Siege

When Norman Osborn led his Avengers and H.A.M.M.E.R. into battle with Asgard - which hovered over Broxton - the Roberts family were affected by the war taking place not far from them. Jimmy decided to go and record footage of the war, with the ambition of selling it for lucrative amounts, and left with Susie leaving Madison to once again watch her younger sister Kim.

Learning of the direness of the situation in Asgard from TV, Madison took Kim to go find their parents and retreat to a safe shelter. Just as she found them, the Sentry brought the entirity of Asgard down from the sky and onto Broxton with the Roberts family caught in the carnage.

As the, now separated, family stumbled around searching for each other in the aftermath of the collapse of the floating city, Madison and Kim encountered a member of the Masters of Evil called Razor-Fist. Realizing that things were going bad and he was out of his depth, Razor-Fist took the two young girls hostage to be used as a bargaining chip or simply something to kill if he gets bored.

Before Razor-Fist could do any such thing, he was confronted by both Captains America; Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, who demanded he release the captive girls. As Razor-Fist taunted the heroes, he was taken by surprise when Madison fought back and kicked him. He responded by slashing at her with his razor blade arms and badly hurting her.

As Bucky ran to battle Razor-Fist, Steve looked over the injured Madison and attempted to help her. Razor-Fist, luckily, had just missed slicing her jugular and Madison would live with Steve's help. After securing Madison's condition, Steve joined Bucky in defeating Razor-Fist. With the villain subdued, the two Captains rushed forth to continue the battle alongside their fellow Avengers against Osborn's forces as the Madison family remained behind.

Powers and Abilities

Madison Roberts possesses no superhuman abilities and is just an ordinary girl. Despite this, she did attempt to defend herself against Razor-Fist, suggesting bravery is one thing she doesn't lack.
