BEWARE THE BASILISK MY SON! Captain Marvel has sent his partner Rick Jones to New York City after he detected a Kree energy source of the long-lost Alpha Stone, a powerful emerald crystal. At that very moment at a museum, a thief named Basil Elks eyes the mysterious stone. Breaking the display case, he removes the coveted object. He thinks about how this will prove to the other convicts in prison that Basil Elks, who they jokingly referred to as Basilisk, was a criminal in his own right. His thoughts are interrupted when he is caught red-handed by a security guard. Before Basil can draw his gun, the officer fires and through a twist of fate strikes the Alpha Stone. The gem is shattered by the bullet, releasing energies that transform Basil into a green-skinned form. The frightened officer tries to flee, but when Elks tells him to freeze, he is surprised when his eyes fire energy that freezes the guard in his tracks. Realizing what he has done, Basil looks in the mirror and is amazed by his transformation. Realizing that he can transmute matter with his eye beams, Basil reshapes a suit of armor into a costume and decides to take on the moniker that has taunted him...
