Gorgon, whose real name is Tomi Shishido, is a prominent character in Marvel Comics, primarily associated with the X-Men. He is a mutant with incredible physical abilities and a genius-level intellect. Gorgon possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, and reflexes, exceeding those of a normal human being.

Born in Japan, Tomi Shishido was discovered to be a mutant at a young age. He gained notoriety as a formidable warrior and tactician. Gorgon has a unique power allowing him to turn people to stone with a glance, similar to the mythological Gorgon Medusa, hence his moniker. However, this power is not always active and requires concentration.

Gorgon has been portrayed as both an adversary and, on occasion, an ally to the X-Men. His allegiance is often driven by his own goals and philosophies. He has been a member of various groups, including the Hand and HYDRA, demonstrating a willingness to align himself with powerful organizations to achieve his aims. His complex and often conflicting motivations make him a dangerous and unpredictable figure in the Marvel Universe.
