==Background==
The Serpent Crown (aka the Helmet of Power, Crown of Lemuria, Helmet of the Ancients, and Seven-Headed Serpent Crown of Lost Lemuria) is a mystical artefact created by mortals, per the instructions sent to them by the Elder God Set. They grant men a variety of powers but serve as tools for Set to control those individuals.
The powers which men receive vary depending on the individual, and have included mind reading, hypnosis, mental manipulation of matter & energy (e.g. creating earthquakes), superhuman strength & endurance, creating illusions, levitation, communication with others wearing the Serpent Crown (including those in other dimensions), and powerful destructive mystical bolts.
