She is the main villain of the animated Disney film The Rescuers.

Disney Vs Non Disney Villains[]

Origins[]

Carmella Moro was the only child of Salvatore "Medusa" Moro, a powerful crime-boss living in New York City, so named because his wrath would cause his enemies to freeze up in terror. From childhood, Carmella was used to getting everything she wanted from her doting father. Salvatore treated his daughter to expensive gifts including jewels, cars, clothes, and even two pet alligators, Brutus and Nero. Only one thing was denied Carmella: love.

Despite Carmella's wealth and power, which would make any other woman the object of desire for any suitor, she was considered a hideous woman. People used to joke (out of earshot) that Carmella had more than earned her father's nickname of "Medusa", though for entirely different reasons. That all changed when she met Silvio "Snoops" Amatuna. No looker himself, Silvio could respect the talents that most men overlooked in Carmella. There was only one problem: Silvio worked for Salvatore Medusa's most powerful enemy, "Big" Ben Badun.

Salvatore forbade his daughter from seeing Silvio, even launching a war against Badun to keep their organizations separate. But Carmella would not be deterred. One night, Carmella went to her father and begged him to let her and Silvio be together. He adamantly refused. In desperation, Carmella took up her father's shotgun and threatened to shoot herself. Salvatore told her to go right ahead. Carmella pulled the trigger, but was not aiming for herself.

When Salvatore's men burst into the room, they found Carmella weeping over her father's bloody corpse. She told them the gun went off accidentally, despite the fact that Salvatore had been shot six times.

With Salvatore dead, Carmella took control of the organization. Making peace with Badun's own successor Bill Sykes, she and Silvio were married. However, Carmella could not stand to remain in the city where her father died. Moving to New Orleans, took over the criminal underworld in the Deep South. Snoops remained by her side the whole time.

Early Encounters with Carface[]

Carface, the most powerful criminal in the war, sees Medusa's mining operation as a threat. Most importantly, Carface seeks the Devil's Eye, a massive diamond Medusa is hell-bent on finding. Carface thus brings his associate, Killer, to help eliminate her. When their first attempt to gun her down fails, they encounter her at her estate, only for Medusa to send Carface into the water. Carface barely manages to escape the bloodthirsty Brutus and Nero, Medusa's crocodiles.

Allying with Cruella[]

Cruella de Vil encounters similar troubled with Cat R. Waul , Carface's right-hand cat, and thus proposes an alliance to Medusa. Admiring Cruella's malevolence, Medusa accepts. WithEdgarHorace, and Jasper, the two set out to eliminate Waul and Carface once and for all. Before doing so, however, Medusa and de Vil contact the now unemployed Mr. Lickboot, having lost his client, Aunt Figg, earlier in the war. He agrees to fund their operation.

Taking Out the Animals - Vs Cat R. Waul[]

Medusa and Cruella attack Carface's base of operations during a performance by Darla Dimple, as the witnesses would be preoccupied with the actress' performance. Though Pete interrupts the performance, the operation is wholly successful, with Cruella eliminating Carface and Edgar killing Darla's deranged butler, Max. Medusa takes the stage, attempting to kill Cat R. Waul in front of the entire audience. While she demoralizes a few henchmen with her pot-shots, Waul himself shoots her in the leg. Before Waul can take another shot, though, Medusa hunts him down and sends him scurrying onto a giant mouse-trap. Shooting the mechanism, Medusa sends Waul careening through the air, into a US mailing bag... right before it is taken by a train. Cruella and Medusa delight in their newfound criminal empire.

Only a Pawn in Their Game[]

Medusa is a low level mobster in the employ of Sykes in the beginning of the war. She busies herself with various criminal projects in Devil's Bayou, receiving funding from her boss. She soon learns of a gang war escalating in New York City, in which Sykes is killed. Medusa thus falls under the control of an ever rotating group of leaders, from Mace Malone to Tombstone to the Green Goblin.

The Green Goblin proves to be the least conducive of Medusa's employers to funding her projects. Eventually, he cuts the funding entirely, as the project is not making the mob any money. Furious, Medusa hires Chang to terminate the Green Goblin. She fails, but the Green Goblin kills Chang before she gets a chance to divulge the name of her employer. Medusa is content to wait out the gang war, taking pleasure when Negaduck eliminates the Green Goblin.

Taking Charge[]

Medusa's buisness under Negaduck was short lived but Medusa supported him. For the Gangwar, Medusa introduced Negaduck to Horace and Jasper and provided him heavy weaponry. However, Negaduck's ambition proved to be his undoing. However, Negaduck's war did manage to create a power vacuum.

Immediately upon recieving news of the vacuum, Medusa went to Crime Central to claim the empire. She arrived just after Kingpin and challenged him for full control of New York's criminal underworld. After a wild battle with Medusa's shotgun, Medusa was able to take out the rear rotor of Kingpin's helicopter and send him plummeting into the Hudson River. Following this, Medusa was named the new Kingpin of crime and used Smythe and Hammerhead as well as fellow crime lord, Owl's, support to allow her to hold control.

This enraged Medusa and, coupled with the news of Sandman's failure, did not create a pretty picture.

In Louisiana, Madam Medusa had captured the frog princess Tiana, another victim of Doctor Facilier, intending to take her to Maleficent to use to summon Chernabog. However, Tiana's lover, the true Prince Naveen, also a frog, witnessed the kidnapping and used his tongue to latch onto Medusa's boat, following her back to her lair in an old steamship. Medusa's pet alligators Brutus and Nero caught Naveen's scent, but he wasn't alone, having brought the alligator Louis and firefly Ray with him. Showing himself, Naveen frightened Medusa, who ordered her henchman Snoops to attack the frog with a broom, only for Naveen to dodge the clumsy attacks. In the chaos, Snoops destroyed the chair Medusa was standing on. Recovering, Medusa threw a frying pan at Naveen, who dodged, but left himself open for Snoops to crush him with a book. Louis moved in to help, but Medusa retrieved a shotgun and shot the alligator in the tail. Ray charged into Medusa, knocking her down, but as Naveen managed to release Tiana, Brutus and Nero charged in to devour them. The two frogs knocked the cage that had held Tiana down on the alligator's heads, giving them a path to the exit. Medusa had recovered and tried to shoot them, but her gun jammed.

As Cruella and her forces began to get the upper hand, Dodger's owner Fagin crashed through the window on his motor-scooter, knocking the villains aside.

Though she may have lost the puppies, Cruella was determined to get them back, and she and her gang leapt into their respective vehicles to give chase to Fagin and company. Cruella and Medusa followed Fagin onto the train tracks, but Edgar made a wrong turn and came back to the surface, where Napoleon and Lafayette were waiting for him. However, the dogs soon found themselves heading for the railway, where they ran into Medusa, splitting the motorcycle and sidecar apart, while Medusa was knocked into a ditch on the side of the road.Cruella and her minions were not as fortunate, as the train knocked them off the bridge, though they survived.

As some of the other animals began to sense something was wrong, Koda slipped in unnoticed and freed Kenai from the snare. While the other hunters kept the animal heroes cornered, Clayton moved in to deal the death blow to Bambi, but before he could do so, the Firebird appeared over the ridge.

Though Pete recognized the danger, Madame Medusa charged in and got knocked back with a blast of magic for her trouble. Finding a second wind, Donald charged Winkie and beat him over the head with a broom before Winkie could bring his sword to bear.
