Gaza is a mutate, a human that was changed by Magneto, that lived in the Savage Land, a tropical preserve hidden in Antarctica. The unusually tall Gaza was one of Magneto's first Savage Land Mutates, and has been involved in all the Mutates' subsequent activities.
Gaza is blind, but possesses psionic abilities that enable him to “see” mentally.
