Madelyne Pryor, better known by her pseudonyms, the Goblin Queen, and later, the Red Queen, is a fictional supervillain featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is associated with the X-Men family of comic book titles and was introduced in the pages of Uncanny X-Men, Volume 1 #168 in April, 1983. Originally, she was a recurring supporting character in the feature with no special significance other than that she bore a striking resemblance to another character named Jean Grey. She married the superhero mutant character, Scott Summers, and gave birth to Scott's son, Nathaniel Christopher Charles Askani'son Dayspring Summers (there's a mouthful), who is usually simply known as just Cable. Over time, it was revealed that Madelyne was in fact a clone of Jean Grey created by Mister Sinister. She was corrupted by Sinister's influence and became the Goblin Queen.
