Origin
起源
Years ago, a wealthy man called Dr. Anderssen hired Karl Lykos’ father as a
guide to a trip in Tierra del Fuego, during that, Anderssen’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.
多年前，有一個有錢人叫做安德森醫生，他雇用了卡爾‧萊克的父親當他的導遊，為他導
覽火地群島，期間，安德森的女兒譚雅失蹤，是卡爾（也是小孩）在一個翼龍的洞穴中找
到她。當時為了保護譚雅，卡爾被其中一隻變種翼龍給咬了。在他治傷期間，他發現自己
可以吸收其他有機體的生命能量，他碰觸自己養的狗，吸乾牠的能量後很快就痊癒了。
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.
他發現自己很喜歡一再使用這種新能力，而且他必須吸別人或動物的生命能量才能存活。
當卡爾的父親死後，安德森為了答謝他救了自己女兒，而把他帶到自己家裡。時光流逝，
卡爾和譚雅墜入愛河，但是譚雅的富爸爸根本不准他們約會，因為卡爾沒錢。為了贏得安
德森的支持，卡爾去上醫學院而且成為內科醫生。他透過催眠治療病患，但他也同時奪取
這些病人的生命能量。
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.
後來，卡爾變成Ｘ教授的同事，但當Ｘ教授尋找變種人並幫助他們時，卡爾卻暗中想吸取
他們的能量。有一次Havok被Living Monolith所傷，他們找卡爾尋求治療。他吸取了年輕
突變人的能量，但發生了可怕的副作用。他變成一隻像翼龍的怪物，但同時擁有人類的智
能和超出常人的催眠能力。他稱自己為索倫，名字來自魔戒的大反派，並與Ｘ戰警作戰。
When Sauron got to Dr. Anderssen’s apartment in order to kill him and steal
Tanya, the X-Men stopped him, and then he realized that Tanya would never
love him as a villain and murderer, and fly away back to Tierra del Fuego to
die alone without human contact. Tanya realize that he is at her father’s
old mountain house and go there by herself, only to watch Karl jump off a
cliff in order to prevent himself killing her and drain her energies.
當索倫到達安達森的公寓意圖殺其父而奪其女，Ｘ戰警阻止了他，而且他體會到譚雅永遠
不會愛一個壞蛋殺人犯，於是他飛回火地群島，準備一個人孤單到老死，不和任何人接觸
。譚雅知道卡爾在她父親山上的老屋子裡而隻身前往，但卡爾為了怕自己會殺她或吸她的
能量，而跳下山崖。
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.
原先以為卡爾已死，但其實他還活著，他只是昏倒在岩礁下而已。他旅行到了蠻荒地帶，
而且只吸取動物的能量，使他恢復人類的型態。他和Ka-Zar成了朋友，而且運用醫術，花
了幾個月的時間照顧Ka-Zar的盟友。但當幾名Ｘ戰警被困在蠻荒地帶時，卡爾又被想吸取
變種人能量的欲望給打敗了。他吸取風暴女的力量後，又再度變成索倫。在與Ｘ戰警的戰
鬥中，他恢復了人形，Ka-Zar也解釋卡爾是他的盟友。
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.
又過一陣子，譚雅發現卡爾跳崖之後沒死。他加入天使和蜘蛛人的行列，一起旅行前往蠻
荒地帶尋找卡爾。很不幸，當時卡爾已經變成索倫形態，並加入蠻荒突變同盟。Ｘ戰警再
度前往蠻荒地帶並且打敗索倫及其同夥的突變人。他們帶卡爾回美國Ｘ大宅，Ｘ教授表面
上似乎將他治癒。
Karl and Tanya decided to resume their relationship and a normal life.
卡爾和譚雅決定重新修復他們的關係，並過普通的生活。
Powers
能力
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.
扣除他吸收別的生物能量來維持自己之外，人形的卡爾是一個頗為典型的醫生。當他吸收
變種人的能量時，會觸發自己轉變為翼龍型態，而他也會暫時性吸收突變人一部分的能力
。由於被Weapon X動過手腳的關係，索倫也能將吸來的能量轉為爆炸式能量從手掌排出。
In the pterodactyl form he is superhumanly strong 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.
翼龍型態的他則有超人的強壯，而且能夠飛行。戰鬥方面索倫有多項額外的武器，包括致
命的鳥喙以及手足上有銳利的爪子。
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.
當他處於翼龍狀態時，催眠能力也會加強，不過必須透過直視對方眼睛。他多次使用催眠
能力使受害人產生盟友變成怪物的恐怖幻覺。
