~ Morgan le Fay
Morgan le Fay is a major antagonist in the Marvel Comics universe.
She is a powerful sorceress based on the Arthurian Legend characters of the same name, though like most adaptations Marvel has altered much of Morgan le Fay's personality and powers to better suit the superheroic setting that is the Marvel universe. She is the arch-nemesis of Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman and an ally of Doctor Doom before she was betrayed by him.
This version of Morgan Le Fay was created by Joe Maneely and the late Stan Lee.
Allegedly, two islands remained of Atlantis after it sank. These island did not sink until thousands of years later. On one of these islands, called Avalon, a member of its faerie royalty was named Igraine. She had a daughter named Morgan, who went to Britain with Myraddin, later Merlin, when Avalon sank. The faerie are an ancient race of humanoid beings with supernatural powers who originated in an extradimensional world that borders upon Britain and Ireland on Earth.
The faerie are closely related to the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, one of the "Nine Worlds" of Asgardian cosmology. Le Fey is said to be the daughter of Gorlois, Duke of Tintagil with lgraine; which also had a son with King Uther Pendragon who became the legendary King Arthur of Camelot. Morgan's own faerie talent for magic did not manifest itself until she was past puberty. Morgan's unusual hair color and her vast potential as a sorceress are both traits due to her faerie descent. Since she was part faerie she also ceased to age after reaching
adulthood.
Morgan learned the arts of sorcery from the wizard Merlin. But although Morgan had persuaded Merlin to teach her magic by promising to become his lover in return, she did not keep her pledge. Morgan mastered the sorcery of the ancient Celtic religion and became a queen by marrying King Uriens of Gorre, a section of Britain. They eventually had a son, Sir Ewain. However, Morgan had many lovers throughout time. She hated King Arthur and frequently attacked him and his knights. Her motives were many; his father Uther Pendragon's illicit relationship with her mother Igraine, and Morgan also wished to rule Britain herself and despised Arthur for promoting Christianity and rejecting the ancient Celtic goddess-worship that she practiced.
Coup attempt[]
In Morgan's first plot against Arthur, she stole his enchanted sword Excalibur and its magic scabbard. She had the sword and scabbard replaced with exact copies which lacked their enchantments. She presented her lover, Sir Accolon, with the real Excalibur and magic scabbard, and told him that if he killed a particular knight the next day, he would become her husband and the king of Britain. According to Morgan, this knight's death would make it possible for her to kill both King Arthur and her own husband, King Uriens. Accolon fought the knight the next day, unaware that his armored opponent was really King Arthur himself. Armed with Excalibur, Accolon seriously wounded Arthur, who nevertheless fought back.
Yet Arthur might have been doomed had not the sorceress Nimue used her magic to force Accolon to drop Excalibur. Knowing that Accolon's sword was Excalibur, Arthur seized it and quickly defeated him, who then revealed Morgan's plot. Horrified to learn that his opponent was Arthur himself, Accolon repented before dying of his injuries. Until this Arthur had fully trusted his half-sister, but now he swore vengeance upon her. Shortly afterwards, Ewain thwarted Morgan's attempt to murder her husband King Uriens. Learning of Accolon's death and the failure of her plot against Arthur, Morgan was enraged and herself stole the magic scabbard again and hurled it into a lake. She then returned to Gorre, intent on doing further harm to Arthur.
Darkhold[]
Morgan eventually sought and took possession of the Darkhold, the book containing the greatest number of evil magical spells on Earth, which had been inscribed therein by the demon Chthon. She gathered together a number of students of occultism whom she called the Cult of Darkholders, and together they journeyed to central Europe and used the book to raise Chthon himself, hoping to force him to do their bidding. However, Chthon proved to be too powerful to control, and Morgan and the cult only narrowly succeeded in imprisoning him again beneath Wundagore Mountain. Morgan's lover and student, Magnus, had realized and been appalled by the extent of her evil when she took possession of the Darkhold. A little more than a year later, after the attempt to raise Chthon, Magnus stole the Darkhold from her and hid it in a high tower upon the Isle of Wight.
The tower was protected by elaborate spells which prevented those of evil intent from entering. Morgan eventually found Magnus and slew his physical form while he was engaged in astral projection. Morgan's many attempts to bring ruin upon Camelot were continually thwarted by Arthur, Merlin, the Black Knight Sir Percy, and the other knights of the Round Table. After a climactic battle against her foes, the defeated Morgan was imprisoned by Merlin in her Earthly palace, Castle Le Fey. Although she still used her spells and minions to cause trouble for Arthur and could travel to other dimensions, Merlin's spells would cause her death if she physically ventured outside the castle on Earth.
Morgan believed that if she could regain the Darkhold, she could use its powerful magic to break Merlin's spell. Numerous times she projected her astral form from her unaging body in the Sixth Century A.D. into various future periods in attempts to recover the Darkhold. She always failed, usually due to the efforts of Magnus, whose magic enabled him to survive on an astral plane in spirit form, and often to take possession of living people's bodies on Earth.
Avengers[]
Finally, in the Twentieth Century, Morgan attempted to gain control of Jessica Drew; the original Spider-Woman, who had spent much of her life in suspended animation on the mountain beneath which Chthon had been imprisoned. Morgan believed that Jessica had absorbed enough of the elder god's magic to be able to give her the power she sought from the Darkhold.
Morgan then cast an illusion that deceived Jessica into thinking she had disintegrated when she fired a bioelectric blast at her through a time warp. Finally, the spirit of Magnus enabled Jessica's spirit to travel back to Morgan's own time. In battling her, Jessica knocked Morgan through a window of her castle. Morgan's body was apparently destroyed in accordance with Merlin's spell. However, Morgan also cast a spell that prevented Jessica's astral form from returning to her physical body. It is unclear whether Morgan's body was destroyed before or after the fall of Camelot, or what role, if any, Morgan played in the end of Arthur's reign. However, it is said that Morgan was one of those who conveyed Arthur, after he was mortally wounded in his final battle with his foe Mordred, to the extradimensional realm called Otherworld.
Apparently Morgan's astral form spent centuries in the same astral plane to which Magnus's spirit had gone. While Jessica's spirit was still separated from her physical body, Morgan attempted to use her sorcery to make it impossible for her spirit to continue to exist on the astral plane. Then Morgan would take over Jessica's physical body herself. Earth's sorcerer supreme Doctor Strange, the Avengers, and the Shroud all journeyed to the astral plane to battle Morgan. So she created a gigantic body of "stone" for herself out of the "matter" of her astral plane in order to battle her opponents. Magnus's spirit sacrificed his existence on the astral plane in order to use his magic to allow Spider-Woman's spirit to reenter her physical body. The Avengers smashed apart Morgan's "stone" form and Doctor Strange used his magic to prevent her spirit from leaving it. She eventually freed herself, however, and tried to take possession of Lissa Russell, a young woman who had once been cursed by the Darkhold.
Doctor Doom[]
When she battled the Avengers, Morgan's astral form briefly altered the world to her own twisted version with the team serving as her Queen's Vengeance. Doctor Doom traveled back in time to ask for her help in defeating the Mighty Avengers. During his many visits they became lovers. She taught him magic but asked for a gift from the future. Doom claimed he couldn't, as it would cause disruption to the timeline. However, Doom did not consider their affair disruptive, as it was contained. Doom asked Morgan to tutor him further in the dark arts, including summoning an army of demons he used successfully to take down the Mighty Avengers. Morgan traveled into the future with an army of demons to avenge Doom's betrayal.
At first, she attempted to kill Doom when he was a child, but then decided to go ahead several decades, so that Doom would fully know why she was going to kill him, and engaged Doom in Latveria. When the Dark Avengers arrived to rescue Doom, the Sentry tore off her head, but she subsequently violently reappeared in his place, and took control over the new Spider-Man (Mac Gargan), who attacked Ares. She was killed again by the new Hawkeye (Bullseye), but she reappeared again. Morgan turned Ares into stone in seconds, while Doom and Iron Patriot traveled back in time to kill her in her own time. There, Doom chanted a spell of a language that even she possessed no knowledge of to forcibly send the sorceress into her own enchanted cauldron, despite her screams and pleas. Though Morgan lived, she was sent to 1,000,000 BC where she ran from a tribe of cavemen fighting a T-Rex. Doom magically restored Latveria and the revived Dark Avengers headed back to America.
