Origins:
 
Basil Elks was a convicted burglar with an undistinguished criminal career. While in prison, he was given the ironic nickname of "Basilisk" due to his real name and his unlikely contrast to the fearsome mythological monster.
After leaving prison, Elks attempted to steal a large gem from a New York City museum, but was caught by a museum guard. The guard's bullet from his gun struck the gem, causing it to explode, which transformed Elks into a superhuman being. Elks then easily overpowered the guard and escaped. Elks learned that the gem was actually the Alpha-Stone, a power object once possessed by the alien race known as the Kree and stolen by a Kree starship crewman. Elks then took it upon himself to find the other such gem, the Omega-Stone, in order to increase his powers.
