Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Madelyne Jennifer Pryor-Summers is a Marvel Universe mutant super villain associated with the X-Men. She debuted in Uncanny X-Men #168 In 1983.During Jean Grey's first death, Cyclops flew to Alaska with his family, where he met Madelyne, a charming, red-headed commercial airline pilot, who looked exactly like Jean. They fell in love, married, and had a son together, Nathan Summers (Better known as Cable).Then Jean Grey came Back from the Dead and Cyclops left Madelyne alone with their son to go back to superheroing, just in time for her to be targeted by Mister Sinister and the Marauders. As it turned out, her entire past was faked. She was actually a clone of Jean, but was deemed a failure until Jean died on the moon and a shard of the Phoenix's power and Jean's soul ended up getting caught in the clone, creating Madelyne. Sinister then programmed her with Fake Memories. Sinister then planned to used her as a "brood mare" to produce the next generation of powerful mutants and deliberately manipulated events so she would encounter Scott and the two would fall in love.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })She barely survives the attack by the Marauders, who successfully kidnap Nathan. She grows extremely resentful of Scott for having abandoned her and their child, which only grows when she learns he and Jean got back together. This is when demons from Illyana Rasputin's realm of Limbo contact her, offering her a Deal with the Devil in order to get Revenge on, Scott, Sinister and Jean. She accepted, and becomes the Goblin Queen, starting the events of the Inferno story arc, until she dies and her psyche is reconciled into Jean's.She has since been brought Back from the Dead, and has become an antagonist in numerous X-Men stories, having been associated with the Hellfire Club and even led her villain group called "The Sisterhood of Mutants".

comment
Expendable Clone: The assumptions of Executive Meddling assumed that retconning Madelyne into this (as well as into other things) would make it easy to kill her off and that readers would permanently forget her. But as she had been given considerable Character Development even before this, and nowadays the increasing appearances of the trope of Clones Are People, Too, seem to have recently helped Pryor get Rescued from the Scrappy Heap.

comment
The Ghost: In Chris Claremont's X-Men Forever series, Pryor never appears but gets mentioned by others several times. And each time they mention her either kindly or in sadness. In every other comic title written by others, whenever anyone mentions her, it's always contemptuously or in total indifference.

Pay Evil unto Evil: During the first Genosha story arc, which takes place between her original Deal with the Devil and Inferno itself, Madelyne is kidnapped by the Genoshans, who intend to physically and mentally enslave her through the Mutate Bonding Process. She uses her newfound, demonic powers to lash out and kill everyone in the room with her.

Aborted Arc
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: Originally Madelyne was not intended to be Jean's clone at all, but instead an Identical Stranger (which has some Unfortunate Implications on its own for Cyclops, but isn't as bad as the eventual marital abandonment he'd pull). Of course, this made Maddie in practice just a Replacement Goldfish for Jean, and after the writers got permission to bring Jean Back from the Dead they no longer needed Madelyne. But since she and Scott were Happily Married by this time and had a child, simply having her fade into the background wasn't an option. Hence her very swift turn to the dark side. Another one occurs in X-Man. The entire first half of the run has a subplot involving Madelyne and the Hellfire Club, which appeared to be leading up to a showdown between Madelyne and Selene for the title of Black Queen. Then, abruptly and without fanfare Madelyne just walked away from the Club, turning her back on a carefully built alliance/partnership with Sebastian Shaw to go looking for Nate Grey with no reason given in-story or out. Details are scarce, but it is presumed this arc was just of the many 90s plots that fell by the wayside thanks to the high creator turnover and backstage politics of the period.

More Than Mind Control: During Inferno she convinced Havok to join her side as the 'Goblin Prince'. Initially this appears to be a straight up case of Mind Control, but when fighting his brother Alex reveals that he isn't being controlled, and instead chose to help Madelyne out of disgust at how Scott treated her.

comment
Tomato in the Mirror: Unlike many cases of Cloning Blues, Maddie was allowed to live on her own and believe her life was her own, which in many ways made the eventual reveal all the more cruel. Imagine finding out one day that the first 20-30 years of your life never happened because your memories of them, all those private experiences you thought were yours, actually belonged to and happened to someone else. As causes to Go Mad from the Revelation go, few are more horrifying on a personal human scale than hers.

Death Is Cheap
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_37fcf16
comment
Death Is Cheap: She was killed in Inferno, resurrected by Nate Grey, killed again (possibly) by an evil alternate version of Jean, showed up as a psychic ghost to Cyclops and Cable on the Astral Plane, then resurrected again (maybe) as the Red Queen, where she died yet again. The fans took bets on how long it would stick. Indeed, she came back in X-Men (2013). And then, it appears that she is shot dead in Hellions.

Out-of-Clothes Experience: During the Nightmare Sequence where Scott takes away all her clothes and facial features, leaving her a featureless Barbie Doll Anatomy all alone in a giant desert. She wanders aimlessly until she falls into an oasis and surfaces naked from the water with all of her features returned, with Lens Flare Censor covering up her bits. Then the Limbo demon S’ym shows up and drapes her in a black cape, the same she will wear when she adopts her Goblin Queen identity in the future, with the whole sequence working as a rebirth metaphor.

Personality Powers: Not as the Goblyn Queen, but in her original incarnation as just Madelyne Pryor she was granted powers from a magic Asgardian fountain. And because was a firmly good, well-adjusted and even selfless person under her original creator's pen, she manifested Healing Hands powers and became Anodyne, a healer so skilled she even cured Rogue of her Power Incontinence. This was probably the happiest period of Madelyne's life; sadly, it was too good to last.

Wet Blanket Wife: Scott and Madelyne slammed into this trope the moment she became a wife and mother. Beforehand, Madelyne had been presented as a patient and understanding woman who had her own adventurous side as a cargo pilot. However, after she became married and settle down as a housewife, she began complaining that Cyclops spent all his time as an X-Man instead of at home helping to raise their son. Things escalated to the point that when Jean Grey was discovered alive, Cyclops felt obligated to spend time reconnecting with her rather than fix his strained marriage.

Bad Powers, Bad People: In addition to her Psychic Powers, at the height of her Goblyn Queen phase, Madelyne could draw out the innate evil in things and people, which she used to turn the X-Men against X-Factor.

Parental Incest: With Nate Grey, alternate reality cloned son of Cyclops and Jean Grey, and technically Maddie's son's alternate reality counterpart. While he immediately backed off on that aspect of their relationship once he figured out their relationship, her... well, it's complicated, but she was something of a Clingy Jealous Girl, a classic Tsundere and the cover art of X-Man #41 had a giant Maddie holding Nate between two fingers and licking her lips◊. It really didn't help that the letters page had some readers enthusiastically shipping them.

Replacement Goldfish: She was only this because the writers couldn't bring Jean outright back at the time. In-Universe, Nate seemed to function as this to her for Cable (her son, whom he was an AU counterpart of), while she seemed to function as this to him for Jean (being the clone of his AU mother). Add in the UST in all of their interactions and you have one hell of a messed up relationship.

Came Back Strong: Her numerous resurrections seem to have had this effect, as after the first one she took on both Nate Grey and Jean Grey at once and was having the best of that encounter - though it has to be noted that she was draining Nate's powers at the time. On her third resurrection courtesy of Arkea she proved capable of flattening Rachel Grey in one shot.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: She learned that she was a clone of Jean Grey and was abandoned by her husband, Scott Summers (who fell in love with her because of her obvious similarity to Jean, though neither knew she was a clone at the time, assuming it to just be mere coincidence that they looked exactly alike), when he reunited with Jean, after Jean returned from the dead. Then Maddie's infant son was kidnapped and she was left for dead. She has a daydream where she's ripped apart to build the woman her husband actually wants and then is offered revenge. Thinking that it's just a dream, she accepts, which, naturally, leaves her possessed by a demon and willing to sacrifice her baby (whom she finally has the power to find) to allow the demons of Limbo to take over the Earth.

Transformation Horror
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_7eda7f78

Transformation Horror: Likely a form of reality warping; one of her most potent abilities as the Goblyn Queen. She could transform people into demonic minions, though it apparently only worked on powerless or vulnerable humans. She transformed Jean Grey's parents into demonic lackeys, but failed to do the same to Colossus (in one what-if tale she did successfully demonize Wolverine, but he retained enough of his humanity to turn on her in the story's climax).

Derailing Love Interests: Was originally introduced as a Nice Girl and a Suspiciously Similar Substitute to Jean after her death, to be a Love Interest to Scott so they could get Happily Married and retire. But then it was decided Scott wouldn't retire and she started to shift from an Nice Girl to a Wet Blanket Wife. Then his previous Love Interest Jean came Back from the Dead and Scott quickly abandoned Madelyne so he and Jean could be back to being an Official Couple. But since Scott abandoning Madelyne just like that made him into a Jerkass, the writers decided to make Madelyne more unsympathetic by turning her into a demonic supervillain who was even capable of killing her own child.

Heel–Face Revolving Door: In X-Man she starts off as Nate's "guardian angel" (good) before abandoning him to study the dark arts under Selene (bad), under Selene's patronage she beats the snot out of Jerkass Trevor Fitzroy (good) but then has a major breakdown after Threnody drops one truth bomb too many on her, killing Thren and trashing Nate and Jean Grey in the bargain (bad). She forges an alliance with Sebastian Shaw to undermine Selene (grey area), only to walk away from the Club and rejoin Nate (good). After using her family ties and history of villainy to get in with Stryfe and betray him to the heroes it looked like Maddie had finally settled on Good Is Not Nice, but her storyline in the title abruptly ended when she was seemingly aged to a decrepit state after an ordnance strike from some Z-list villains.

Throw the Dog a Bone: Fans never stop pestering Marvel about Pryor, so in order to placate them (i.e. to shut them up for once), for the past several years Marvel has featured her in some alternate-reality titles (e.g.: the Mutant X series; the X-Men: The End limited-series) in which Pryor pretty much came out ahead in the end. But those didn't satisfy the fans, so in 2014 Marvel finally gave in and brought her back in the "prime reality", and let her escape whole and healthy. Then she was included in the Secret Wars (2015) crossover event, especially in an Inferno redux tie-in storyline. That series ended with Maddie finally winning and getting to kill Mister Sinister for all he did to her. This version of Maddie also made the jump to the main marvel universe after Secret Wars.

Atrocious Alias
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_9a91603e
comment
Atrocious Alias: Such a childish-sounding moniker as "Goblyn Queen" has been hard to take seriously from the start. Marvel's staffers seem to be aware of this, because (except in some alternate-reality stories) Pryor has never been called the Goblyn Queen since Inferno concluded in 1989. note Until Secret Wars (2015). After not using any alias on Madelyne Pryor since 1989 (the "Black Rook" alias barely applied), in 2009's Sisterhood story arc Marvel tried calling her the "Red Queen". But after Disney's Alice in Wonderland (2010), apparently Marvel decided they couldn't use that moniker anymore, so no alias was mentioned when Pryor returned again in 2014. During her return in Hellions, though outfitted like the Goblin Queen again, she is not called that or any other alias (except "kween", by a pair speaking with deformed mouths). She is referred to only by her name all throughout.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_9c45b5a2

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Her status as a clone for Jean is a constant source of anguish for her, especially since many treat her as disposable due to it. In Dawn of X, the Quiet Council even votes against resurrecting Madelyne precisely because she's just a clone.

Shortly after Scott's abandonment and Nathan's kidnapping, she finds herself being consoled by Scott's brother, Alex Summers/Havok. As she slowly succumbs to the demonic corruption, she starts to give him sexual advances, which he reluctantly accepts due to his own hangs ups after his failed relationship with Lorna. After a Sexy Discretion Shot, we cut a post-coital Madelyne, still dispassionately staring at Alex sleeping.

And I Must Scream: How she was tricked into making a Deal with the Devil. The demons S'ym and N'astirh sent her visions, which she thought were just nightmares, of her husband taking their baby son away from her and then systematically taking away all her physical features — clothes, then hair, then mouth and nose and eyes — and putting them on a featureless mannequin revealed to be Jean Grey. When it's done, Jean is real again and Maddie is the featureless mannequin, unable to even scream. They walk away happily and with the baby, leaving the naked and faceless Maddie to struggle alone through a blistering wasteland burning her away. Major Nightmare Fuel for anyone who read that issue as a kid, or even as an adult.

Fashion Dissonance: When artist Marc Silvestri originally designed the Goblin Queen costume in 1988, thigh-high boots were associated with tramps and prostitutes, note remember a hit 1990 film? influencing the artist's design choice.

Face–Heel Turn
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_af3ea0e3
comment
Face–Heel Turn: Overlaps with Retcon to some degree, as Maddie was established during Inferno as succumbing to her darker side much earlier than anyone suspected, doing things like subconsciously manipulating the duel for leadership of the X-Men between Cyclops and Storm so Cyclops would lose and intentionally manipulating the news feed the Australian outback X-Men team was receiving on their counterparts X-Factor (who were getting some bad press at the time) to put the two teams at odds well before she snapped and became the Goblyn Queen. Heel–Face Revolving Door: In X-Man she starts off as Nate's "guardian angel" (good) before abandoning him to study the dark arts under Selene (bad), under Selene's patronage she beats the snot out of Jerkass Trevor Fitzroy (good) but then has a major breakdown after Threnody drops one truth bomb too many on her, killing Thren and trashing Nate and Jean Grey in the bargain (bad). She forges an alliance with Sebastian Shaw to undermine Selene (grey area), only to walk away from the Club and rejoin Nate (good). After using her family ties and history of villainy to get in with Stryfe and betray him to the heroes it looked like Maddie had finally settled on Good Is Not Nice, but her storyline in the title abruptly ended when she was seemingly aged to a decrepit state after an ordnance strike from some Z-list villains.

Retcon

comment
Retcon: Very late in the X-Man title and some time after Madelyne herself had disappeared, a new villain was introduced calling herself Queen Jean. This character claimed to have been the Madelyne Pryor Nate knew "from the very start", impersonating Pryor to get close to Nate. The story went back and forth on whether this was true or if Queen Jean was just a maniac screwing with Nate. By the time he finally killed her, fans and the story had both settled on an uneasy option B, but the identity shenanigans didn't end with Queen Jean's death. Between Queen Jean, the Red Queen and her own issues with the real Jean, it is safe to say this character has had one of the most complicated identity crisis in all of fiction.

Came Back Wrong: Her first resurrection courtesy of Nate Grey was somewhat this, as she was not actually a living, breathing person, but rather a physical manifestation of psionic energy that was to some degree still tainted by her corruption and death.

First time around, when Scott asked if she was, she just slapped him. By the time she'd gone full evil, her reaction was to turn Jean's parents into demons (in their defence, they saw a woman who looked exactly like their daughter in front of them.)

Happily Married: Subverted. Originally she was introduced to give Cyclops a way to retire from superheroics, as Chris Claremont's original vision for the X-Men was for the older members to retire and the new guard to gradually take their place. But since comic books are the patron medium for Status Quo Is God obviously that couldn't happen and their marriage slowly fell apart. And then eventually Marvel's Powers That Be decided that Status Quo Is Boring As Hell, so Cyclops and Jean Grey would also fall under the same subverted marriage trope.

Shout-Out

Shout-Out: Named after the Steeleye Span folk singer Maddy Prior. Whoever at Marvel came up with the "Goblyn Queen" moniker,note either Chris Claremont, or Louise Simonson (since the "Goblin Queen" name appeared for the first time in X-Factor, which Simonson was the writer at that time), or a committee of both he/she/they must have been obsessed with a 1986 film which featured a fanserviced "Goblin King" who abducts babies.note And get this: Marvel did a comic-book adaptation of the film in question (look here), drawn by veteran artist John Buscema. A couple of years later, shortly before the Inferno crossover started, Buscema and Chris Claremont were collaborating on the Wolverine (volume 2) solo series. In Uncanny X-Men #238, a vision of Pryor as a little girl in a field of daisies, followed by a nuclear explosion, might have been an apeing of an infamous 1964 presidential campaign commercial.

Broken Bird: Starting from the marriage disintegrating to up until the start of Inferno, for four meta-years Pryor was characterized as being this. Then subverted entirely during Inferno which recharacterized Pryor as being all Hate Sink with zero redeeming qualities or actions. Co-scripter Louise Simonson later boasted of deliberately working to destroy the character to make killing her off easy and justifiable. Main-scripter Chris Claremont seemed slightly regretful of what was done, and years later snuck Pryor into a few X-Men flashback stories with her original, likable characterization, and also into an alternate future story which gave her a redemption.

Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Had Marvel just dropped her (and her son) out of the picture without word or hype, she likely would've just faded into obscurity and been forgotten, just like most minor supporting characters in superhero comics. But by making her the center of such a massive send-off, and also then seemingly into a Martyred victim of both Executive Meddling and Marvel believing that Viewers Are Morons, these probably secured her a place as an established character and averted becoming one of the later Dork Age rejects.

Male Gaze: Arguably even more-so than from the infamous costume top, Pryor's Goblin Queen costume included what might be politely called a "crotch thong".

Start of Darkness
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_e0040f41
comment
Start of Darkness: Madelyne was was originally a pilot who ran into Scott Summers after the death of Jean Grey, and caught his attention because she looked exactly like Jean. After a fairly long run with the X-Men and a stable relationship with Scott that resulted in the birth of Nathan Summers (a.k.a. Cable), Madelyne discovered two things in rapid succession that had a major effect on her; first, that she was a clone of Jean Grey created by Mr. Sinister to bear Scott's child so that he (Sinister) could have a weapon to defeat his nemesis Apocalypse, and second, that Jean was still alive and that Scott had left her to go find her and return to the X-Men. This was combined with her house being invaded by Sinister, her son being kidnapped, her being shot, and a dream that involved Scott stealing all of her facial features to create Jean, then leave with their baby, and leaving a faceless, mouthless Madelyne to walk through a desert until she ran into a demon that offered her a Deal with the Devil. Thinking (or hoping) that it was All Just a Dream, Madelyn agreed... and was promptly subjected to Demonic Possession, leading to the events of Inferno. Oh, and afterwards her son was sent into the future, and came back as an adult, meaning she missed most of his life. She never really recovered. Being resurrected by as a psychic vampire by an alternate counterpart of said son, Nate Grey, did not help.

Sex for Solace
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_e11027bb
comment
Sex for Solace: Shortly after Scott's abandonment and Nathan's kidnapping, she finds herself being consoled by Scott's brother, Alex Summers/Havok. As she slowly succumbs to the demonic corruption, she starts to give him sexual advances, which he reluctantly accepts due to his own hangs ups after his failed relationship with Lorna. After a Sexy Discretion Shot, we cut a post-coital Madelyne, still dispassionately staring at Alex sleeping. In X-Man, after an anguished encounter with Jean and Nate, Madelyne shows up at Sebastian Shaw's bedroom and starts stripping while telling him not to say anything, with the last shot of her Toplessness from the Back while advancing towards him in bed as the scene cuts away.

comment
Mama Bear: Subverted. At the start of Inferno, she's pulling out all the stops to get her baby back from Sinister... then it turns out she just wants to sacrifice him to turn New York City into Hell on Earth. She only wanted to make Hell on Earth after Sinister revealed her origins. However, upon meeting adult Cable, she has some soft spots to him and still recognizes him as her son. Just◊ look◊. At one point, after explaining how she was created and, by proxy, how Nathan was born◊, she even offered him that We Can Rule Together, which he obviously refused. When she, Cyclops, and Cable were trapped in the astral plane thanks to Apocalypse, Cable asked to be reunited for the first time with his father and mother. Maddie granted his wish and they reunited at the Astral Plane, she offered them to stay like that so they can be together forever.

Flanderization
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: Madelyne as the Goblyn Queen during Inferno was very much Not Herself, being subject to intense trauma and demonic influence to descend into that state, yet as of 2020 the event has more or less completely defined her character. This started with an alternate-reality depiction of Maddie in the 2015 Secret Wars event, in which she had conquered New York during Inferno and still ruled it. After this, however, Jonathan Hickman chose to push the reset button on her hard, reverting her to the Goblyn Queen for her appearance in the new Hellions title even though the demons who corrupted her are long dead. This, in the midst of a story trying its absolute hardest to break the Status Quo Is God rut no less.

Identical Stranger
 Madelyne Pryor (Comic Book) / int_f27ec906
comment
Originally Madelyne was not intended to be Jean's clone at all, but instead an Identical Stranger (which has some Unfortunate Implications on its own for Cyclops, but isn't as bad as the eventual marital abandonment he'd pull). Of course, this made Maddie in practice just a Replacement Goldfish for Jean, and after the writers got permission to bring Jean Back from the Dead they no longer needed Madelyne. But since she and Scott were Happily Married by this time and had a child, simply having her fade into the background wasn't an option. Hence her very swift turn to the dark side.
