Basilisk

Basil Elks was transformed into a reptilian humanoid with the power of the Kree Alpha Stone.

Basil Elks was originally a small time crook. One day he broke into a museum and was about to steal an emerald. Little did he know the emerald came from an alien world and possessed power. When he was about to grab it, the guards at the museum shot at Elks but missed. Instead the guard's bullets hit the emerald and all of a sudden this turns Elks into a powerful reptilian being. He attacks the guards and later decides to start a new life as a super villains and begins to call himself the Basilisk.

Basilisk would occasionally come into conflicts with Spider-Man. However his career as a villain was some-what short lived as the masked anti-hero Scourge shot Basilisk and instantly killed him.

Years later Basilisk would be brought back from the grave with other villains killed by Scourge by the Hood. The Hood then tells Basilisk and the other villains the the Punisher was Scourge all along and waned the villains to kill him. Basilisk wanted to kill Punisher on his own terms and him and Death Adder walk out of the group to kill the Punisher themselves.

Marvel Adventures

Basilisk would be involved in a story taking place in the Marvel Adventures comics which are standalone stories and does not take place in the current Marvel Universe continuity.

Egghead would form a team consisting of Basilisk, Xeron the Starslayer, Cobalt Man, Psycho Man, Invincible Man and Gargantua to take down the Fantastic Four. Egghead and his team wanted to gather as much information on the Fantastic Four before heading into battle. They were able to steal some FF uniforms and spray millions of subatomic cameras onto the fabric. Egghead and his team would sell photos and information gathered from the Fantastic Four to the paparazzi, particularly a tabloid newspaper called the Super Hero Trumpet.
