After graduating law school, Madison returned to Millennium City and got a job at the District Attorney office and worked her way up to ADA. Her first case as ADA was to expose Giovanni De Luna for crimes in sex and child trafficking. She immediately took the case due to her past sexual assault and wanting to prevent anyone from experiencing what she did. However, this case was more than what it appeared as De Luna was just a front for I.N.A.D Laboratories, who sent their top-notch assassin, Tenebra--who closely resembles Madison--to kill De Luna before he could expose I.N.A.D's operations. Madison witnessed the murder and use her powers to defeat Tenebra before she could kill her. This confrontation caused a long rivalry between the two. Tenebra attacked City Hall and Sidney Bryant which caused Madison to become the superhero, Eclipse.
