## In the comics,

Madeline had another daughter, Gayle Watson, who was MJ's sister. Like the comics, Philip was verbally abusive to his wife and their daughters. After he struck Gayle, Madeline had enough and moved her, MJ and Gayle far away from her husband. Madeline ended up getting cancer and passed away. Her death caused MJ pursue an acting career, driving her away from her sister.
