+ | ====Avalon==== |
||
− | Allegedly, two islands remained of Atlantis after it sank. These islands did not sink until thousands of years later. On one of these islands, called Avalon. One member of its royalty was a person named Igraine. Igraine had a daughter named Morgan, who went to Britain with Myrddin - later Merlin - when Avalon sank. |
||
+ | Allegedly, islands remained of [[Atlantis (Empire)|Atlantis]] after it sank. On the largest of those islands, [[Avalon (Atlantis)|Avalon]], [[Igraine (Earth-616)|Igraine]] was a sea-princess. Igraine had a daughter named Morgan with a man from the [[Sacred Clan (Earth-616)|sacred clan]].<!-- {{r|Namor the Sub-Mariner #62|; Beware the Tides of March}} --> |
||
+ | As the custom went, Morgan was taken to be trained at the [[House of Virgins]] to serve as Avalon's sea-princess, the great sun temple of the [[Crystal City (Ruta)|Crystal City]] of the volcanic island of [[Ruta]]. The women were given in marriage to men of the sacred clan for magical purposes, forbiding Morgan the love she seeked.<!-- {{r|Namor the Sub-Mariner #62|; Beware the Tides of March}} --> |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | A young priest, [[Merlyn (Otherworld)|Myraddin]] was warned of the upcoming and long foretold [[Post-Hyborian Cataclysm|catastrophe]] that was going to occur. The ancient priest of the sun entrusted Myraddin with his secret scrolls, and with his daughter Igraine. Myraddin and Igraine rushed to the House of Virgins where they took Morgan, and flew on a merchant ship from [[Tingail]], while the remaining islands of Atlantis were drowned by great tidal waves caused by the burst of the volcano.{{r|Namor the Sub-Mariner #62|; Beware the Tides of March}} |

+ | ====Britain==== |
||
⚫ | |||
+ | They ended up on the Isle of [[Britain]], where Myraddin changed his name to Merlin and established his druid worship in [[Stonehenge (Location)|Stonehenge]]. He arranged for Igraine to marry [[Gorlois (Earth-616)|Gorlois]], Duke of the [[Tin Islands]], who adopted Morgan. Gorlois was killed by [[Uther Pendragon (Earth-616)|Uther Pendragon]], who took Igraine for queen. She birthed a son, [[Arthur Pendragon (Earth-616)|Arthur]]<!-- {{r|Namor the Sub-Mariner #62|; Beware the Tides of March}} --> |
||
+ | Growing into a fine young woman, Morgan followed Merlin to [[Aran Island]] to become his apprentice, in exchange to also becoming his lover, but failed to her pledge.{{r|Namor the Sub-Mariner #62|; Beware the Tides of March}} |

⚫ | |||
⚫ | Doctor Doom traveled back in time to ask for her help in defeating the [[Mighty Avengers (Earth-616)|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.{{r|Mighty Avengers #9}} |

⚫ | |||
⚫ | Morgan traveled into the future with an army of demons to avenge Doom's betrayal.{{r|Dark Avengers #1}} 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 (Earth-616)|Dark Avengers]] arrived to rescue Doom, the [[Robert Reynolds (Earth-616)|Sentry]] tore off her head |
||
⚫ | Later, when Merlin and the [[Sir Percy of Scandia (Earth-616)|Black Knight]] went off to battle Morgan, a mutated [[Glossary:Nordheimr|Nordheimr]] [[Vanir (Nordheimr)|Vanir]] [[Maha Yogi (Earth-616)|impersonated Merlin]], and [[Sir Percival (Earth-616)|Sir Percival]] was slain by [[Mordred (Earth-616)|Mordred]].{{citation}} |

||
− | ===Weirdworld=== |
||
− | After the final [[Glossary:Incursion|incursion]] destroyed the [[Earth]], Morgan le Fay was salvaged by [[Victor von Doom (Earth-616)|God Emperor Doom]] as part of [[Weirdworld (Battleworld)|Weirdworld]], one of the domains on [[Battleworld (Latverion)|Battleworld]], a land that contained sorcery and strange perverted science from many alternate reality magical realms. She became the baroness of the realm as Witch Queen le Fay.{{r|Weirdworld Vol 1 1}} After [[Arkon (Earth-616)|Arkon the Magnificent]] stole from her on multiple occasions,{{r|Weirdworld Vol 1 2}} she dispatched [[James Scully (Earth-616)|Skull the Slayer]] to kill him.{{r|Weirdworld Vol 1 3}} Skull and Arkon were then recruited by the [[Jennifer Kale (Earth-616)|Swamp Queen]] to start a war against the Witch Queen le Fay.{{r|Weirdworld Vol 1 4}} |
||
+ | ===[[Modern Age]]=== |
||
− | A fierce battle ensued between the Swamp Queen and le Fay's forces for the fate of Weirdworld; however, none of them emerged victorious as Battleworld collapsed after God Emperor Doom was defeated during the [[Secret Wars]]. Weirdworld then became part of le Fay's homeworld in her home universe, where it existed in the [[Bermuda Triangle]], and a Boeing 747 crashed into it. One of the plane's occupants was [[Rebecca Rodriguez (Earth-616)|Becca the Earthgirl]], whom Arkon rescued along with numerous other survivors, before he then resumed his journey to find [[Polemachus]].{{r|Weirdworld Vol 1 5}} |

When the [[Dark Avengers (Earth-616)|Dark Avengers]] arrived to rescue Doom, the [[Robert Reynolds (Earth-616)|Sentry]] tore off her head. She subsequently violently reappeared in his place and took control over the new [[MacDonald Gargan (Earth-616)|Spider-Man (Mac Gargan)]], who attacked [[Ares (Earth-616)|Ares]].{{r|Dark Avengers #2}} She was killed again by the new [[Bullseye (Earth-616)|Hawkeye (Bullseye)]], but she reappeared again. Morgan turned Ares into stone, while Doom and [[Norman Osborn (Earth-616)|Iron Patriot]] traveled back in time to kill her in her own time.{{r|Dark Avengers #3}} 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 [[Tyrannosaurus rex|T-Rex]]. Doom magically restored Latveria, and the revived Dark Avengers headed back to America.{{r|Dark Avengers #4}} |

⚫ | After having been freed by her daughter [[Caroline le Fay (Earth-616)|Caroline le Fay]] from her own magic cauldron that Doom trapped her in, Morgan le Fay took over a [[City of the Dead]] underneath [[Velletri]], [[Italy]], a mystical necropolis of which there are many below European cities.{{r|Avengers World #1}} From here she launched a massive attack with armies of the dead all over Europe.{{r|Avengers World #10}} |

He became a ghost of the city which, being one of them, allowed his magic to work, pulling back the armies back to their respective necropolises, severely weakening le Fay. The Avengers and the Euroforce proceeded to beat her up, forcing her to retreat.{{r|Avengers World #14}} |

− | Becca then encountered [[Ogeode (Earth-616)|Ogeode]], who proclaimed that he had caused the planecrash with an artifact known as the [[Wuxian Seed]]. Ogeode was then promptly killed by [[Goleta (Earth-616)|Goleta the Wizardslayer]], which was witnessed by [[Warg (Earth-616)|Warg]], who notified the Witch Queen le Fay that the the Wuxian Seed had fallen into Becca's possession.{{r|Weirdworld Vol 2 1}} |

Morgana once cast a spell that resurrected the entire sunken continent of Atlantis, killing the vast majority of its water-breathing inhabitants in the process.{{r|Namor the Sub-Mariner #62}}{{r|Fantastic Four: Atlantis Rising #1}} Morgana can cast location spells. She once cast a spell to locate Doom to see where he was hidden through time and space. She used this same spell to watch him in the modern day from her location in medieval times.{{r|Dark Avengers #1}} Morgana can cast spells to control her enemies. She cast a spell to enslave Thor into doing whatever she asked.{{r|Fantastic Four: Atlantis Rising #1}} And she also cast a spell to take control of Spider-Man's symbiote form to attack his teammates.{{r|Dark Avengers #2}} Again proving her power, Morgana cast a spell to trap the Elder god [[Chthon (Earth-616)|Chthon]] within Mount Wundagore, where he remained for centuries until he was able to use the Scarlet Witch in the modern day to escape.{{r|Avengers #187}} Morgan has used the ''[[Crimson Bands of Cyttorak]]'' to bind Doctor Strange and Balor, proving her capabilities of manipulating extra-dimensional mystical energies from the [[Octessence]] if needed.{{citation}} |

+ | *'''''Reality Warping:''''' Morgana once cast a very powerful spell to warp all of reality in her image by harnessing the [[Norn Stones]]. She was able to do this because of her own link to the Asgardians since she is half-Faerie, the same race as the Dark Elves. She also used the [[Twilight Sword]] in this effort; however, she required [[Wanda Maximoff (Earth-616)|The Scarlet Witch]] to bridge the gap between her own magic and the sword itself.{{r|Avengers Vol 3 1}} Morgana once again cast a spell to warp all of reality around the globe by just using the masculine energies of [[Mordred (Earth-616)|Mordred]]; however, the spell was foiled by the Black Knight. This brings into question the necessity of the Norn Stones, the Twilight Sword, and the Scarlet Witch in her previous effort.{{r|Black Knight Vol 2 4}} |

She once traveled back in time to kill Doom as a child but didn't, having decided that she wanted him to know why she was going to kill him instead.{{r|Dark Avengers #2}} Morgana used time travel to transport her entire army of monsters from medieval times to the modern day.{{r|Dark Avengers #3}} Morgan's skill at time travel is sufficient for her to remain ongoing enemies with opponents centuries apart. She can manipulate the rules of time travel to repeatedly undo her own death and return unaffected to the same battle.{{r|Dark Avengers #2|3}} |

+ | *'''''Necromancy:''''' Morgana was very powerful in necromancy, so much so that Doom actually traveled back in time in order to learn from her how to create an army of monsters, something she frequently did.{{r|Mighty Avengers #9}} Morgana also cast a spell to re-animate every person killed by the sword Excalibur by using a shard of the sword itself in an effort to create an army of the dead.{{r|Iron Man #150}} Morgana also used necromancy to unleash a global-sized army of the dead all over Europe by utilizing the hidden cities of the dead.{{r|Avengers World #10}} Morgana once used necromancy to create an entire army of monsters that she unleashed upon the Dark Avengers. She also transported this army through time and space from medieval times to the modern day to fight her enemies.{{r|Dark Avengers #3}} |
+ | *'''''Resurrection:''''' Morgan has proven capable of surviving the death of her physical body.{{r|Spider-Woman #50}} Morgan can possess the bodies of women and, over time, reform them into perfect duplicates of her original.{{r|Iron Man #209}}{{r|Namor the Sub-Mariner #60|62}} As a result, she can be perpetually reincarnated so long as her spirit survives. Her spirit can exist independently of any host, apparently for centuries and with little loss of power.{{r|Avengers #241}} |
||
− | * '''''Immortality:'''''She does not age either due to her half faerie heritage. |
||
⚫ | *'''''Power Granting:''''' Morgana has demonstrated the ability to grant powers to others. She once enchanted a stone petal from the [[Ebon Rose]] and told Ian Mcknee to swallow it. She told him that the petal would allow him to speak with Gaea's children, both flora and fauna, giving him control over them.{{r|Mystic Arcana Scarlet Witch #1}} She also granted Ian all of her powers for a period of time to help him use the cornerstones of creation.{{r|Mystic Arcana Sister Grimm #1}} |
||
− | ** '''''Self-Resurrection:''''' Morgana is somewhat of a 'real God'. Where as actual Gods like the Asgardians and the Olympians can indeed be truly killed in one way or another, Morgana it seems, cannot. Arguably Morgana has been 'killed' more times and in more varied ways than any other villain in the Marvel Universe. So much so that it is a running gag. She has had her physical form aged and decomposed{{r|Spider-Woman Vol 1 50}}, she has had her head ripped off{{r|Dark Avengers Vol 1 2}}, she has been killed with arrows {{r|Dark Avengers Vol 1 3}}, she has had her physical form completely destroyed{{r|Avengers World #10}}, she has had a sword of iron hurled at her spirit{{r|Spider-Woman Vol 1 41}}, she has had herself trapped in astral form on an astral plane{{r|Avengers Vol 1 241}} as well as many many others. Despite this, she has survived each and every single time, most often appearing seconds later after her 'death' seemingly unharmed. |

History
Early Years
Avalon
Allegedly, islands remained of Atlantis after it sank. On the largest of those islands, Avalon, Igraine was a sea-princess. Igraine had a daughter named Morgan with a man from the sacred clan.
As the custom went, Morgan was taken to be trained at the House of Virgins to serve as Avalon's sea-princess, the great sun temple of the Crystal City of the volcanic island of Ruta. The women were given in marriage to men of the sacred clan for magical purposes, forbiding Morgan the love she seeked.
A young priest, Myraddin was warned of the upcoming and long foretold catastrophe that was going to occur. The ancient priest of the sun entrusted Myraddin with his secret scrolls, and with his daughter Igraine. Myraddin and Igraine rushed to the House of Virgins where they took Morgan, and flew on a merchant ship from Tingail, while the remaining islands of Atlantis were drowned by great tidal waves caused by the burst of the volcano.[1]
Britain
They ended up on the Isle of Britain, where Myraddin changed his name to Merlin and established his druid worship in Stonehenge. He arranged for Igraine to marry Gorlois, Duke of the Tin Islands, who adopted Morgan. Gorlois was killed by Uther Pendragon, who took Igraine for queen. She birthed a son, Arthur
Growing into a fine young woman, Morgan followed Merlin to Aran Island to become his apprentice, in exchange to also becoming his lover, but failed to her pledge.[1]
Protesting the conversion of Great Britain to Pauline Christianity, Morgan opposed her half-brother, King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot. To this end, Morgan attempted to used the Darkhold and was possessed by Chthon.[citation needed]
Later, when Merlin and the Black Knight went off to battle Morgan, a mutated Nordheimr Vanir impersonated Merlin, and Sir Percival was slain by Mordred.[citation needed]
Merlin thwarted numerous attempts to bring ruin to Camelot, and eventually imprisoned her within Castle Le Fey.
Morgan kept projecting her astral form into various periods of the future, seeking a means to escape her physical prison.[1]
Modern Age
In modern times, Morgan's astral form battled Spider-Woman[1] and the Avengers.[citation needed]
She briefly altered the world to her own twisted version with the team serving as her Queen's Vengeance.[citation needed]
Doctor Doom
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.[3]
Morgan traveled into the future with an army of demons to avenge Doom's betrayal.[4] 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. She subsequently violently reappeared in his place and took control over the new Spider-Man (Mac Gargan), who attacked Ares.[5] She was killed again by the new Hawkeye (Bullseye), but she reappeared again. Morgan turned Ares into stone, while Doom and Iron Patriot traveled back in time to kill her in her own time.[6] 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.[7]
Avengers World
After having been freed by her daughter Caroline le Fay from her own magic cauldron that Doom trapped her in, Morgan le Fay took over a City of the Dead underneath Velletri, Italy, a mystical necropolis of which there are many below European cities.[8] From here she launched a massive attack with armies of the dead all over Europe.[9]
The Avengers and the Euroforce joined forces to take her down, but they were easily overpowered by the hordes of the dead.[10] Sebastian Druid tried to aid the heroes, but he was killed by le Fay shortly after arriving at the city.[11] However, killing Druid worked out against Morgan's plans. He became a ghost of the city which, being one of them, allowed his magic to work, pulling back the armies back to their respective necropolises, severely weakening le Fay. The Avengers and the Euroforce proceeded to beat her up, forcing her to retreat.[12]Attributes
Powers
Morgana possesses a gifted intellect, and as a former pupil of Merlin, she knows a great deal of magical lore, considered one of the greatest sorceresses in Earth's history. To prove this, the Eye of Agamotto appeared to Morgan as it considered her as a possible replacement for Doctor Strange as Sorcerer Supreme.[13] She is also a sea-priestess,[1] and a high priestess of the Earth goddess (Gaea), invoking her Celtic name, Danu.[citation needed]
- Spell Casting: Morgana is a very powerful sorceress capable of casting prodigious spells. Morgana once cast a spell that resurrected the entire sunken continent of Atlantis, killing the vast majority of its water-breathing inhabitants in the process.[14][15] Morgana can cast location spells. She once cast a spell to locate Doom to see where he was hidden through time and space. She used this same spell to watch him in the modern day from her location in medieval times.[4] Morgana can cast spells to control her enemies. She cast a spell to enslave Thor into doing whatever she asked.[15] And she also cast a spell to take control of Spider-Man's symbiote form to attack his teammates.[5] Again proving her power, Morgana cast a spell to trap the Elder god Chthon within Mount Wundagore, where he remained for centuries until he was able to use the Scarlet Witch in the modern day to escape.[16] Morgan has used the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak to bind Doctor Strange and Balor, proving her capabilities of manipulating extra-dimensional mystical energies from the Octessence if needed.[citation needed]
- Reality Warping: Morgana once cast a very powerful spell to warp all of reality in her image by harnessing the Norn Stones. She was able to do this because of her own link to the Asgardians since she is half-Faerie, the same race as the Dark Elves. She also used the Twilight Sword in this effort; however, she required The Scarlet Witch to bridge the gap between her own magic and the sword itself.[17] Morgana once again cast a spell to warp all of reality around the globe by just using the masculine energies of Mordred; however, the spell was foiled by the Black Knight. This brings into question the necessity of the Norn Stones, the Twilight Sword, and the Scarlet Witch in her previous effort.[18]
- Time Travel: Morgana was very skilled in magical time travel. It was one of her most frequently used magics. She once traveled back in time to kill Doom as a child but didn't, having decided that she wanted him to know why she was going to kill him instead.[5] Morgana used time travel to transport her entire army of monsters from medieval times to the modern day.[6] Morgan's skill at time travel is sufficient for her to remain ongoing enemies with opponents centuries apart. She can manipulate the rules of time travel to repeatedly undo her own death and return unaffected to the same battle.[19]
- Necromancy: Morgana was very powerful in necromancy, so much so that Doom actually traveled back in time in order to learn from her how to create an army of monsters, something she frequently did.[3] Morgana also cast a spell to re-animate every person killed by the sword Excalibur by using a shard of the sword itself in an effort to create an army of the dead.[20] Morgana also used necromancy to unleash a global-sized army of the dead all over Europe by utilizing the hidden cities of the dead.[9] Morgana once used necromancy to create an entire army of monsters that she unleashed upon the Dark Avengers. She also transported this army through time and space from medieval times to the modern day to fight her enemies.[6]
- Resurrection: Morgan has proven capable of surviving the death of her physical body.[21] Morgan can possess the bodies of women and, over time, reform them into perfect duplicates of her original.[22][23] As a result, she can be perpetually reincarnated so long as her spirit survives. Her spirit can exist independently of any host, apparently for centuries and with little loss of power.[24]
- Power Granting: Morgana has demonstrated the ability to grant powers to others. She once enchanted a stone petal from the Ebon Rose and told Ian Mcknee to swallow it. She told him that the petal would allow him to speak with Gaea's children, both flora and fauna, giving him control over them.[25] She also granted Ian all of her powers for a period of time to help him use the cornerstones of creation.[26]
- Flight[6]
- Teleportation : Morgana was capable of teleporting across great distances.[14][15] She has also demonstrated an ability to teleport entire armies and to relocate her entire castle into another dimension. She once used teleportation to kill the Sentry by literally teleporting into his physical form and causing him to explode.[5]
- Omnipresence: Morgana has demonstrated an ability to be everywhere at once. In the pages of Avengers World, she unleashed an army of the dead all over Europe. She proceeded to watch that same army by projecting her image into the skies, watching over the various cities and speaking down to the public regarding her take over.[9][10]
- Shape Shifting: Morgana has demonstrated an ability to change her shape and form. She has on occasion used magic to grow in size to assume a giant version of herself.[10][24] She has also assumed different forms altogether, including a dragon.[citation needed]
- Transmutation: Morgana has demonstrated the power to transform one thing into another. She once cast a spell that turned various suits of armour into a monstrous creature to attack the Black Knight.[2] Morgana once cast a spell to turn normal trees into monstrous ones and sent them to fight Ian Mcknee.[27] Morgana turned Ares to stone when she battled the Dark Avengers.[6]
- Energy Projection: Morgana is incredibly powerful. Her projection of magical energy in the form of bolts, beams and various others when battling, has on several occasions proved devastating. When she battled Doom in a magical fight, her energy projection proved far too strong for him and she left him completely comatose for a period of time until he was able to get help from the Dark Avengers.[4]
- Illusions: Morgana has demonstrated the power to create illusions. Not only this, but she actually sent her illusions through time and space to 'haunt' Spider-Woman in the present day.[21]
- Astral Projection: Morgan has frequently displayed the ability to project herself in astral form. While in astral form, she has also been able to utilize her entire array of magical powers. She has also been able to bring others into an astral plane of existence too and battle them there. She can also affect physical beings and objects while in astral form.[24]
