Elias Bogan

Elias Bogan, also known as Lord Imperial, is a mutant.

Powers and Abilities
The exact nature of Bogan's mutant ability is unknown, although he has never been seen with a physical body only as a floating pair of red eyes. He prefers to work through other telepaths. Once a telepath is under his possession he can use that telepath to possess others, but that begs the question of how he possessed the first telepath. There is some evidence that he may, in fact, be a psychic entity, like the Shadow King. When Bogan's associate, Oliver Ryland, was temporarily resurrected as part of a Danger Room scenario he taunted Sage that only his body had been killed and that she could have joined him as part of Bogan for whom flesh is nothign and the mind is all.

Whatever his nature, he is extremely powerful and is able to possess some of the most powerful minds on th eplanet, including Emma Frost and Rachel Summers at the same time. Those under his control will usually bleed from the eyes.
