Lucio was an Inhuman who worked with the National Police of Colombia and experienced Terrigenesis during the Inhuman Outbreak, gifiting the ability to paralysis individuals via visual contact. Due to his powers, he was abducted by HYDRA under Gideon Malick's orders, as the first step into rebuilding an Inhuman army for Hive. Soon, he became enthralled by Hive and actively worked to serve HYDRA before meeting his end at the hands of Joey Gutierrez.
Lucio joined the ranks of the National Police of Colombia in BogotĂĄ. During the Inhuman Outbreak, Lucio went through Terrigenesis after ingesting a fish product tainted by the Terrigen Mist, and gained the ability to trap people in a rigormortis-like state by staring at them. However, Lucio was forced to wear sunglasses at all times, as he was unable to control his power. Lucio continued working for the National Police of Colombia, becoming Colonel Victor Ramon's right-hand man and using his powers against their enemies, which often included unarmed civilians.[1]
Lucio and Victor Ramon brought the half-paralyzed Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter back to the police station for questioning. In order to ensure that she would talk, Ramon had Lucio paralyze only Hunter while he demanded to know from Morse who they worked for. Morse stated that they were working to find any Inhumans for S.H.I.E.L.D. where Morse called Lucio "Medusa-Eyes." Upon learning of their capture, Daisy Johnson and Elena Rodriguez raided the National Police of Colombia's police station.
With help from Johnson, Rodriguez and the Secret Warriors were able to defeat most of the guards and make their way to freeing Morse and Hunter. Eventually, they came across Lucio and the overconfident Rodriguez used her speed and was able to place a negating wrist device on him; however, Lucio had already removed his sunglasses and temporarily paralyzed Rodriguez in the process, causing her to fling against a wall. In response, Joey Gutierrez melted Lucio's sunglasses onto his face, ensuring that he could not use his powers against the team anymore.
Lucio was quickly brought to a secret HYDRA base in Europe. When confronted by Hive, Lucio attempted to paralyze him; however, Hive broke through Lucio's power and used his own to sway him. While Gideon Malick was away at a summit in Taipei, Taiwan, Hive told Giyera and Lucio to bring five humans to him. The pair located and seized the healthiest humans in the area, immobilizing them with Lucio's abilities. After delivering the humans to Hive, both Inhumans waited outside as their leader unleashed a wave of parasites, healing his host body while reducing the five humans to skeletons.[3]
Lucio was sent to the Zephyr One to command a squad of soldiers and capture the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. agents inside the plane. As the Secret Warriors boarded the plane, Lucio ambushed them and managed to paralyze Lincoln Campbell, but he died soon after at the hands of Joey Gutierrez by being stabbed in the chest. Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons later examined Lucio's corpse and found out that he had been infected by Hive.[4]
Inhuman Physiology: Lucio was an Inhuman who achieved his genetic potential after undergoing Terrigenesis, gaining superhuman powers.
Paralysis Inducement:
Lucio using his power
Lucio was able to put people into a temporary rigor mortis-like state by staring into a person's eyes. He was unable to control his powers, and he had to wear thick sunglasses to prevent himself from paralyzing everyone around him. However, after being brainwashed and enthralled by Hive, Lucio started gaining more control over his powers as was evident when he started walking around without his sunglasses closed.
Equipment[]
Flip-Up Sunglasses: Since Lucio was unable to control his powers, he constantly wore thick flip-up sunglasses. These seemed to be permanently attached after Joey Gutierrez melted them onto his face.
