And lest we forget...she wanted to sacrifice her own son to open a portal to Limbo so that there'll be literally Hell on Earth. If that isn't classic villainy...
Personally, I want and love her to be the X-Men's Next Big Bad. Peacock Man and Orchis are boring trash. And she needs to spectacularly obliterate Sinister at some point.
It's time for the Reign of the Goblin Queen.

That was some character assassination crap the Simonson's wrote to try and redeem Scott and Jean in the X-Factor issues of Inferno. Their Maddy bore no resemblance to the one Claremont created and fleshed out in Uncanny. That is why I reject it. She went from risking everything to find her son, to suicidal child killing harpie at the drop of a dime. The bad part is for all the damage done to Maddy it didn't make Scott into any less of a jerk.
Why on Earth would Jean need to be redeemed? Scott and the rest of the O5 kept secret his marriage and child, and when Jean finally found out about Madelyne and Nathan, she rebuked him for leaving his family and refused to be with him. Jean also pushed him on more than one occasion to reach out and return to Madelyne and Nathan. Not to mention, she surrendered her soul to Mephisto to save Scott's wife and child - an act even the ruler of "Hell" was impressed by. It was only after Madelyne was believed dead that Jean gradually warmed up to Scott again, and even after they started seeing each other once more, she turned down his marriage proposal.
During the climax of Inferno, Jean, who had just found out she had been cloned and had her memories shared with said clone, did nothing but empathize with and try to help Madelyne, who, by that point, had tried killing her and her demon-morphed parents. I really wish people would stop conflating Scott's behavior with Jean's. She did nothing wrong and was always the voice of reason in this sordid triangle into which she was thrust.
On another note, I hope they have something better in store for Madelyne than returning as a thong-wearing demon sorceress hellbent on destroying everyone again. I don't know how those who are true fans of her as she was initially created and introduced by Claremont can take the perpetual dragging over through the mud of this character.
Don't let anyone else hold the candle that lights the way to your future because only you can sustain the flame.

I've been a "true fan" (wetf that means) of Maddie from day one, as introduced by Claremont.
At least I understand the character's growth, development and "being dragged through the mud" and her demise...ALL of which was orchestrated by Claremont himself. Louise worked closely with him to get to the conclusion in X-Factor, but Inferno was Claremont's story.
So...if you want to be mad at somebody for making her a "thong-wearing Demon Sorceress" be mad at Claremont, the man who created and introduced her and put her in that (classic and iconic) Underboob outfit.
Thong-Wearing Demon Sorceresses RULE!!!

I hope they don't go "over the top" with her into demonic Hell-Queen caricature (which would be so easy and unfortunate).
I really like how they write Amahl Farouk...thoughtful, scheming, nuanced...so I hope we get that level of quiet and calculating villainy, just with more demons and magic.

I'm pretty sure we will which is what excites me the most if Vita can bring their usual brand of introspective writing and apply it to Maddie this might just be the best title Maddie will have been in years.
I think the problem with Maddie's character is that she hasn't been written introspectively in decades. So I'm hoping we see more of Maddie instead of the goblin Queen persona.
