6. Gaza

6. Gaza Gaza is the large, physically powerful member of the original Savage Land Mutates who is blind and uses an additional sense to perceive his surroundings. His presentation makes clear that blindness does not prevent him from being an active combatant. In X-Men #63, he attacks Ka-Zar as the heroes move toward the Creator. The encounter establishes his immediate purpose in the group: he can meet someone physically and interrupt their advance. His size is the most obvious part of his design, but the perception ability is just as important. Treating him as only another strong opponent would leave out the feature that distinguishes him within a roster already containing Barbarus.
