Madame Menace

Madame Menace is a Marvel villain who debuted as an adversary of Machine Man, operating as a scheming antagonist with a flair for glamour and dangerous ambition within the Bronze Age Marvel Universe.

Few villains can claim a debut engineered by the legendary Steve Ditko and writer Tom DeFalco, but Madame Menace made her Bronze Age entrance in Machine Man #17 (1980) with exactly that pedigree behind her. Over four decades she's proven a persistent presence in the Marvel Universe, turning up in titles as varied as Iron Cat and The Transformers and earning a place in Marvel's own official handbooks — a sure sign the publisher considers her worth cataloguing. She keeps genuinely glamorous and dangerous company, sharing pages with the likes of Tony Stark, Felicia Hardy, and Sunset Bain. Rare in appearance count but rich in longevity, Madame Menace is the kind of deep-cut Marvel figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig.
