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，有一个有钱人叫做安德森医生，他雇用了卡尔‧莱克的父亲当他的导游，为他导
览火地群岛，期间，安德森的女儿谭雅失踪，是卡尔（也是小孩）在一个翼龙的洞穴中找
到她。当时为了保护谭雅，卡尔被其中一只变种翼龙给咬了。在他治伤期间，他发现自己
可以吸收其他有机体的生命能量，他碰触自己养的狗，吸干牠的能量后很快就痊愈了。
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.
他发现自己很喜欢一再使用这种新能力，而且他必须吸别人或动物的生命能量才能存活。
当卡尔的父亲死后，安德森为了答谢他救了自己女儿，而把他带到自己家里。时光流逝，
卡尔和谭雅坠入爱河，但是谭雅的富爸爸根本不准他们约会，因为卡尔没钱。为了赢得安
德森的支持，卡尔去上医学院而且成为内科医生。他透过催眠治疗病患，但他也同时夺取
这些病人的生命能量。
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.
后来，卡尔变成Ｘ教授的同事，但当Ｘ教授寻找变种人并帮助他们时，卡尔却暗中想吸取
他们的能量。有一次Havok被Living Monolith所伤，他们找卡尔寻求治疗。他吸取了年轻
突变人的能量，但发生了可怕的副作用。他变成一只像翼龙的怪物，但同时拥有人类的智
能和超出常人的催眠能力。他称自己为索伦，名字来自魔戒的大反派，并与Ｘ战警作战。
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.
当索伦到达安达森的公寓意图杀其父而夺其女，Ｘ战警阻止了他，而且他体会到谭雅永远
不会爱一个坏蛋杀人犯，于是他飞回火地群岛，准备一个人孤单到老死，不和任何人接触
。谭雅知道卡尔在她父亲山上的老屋子里而只身前往，但卡尔为了怕自己会杀她或吸她的
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.
原先以为卡尔已死，但其实他还活着，他只是昏倒在岩礁下而已。他旅行到了蛮荒地带，
而且只吸取动物的能量，使他恢复人类的型态。他和Ka-Zar成了朋友，而且运用医术，花
了几个月的时间照顾Ka-Zar的盟友。但当几名Ｘ战警被困在蛮荒地带时，卡尔又被想吸取
变种人能量的欲望给打败了。他吸取风暴女的力量后，又再度变成索伦。在与Ｘ战警的战
斗中，他恢复了人形，Ka-Zar也解释卡尔是他的盟友。
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.
又过一阵子，谭雅发现卡尔跳崖之后没死。他加入天使和蜘蛛人的行列，一起旅行前往蛮
荒地带寻找卡尔。很不幸，当时卡尔已经变成索伦形态，并加入蛮荒突变同盟。Ｘ战警再
度前往蛮荒地带并且打败索伦及其同伙的突变人。他们带卡尔回美国Ｘ大宅，Ｘ教授表面
上似乎将他治愈。
Karl and Tanya decided to resume their relationship and a normal life.
卡尔和谭雅决定重新修复他们的关系，并过普通的生活。
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.
扣除他吸收别的生物能量来维持自己之外，人形的卡尔是一个颇为典型的医生。当他吸收
变种人的能量时，会触发自己转变为翼龙型态，而他也会暂时性吸收突变人一部分的能力
。由于被Weapon X动过手脚的关系，索伦也能将吸来的能量转为爆炸式能量从手掌排出。
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.
翼龙型态的他则有超人的强壮，而且能够飞行。战斗方面索伦有多项额外的武器，包括致
命的鸟喙以及手足上有锐利的爪子。
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.
当他处于翼龙状态时，催眠能力也会加强，不过必须透过直视对方眼睛。他多次使用催眠
能力使受害人产生盟友变成怪物的恐怖幻觉。
