under Maximuss mind control.[9] Medusa and Black Bolt
were then married and Medusa was made queen, becoming both royal consort and royal interpreter.[10] When
Medusa became pregnant, Attilans Genetics Council argued that the pregnancy should be terminated due to the
possibility of the child inheriting Maximus insanity coupled with Black Bolts immense and destructive power.
Medusa deed the Council and ed to Earth to avoid the
compulsory abortion and live anonymously in the desert
until the child was born, a son named Ahura.[11] Black
Bolt reconciled with Medusa and the pair returned to
Attilan and turned their infant son over to the Genetics
Council. Following these events Ahura was not mentioned or seen in the Marvel Universe for several years.
Later, alongside the Inhumans and the original X-Factor,
she battled Apocalypse.[12] Alongside the Inhumans and
Avengers, she also battled the Brethren.[13]

Medusas primary role among the Inhumans is as interpreter for her liege and husband, the silent but commanding Black Bolt. As such she is an experienced state gure
within the quasi-feudal system of the Inhumans government, and is used to speaking with awareness of regal issues of protocol and comportment. This imperial attitude
is usually tempered by her strong sense of morality and
fairness.[11][14] For the protection of all Inhumans (her

she wasn't relating what he intended. Medusa later condes to Black Bolt that he had never treated her that way
before, as if she were a dog, and Black Bolt responds
apologetically.
Their son, Ahura, also reappears in this series as a mentally unstable adolescent. Medusa argues that Black Bolt
seems not to care that their son is being kept in isolation,
and advises him that despite his orders she has gone to
visit Ahura in his cell on more than one occasion. Black

It was revealed in New Avengers: Illuminati that Black

Bolt had been replaced by a Skrull impostor for an unknown amount of time.[15] The impostor revealed himself to the Illuminati and was killed. Both the sudden rift
between Medusa and Black Bolt apparent in Silent War
and Black Bolts later defeat at the hands of Hulk in World
War Hulk could be attributed to this development, for it is
uncertain just when Black Bolt might have been replaced
by his Skrull duplicate.
When the Secret Invasion begins, the Inhumans part of
the story, by Heroes writer Joe Pokaski, digs into how
the Inhuman Royal Family deals with the news that the
Black Bolt they knew was a Skrull impostor. Medusa is
shown ghting a Skrull that not only possesses her powers, but also possesses the powers of Mister Fantastic.[16]
Medusa heads into Kree space to get Ronan the Accuser
to help look for the Skrull ship containing Black Bolt and
her son.[17] She succeeds in rescuing her family and returning to Attilan.[18]
During the War of Kings storyline, Medusa was with
the Inhumans when they went into space and forged an
alliance with the Kree. When Havok, Lilandra Neramani, and the rest of Havoks Starjammers gained aslyum
from Vulcan and his forces. When Maximus speaks out,
Medusa pushes him aside. When Ronan is wounded in
battle with Vulcans forces, Medusa states to the Shi'ar
that they had made a big mistake and vows that they will
pay for this.[19] Medusa does a broadcast on Black Bolts
behalf and tells the citizens of the Kree Empire that they
have suered an unprovoked assault by the force of the
Shi'ar. The shield that once protected their star system
has fallen. During a discussion with the other members

of the Inhuman Royal Family, Medusa states that Shi'ar

blood will spill in the next ght while trying to keep the
Kree in line.[20] Medusa and Black Bolt approve of Maximus idea to create a mechanism to help them in their
ght against the Shi'ar.[21] Medusa ends up devastated

Her scalp, skull, and neck do not support the weight of an
object that she lifts: It is held aloft by the psionic force
coursing through the hair. Medusa can also perform delicate manipulations with her hair such as lock picking or
threading a needle, and such complex acts of coordination as typing or shuing a deck of cards. Although she
has no nerve endings in her hair, she can feel sensations
on all parts of her hair by a form of mental feedback from
her psionic eld.[29]

Powers and abilities

Medusa possesses a long, thick head of red hair; thanks to

her exposure to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist, every strand
of her hair has greater tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and shear resistance than an iron wire of the same
thickness (average hair diameter: .045 inches). She possesses the psychokinetic ability to animate her hair for a
number of feats, including elongating it to almost twice its
normal length (Medusas hair is approximately 6 feet (1.8
m) in length when relaxed), and using her hair to lift and
move heavy weights (up to 1.6 tons); a portion of her hair
must be used to anchor the rest at these greater weights,
so that more than her scalp/skull is used as a brace.[29]
