Powers
Possession: The exact nature of Bogan and his mutant powers are unknown, but he has never been depicted with a physical body of his own, only as a floating pair of red eyes. He prefers to work by possessing telepaths, and once a telepath is under his possession, he can use that telepath to possess others. However, this raises the question of how he possessed the first telepath. There is some evidence that he may in fact be a psychic entity like the Shadow King; when Bogan's associate Oliver Ryland was temporarily resurrected as part of a Danger Room scenario, he taunted Sage that only his body had been killed, and that she could have joined him as part of Bogan, for whom flesh is nothing and the mind is all.

Whatever his nature, Bogan is extremely powerful and is able to possess some of the most powerful minds on the planet, including Emma Frost and Rachel Summers at the same time. Those under his possession will usually bleed from their eyes.
