"'Medusa' debuted in Marvel Comics' "Fantastic Four" #36 (1965), created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, as belonging to the race of 'Inhumans', a species of prehistoric earthlings mutated by the 'Terrigen Mists' produced deep under the Inhuman city-state of 'Attilan',located in the oxygen-rich 'Blue Area' of the 'Moon'.

"She attended Black Bolt's release from his isolation cell at the age of eighteen, and witnessed the first confrontation between Black Bolt and his insane brother 'Maximus the Mad'. Maximus also claims to be in love with Medusa, and has made frequent attempts to usurp both the throne of Attilan as well as his brother's bride-to-be. It was in Maximus' first successful attempt to take the throne that Medusa was knocked off a sky-sled by the 'Trikon' and afflicted with amnesia. She then left Attilan, and wandered Europe as a thief..."



Medusa possesses a thick head of red hair; thanks to her exposure to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist, with every strand of her hair empowered with greater tensile strength and elasticity.
