Summary

In Episode 90 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Jordan Blok mourn for Melody Jacobs, the theatrical Threnody! Created by Fabian Nicieza and Richard Bennett, tragic Thren's mutation attunes her to death around the world, driving her dangerously insane. After a memorable arc in early 90s X-Men, she became Nate Grey's love interest in the ongoing series X-Man — until her cruel power dragged her into the darkness.

The CEREBRO character file on Threnody begins at 1:56:35.

(Content Advisory: Thren's story includes racism, ableism, body horror, traumatic pregnancy, and the murder of an infant.)

1:05.9	childhood was young. But now that she is an adult, her Vagnarian opus,
1:12.5	her glorious song of despair,
1:15.2	has yet to rock the world.
