Demons:

In her bitterness she was even willing to sacrifice her own son to gain revenge on the world. In the end, she was willing to die if she could at least take one of her enemies with her.

Sinister was able to grow an adult clone of Jean, before the original was replaced by the Phoenix. The clone itself exhibited none of Jean’s powers, and it had none of her memories.

Then came the day when the Phoenix, after taking Jean’s place, allowed itself to be killed on the Blue Area of the Moon. Phoenix allowed this because it feared it might revert to the Dark Phoenix again. A small portion of the Phoenix Force survived and rushed to Jamaica Bay, where the real Jean Gray slept in a healing pod. It tried to enter Jean’s body, but Jean rejected it because it still bore images of death and destruction. Desperate, it sensed the clone and rushed to it.

The surprised Sinister watched a fiery phoenix form surround the clone. The clone cried out “Scott” and then passed out. Sinister soon learned about Phoenix and came up with a plan. He intended to mate his clone with Scott Summers, which would hopefully produce a powerful mutant offspring that Sinister could control.

Madelyne and Scott lived happily for a while in Anchorage, but he suddenly left her with no explanations. Unknown to her, he had returned to New York City, where the supposedly dead Jean Gray had been found by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Scott, Jean, and the other original X-Men then formed X-Factor.

Madelyne eventually saw news reports about X-Factor and realized what had happened. Angry and bitter, she refused to talk to Scott when he called her. At this point, Sinister felt that it was time to claim the baby and kill Madelyne. He arranged for Madelyne to make a special delivery flight for the air freight service. Sinister somehow mentally compelled her to take the baby along. During one of the flight’s stops, Madelyne was attacked by the Marauders. She escaped, subconsciously using her powers again, but the baby was captured by the Marauders.

Madelyne stayed with the X-Men for protection from the Marauders. She later sacrificed her life in Dallas, along with the X-Men, to stop the Adversary from taking over the Earth. She was also with the X-Men when they were resurrected by Roma. Madelyne then joined the X-Men in their move to the abandoned Reaver base in Australia.

One night, while she was working with the advanced computer system, she fell asleep and was somehow contacted by the Limbo demon lord, N’Astrish. Sensing her power, and her inner bitterness, he offered her power for revenge. She gave into the dark portion of her soul, and took him up on the bargain. N’Astrish somehow used dark Limbo magick to awaken the latent powers Madelyne possessed.

Madelyne then began to corrupt the X-Men from within. She censored incoming news about X Factor, only allowing the X-Men to know the worst. Madelyne also seduced Scott’s brother, Alex (Havok).

When Inferno began, Madelyne became the Goblin Queen, one of the evil beings behind the Inferno. N’Astrish took her to Sinister’s base, where her son was being kept. Madelyne easily beat Sinister and regained her child. She was also able to learn her complete history from Sinister. More bitter than ever, she vowed to sacrifice her own son to open the gateway to Limbo.

Soon, a running battle erupted in the streets of New York City, between the Goblin Queen, the X-Men, and X Factor. Most of the X-Men had given into the darker side of their natures. Havok gave in completely, becoming Madelyne’s Goblin Prince.

Finally, at the top of the trans formed Empire State Building, the final confrontation between Jean and Madelyne began. While they were locked in mental combat, Jean learned all about Madelyne’s distorted life. The X-Men and X-Factor, working together, broke through a force field that the Goblin Queen had placed around herself and Jean. They pressed the Goblin Queen back, and Scott was able to regain possession of his son.

Sensing defeat, the Goblin Queen tried to kill everyone in a massive blast of energy. The members of both teams worked together so that no one was hurt. The Goblin Queen took the brunt of the blast, fatally injuring herself.

Dying, she forced Jean into a mental lock, meaning to carry Jean to her death alongside her. Suddenly, the Phoenix Force within the Goblin Queen offered Jean a deal. If Jean would allow it to enter her, the Phoenix would break the mental lock and save Jean from death. Jean reluctantly agreed, and Madelyne died alone.
