Was Madelyne Pryor always evil or was there a certain time where she was turned evil?
Madelyne Pryor
Character » Madelyne Pryor appears in 1141 issues.
Madelyne Pryor is Cyclops's first wife, Cable's mother, and a clone of Jean Grey created by Mr. Sinister. After Cyclops abandoned her and her son, she was tricked and seduced by demons to harness great demonic power.
Was she always bad?
"She is a character that sways from good to evil (and vice-versa). Originally she was good, but a pawn of Mr. Sinister. Then she went evil, attacked Jean, and died. Then she was a shell and good as an ally of X-Man, and now she is a shell but bad and leader of the sisterhood."
yeah, they were married and eventually had children - Cable. He dumped her when he found out she was a clone and the real Jean was alive etc and she went nuts.
The recent issue of Uncanny lends weight to the argument that the leader of the Sisterhood isn't Madelyne Pryor btw, if she was Made (a clone of Jean) she would already have access to Jean's genetic data, as it is hers also.
"She wasn't evil until Marvel decided that Claremont writing Cyclops out of the X-Books was unacceptable and decided to bring back Scott and Jean. With Jean back, they needed Maddie gone and what better way to get rid of somebody than make them go completely crazy to justify a massive crossover where they can eventually kill the character off.
"Scott abandoned her. it was a dick move on his part. "
" Didn't S'ym kill everyone except Storm? "
Madelyne was a good character until that boring idiot Cyclops abandoned her and there child. She grew to resent/hate him (and Jean) for destroying their family and that hatred drove her insane. This process also awakened her latent mutant powers (telepathy and telekinesis). Then the demon N'astirh used that pain to turn her evil (into the Goblin Queen) and also boosted her power using black magic...the rest is history i guess...

Poor Maddy. She wasn't always bad, very awesomely, she was rather normal, so not really good or bad, (well most people by default are good so)
Her first couple of early issues, paint her as a pretty kind and stand up character. Very likable. I read X-Men in chronological order so really had no idea what she would become, it may have tainted how I approached her. I wonder if other people will ask a similar question of Bishop if he never gets redeemed.
I really like Madelyne! (: just putting it out there.
I thought she was a good villain and when she created the Sisterhood was one of my fave comic moments :D
As for who i liked better maddy has to take the trophy girl did most of the x-men's job without powers! She was basically forge or beast in the australian out back fortress they had before they went were gonna derail her completely! Even crazy she was a better character, her quotes were amazing too lol! her odd resurrection in x-man i liked, that maddy up until she was impersonated by imposter jean! Also her current sisterhood i only liked it coz it reminded me of inferno maddy, but it tottally sucked timeline wise as maddy was on good terms with cyclops and cable the last time she was seen. She was totally out of character in the sisterhood arc, unless there gonna use the split personality thing and say x-man maddy was non crazy maddy and sisterhood was her goblin queen persona. i personally hope someone takes over who bliming does there research!! stupid writers not doing background checks on there selected characters really annoy's me! ok rant over ROFL!
