Headlok is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in West Coast Avengers #10 in July 1986.
Headlok first appeared in West Coast Avengers #10 (July 1986), and was created by Steve Englehart and Al Milgrom.
The character subsequently appears in Alpha Flight #93-96 (February–May 1991), #102-104 (November 1991-January 1992) and Thunderbolts #55-58 (October 2001-January 2002).
Headlok received an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89 #3.
This mysterious menace found the Griffin roaming the Adirondack Mountains, and used his mental powers to enslave the Griffin. Headlok tricked the West Coast Avengers by claiming to have spotted Ben Grimm whom the team was looking for. Headlok ambushed them with the Griffin and attempted to take over their minds one by one. The Avenger Tigra was able to calm the Griffin's rage. It turns out the Thing had indeed been nearby and he joined the battle. Headlok, not knowing this, had not been using his powers to hide himself from sight or mentally influence Ben Grimm and thus was taken by surprise and Headlok was swiftly defeated.
Alpha Flight and the Fantastic Four later contended against Headlok. Headlok mentally manipulated Aurora, causing her to revert to her original split personality, and she then apparently killed Headlok. However, he later reappeared as a prisoner, and participated in a prison break.
Headlok has since been seen working for S.H.I.E.L.D. alongside Bennet Du Paris. They were brought in to deal with a rogue mutant as part of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Psi-division. The psychic confrontation appears to have left Headlok dead. This death is eventually undone when Cyclops' former student, Tempus, goes back in time to erase a rouge mutant's existence.
