Superheroes Marvel: Jellyfish. Biography
Full name - Medusalit Amaqueline Boltagon. Medusa was born into the royal family of the alien race of the Inhumans, hidden from the eyes of the inhabitants of the Earth. From a young age, the girl was brought up in harsh conditions, so that in the future she could become a cold-blooded and brutal heiress to the throne.
Many years later, there was an uprising of a workers' race called Alpha Primitive. At the head of the rebellion was Tricon, against whom the superhero "Marvel" described in the article went to fight. Jellyfish suffered a crushing defeat, the result of which was amnesia. In this state, an insidious villain nicknamed the Sorcerer found her. At that time, he was building a team that was supposed to be the antipode of the Fantastic Four, and he just did not have a woman for the full composition. The wizard invited her to become a member of their criminal group, which she agreed to.
Villainous activity
Together with other marvelous super-villains of the Marvel universe, Medusa repeatedly fought the Fantastic Four, but each battle ended in defeat. Despite unsuccessful attempts, the actions of the Terrifying Four attracted the attention of members of the Inhuman Royal Family, who at all costs decided to get their relative back.
The girl began to pursue her cousin Gorgon, and then the Human Torch, a member of the Fantastic Four and the world superhero "Marvel". Medusa clashed with a valiant hero, which led to the awakening of the imprisoned Dragon Man.
Taking Medusalit for the Invisible Lady, he protected her from the Gorgon and from the Fantastic Four. During the trouble, Gorgon managed to capture his cousin and return it to his family. After some time, Medusa stopped resisting her relatives and again became a full member of the royal family.
Superheroes "Marvel": Jellyfish. Abilities
When earlier in the article it was said that Medusa is one of the most unusual characters in comics, then there was not a drop of lies in these words. Medusalit Amaqueline Boltagon really has superpowers that are very different from the abilities of other superheroes.
The main weapon of this heroine is her six-inch hair. In appearance, they are no different from ordinary human ones, but in reality they are durable, like wires made of steel. Controlling her hair with the power of thought, Medusa is able to lift heavy objects weighing more than a ton or use them as a deadly weapon (for example, a whip or spear).
Also, the heroine can use her hair as a strong and reliable shield, which is extremely difficult to damage.
Other skills
Despite the fact that she already has the most unusual superpower in the Marvel universe, Medusa also has a number of other skills that make her a very dangerous and deadly opponent.
Like all representatives of the Inhumans race, Medusalit is very strong, agile and hardy. Even without her superhair, she can lift an object weighing about a ton. In addition, the heroine is well trained in close unarmed combat.
The immunity of Medusa, unlike the immune system of other Inhumans, is strong enough and is able to withstand various viruses and bacteria.
In her youth, Medusalit developed a unique ability to communicate with the Black Thunder, whose voice is so loud that he does not specifically speak with anyone, so as not to harm anyone. Since the Queen of Inhumans at the instinct level can read the thoughts and intentions of her husband, she has long been his translator.
To the skills of Medusa, which are not associated with superpowers, it is also worth adding her leadership qualities. As the Queen of Inhumans, she repeatedly showed herself as a strong and exemplary leader. It is Medusalit who is often considered the face of his people, and not her husband of the Black Thunder.
Film adaptation
In the television project "Supermen", the series "Marvel", actress Serinda Swan played Medusa. According to the plot, a split occurs in the royal Inhumans family living on the Moon, because of which Medusalit Amaqueline Boltagon and other members of the alien family end up on our planet.
