Back in October, Cartoon Country took us on a guided tour of Superhero City. In that article, we caught a brief glimpse of Magix, you know, that floating magical cloud city thingy which hovered in the sky above Superhero City and was attached to the city by that rainbow doo-dad.

Well today, we’ve been given clearance to take an extensive tour of this unique spot. So strap in, fasten your seat belts, and…

While the denizens of Superhero City like to refer to Magix as SHC’s “sister city”, resembling a shiny, sparkling pink-and-gold self-contained city housed atop a puffy pinkish cloud which floats some 10,000 feet above Superhero City, attached to the shores and beaches of SHC by the Ever Rainbow, Magix is in fact an outer-dimensional asteroid realm. Magix is also the name of the capital city within this planetoid realm.

As its’ name implies, the asteroid Magix is surrounded by, well, magic. The air around the planetoid reeks of bananas and kumquats (that’s what white magic smells like, BTW; very few people know that). These magical energies are what keep Magix afloat and from falling through the cloud it’s housed upon, magic controls the climate in and around Magix and prevents the city from interfering with or being interfered with by our planet’s ecosystem…

…And magic is what keeps the asteroid’s structures, rivers, trees and inhabitants (hereinafter referred to as Mythicals by scientists with too much free time) from floating off into space. Now, about said inhabitants…

Generally speaking, Magix’s citizenry consists of Wizards (obviously)…

Fairies, a class of all-female winged hippie hotties…

Pixies, basically like Fairies, only smaller, like wallabies to kangaroos…

Elves, Fairies with no wings and a Y chromosome…

Witches, the Gingers to the Fairies’ Mary-Anns…

Trolls (just keep ’em off the internet)…

Ogres (mean and green, and other colors)…

Mermaids…

“Splash-splash!”

Sea Monsters…

“Glurg-glurg!”

Unicorns…

Pegasi…

“Keep ’em flying!”

Dragons…

..And Monsters.

The monsters and some (though not all) of the witches reside in Darkmoon, a creepy dark forest on the outskirts of Magix. It’s always nighttime in Darkmoon, even when it’s bright and sunny everywhere else, perpetually shrouded underneath a sinister looking moon.

Not unlike our world, Magix is presently undergoing an era of Political Correctness, due to many of the previously disparate lands and kingdoms having been recently united under the rule of the Candy Kingdom, after their rulers King Kandy and Queen Frostine having won this decade’s Hungry Games.

To their credit, under the Candy Kingdom’s rule, Magix has become very rich and prosperous.

If you have enough of Magix’s chief monetary unit, the gold coin…

…You can go into the shopping center in Magix’s town square and purchase the latest and greatest magic wands.

The few Outlanders who get to see Magix from the inside are often surprised to discover how technologically advanced the realm is. Magix has Spell Phones (they’re like cellphones except they run on magic instead of electricity), Spell-o-Vision, computers and flying vehicles such as Wind Riders.

The Candy Rulers have even started a high-profile, exclusive private school within the capital, the Cloud Towers Academy of Magic and Myth.

Within these walls, Magix’s richest and most privileged young Mythicals learn their respective crafts (with the Niceties’ classes on the East Wing of the school and Nasties’ classes on the West Wing), learn the ins and outs of magic (and Chivalry or Treachery, depending on which tower they’re assigned to) and get out of their parents’ collective hair for a few hours , fed by the realm’s finest chefs and taught by the wisest sages and finest sorcerers in all the land.

Now, you may recall during our Superhero City tour, that originally the rulers of Magix didn’t want us poking our noses around their realm. What made them change their minds, you ask? It took some heavy negotiations and a HUGE donation of lollipops.
