BASILISK

 

BASILISK V

Real Name: Michael Columbus

First Appearance: New X-Men (Vol. 1) #135, February 2003

Powers: Basilisk V's mutation gave him an overly-fleshy head that is devoid of features except for sunken ears, a slit-like mouth, and a single eye socket in the center.

His mutant power was the ability to produce a narrow-band photon energy from his single eye, controlled by a mechanical implant to produce strobe pulses of light that temporarily paralyze anyone caught in its glare.
