Fictional character biography

[edit]

Madame Masque was born as Giulietta Nefaria, the daughter of the master criminalCount Luchino Nefaria,inRome, Italy.Her mother died when giving birth and Luchino wanted his daughter to lead a respectable life, so he gave the child to Byron Frost, a wealthy financier and an employee of Nefaria, and his wife Loretta Frost.[5]

Frost called the child Whitney and raised her as his own. As a young adult, Whitney was a debutante and socialite, and became engaged to politician Roger Vane. Following the Frosts' deaths, Count Nefaria approached Whitney and revealed her true parentage, as he wishes for her to inherit his position as head of theMaggia,aMafia-like organization based on theEast Coast of the United States.Whitney at first refused, but when she tells Roger about her father, Roger ends their relationship out of fear that her connections to a known criminal would hamper his political prospects. Heartbroken, Whitney accepted her father's offer to join the Maggia and was trained by the Count in strategy, criminal activities, and combat. She turned out to be a brilliant student and when her father is imprisoned, she becomes the new "Big M", the leader of the Nefaria family of the Maggia. Her role as Big M brought her into conflict withIron Man,an old enemy of Count Nefaria.[6]

Whitney was forced to flee after a raid onStark Industries.The plane she escaped in crashed and Whitney's face was badly scarred, but she was saved by the criminalMordecai Midasand started to work for him. Midas is obsessed with gold and gave Whitney a golden mask to conceal her disfigured face. She also starts using the alias of "Madame Masque."[7]

Madame Masque meets Tony Stark (Iron Man'salter ego) and the latter shows concern for her despite her scarred face. She turns on Midas to save Stark, but leaves him because of her criminal past. Unable to forget her feelings, she assumes the identity of Krissy Longfellow, Stark's personal secretary. Both come to know each other's true identity and start a romantic relationship. Their happiness is short-lived as Count Nefaria is dying due to a failed attempt to gain superhuman powers. Whitney hires theAni-Mento bring her father to her and then asks Stark to find a cure for her father. Count Nefaria threatens Stark, and he is forced to fight the Ani-Men as Iron Man. Whitney is unable to choose between her father and her lover, and when Nefaria's life-support system is damaged in the fight, she goes insane with guilt and grief.[8]Whitney returns to the Nefaria family and regains her former position as leader. She resumes her vendetta against Iron Man and his friends.[9]

At one point, Frost becomesparanoidand starts to create physical copies of herself, known as bio-duplicates. One of her bio-duplicates, who is simply referred to as "Masque", turns on her creator and becomes an ally of theAvengers.[10]She also creates robotic servants known as theInner Guardand names them individually after notable historical traitors: Benedict, Brutus, Fawkes, Quisling, Monmouth (based onBenedict Arnold,Marcus Junius Brutus,Guy Fawkes,Vidkun Quisling,and theDuke of Monmouth) and two other, unnamed members.[11][12]

Benedict successfully recaptures Masque for Whitney. Masque tries to convince her the Avengers are benevolent and that she should reach out to Stark again, but Whitney is still too fearful to do so. She continues to be a criminal figure of importance, until her father returns from the dead, now with superhuman abilities, and destroys her base. She reluctantly assists the Avengers and theThunderboltsagainst the Count, but she secretly plans to betray and destroy both sides, her increased paranoia causing her to believe that she can trust no one but herself, despite moments of doubt such as when Stark unmasks in her presence but lowers his face-plate back when preparing to talk to the rest of the Avengers.[volume & issue needed]Masque again tries unsuccessfully to convince her to side with the heroes, then joins the battle in Whitney's place. Masque obtains a weapon designed to disrupt Nefaria's powers that Whitney had prepared for her father, but is slain by Nefaria before she can use it. Madame Masque is shocked by her duplicate's nobility and sacrifice, with Iron Man's dismayed reaction at what appears to be her death compared to Nefaria's glee forcing her to recognize that Masque was right about the Avengers. Whitney joins the battle and plays a key role in her father's defeat, her weapon causing him to begin leaking ionic energy until he finally collapses. She renounces her criminal past, andMACH-IIof the Thunderbolts offers her membership, but she declines, departing to parts unknown to consider her future. Before leaving, she asked MACH-II to thank everyone for her, especially Iron Man.[13]

She is taken down byDoctor Strangeand taken intoS.H.I.E.L.D.custody.[15]A group ofSkrullsdisguised as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents try to learn her true face so they can replace her with one of their own.

Stark admits that even after years of fighting, he still loves her, to which Masque reciprocates.[20]However, when faced with a direct choice between Pepper or Masque, Stark chooses to save Pepper first. As Stark escapes toAfghanistan,Masque and Pepper fight hand-to-hand.[21]Masque is defeated and imprisoned in a discardedCrimson Dynamosuit[22]while Pepper disguises herself in her mask and costume to falsely report her own death to Osborn and turn over the Rescue armor, which is added to his personal collection of Iron Man suits.[23]

Madame Masque escapes, and later participates in a surprise attack on the New Avengers, a trap set up by Osborn.[24]Later, when The Hood attacksDoctor Strangein order to become the Sorcerer Supreme, she tries to help him deal with his possession byDormammu,taking off her mask and confessing her feelings for him.[25]When Osborn calls off the hunt for Stark after learning that he is in apersistent vegetative state,Masque decides to take matters into her own hands, and hires theGhostto eliminate her old lover, a task at which Ghost fails.[26]
