From Wiki- Medusa (Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Fantastic Four #36 (1965). Her name and aspects of the character are derived from Greek mythology, as her hair has prehensile attributes like that of the mythological Medusa's hair. The character has psychokinetic control over her hair, a power she obtained through Terrigenesis.
With this power, she can extend her hair to double its normal length,
using it to pick locks, lift objects, and contain objects and people.
She is the queen of the Inhumans, is wife of the king Black Bolt and mother of Ahura. Back to me now:I don't recall when I met the Inhumans, though Medusa had left the Frightful Four by that time, so I was confused about her being a villain for a time. Older comics were hard to come by, unless friends had older brothers. And even then, you might only get part of a story. Still, she is my favorite Inhuman, and this story, which I read in The Superhero Women way back when, is a fun one. It mostly revolves around a sleazy salesman tricking Medusa. Jazzy Johnny Romita sure could draw good looking people, I'll tell you what.
Pete sure has a way with redheads, doesn't he? This is from the 1981 cartoon series, the one before the Amazing Friends. I am sure the writers knew nothing about Black Bolt, hence Medusa liking Peter. It is an interesting thought.And hey, I haven't done two pictures in over a decade!
