From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Worm is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He was a Savage Land dweller, recruited by the mutant Zaladane to join the Savage Land Mutates. He has the ability to secrete a liquid from his hands that, when it comes into contact with the flesh of a victim, adheres to the brain tissue and allows Worm to assume control of the victim. Zaladane employed Worm to amass a large army of prisoners turned into slaves. This army attacked the X-Men, which allowed Worm to assume control over Colossus, Dazzler, Polaris, and their ally Ka-Zar. The heroes were eventually able to break Worm's control, and defeated Zaladane and the Savage Land Mutates.
