Madelyne Pryor: Red Queen Appreciation 2018

[Narasinha]

If the good guys are being bad, and the bad guys are being good, then Maddie, who's been portrayed as bad, ought to be good.

You realize that Axis is ended and Madelyne wasn't in it? She didn't got inverted.

Think of my post as a "What If" scenario.

Nice pic of Maddy...uh yep...

[Bl00dwerK]

It was also sad that she became this hypersexualized, infanticidal, evil character... though she did look hot as the Goblyn Queen, I must confess.

Yeah, she's about the hottest villain I've ever seen in comics. If there's one I would consider hotter I can't recall her, right off hand. Also, I think her being evil is part of why I think she's so hot...

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Perhaps part of it is her connection to Jean but knowing that it's not Jean...

[Drakeon]

Maddie and Selene are my faves in the hot villain category. Helps that like Emma Frost they like that Hellfire Club standard dress.

Sure doesn't hurt any of them at all, does it?

And best of all she just chose to be evil so all that demon stuff fits her for me as a reader.

Oh, for pity's sake! She was dreaming! She didn't realize that she was making a real choice.

She was tricked...

If it works as consolation, later Cable beat the hell out of Sym, and accepted that Maddie was driven to insanity by those demons and not by her own choice

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Maddy at times has been like Jean's sluttier identical twin sister...I know that she's not really like that but...

I should read that issue today

A team-up with which Jean?

I'd like to see Madelyne back in a flight suit and a plane, because that's when she was happy. She only became a villain because of Scott, and it's time Marvel let her get past him and move on. Madelyne and adult Beast now have something in common: They both got a hatchet job from the Marvel PTB for drawing attention to Scott's flaws. Maddie was turned into the Goblin Queen to whitewash Scott's abandonment of his family, and now adult Hank is being trashed for trying to oppose adult Cyke's villainy.

This is an excellent point.
