The alien had been stranded on Earth for thousands of years and Cap surmised that the alien's wild hair, made him look like a woman and was the basis for the myth about Medusa. Cap got the alien to change the Avengers back and helped him leave Earth and return home. The alien would turn out to belong to the D'Bari, whose planet was later destroyed when the [[TheDarkPhoenixSaga Dark Phoenix]] caused their sun to go nova.

Both versions turn her into an [[ColdSniper expert archer]] - with added sociopathy in the remake, where she [[GigglingVillain laughs]] as she either shoots or petrifies people.

Two issues here: 1. You prefer images to be to the right (and I generally agree with you on that), but the medusa is facing to the right so it looks horrible if she's placed to the right and thus face away from the text. 2. If there's a page quote, the image should go to the right. The second issue is really simple to solve: The quote hardly contribute to the trope, so just remove it. Solving the first issue requires a bit more work: Flip the image in photoshop so she faces to the left. Then she'll look good to the right and horrible to the left, instead. Don't forget to remove the redundant text. If you don't do this, I might eventually get around to do it myself. But intil either of us do it, no more moving this picture to the right please.
