Fictional character biography
editLackey
editMortimer Toynbee hails fromYork, England,where he entered the world only to be promptly abandoned by his parents. His early years were marked by adversity as he found himself in the care of an orphanage, enduring relentless torment from other children due to his unconventional appearance, which bore the hallmarks of his mutant genetics. Despite his innate intelligence, Mortimer faced unjust assumptions about his mental capabilities, stemming from his extreme shyness and minor learning difficulties during his formative schooling years. These challenges led him to depart from formal education at a remarkably young age, opting to navigate the world on his own terms. However, the scars of his past experiences left him grappling with profound feelings of inferiority, a testament to the enduring impact of his tumultuous upbringing. Later, he was recruited intoMagneto's originalBrotherhood of Evil Mutants,becoming Magneto'ssycophantic"toady."Toad believed that Magneto loved him, while Magneto considered thishenchmanlittle more than a human shield and a useful lackey. Toad also developed a crush on his teammateScarlet Witch,but she did not return his feelings as she was repulsed by his appearance, mannerisms, obsequiousness, and lack of hygiene.[2]
As a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Toad aided Magneto in repeated clashes with theX-Men.[2]Magneto tried to use him to infiltrate the X-Men, but they recognized his power and unmasked him.[3]At one point, Magneto and Toad were captured by the alienStrangeras part of his collection, encased in cocoons, and taken on a journey through space.[4]Magneto managed to escape by repairing a spaceship but left Toad behind.[5]When Magneto was re-captured by the Stranger, with whom Professor Xavier had telepathically communicated, he took Toad with him during his second escape, but by then Toad's attitude towards his master had already begun to change.[6]Toad aided Magneto against the X-Men once more,[7]but realized that Magneto did not care at all for him, and as a result, Toad rebelled against Magneto and fled his lair with Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.[8]
However, he was soon captured bySentinelsand then freed by the X-Men.[9]He was later captured with Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.[10]
Solo career
editSometime later, Toad began to study the Stranger's technology, becoming familiar with it. He used the Stranger's alien technology to menace theAvengers.[11]He even attempted to kill theAngelin a castle outfitted with traps byArcade.However, he instead turned the castle into an amusement park and became its caretaker.[12]Toad was eventually ejected from the castle byDoctor Doom,and he became suicidal, realizing that he was too dependent on others to work alone. He met and was befriended bySpider-Man,and teamed withSpider-KidandFrog-Manas the superhero adventurer team, the Misfits.[13]However, Toad suffered from depression.[14]
Eventually, Toad left the Misfits and returned to villainy. He sought repeatedly to abduct the Scarlet Witch but was thwarted by Quicksilver, theVisionand the Scarlet Witch.[15]Much later, he played a "game" withGideonand sought to enlistProteusin a new Brotherhood.[16]He then formed his subversive version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, along withBlob,PyroandPhantazia.He transformed Karl Lykos back intoSauronand, with the Brotherhood, battledX-Force.[17]Toad's Brotherhood also battledX-Factor[18]and then foughtDarkhawk,SleepwalkerandPortal.[19]
X-Men: Forever
editYears later, still struggling with depression, Toad was captured byProsh,along withJuggernaut,Iceman,Jean GreyandMystiqueas part of a time-hopping plan to stop a global threat. Toad learned that his deformed body was the result of experimentation by Juggernaut's father, Kurt Marko, atAlamogordo, New Mexico,which left Toad with an unstable genetic structure. The Stranger's equipment corrected his genetic flaws, resulting in an almost complete metamorphosis: Toad had a taller and slimmer appearance and had his powers augmented. Among the most notable changes was a prehensile tongue. Though his change improved his self-esteem, Toad continued to live life without direction. He joined several more incarnations of the Brotherhood of Mutants, none of which lasted for long.[20]
Bloodsport tournament
editNot long after, Toad entered the Madripoor Bloodsport Tournament. In his first fight in the tournament, Toad wrapped his extremely long tongue around the villain known asEel,crushing his opponent's bones and seemingly killing him instantly. In the next fight, however, Toad battled Wolverine. His new abilities caught the X-Man off guard, and he managed to deal some damage. However, his overconfidence led to his defeat. Wolverine spared his life, not wanting to partake in the act of cold-blooded murder.[21]
New X-Men
editToad made a brief reappearance onGenoshasometime after the island's annihilation, leading a team includingParalyzerandUnusto try to rebuild the statue of Magneto as a monument to him.[22]
For reasons unknown, Toad eventually returned to Magneto's side during thePlanet Xstoryline; however, Toad was not as docile and subservient as he had been in the past, even openly questioning Magneto at times. Magneto, in turn, is tyrannical in his treatment of Toad, who had become his second-in-command. At that point, the long-presumed-dead Magneto's image had taken aChe Guevara-like notoriety, and Toad questioned whether Magneto may have been more powerful dead than alive. Nonetheless, Toad tries to defend his former master, only to be incapacitated byFantomex,who shoots his kneecaps out. Shortly thereafter, Magneto is killed by Wolverine, and Toad vanishes from the scene.[23]
It is later revealed that this was not the real Magneto, but a copycat namedXorn.It is unknown whether Toad was aware of this. It is revealed that the real Magneto is still alive. So far, Toad has made no known attempts to rejoin him. Unus' gang has come into conflict with Xavier and his allies, who have gained a foothold on Genoshan soil.
Civil War
editToad was among the group of mutants who broke out of the 198 camps, with help fromCaliban,Domino,andShatterstar.The group hid in what they believed was an abandoned nuclear bunker in the Nevada desert. While the X-Men and O*N*E battled outside the bunker,Johnny Deewas instructed by General Lazer to cause chaos amongst the 198. The group of mutants discovered this asOutlaw,being controlled by Johnny, pointed her gun at Domino. Domino's powers caused a misfire, giving Toad a chance to bring Outlaw down.
It was then revealed that the bunker was a blast-containment chamber for experimental weapons. As the auto-destruct sequence was initiated, Toad was trapped inside the chamber with the rest of the 198. The X-Men, teaming up withBishop,Iron ManandMs. Marvel,quickly found a way to rescue the trapped mutants and the 198 walked away unharmed.
Dark Reign
editToad is later seen rioting in San Francisco, angry about the fact that mutants have been forbidden to mate with each other to prevent new mutant births. Toad is faced by Cyclops and defeated.[24]He is later seen being carried byTranceandDragoness,who are being pursued by H.A.M.M.E.R. agents.[25]After the battle is over, Toad is seen together with Dragoness andAvalancheliving on the X-Men's newUtopiaHomebase.[26]
Second Coming
editAfter Cyclops deputizes the population of Utopia to help fight an invasion ofNimrod Sentinelsfrom an unknown future, Toad instructs a group of mutants, includingSack,to remain behind on the island, where they would be safe. In the middle of arguing with Sack, a Nimrod Sentinel fires on them, decapitating Sack and blowing off Toad's right index finger.[27]
Regenesis
editAfter the fight between Cyclops and Wolverine, the X-Men were divided between Utopia and Westchester. Toad decided to go to Westchester with Wolverine who accepts him as the school's janitor.[28]
In the miniseries "Magneto: Not a Hero",Josephis resurrected under unknown circumstances and forms a new Brotherhood of Mutants withAstraand mutated deformed versions ofBlob,Mastermind,Quicksilver,Scarlet Witch,and Toad. It is soon revealed that the mutated versions of Blob, Mastermind, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Toad are clones created by Joseph.[29]
During the "Secret Empire"storyline, Toad became a member of New Tian's strike force following Hydra taking over the United States. He gained a secondary mutation where he can light his tongue on fire.[30]
During the "Hunted"storyline, Toad was among the animal-themed superhumans captured byTaskmasterandBlack AntforKraven the Hunter's Great Hunt sponsored byArcade's company Arcade Industries.[31]After most of the animal-themed superheroes regrouped, Toad mentioned thatMan-Bullwas killed amidst the chaos caused by the Hunter-Bots.[32]Toad later assisted the animal-themed characters in fighting the Hunter-Bots.[33]WhenYellowjacketfinds Black Ant hiding in the bush, Toad joins Yellowjacket,Human Fly,Razorback,andWhite Rabbitin preparing to take revenge on him only for Taskmaster to appear and make off with Black Ant.[34]
In the first issue of "House of X",whenProfessor Xand Magneto founded a mutant-exclusive island nation onKrakoa.Toad was sent on a special mission withMystiqueandSabretoothto steal information about the Orchis Forge fromDamage Control.Due to his hacking skills, they were successful and escaped, leaving Sabretooth behind to fight theFantastic Four.[volume & issue needed]
During "X-Men: The Trial of Magneto" the Scarlet Witch coaxed Magneto to strangle her to death with Uru as a part of her plan to resurrect fallen mutants whose minds were not backed up byCerebro.The resurrected Scarlet Witch implicated Toad for her death as the Uru used for the murder was later found in his home. Pleading guilty to the murder charge, possibly as a favor to Magneto, he stated that he had killed her for turning her back on the Brotherhood and Magneto. Earning him banishment to the Pit of Exile, he claimed that he did it all for Magneto. Although the Scarlet Witch tried to advocate on the Toad's behalf, her words could not save him from his fate.[35]
He was eventually freed byCypheralong with all the other Pit inmates on the condition that they leave Krakoa and hunt down the recently escaped Sabretooth so he can be punished for his crimes.[36]
Throughout "Sabretooth and the Exiles", Toad joins the other exiled mutants on a journey to find Sabretooth that leads to him joining them as they infiltrate a series ofOrchis' Mutant prisons and experimentation centers. When they end up in Station Three, which was built inside the Astral Plane, Victor and Toad get into a fight about their mission to the Orchis Forge which led to him being put in the pit. When Toad tells him it was his fault, Victor attacks him, and they fight using the special powers they have in the Astral Plane.Oyacuts them off because she discovered, someone trapped inside some kind of organic prison. Sabretooth and Toad fled, assuming the person to be hostile, but later Oya approached everyone and showed them that the prisoner was a second Victor Creed.[37]The team escapes with the freed Orchis prisoners on their boat which Maddison uses debris from the destroyed base to turn into a vessel big enough to contain them all. Sabretooth decides to enact one last plan for revenge against the Quiet Council by turning all the young mutant prisoners against Krakoa, he is interrupted when the team arrives at the final, underwater Orchis base and is hit by a tidal wave. During the commotion Sabretooth is again abducted by Orchis, telling his team to come looking for him before disappearing. The rest of the team, alongside Dr. Barrington and her creation, are trapped in the base with the kids who instinctively attack them out of fear that they are there to perform more experiments. After Nanny shuts down the brains of everyone except herself and Orphan-Maker, the team all wake up on the ship except Nanny and Orphan-Maker, Dr. Barrington and her creation, and Sabretooth who all left to pursue their own goals.Nanny and Orphan-Makertake all the mutant babies with them.[38]
Relationship with Husk
editThis articledescribes a work or element of fiction in a primarilyin-universestyle.(May 2015) |
During the events of "Avengers vs. X-Men,"Toad andHuskhave developed a sentimental relationship.[39]The relationship led to him quitting the Grey Academy to join her at the Hellfire Academy where she had become a teacher, but he soon finds he is relegated once again to being a janitor and sees Husk being twisted and corrupted by the Academy, quickly regretting that he joined.[40]
In the Hellfire Academy, he found himself disillusioned with their attempts to teach the children how to be villains, feeling they should try educating them and telling them how unfortunate the life of a villain could be, which ended up with Husk shoving him out of the room and claiming he had embarrassed her. When he witnessedQuentin Quire- whom he had brought to the Hellfire Academy along with him - being tortured bySauron,he finally took action and turned on the Hellfire Academy choosing to help Quentin escape. As they are escaping, they are attacked by Husk and the All-New Hellions. Husk's increasingly slipping sanity causes her to attempt to kill Toad during the fight. Despite his reluctance to hurt her, Toad begins to rip off layers of her flesh until she is left in her human form, confused about where she is and why she is not still in the Grey Academy, having lost most of her memory. The Hellfire Academy is defeated, Kade Kilgore is trapped inside the Siege Perilous, and Wilhemina Kensington manages to escape, but Manuel Enduque andMaximilian Frankensteinare forced to enroll in the Jean Grey Academy. Toad is seen sitting beside Husk's hospital bed.[41]
Later, it transpires Husk's unhinged personality was caused by a secondary mutation that caused her powers to affect her mind along with her body. Due to his earlier betrayal, Toad is fired by Wolverine as the janitor of the Grey Academy. As he leaves the school, Husk arrives to apologize to him. Toad accepts her apology and tells her he always knew things between them were too good to last. Before he can go, Husk asks him to visit her in a nearby coffee shop so she can try to get to know him and remember what she liked about him before she lost her memory. But Frankenstein creates self-replicating energy robots to attack the city and distract the staff so he and Enduque can escape the Grey Academy. Toad tracks them down and tells them how he was given a second chance and intends to take it. Frankenstein tells him to show him to prove his commitment, Toad does this by attacking and hospitalizing Enduque. Husk sits alone in the destroyed coffee shop and Toad never shows up, later she gives Enduque counseling and finds Toad left her a message saying he had to leave or else someday she would wake up and see him for what he was. Toad is seen crying silently as he now works for Maximilian Frankenstein and recommends that they go someplace nobody can hurt them.[42]
Powers and abilities
editThe Toad's intellect and physical abilities have gone through some changes over the years. In the character's inception, he possessed superhuman leg strength, endurance, agility, reflexes, coordination, and balance, as well as a superhuman ability to leap great distances. However, over the years, the Toad's original powers have increased, and he has gained additional powers through further mutation, including adhesive saliva, the ability to stick to and climb walls, and an elongated prehensile tongue.[volume & issue needed].As a result of further mutation, he now has mottled green skin and pointed-tip ears.[volume & issue needed]
Toad's primarymutantability is a superhuman leaping ability that allows him to leap many times higher and farther than an ordinary human. He possesses some degree ofsuperhuman strengthand endurance, primarily concentrated in his lower torso and legs, which grants him superior leaping abilities. His vertebral column and skeletal structure are unusually flexible, enabling him to remain in a constant crouching position and contort his body into an unusual position without injury or strain. In his first appearances, Toad had very little knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, fighting mainly by kicking wildly and by leaping about and attempting to land on his opponents (as Toad once weighed over 250 lbs. this could be potentially harmful). Recently, he has demonstrated a better sense of combat and a leaner physique, using both his leaping ability and his elongated prehensile tongue to his advantage.
As a result of having his genetic structure restored (thus stabilizing and augmenting his mutation), Toad can extend hiselastictongueup to 25 feet in length to ensnare objects and people. His tongue is superhumanly strong and tough to the extent that he once killed a magistrate ofGenoshaby ensnaring him with his tongue and squeezing, causing the magistrate to be crushed to death almost immediately.[volume & issue needed]He can also secrete odorlesspheromonevenomandpsychoactivechemicals from his tongue and fingertips that allow him to influence, manipulate, and control the minds of others to a limited extent.[volume & issue needed]Thanks to special pads on his hands and feet, Toad can stick to and climb most surfaces with ease, even if they are vertical, inverted, or slick. He can also secrete a highly adhesive resin from his pores thatparalyzesthenervous systemof anybody who touches it. Toad has also demonstrated the ability to telepathically communicate with amphibian life (which he often uses as spies),[volume & issue needed]and to expel powerful gusts of wind from his lungs capable of knocking someone down.[43]
Toad's intellect has increased beyond his original levels, and he has considerable knowledge of advanced technology and access to vast technological and scientific knowledge, which he gained as a lackey toMagnetoand while he was held captive by theStranger,as well as his studies of machinery in the possession ofArcadeandArkon.He once possessed alien technology that he stole from the Stranger's world, and could utilize it to create synthezoid robots, among other uses. He has demonstrated the ability to apply this advanced technology but lacks the creativity to make progress beyond his existing knowledge. For example, while he could construct and utilize a powerful exoskeletal armor, he would be unable to improve on its base design.
Although Toad's amphibian-like traits extend to his physical appearance, this was revealed to be contingent upon his mutation when theHigh Evolutionarydepowered every mutant on Earth. This causes Toad to take on a human appearance, which is what he would have looked like had he not been born a mutant.[44]
Toad later gained a secondary mutation where he could light his tongue on fire.[30]
