Medusa has log been a favorite of mine. She had a unique power set which presents a great visual and she was not simple a female version of an exisitng male character. I also liked how she was at first presented as a villain, then a hero and finally a regal ruler - it was a cool progression. She's not used enough in the comics and her live action treatment was insultingly bad. Let's hope she sees a higher profile on and off the comics' page in the future.

Two posts in one day? Curious... but I do like how you did another of two characters with an actor in common!
Thank you! I've asked for this exact team-up a few times, and now I'll have something to bring should I ever get to see Serinda Swan at a convention.
Miracle Man is taking the energy of the spells, absorbing them and redirecting them with flourish. That's a hard act to beat.
Ross, does Medusa's unique power have anything to do with being ginger? Just wonduering.🤔
It certainly couldn't be telekinetic hair extension that was unique. Susan "Spider-Girl" Paka demonstrated that ability in August 1964 (as a rejected applicant for Silver Age LSH membership). Seven months before Medusa debuted as an amnesiac charter member of the Frightful Four!
With regard to Miracle Man; I wonder if he's been taking lessons from the Homo magi supremacists of New Salem, Colorado?
Medusa's initial animated depictions weren't that much better. Her debut as a female version of Maximus the Mad on the 1978 reboot of FF as a Saturday morning cartoon. Followed by her reappearance as an old flame of Spidey's, on the Depatie-Freleng series, three years later.
I wonder how Zatanna would do against a Princess Python wearing the 7-headed Serpent Crown of Lost Lemuria?
I recall a comment in a Super Friends letter column when some reader accused the UK Global Guardian Godiva (who debuted in '77) as a copycat of Medusa only for E. Nelson Bridwell to come back with Medusa being a copycat villainess of Spider-Girl (who I had never even heard of at the time).
Godiva & Medusa against Spider-Girl would be a hair raising fight don't ya think?
@Cary: Someday I hope to commission a piece of artwork in which Medusa is joined by DC's Godiva and She-Ra's Entrapta in a recreation of the salon scene in the Uptown Funk video.
@Bob Greenwade: a catfight with "snarls," aplenty. ;-)
P.S.---I'd love to see a tug-of-war between Carolyn Danvers and the lycanthropic Supergirl (from ADVENTURE COMICS v.1/#387) over Werewolf Jimmy Olsen (from #'s 44 and 52 of his eponymous Silver Age comic).
