Welcome to the Halloween 2022 Yancy Street Special! Who is Marvel's Satana? How has she evolved over the years? Why do I blame Chris Claremont for her bastardization? These answers and so much more, coming your way!
This podcast proudly contains far more information on Satana than any single one of her wiki or fan pages, so I'm pleased and excited to share it with the world. On that note: some CW for sexual assault, violence against women, topics of heaven and hell, extreme personal loss, murder, attempted fratricide, sacrifice, satanic panic, classic horror tropes, general violence and lewdness, etc. The special starts with a little necessary Background, including Horrosploitation, Dr. Fredric Wertham's 1954 Seduction of the Innocent, and the implementation of the Comics Code Authority. We then continue the timeline into the eventual relaxation of the code in 1971, and the ensuing horror trends of the 1960's-80's. With that context in mind, we can begin talking Satana, starting with her (admittedly few) Key Comics: 0:16:44 Her various Aliases and names she's been called through the years, plus when it happened: 0:19:45 The Hellstrom Extended Family, which spread across multiple species and still holds a fair amount of mystery: 0:20:47 Satana's complete Teams and Teammates: 0:27:17 Her Allies, specifically those who are not teammates: 0:31:12 Love Interests, of course, which is surprisingly minor: 32:27 And then her Enemies, I'm sure fewer than you might expect: 0:33:21 Satana's Outfits/Physical Appearance, which has vastly changed through the years, and my breakdown of those changes: 0:37:34 Her half-demon Succubus Powers: 0:40:50 Alternate Reality/Format Versions of Satana: 0:42:38 And finally, her whole life and comic History: 0:45:22, including but not limited to the following categories: Early life; Turn for the Better, Turn for the Worst; the Basilisk; Death for Doctor Strange; Resurrection; Occultist for Hire, Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers; Between Time; All-New, All-Different Hell (and more Vegas, Baby!); and finally, her most recent appearances in Captain Marvel. I wrap up this special with a finale I worked to put all of what I've learned and discovered into account, which I'm calling, simply, Satana's Duality: 1:08:20. It is my desire that listeners who get this far might be inspired to also care about the character of Satana, and we can see more of her in the comics, properly, again.

Why? Christopher Cantwell's Iron Man (2020) series has featured Patsy as a regular co-star, culminating in the two heroes starting a relationship, and Stark eventually proposing to Walker. Check out Iron Man #20 and Iron Man/Hellcat Annual #1 for how that turns out! Meanwhile, I can guarantee there's SOMETHING about comics in this podcast that will be new to you, so don't miss out! Patsy has been around since 1944, making her one of the oldest characters at Marvel Comics today, predating Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, and even the first Avengers team.
Of course, as she is another complex female comic book character, this patsy podcast comes with some serious warnings. Content Warnings: suicide, mental health, exploitation, narcissism, cheating, gaslighting, attempted sacrifice, etc. If you want to see the written list of KEYS 0:08:33, Recommended Reading, and Hellcat Aliases with their origins, check out the coinciding blog post on my site (no ads!), here: continue reading Also be sure to check out the Image Post that goes along with this episode, linked here (Future Link) Patsy's Hellcat has been on a bunch of different teams through the decades, so that is covered at 0:16:09. An extensive look at Patsy's Friends and Allies 0:25:05, including family, features characters from her days under the Timely flag, as well as later in the main 616 universe, through to modern times. A short (ish) list of Patsy's Love Interests 0:50:30 and Enemies 0:56:23 follow, and you'll notice there is a LOT of crossover between those two lists. Then it's on to her Powers 1:00:30, Costumes 1:03:48, and some fun Taglines and Quotes 1:14:08 from her vast comic history! Finally, I cover the Other Realities 1:16:41 Patsy appears in, including media like TV and Games. At last, we reach Patsy's FULL HISTORY 1:23:02 including her Pre-Marvel 616 Comic History; Patsy coming to the main 616; Patsy as Hellcat, the Defender and Avenger; the changes of her life once she meets Daimon Hellstrom; and the modern history from Hellcat (2000) and on. I wrap this baby up with my final thoughts 1:51:15 on Patsy's tumultuous, extended history, summarizing all that she's come to represent and stand for, as further questions about her character that I'd like addressed in the future.

Maddie has a tumultuous comic history, one that takes a degree of research to fully understand, so I've done the work for you! Here you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about Madelyne Pryor, tip to toe, from Claremont-era X-Men to Vita Ayala's current New Mutants arc. There's good reason Maddie has become a bit of a fan favorite, and I hope after this, you'll agree!
Please note the content warning at the beginning of the episode for biological engineering, brainwashing, emotional and physical torture, abandonment, murder and suicide, psychological damage and extreme trauma, removal of personhood, infanticide, cheating and betrayal, etc. Key Comics 0:07:42, covering all the noteworthy issues marking integral moments in her history. Aliases 0:10:51, every name Madelyne is called through her comic history, and from which issues. Team and Roles 0:13:18, going over Maddie's involvement as a Pilot/Mechanic, X-Men, Berserker, and more! Alternate Versions 0:22:01, briefly summarizing 5 different realities' versions of Maddie, plus one extra 616-version. Outfit Redesigns 0:27:32, focusing on two canon redesigns and 2 unofficial fan designs by professional artists. I also forgot to note a few things about Maddie's Goblin Queen outfit in this section, namely that anyone who's worn a "similar" top will understand it actually sits rather snug and comfortably. Additionally, the costume originated when Madelyne first became her "evil" version of herself, when her goal was the mental torture of her ex-husband, Scott. Her sultry look goes along with that intention just as much as the seduction of his younger brother, Alex. Relationships 0:32:01, talking Madelyne's interactions and time with Kate (Kitty) Pryde, Jean Grey, Scott and Alex Summers, the other X-Men, Mister Sinister, and others. Full Character Chronology 0:46:10, going over her entire comic book history, with insights, explanations, and everything else you can think of! The Modern History 1:05:39, covering anything that's happened to Maddie since Inferno (1989). Her TRUE Origin1:08:12, explaining the creators' original intention behind Madelyne, and how her story became so twisted away from those intentions by the end. My personal head-canon of who she is and how to handle her 1:12:24, because it shouldn't be so hard to get a satisfying plot surrounding her out! And finally, the current New Mutants Arc 1:15:05, starting with the recent release of issue #25, and discussing what might be coming in subsequent issues, based on what information we have. I hope you feel this special has done Madelyne Pryor justice, for what little I can offer. We an only hope those with the power to make positive change and deserved recognition in her story, do so, and do so well. Next Podcast Upload: Episode 66, Monday June 6th! Ooooh, 666 >:) And speaking of 666, don't miss the upcoming JUNE Yancy Street Special, all about Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat! One of the oldest characters at Marvel Comics, period.

Yes. Do I try and keep it within healthy limits of fandom? Also yes. But passion still abounds, and that is why we find ourselves here.
Clea is a character with a long history at Marvel Comics, who has recently been brought into the spotlight, arguably for the first time, in her first solo series, titled STRANGE. With this in mind, and the knowledge that she will likely be making her MCU debut this May in Multiverse of Madness, I felt it was time to share what I know about Clea's character. Starting off with her Family History 06:45, including her mother Umar and the Faltine line she comes from, and her father Orini and the Mhuruuks of the Dark Dimension. Discussion of various other women she encounters through her journeys in the comics 15:10 Clea's Team Affiliations & Other Relationships 24:18, including allies, enemies, the Defenders, and more. Her Personal (comic book) History 31:49, running through the important parts of her entire catalogue, hit by hit. and finally, STRANGE 0:47:26 which I still think should have been called Supreme.

Please note the content warning for this video before listening.
Starting in at 0:09:48 with a brief history of the lovely Patsy Walker, before getting into her romance with Daimon Hellstrom, all that ensued, and her life since. We then go on to explore the relationships of... Deathstroke and Terra 0:17:52 Carol and Marcus 0:24:44 Ray Palmer and Jean Loring 0:36:44 the Joker and Harley Quinn 0:41:08 Purple Man and Jessica Jones 0:43:59 Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne 0:45:38 Scott Summers and Madelyne Pryor 0:49:43 Betty Ross and Bruce Banner 0:54:15 Batman and Talia Al Ghul 0:57:39 Doctor Doom and Victorious 1:00:54 Clint Barton and ____ take your pick 1:04:27 Scott Summers and Emma Frost 1:05:17 Green Arrow and Black Canary 1:08:30 the Comedian and Silk Spectre 1:09:40 Both Stephen Strange and Clea & Reed Richards and Sue Storm 1:10:28 Ororo Munroe and T'Challa; Starfire and Anyone; Piotr Rasputin and Kate (Kitty) Pryde, all @ 1:13:19 And wrapping the list up with two more Marvel heroes I wouldn't recommend dating-- 1:14:51 And all of this is to say....what, exactly? That's the question. Why do our celebrated (and disgraced) comic writers continue to knowingly create this kinds of stories, these kinds of terrible relationships---specifically for our favorite superheroes to be in? Is it to show they, too, are flawed? Hardly, we see that in other ways. Is it to make them seem more real? Again, I can't say for sure. All I can do is explore these stories with you, learn from them, and aim to do (and be) better. Stay sweaty.
