Eric the Red

Loyal servant to D’Ken, Eric The Red was asked to gain access the space shuttle as part of D’Ken’s grand plan to acquire the Em Cron Crystal. When he learned that Lilandra was on Earth, he hired Juggernaut and Black Tom to capture her. He was promptly bollocked by Gladiator after his miserable failure before The Phoenix sent him back to the Sh’iar galaxy. Davan Shakari had the same superhuman advantages of any member of theShi'ar. These powers would include enhanced strength, enhanced agility, and hollow bones.

To increase the powers listed above he wore a costume that augmented his strength to higher superhuman levels. This also enabled him to control minds to a limited degree. The suit also enabled him fire concussive force blasts from his hands. He had many other advantages and was comprised of alien technology several centuries more advanced than that found on Earth.

Although Davan first appeared in X-men 97, The costume and name where used as early as in Uncanny X-Men #51 and 52. Cyclopsused this disguise to enter Mesmero'sHeadquarters and attack the evil mutants led by Magneto. How Cyclops got the costume and if it has any relation to Davan has never been explained.

Magnetoalso used the costume when he put Gambiton trial for his part in creating the Marauders for Sinister.
