==Summary==
Tomi Shishido, better known as The Gorgon is a mutant genius born in Kyoto, Japan. Even in infancy, his talents showed, as at just two weeks old, he spoke his first words. At thirteen years of age, Shishido had devised a mathematical formula that without question, proved the existence of God, but this revelation changed Shishido in a catastrophic manner. Believing that God's existence hindered mankind as man would be little more than subservient slaves if God existed, Shishido began to hate all gods, and began to desire to kill a god, along with all life on earth. During this time, Shishido learned he had the mutant power to turn people into stone with a glance, and the Japanese media dubbed him "Gorgon." Shortly after this, Gorgon formed the "Dawn of the White Light," a mutant death cult that subjected Japan to relentless terror attacks to complete their mission of ending all life. At eighteen years old, he searched for the Hand, drawing their attention by killing all of his loved ones, and committing suicide to prove his dedication to the organization. The Hand resurrected Gorgon promptly after this, and within a short time he became their leader, allowing him to continue his mission of ending all life.

Gorgon's intellect additionally extends to an in depth mastery of mystical techniquesHeroic Age: X-Men, which allow him to perform resurrectionsOld Man Logan (Vol. 2) #31, and manipulate the dragon under MadripoorAvengers World #1. Gorgon displays advanced knowledge over technology, and biology, as shown when he, along with other Hydra members, were able to reprogram Wolverine's mind into subservience to Hydra. Gorgon accomplished this by implanting an entirely new consciousness into Wolverine's psyche, and manipulating parts of his personality by directly modifying his brain. Gorgon also shows himself to be a capable chemist, as he planned to study and replicate the Regenix drug in his plan to take over MadripoorOld Man Logan (Vol. 2) #34. Gorgon was additionally able to comprehend Reed Richard's secret research, and help turn his designs into weapons that could eliminate all life on earthWolverine Vol 3 #27. The designs Gorgon and his team were bringing to life included Null, a two-hundred foot android intended to combat Galactus. Gorgon easily put together the fact that there was a traitor in the midst of Hydra soon after a Leviathan attackSecret Warriors #11-12. Even as a child, Gorgon displayed feats of intellect no normal human could replicate at such an age, speaking his first words by two weeks old, walking by three months old, becoming literate by his first birthday, being acclaimed as one of Japan's best painters at four years old, and composing operas at six years of age. At just thirteen years old, Gorgon devised a mathematical formula that, without question, proved the existence of God. Gorgon's intellect allowed him to complete his training with the Hand in a year, eventually taking over the organization within that time, and was crafty enough to take over Hydra within six months. Gorgon was able to take over Hydra by mystically and scientifically turning a random man into a completely indistinguishable genetic replica of Wolfgang von Strucker, the former head of HydraNew Thunderbolts #17. Gorgon strategically used this replica to replace Strucker, setting him up for a failure that would allow him to take his place as head of Hydra without suspicion. As an assassin for, and eventual head of Hydra, Gorgon learned several languages. Gorgon further shows his skill as a tactician and leader during his first tenure as leader of the Hand, having devised a highly elaborate trap to lure Wolverine to Japan by kidnapping the son of his friend. By making the abduction look like a mistake, Gorgon was able to successfully force Wolverine into negotiating with the kidnappers by making it appear as a relatively normal ransom demand, all the while preparing an ambush for him, which was just a further distraction that allowed Gorgon to kill Wolverine with a subsequent attack. Gorgon uses his murder, and subsequent capture of Wolverine as a further ploy to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D.'s entire infrastructure. He planted Wolverine in South America after brainwashing him, intentionally making his location available to S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to have Wolverine attack them internally after they recovered him. Within seventy-two hours of his leadership over Hydra, Gorgon was able to hatch a series of plans to assassinate Elektra, and hundreds of other super-people, eventually using them for attacks on S.H.I.E.L.D. themselves, destroying a Helicarrier, and all other backup stations in one fell swoop. Gorgon's strategic mind allowed him to form and lead the Dawn of the White Light, a terrorist group that unleashed several terror attacks upon Japan, without being caught. Through observation, Gorgon could deduce the dominant hands of multiple people, including ambidextrous onesX of Swords TPB #5. Gorgon is furthermore one of the most skilled fighters within the Marvel universe. Despite his young age, Gorgon is a master of several martial artsAll New Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe: A-Z (2005), and he possesses an impressive repertoire of victories over highly skilled martial artists, having defeated Elektra, Shang ChiAvengers World #3, and Wolverine, with Wolverine admitting that despite his vast arsenal of combat techniques, and experience, competing with Gorgon's skill is hopeless. Gorgon is skilled enough to mimic Wolverine's fighting style, and was able to use said fighting style to combat Iron FistNew Avengers (Vol. 2) #23. Gorgon's intellect, lethality, and versatility are all factors in him being consistently regarded as one of the most deadly mutants in the worldX-Men (2019) #4, even in league with Magneto, Apocalypse, and the Living MonolithHeroic Age: X-Men.
Weaknesses: If his vision were to be reflected upon his eyes, he would be turned to stone. Gorgon also wears masks and glasses to cancel out his own power due to his inability to turn his power off at will, although he can take these items off in battle. Destroying his eyes will render Gorgon unable to use the abilityCable (2020) Issue #6. Can take some time to heal more serious woundsAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Vol 16.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Mutant Gaze: Gorgon's most famous power is his power to turn those who look at his eyes to stone. Although Gorgon cannot turn this power off, wearing masks or glasses allows him to circumvent this limitation. Gorgon can kill several people at once who look at his eyes instantly, allowing Gorgon to simply smash them to pieces or take them as a trophy towards his abilities. 
* Telepathy: Gorgon possesses a secondary mutation which gives him telepathic powers. Gorgon is able to feel, and read the emotions, memories, innermost desires, and thoughts of the people around him. Due to the danger posed by his power to turn men into stone with a gaze, Gorgon was forced to hone his telepathy to act as an almost sixth sense. By telepathically sensing his surroundings, Gorgon can perceive the world around him in lieu of his eyesight, additionally allowing him to fight in complete darkness. Gorgon uses these powers in combat to predict his opponents moves, ascertain their strategies, or torment them with their own thoughts.
