History

Medusa appears in the Marvel 1602 miniseries: 1602: Fantastick Four as a member of the "Four Who Are Frightful". She is the Wizard's lover. This version of Medusa has snakes for hair, and needs to wear a veil to prevent her gaze from turning men to stone. Although her introduction describes her as "inhuman" her origins are not mentioned. She appears to be a native French speaker (hence, "Madame" Medusa).

When the Wizard and Otto von Doom struggle to control Numenor's trident, Wizard accidentally tears Medusa's veil and looks into her eyes, which turn him to stone. Medusa screams in horror over the Wizard's frozen form. Her final fate is unknown, although she presumably perished when Bensaylum was destroyed.

Notes

Medusa's eyes, when they are shown, vary in colour. When she petrifies the Leviathan in issue #4, they are completely white, without irises, which is how they appear when she wears her veil over them. Earlier in the same issue, however, she is shown to have blue irises, and in issue #5 (when she accidentally petrifies the Wizard) her irises are red.
