of her attitude, physical appearance and powers made fans suspect that Locus was Magik somehow reincarnated.
