You're probably thinking of Scott and Ororo's duel for leadership. This is what Maddie was actually thinking during the duel: (Uncanny X-Men #201, First Series):
And this is the Goblin Queen's revisionist history version during Inferno (X-Factor #38, First Series):"I want Scott to lose, so he'll be coming with us--except losing will break his heart. Oh, why can't it be because he wants to, instead of because he has no other choice?"
(Quoted from memory, aided by https://uncannyxmen.net )"The old leader versus the new. They fought before, you know…Cyclops…versus a powerless Storm. I waited nearby. I knew what was needed. Scott had to be humiliated, defeated, so that he would leave his beloved X-Men and cling only to me. I experienced the fight as a sort of day dream, in which she I got my heart’s desire. And then I learned that Storm had, indeed, won. I didn’t know till later that my nascent powers had awakened ... that I had influenced their battle and that the victory was really mine."
Yes, Madelyne may have been subconsciously influencing the duel, but I don't believe she was intentionally undermining Scott. All she needed for that was her tongue, her temper and the truth: that he had new responsibilities as a husband and new father.

Yea, its a mix of the duel with Storm and her commenting about how she felt Scott slipping away and thought the baby would keep him around. My fault, its been a bit since I read Inferno I'll admit.

Thanks for sharing! Was a fun listen.
I know fans have different feelings about this. I sincerely hope they lean into Fabian's initial treatment of those (Eve, Cain and Abel) characters in Age of Apocalypse where Adam was the only survivor from that lab. I enjoy the mythos of the Summers family, am happy Adam-X is getting his intended due, but am not campaigning for there to be other missing Summers siblings/family members all over the place. Plus I think it would dilute some of Adam's "special-ness" if he were just part of a brood vat (not only to Scott & Alex, but even to Erik the Red and the Crystal Claws who then would've just sought out Eve/Cain/Abel since Adam really wanted no part of the cult or their plan).
Folks still mad at Scott for ruining the Schism/Make-the-X-Men-Great-Again era by turning it into an hilariously unintentional rom-com/horror movie. Oh well.
Anyway. Hickman's PCClops still as PC and non-controversial as ever? Finally gotten over the urge to punch XoS in the face, but I'm still in no hurry whatsoever to pick up an x-book.
The gag is I didnt realize there werent X-men until Hickman said there wasnt in XOS
Scott and Jean basically staged a not-really-Coup against the not-really-wrong-in-this-instance-Council because Logan and Ororo are the worst freakin' teensitters ever. 'Whatever' pretty much sums my thoughts on the matter.
Politically Correct. Hickman's idea of fixing/redeeming the character was to basically strip the character of all his likable/unlikable traits.
CouldnotpossiblyoffendanyoneeverClops just didn't have much of a ring to it.
