If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our years on the Internet, it’s that there’s no aspect of comics that can’t be broken down and quantified in a single definitive list, preferably in amounts of five or ten. And since there’s no more definitive authority than ComicsAlliance, we’re taking it upon ourselves to compile Top Five lists of everything you could ever want to know about comics.

From the earliest days of comics, there have been characters who performed heroic deeds. And for almost as long, there have been characters that have used magic to help them perform those heroic deeds. It makes perfect sense, because, let's be honest, just saying a character uses magic is a lot easier than having to make up some kind of realistic or believable way a character can accomplish outrageous and unbelievable heroic feats. Whether they use spells or sleight of hand, this week we're saluting five of the very best magic heroes.
