The X-Men are a staple of the Marvel Universe. While their greatest heroes, from Jean Grey to Wolverine and Professor Xavier, have contributed to their popularity, the Uncanny X-Men would be nowhere near what they are if not for the wonderfully written villains they’ve fought (and teamed up with) along the way.
Magneto was the first villain the X-Men ever fought, Apocalypse was the “first mutant,” and Mystique’s characterization has been built, torn down and rebuilt for decades, adding complexity to an already astonishing character. The X-Men villains are the gold standard of comic book villains, and many should be the archetypes for future Marvel enemies.
From the epic Inferno event in the 1980s to her appearances in the Krakoa era, controlling Havok and further controlling Limbo, Madelyne Pryor/Goblin Queen has had quite the journey. Her recent appearance in X-Men ’97 has heightened her popularity even more, and she is a tremendous foil to Jean Grey, who also developed close relationships with X-Men, such as Cyclops and Cable.
