Unknown

Ahmet Abdol, scorned as a child for his belief that he is a direct descendant of the ancient pharoahs grows up and makes a startling discovery. Through his research he determines that the ancient pharoahs were mutants! Branded as a heretic and chased through the streets of Cairo, Abdol's wife Filene is killed in a fiery car crash. This accident coupled with Abdol's anger at the loss of his wife causes his mutant powers to manifest themselves. Abdol learns that he IS a direct descendant of the Pharoahs and that a religious sect has been waiting for years for a sign that the pharoahs have returned. Abdol's powers are the sign they were waiting for and he leaves with his new followers to begin a quest for world domination.
