Spotlight On... MORRIGAN!

Post by Dean Clayton »

A member of the Tuatha De Danann, this goddess of war, battle and death has existed for untold eons. Some sources claim her to the daughter of Gaea while others claim she is the embodiment of death. Whatever her origins, she has had a strange history in Marvel Comics. Initially debuting as a minor antagonist for Dr. Strange in the 00s, she appeared again under the pen of Peter David while he was finishing up his prolific X-Factor run. A villain(?) for X-Factor mainstay Siryn, she proved to the salvation of her teammate Polaris but later during the Krakoan age appeared to be something out of a nightmare. Read here about the troubling goddess, the Morrigan.

Was the Greek to Roman pantheon conversion different in the comics than in the real world? Eris was the Greek form of Discordia in the real world, not Bellona.

Possibly it is an error but it's been repeated on Marvel.com and on the All New Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe A To Z Premiere collection so at this point it's canon unless contradicted elsewhere. Homer thought that Enyo and Eris were the same person so it seems like Marvel is going that direction with the character.

Ah, okay. Yeah, there were a bunch of those "are they gods or primordial beings" depending on the author. Like who was the mother of Eros and Thanatos, Aphrodite or Nyx.
