Helias

Helias is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #191, released in March 1985. Helias is depicted as a male mutant with the ability to manipulate psychic energy. His powers manifest as telepathic and telekinetic abilities, allowing him to read minds, project illusions, and move objects with his thoughts.

Originally introduced as an antagonist to the X-Men, Helias was portrayed as a member of the mutant community who held a deep-seated resentment towards humans. His motivations often stemmed from a belief in mutant superiority and a desire to see mutants rule over humans. Over time, his character arc has seen shifts in allegiance and a more nuanced portrayal of his mutant ideology.

Helias's origins are tied to his mutant nature, which emerged during his adolescence, causing him to be ostracized by his non-mutant peers. This early experience contributed to his hardening worldview and his embrace of a more militant approach to mutant rights. His abilities have made him a formidable opponent, capable of challenging even the most powerful members of the X-Men. While his exact affiliation has varied throughout his comic book history, he remains a significant figure within the mutant landscape of the Marvel Universe, often representing the more extreme factions of mutantkind.
