Amazing Spider-Man #62 Jul 1968
"Make Way for... Medusa!"
While web-slinging through the city, Spider-Man's web is cut by Medusa's Mono Cruiser, and the two engage in a brief battle

before it's learned that Medusa has come on a good will mission on behalf of the Inhuman nation.
Spider-Man decides to leave and let be having more important things to worry about.
As Medusa is being convinced by Montgomery G. Bliss, owner of Heavenly Hair-Spray,
to partake in an advertising campaign -- Peter Parker tries to patch things up with Gwen, to no avail.

When Medusa gets fed up of dealing with the fickleness of Bliss' corporate image, she goes on a rampage in his office before leaving.
Spotting Spider-Man nearby, Bliss gets an idea to trick Spider-Man into a fight with Medusa
and have a hidden camera man take pictures of the fight to try and salvage his campaign.

Spider-Man takes the bait and attacks Medusa,


however during their fight the truth comes out and Spider-Man lets Medusa free.
Fed up with her treatment in New York, Medusa decides to leave and return to the hidden land.
Spider-Man then ruins Bliss' hope of capitalizing on the photos by telling the press that Medusa was wild and out of control.

This is Medusa at her most regal.



Queen of the Kree, she has an audience with deposed Shi'ar Majestrix Lilandra who humbly kneels before her and Black Bolt, and then coolly cuts-off her warning about the Imperial Guard. Man, she was so self-assured in this page.

Regal to Powerfully Intimidating and I Completely LOVE IT!!!

Honestly these are reasons WHY Medusa is my 3rd Favorite Marvel Character as of Right Now and Likely a LONG-TIME to Come, she is Vibrants a Sense of Power and Control of any Situations she is in with a the Royal Regal to Back it Up So Much!

It is a beautiful cover. I lover how Dauterman treats her hair. It's not simply hanging limp by her side.

Why's she crying? She dumped him.

Marvel Super-Heroes #15 Jul 1968
"Let the Silence Shatter!"
Searching for a way to restore her beloved Black Bolt's voice,

the Wizard offers his technology to Medusa in return for her returning to her criminal ways in the Frightful Four.
Medusa reluctantly agrees, and helps them steal a rare sample of Quadranium 99.

However she later rebels when she finds out the Wizard has no intention of helping Black Bolt.
She seals the rest of the Frightful Four in their space capsule headed into outer space.

Medusa appears to fall to her doom, but is caught in mid-air by Black Bolt who had been monitoring Medusa's activities.
The Quadranium 99 is also lost to space, though Medusa takes solace in the fact that at least the Wizard will be unable to use it for evil.

The Medusa Effect...and the Original X-Factor!

The Medusa Effect...and the Original X-Factor!

Ok you know how many were "Marvel is just making Inhumans Mutants, they can't use their concepts" I feel like I should make a tally on who did what first and who used it latter.

Here, she went full X-Man:

Ok you know how many were "Marvel is just making Inhumans Mutants, they can't use their concepts" I feel like I should make a tally on who did what first and who used it latter.

I think the "problem" lies in the fact that inhuman lore was very sparse, and you would have to have read FF, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. to know it all. Utopia/Genosha is a mutant Attilan, and Silent War and Paul Jenkins "Inhumans" was the government against the inhumans. People felt threatened by their own ignorance.
