Shadow King

Shadow King is a powerful psychic mutant. It is the name used by the spirit formerly known as Amahl Farouk.

Biography
Amahl Farouk used a young Ororo Munroe to steal for him. She eventually caught the attention of Charles Xavier who fought Amahl and sent his soul to the astral plane. Ororo became the X-Man Storm.

Amahl, as the Shadow King, spent the years traveling across Africa to find her. He eventually did and possessed her. He convinced her that Africa was burning and she needed to put it out. She created a giant storm but the X-Men came to stop her. Thanks to Emma Frost they were able to free her and destroy Shadow King since he did not have a body to live off.

Powers
Telepathy: He is a telepath of a very high order. (He was said to be second only to Professor X, but this has probably changed because other telepaths have since surfaced). Immortal: As an astral form he can only be harmed by attacks able to damage such a form, such as psychically or using certain magical weapons. He has demonstrated the ability to live beyond the death of his physical body.
 * Astral Projection Possession: Shadow King is able to possess other beings while on the astral plane.
 * Astral Plane Alteration: He can control the astral plane (which only the most powerful telepaths can do).

Role in Ultima
In Ultima, the Shadow King is a member of the Organization, and a rival to Apocalypse for a chair in the Inner Circle. The Shadow King is devious, cunning, and scheming, and plans to overthrow Maleficent as leader of the Organization by using his mutant powers to do so. However, Maleficent drained him of 1/3rd of his powers so he wouldn't betray her.
