Sauron is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Neal Adams and first appeared in The X-Men #59 (August 1969). Sauron is the alter ego of physician Dr. Karl Lykos. After being bitten by mutated pterodactyls, Lykos transformed into an energy vampire who can absorb the life force of others by touching them. If Lykos absorbs the life force of mutants, he transforms into a humanoid pteranodon, gaining increased strength and speed. However, this also causes Sauron to gain control over Lykos. Throughout his history, Sauron has often been depicted as a resident of the hidden prehistoric jungle of the Savage Land and as an enemy of the X-Men.
