History
The young mutant known as Basilisk grew up with much persecution due to his abnormal appearance, and as such developed a very aggressive personality. Having lower than average intelligence, Basilisk was quick to anger, but his rage was just as easily quelled.[2]
After the X-Men went public, Basilisk became a student at the Xavier Institute. He was placed in Xorn's Special Class. On a camping trip with the Special Class, Basilisk was attacked by the U-Men, humans who hunted mutants for their organs. Basilisk saved the class from one of the U-Men, but only after Ernst told him that No-Girl would agree to date him.[2][4]
Shortly afterwards, Xorn "revealed" himself as Magneto, though he was in fact merely impersonating him. Basilisk joined his Brotherhood. Unfortunately, during Xorn's assault against New York City, he struck out at Basilisk, accidentally killing him.[5]Attributes
Powers
Paralyzing Light: Basilisk was a mutant. His mutation greatly changed his physique and gave him a brain seizure that can generate a pulses of high-frequency strobe light emitted from his eye. This light completely paralyze any sentient being that looks at it, causing them to fall into a rigid state akin to a deer caught in the headlights of a car.[4][6]
