Comments: Created by Chris Claremont, Michael Golden, and Armando Gil.

Claremont named the little girl Maddy Pryor after the lead singer in the band Steeleye Span, and later used the name for his infamous X-Men character. Although they were not intended to be the same person, the instances were picked up on by fans. Madelyne Pryor assumed the little girl's appearance in Uncanny X-Men#238 during a brainwashing sequence as an in-joke.
