Biography

Khan rules a vast empire, consisting of alternate versions of the planet Earth throughout the myriad dimensions of the multiverse. Using his alien technology, he and his armies can travel from world to world, and for those that surrender to him, they prosper from the technology he brings, although they live under his iron rule. Those that fight him, have all ended up defeated and subjugated.

During the first assault of Khan on the X-Men's Earth, centered in Madripoor, Storm's splinter group, known as the X-Treme X-Men, were able to capture him. One of Khan's lieutenants, Shaitan, was able to rescue Khan, and in the escape, Khan took with him Storm, who had been injured by Viper. During his captivity, he had become infatuated with her.

Khan continued the invasion, while announcing his intentions to make Storm his queen. Storm refused Khan's advances and managed to escape, although she had to do so while still feeling weak and even had to face Khan's harem in battle. When the portal through which the invasion forces had come started to lose itself, Khan ordered the palace connected above the tower to separate and maintain the portal. The splinter group of X-Men fired at the palace, and it crashed. It is unknown if Khan had survived the explosion that came after and he has not been seen since his original story arc

Overview

Personality and attributes

It was said that he had never lost a battle and though this could be seen as a boast it was shown that these claims were genuine. (X-Treme X-Men v1 #12)

Khan often led troops into battle and brought them to victory though many of these events had him return carrying the bodies of his fallen men. Despite being a ruler, he did this to show that his men meant something to him. He carried their bodies to show that he honored their service to him and even extended this to his foes. It was said that many of his men knew him to be mortal but some had come to revere him as a god. (X-Treme X-Men v1 #12)

He became infatuated with Storm and wanted to make her his queen. (X-Treme X-Men v1 #11)

Powers and abilities

It was held as being the finest military fighting force ever created and had been culled from the finest warriors of every world and dimension that Khan had conquered. (X-Treme X-Men v1 #12)

These included specialised assault units that were the equivalent of rangers and paratroops that were often deployed to secure beachheads to allow the main force to follow. They were lightly armed shock troops but possessed weaponry and equipment that exceeded anything on Earth. Their tactics and performance highlighted their considerable experience as well as expertise. (X-Treme X-Men v1 #11)

The towers were one hundred miles in diameter and reached better than twenty-two thousand miles into space. These were critical points where they were staging grounds for an invasion (X-Treme X-Men v1 #12)
