Fans are still arguing over
Spoiler:
whether that was the real Madelyne or a Warskrull disguised as her. She threw a tantrum that told uninformed readers everything they needed to know about who Madelyne Pryor is.Now fans are debating whether a woman in X-Men: The End Book 2 #1 is Dust, Maddie posing as Dust, or a Warskrull posing as Maddie posing as Dust. 😕
she was pretty much i psycho path in my piont of view but i still love her and go to http://www.uncannyxmen.net and then go to spot lights and look 4 maddys
Before you dismiss Madelyne as nothing more than a psychopath, consider Scott's observation in the first X-men/Alpha Flight mini. Ordinary humans, including Maddie, have acquired super-powers. Madelyne has become a healer, Anodyne. Scott tells his wife, "Interesting, the way these new powers seem to reflect primal aspects of your lives and personalities." "YOUR", not "THEIR". IOW, Scott recognizes healing as an expression of Maddie's fundamental nature. Anodyne was at least as much a part of Madelyne's true self as the Goblin Queen.
Later in the mini, they're hurrying to depart ahead of a blizzard when Scott leaves the plane in search of Rachel. Someone asks if they should go after him. Madelyne, as the pilot, responsibly decides, "NO! No-one else leaves the plane! We'll wait as long as we can, but I won't--I can't--sacrifice your lives, even for my husband." This woman--who has only recently learned she's pregnant--is putting her passengers' safety above her own personal desires. This is not the act of a psychopath.
Madelyne was a gutsy, loving woman. In UNX #215, we saw her brought back to consciousness by the thought of "something terribly, infinitely, irreplaceably precious--MY BABY!!?" For love of her child, she pitted ordinary human skill and courage against mutant powers and high-tech weaponry. She had a chance to escape: she could have waited till Arclight and Scalphunter had passed her hiding place, then run the other way. Instead, she attacked them--with a trashcan. "They grabbed me and my son. They won't keep either of us." She doesn't quit till she's shot dpwn and left comatose.
She also had a lively sense of humor. If you can find it, read the letter column in which Maddie responds to readers' comments about UNX #176--the honeymoon issue. It is totally hilarious, and I'll be grateful to anyone who is willing and able to put it online.
