History
The Madripoor Set is the modern name of an ancient set of six gemstones. Its true name and origin is unknown. According to the legend, recorded in a temple on the island of Madripoor, the set possess terrible power, and the last time it was gathered it lead to the Fall of Atlantis.[1]
At some point the set was separated. The ruby ended up in the hands of Ororo Munroe's ancestor and became their family heirloom, passed down from mother to daughter for countless generations. The history of the other gems is unknown, but in modern times one of them ended up in the hands of Miles Warbeck. The Thieves Guild also knew about their existence and secretly kept an eye on them, if anyone gathered more than one gemstone, the Guild stole them, so that no one could gather the full set.[1]
Khan, an alien conqueror from another dimension wanted to invade the Earth. He learned about the Madripoor Set and sent his best warrior Shaitan to gather all gems. Eventually he attacked Storm and stole her ruby as well. Entire set was activated and opened a giant portal the size of the entire Madripoor island.[1] The X-Men managed to defeat Khan and his army[2] and Storm apparently got the ruby back. The fate of other gems is unknown.Properties
- Interdimensional Portal Creation: The set was used to open a giant portal the size of the entire Madripoor island.[1] The ruby was also able to open portals, but much smaller in size. It is unknown if other gems had the same power.
