#MorganleFay
Musical Interlude: Here's a bit of dark fun. This is a number from the Rogers & Hart musical "A Connecticut Yankee," in which Morgan le Fay sings of how, rather than cheating on her husbands, she just killed them. It wasn't part of the original musical, but was added for a revival where the character was made more a comic anti-heroine.
"To Keep My Love Alive," performed by Ella Fitzgerald.

Morgan le Fay "espied [her husband] King Uriens lying in his bed sleeping. Then she called unto her a maiden of her counsel, and said, 'Go fetch me my lord’s sword, for I saw never better time to slay him than now.'"
- Thomas Malory, "Le Morte d'Arthur"

The earliest version of Morgan le Fay was Queen Morgen, a benevolent fairy sorceress who ruled the enchanted island of Avalon with her sisters Moronoe, Mazoe, Gliten, Glitonea, Gliton, Tyronoe, Thiten, and Thiton. They brought the dying King Arthur to Avalon to heal his wounds.

"King Lot wedded Morgause, Gawaine’s mother, and King Nentres wedded Elaine.... And the third sister Morgan le Fay was put to school in a nunnery, and there she learned so much that she was a great scholar of necromancy."
- Thomas Malory, "Le Morte d'Arthur"

To avenge the death of Accolon at the hand of King Arthur, Morgan le Fay stole the scabbard of Excalibur and threw it into a lake. The lack of the scabbard and its magical power of protection would prove disastrous for Arthur during his final battle with Mordred. #WyrdWednesday

And yes, i know its wrong, and yes, i do think of Morgan le Fay.
But maybe tooting about it helps. Or i come up with a mnemonic.
"Meanwhile, Morgan le Fay had guessed King Arthur had been killed [by her lover Accolon]. She called to one of her maidens, and said, 'Go fetch me my lord’s sword, for I saw never better time to slay [my husband] than now.'"

THE STORY:
Morgan, Arthur's sister, one day caught the knight she loved in the arms of another young lady. She bewitched the place and decided that any knight passing through this valley would be condemned to stay there if he failed in love. For twenty years, two hundred and fifty three knights have been living there with their mistresses, without anyone being able to leave it. This Val is for them "without return", until the day when will deliver them a knight with the heart which will never have failed in love: Lancelot.

Wer kennt sie nicht, die meist böse, aber zumindest zwielichtig dargestellte Morgaine, Morgana oder auch Morgan Le Fay (la Fée, Feimorgan, Feimurgân oder auch Famurgan/Fâmurgân). Aber auf jeden Fall ist sie bekanntermassen Artus Halbschwester und ist meist mies drauf, da sie ja ihre ganzen Kräfte an Merlin verloren hat und diese doch gerne wieder hätte.

Morgan Le Fay ist die Halbschwester von König Artus und Merlins einstige Geliebte. Vor knapp 1.500 Jahren wollte sie, nachdem Artus von seinem Sohn Mordred getötet worden war, nach der Königskrone greifen und die Macht an sich reißen. Da hierfür ihre eigenen Kräfte nicht ausreichten, wollte sie die von Merlin rauben. Ausgerechnet von ihrem Ex – und demjenigen, der sie ausgebildet hatte. Das ging aber bitter schief.

In hindsight this is really interesting. Had Betsy indeed faught like her life is cheap and allowed Brian to kill her, then she would have been lost forever (or brought back “different”).
Also, I am still very confused why Rogue didn’t keep •--|A|--•‘s powers. When she put Carol Danvers in a coma she kept those powers forever. She killed •--|A|--•… so shouldn’t she still be blue?
