Madam Satan

Madam Satan is a fictional character that has appeared as several iterations in Archie Comics under its various imprints.

The first depiction of Madam Satan was on the cover of Pep Comics #15 (May 1941), but the character only appeared in issues #16–21 before being cancelled to make room for a humor strip featuring new character Archie Andrews in issue #22.

The first Madam Satan is originally named Tyra, a black-hearted woman who is engaged to a wealthy man simply for his money. When confronted by his parents, Tyra poisons their wine and drives their bodies off a cliff. However, as they are dying, they are able to tell their son what his fiancée has done. The son struggles with Tyra, who ends up falling on her own knife. He kisses her lifeless body and immediately dies. Her spirit is then summoned by Satan, who dubs her "Madam Satan" and makes her his partner. On his orders, Madam Satan returns to Earth, now as Iola, to wreak havoc on mankind through her fatal kiss. Much to Satan’s dismay, her plans are constantly thwarted by Brother Sunbeam, the spirit of goodness, who tries to capture her spirit in a bottle.

Madam Satan appears as a dark-haired beauty in her human form, but in her true form, she has a green skull face with skull-studded eyes. Her powers as Madam Satan include hypnotic control, teleportation, shape-shifting, and a deadly kiss.
