Biography

Lykos was a doctor in a minor hospital in Manhattan, until being shot caused him to lose control of his minor energy draining powers and develop a new and startling ability to change into a humanoid pterodactyl.

The nearly fatal wound caused him to have a surge in what was formerly a very minor ability to drain the energy of others, and he killed one of the EMT's trying to stabilize him and nearly killed the other. The overload of energy triggered the manifestation of his other power. Panicked, he fled, instinctively flying away on the newly developed wings.

The EMT who survived reported the identity of their now-missing patient, and the NYPD put out a missing persons report and a call for him to be questioned. Unwilling to admit to what he had done and fearing prison, Lykos hid, resorting to petty theft to survive, unhinging him further and driving him into a severe paranoid state.

Powers/Abilities

Lykos has the ability to absorb the energy of other living creatures, including (and preferring) human beings and other mutants. He has limited control over how much he takes, tending to err on the side of 'too much', which often triggers his transformation into his pterodactyl form.

In pterodactyl form he is superhumanly strong and is capable of flight, with a fifteen foot wingspan. Like Jay Guthrie and Janet Van Dyne the wings are an additional set of limbs, and not part of his arms. He also has a hard beak and sharp talons on his hands and feet, and a long tail. In pterodactyl form he has reptilian physiology, and is cold-blooded.
