Biography[]
Origin[]
Heather Douglas was the daughter of Arthur Douglas and Yvette Steckley, and grew up in Los Angeles, California. When she was still a child, her parents and she were driving through the valley when they unwittingly spotted an alien scout ship that belonged to the demogogue known as Thanos. Thanos ordered his people to destroy the vehicle, so as to leave no witnesses. Heather survived the crash, but her parents were killed. She would learn later that her father would be resurrected as Drax the Destroyer and outfitted to destroy Thanos.
A'Lars of Titan recovered the orphaned Heather and brought her to the moon where she was raised in a monastery by monks of Shao-Lorn. There, she learned body hardening techniques, meditation, and unlocked her innate psychokinetic powers.
Madame MacEvil[]
Thanos waged an attack on Titan and destroyed the Shao-Lorn monastery. Heather managed to escape in a space ship and made her way towards Earth. Calling herself Madame MacEvil, she decided to study Earth's superhumans, hoping to use them as a counter-measure against Thanos.
Using a robotic extension of the Titan computer system known as I.S.A.A.C., Madame MavEvil took a space ship to Earth where she had the computer take remote control of Iron Man's armor. Controlling the armor, she pitted him against the Atlantean king, Namor, the Sub-Mariner. [3]
