Alias:

Joe Smith.

Nationality:

Tierra del Fuego

First Appearance:

X-Men (1st series) #59

Powers & Abilities:

human pterodactyl with augmented strength, speed, aerial agility and reflexes, a hypnotic stare, razor sharp talons, large leather wings, and can absorb human energy to whet his vampiric appetites or more general forms of energy to rechannel through his hands as destructive blasts

Affiliation:

Beast Brood, Brotherhood of Evil Mutants IV, Hellfire Academy, X-Men: Green

Notes:

Sauron is a non-mutant variant, whose mutagenic nature was triggered after he was attacked by pteranodons. Sauron has undergone failed enhancement procedures with the Weapon X Program so that he apparently has lost his hypnotic power, can absorb energy from close proximity instead of direct contact, and can change back to Lykos at will.

Lykos claims to have been born in Tierra del Fuego, but that region is separated between two countries, making him potentially Argentinian or Chilean by birth.
