Goblin Queen
Real Name: Madelyne Pryor-Summers
Affiliation: The Six
Relatives: Sinister (creator), Alex Summers (Havok, husband), Scott Charles Summmers (son), Scott Summers (Cyclops brother-in-law)
Aliases: Beyonder II, Marvel Woman
Status: Unknown, presumed deceased
Powers: Originally, Madelyne had no powers, and simply bore an uncanny
resemblance to the "deceased" X-Man Jean Grey
(Ariel, who recently resurfaced). Havok met her when he went to Alaska to dispose
of his grandmother's estate. The two immediately became friends, and soon fell
in love. Certainly the fact that Madelyne looked like Alex's deceased teammate
and girlfriend Jean contributed to their fascination with each other, but true
feelings also blossomed, and the two were married soon after Alex split from the
X-Men to form X-Factor. Although she had no powers,
Maddie quickly became the heart and soul of the team. She also gave birth to a
son, Scott, rounding out X-Factor's "family." All was not peachy, though, when
Alex started an affair with Susan Richards of the Fantastic
Four. Upset and depressed, Maddie became close with Ice-Man,
but though their relationship stayed platonic, Alex was jealous when his affair
ended, enough to blow up Bob's healing chamber and turn Hank McCoy into the Brute.
Then, during Inferno, Maddie was apparently forced to deal with S'ym and N'astrih
in order to save Scotty, whom they had kidnapped. As a result, she saved her son
and the entire planet, and also activated a heretofore unknown power of telekinesis.
She was the key to stopping Inferno, but that, and her son's life, may have come
at a great cost. Maddie acted as co-leader of the Six, but has been corrupted
into the Goblin Queen by an unknown evil force. She controlled The
Fallen, and killed the Green Goblin and a clone of Man-Spider,
framing it on her teammate, Brute. Then she restored the Brute's intellect and
forced him to request his own execution. After his death, Maddie somehow resurrected
the Brute, who was now completely under her control. Finally, she attacked and
possessed the remainder of the Six, even curing Ice-Man of his hyper-frozen state.
She then attacked the Fantastic Four, put Johnny Storm and Susan Richards under
her thrall, and convinced Reed Richards to join her. When Ben Grimm tried to stop
her, she blasted him out the window. Armed with her five teammates and three of
the FF, took control of the Sentinels by
possessing their contoller, Larry Trask, and used them to destroy the Avnegers
and take over NYC. In Washington D.C., Maddie killed President Starr and then
took control of now-President Kelly. She had him restore S.H.I.E.L.D.
restored to government duties, and made a play to control the Nexus of all Realities.
She was stopped by Havok, Dr. Strange and
the heroes who became the Defenders. After
Havok destroyed the Nexus, Maddie cut a deal with Callisto,
trading Havok for her people's lives. When Alex was delivered, however, Maddie
flash-burned Cal's face, incurring the wrath of the Mole
Man. Before she could proceed with eliminating the heroes, Magneto
appeared and destroyed the Sentinels. Madelyne escaped, but afterwards it seemed
that her evil persona would come and go. She dispatched Bloodstorm
to retrieve Scotty, but then sent him to the X-Men with the restored Brute to
keep him safe. It was then revealed that Madelyne's deal with N'astirh allowed
the "Goblin Force" to possess her, turning her to evil. However, the Goblin Force
merely overlaid Madelyne's personality, but did not destroy it, so Madelyne was
able to contact Scotty in his dreams. Later, Scotty and Havok entered Madelyne's
mind, where first Havok blasted the evil force, and then Scotty destroyed it completely.
However, Madelyne vanished as a result.
Much later, the Goblin Force animated the corpse of the Beyonder and returned to menace the Earth, allying with Dracula and killing almost all the world's heroes. Finally the Beyonder attacked Havok and the Six, trying to get to the Nexus of All Realities, which was hidden inside Alex. With the help of the last remaining super-geniuses, Havok confronted the Beyonder and forced him to reveal himself as the Goblin Queen. Inside the Goblin Queen was Madelyne, somehow still alive. Alex told her she would become the next Guardian of the Nexus after he took the Goblin Queen into it. When Alex beat the Goblin Queen, Madelyne was returned to Earth in corporeal form and was reunited with her son Scotty.
