History: Years ago, a wealthy man called Dr. Anderssen hired Karl Lykos' father as a guide to a trip in Tierra del Fuego, during that, Henderssen's young daughter Tanya disappeared, and it was Karl (also a child) who found her inside a cave full of pterodactyls. While defending Tanya from mutant pterodactyls, Karl was bitten by one of the creatures. During his recovery, he discovered that he could now drain the life-force of other organisms, when he touched his dog and drain his force for himself and recover instantly.
He found himself repeatedly tempted to use his new power, feeling that he needed to drain life energy from other humans or animals to survive. When Karl's father died, Mr. Anderssen took Karl into his home in thanks for rescuing Tanya. As the years passed, Karl and Tanya fell in love. But Tanya's wealthy father would not allow her to date Karl, because of his lack of wealth. In an effort to win Mr. Anderssen's support, Karl went to medical school and became a physician. He treated patients through hypnosis, but secretly robbed them of energy at the same time.
Dr. Lykos became a colleague of Professor Charles Xavier, but while Xavier had been looking for mutants to help them, Dr. Lykos secretly wanted to drain their force. When Havok was injured by the Living Monolith, they sought treatment with Dr. Lykos. He absorbed energy from the young mutant, and a horrible side-effect happened: he transformed into a vampiric, pterodactyl-like monster with human intelligence and superhuman hypnotic powers. He named himself Sauron, after the main antagonist from Lord of the Rings, and battled the X-Men.
When Sauron got to Dr. Anderssen's apartment in order to kill him and steal Tanya, the X-Men stopped him. He realized that Tanya would never love him as a villain and a murderer, and flew back to Tierra del Fuego to die alone without human contact. Tanya realized that he was at her father's old mountain home and went there by herself, only to watch Karl jump off a cliff in order to prevent himself from killing her and drain her energies.
At first presumed dead, Karl actually survived, merely unconscious on a ledge below. He journeyed to the Savage Land and survived in human form by only draining energy from animals. He befriended Ka-Zar and used his medical skills over many months to care for Ka-Zar's allies. But when several X-Men were stranded in the Savage Land, Lykos was again overwhelmed with the desire to absorb the powerful life energy of mutants. He transformed into Sauron once again after absorbing Storm's energy. He reverted back to human form during a battle with the X-Men, and Ka-Zar explained that Lykos was an ally.
After a while, Tanya learned that Karl had survived the leap from the cliff. She joined Angel and Spider-Man on a journey to find Karl in the Savage Land. Unfortunately, he had reverted to his Sauron form and joined the Savage Land Mutates. The X-Men traveled to the Savage Land again and defeated Sauron and the Mutates. They brought Lykos back to the United States, and at the X-Mansion Professor X seemingly cured Lykos of his condition.
Karl and Tanya decided to resume their relationship and a normal life. But after some time Karl was captured by rogue elements of Department H and taken to be part of a revived Weapon X Project. After a hellish battery of tests and torture Sauron was brought out once more, stronger and angrier than ever. They thought they had him under control, testing him by draining several innocent beings, but their mistake came when Karl realized one of the people he had drained dead...was Tanya.
The first chance he got he sucked a mutant dry of his power and broke free. He slaughtered everyone in the building, prisoner and project member alike in his rage and escaped. It took the X-Men 3 days of fighting to bring him down. Sauron fought like a man possessed (ironically) and nearly killed Havok in his wake.
He was turned over to SHIELD, who decided to make use of his powers by sending him to Task Force Thunder. Given an implant in his neck, a bomb. Both Karl and Sauron were told that if they went rogue like before, it would be triggered and they'd die. Sauron is awoken by letting Karl barely feed on an anonymous volunteer just enough to awaken Sauron. When not under watch or on the field they stay in an apartment sized cell. Both being bide their time, hoping the next mission will be of benefit. Their hate ever burning.
Equipment: Sometimes Sauron uses machines made to help drain life forces, sometimes from multiple targets at once.
Powers: In his human form Karl Lykos is a fairly typical doctor, except he keeps his ability to absorb the life forces of other living things to sustain himself. If he absorbs the life force of a mutant this will trigger his transformation into his pterodactyl form and also he will absorb a portion of their powers temporarily. Due to manipulation by the Weapon X program, Sauron can expel the life force energy in concussive bursts from his hands.
In the pterodactyl form he is superhumanly strong (Has an upper limit of 10 tons without draining a mutant for an additional boost) and possesses the ability to fly at a natural winged flight limit. In battle Sauron has several additional weapons; a lethal beak and sharp talons on his hands and feet.
Also from the Weapon X project he acquired an additional ability to breathe fire which he used to burn the second Black Widow in revenge for shooting him.
He also has an amplified hypnotic ability when he is in his pterodactyl form, that requires direct eye contact to complete. He frequently uses his hypnotic power to give his victims terrifying delusions that allies have become monsters.
Skills: Karl Lykos is a skilled psychiatrist. Both Karl and Sauron have enough mechanical aptitude to make machines to help him drain life energies. Sauron is also knowledgeable in Reptilian, Mutant and Dinosaur genetics, as is proven by his secondary goal, make more beings like him.
Weaknesses: Sauron needs Mutant life energies to maintain his form. Karl is human.
Trivia (optional):
- Spider-Man once called Sauron out, saying he was smart enough to cure cancer. Sauron retorted by saying he just wanted to make Dinosaur People.
- Sauron is not a fan of Stegron.
- He hates Darkwing Duck as he does not know who the Hell Dr. Fossil is.
