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.

Powers and abilities

Worm possesses the superhuman ability to control the minds of other sentient beings using an unknown liquid secreted through the suction cup-like pores in his hands.
