The Toad


Name: The Toad (a.k.a. The Terrible Toad King)
Real Name: Mortimer Toynbee
Age: Unrevealed. Presumably in 30's.
Place of Origin: York, England
First Appearance: Uncanny X-Men #4
Powers: Possesses the mutant powers of super-leaping, secretion of a parlyzing substance from his hands, and the possible ability to control, uh, frogs and stuff.
Background: Since his childhood, Mortmer was an outcast, using his leaping powers and knowledge of advanced technology to his advantage, trying to make himself a worthy henchman to Magneto, as well as a formiddable criminal in his own right. After winning the presence of his master, Magneto, the Toad was most likely disappointed at his new "fortune" of being alongside the Master of Magnetism, as he constantly got his ass wooped by the X-Men, the Avengers, Spider-Man, and just about anyone else he came within ten feet from. Not counting the booting he got from X-Force, the second incarnation of X-Factor, Darkhawk, Vision, and of course, Magneto. All the while he was in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

Mr. Toynbee, here, actually tried to be a good guy once, forming the Misfits, a band of, well, freaks that consisted of Frog Man, Spider Kid, and himself. Can't say he didn't try. But the one person he has been a fairly nice guy to would be the Scarlet Witch, his former teammate in the original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. She, of course, didn't care, while he, being the weenie that he is, continued to swoon at the daughter of Magneto.

Since those days, the Toad has formed his own version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, led by him, of course. That actually lasted a while, but their terrorist acts had no merit, really. The only thing he ever got away with which could be considered a win, was permanently turning Karl Lykos, also known as Sauron, into his prehistoric, energy consuming alter-ego. He did this with the help of some technology the Stranger acquired him with, which forced Karl's girlfriends' life force into him, killing her and making Lykos Sauron forever. That was mean.

Nowadays, frog boy is hanging out at a former residence of the White Queen in Canada where he attempts to lead an army of, well, toads and frogs. He lives here with a friend of his (yes, he has one), the Surgeon, who has the ability to alter another mutants powers. So when Ms. Frost brought the kids to her old house where the Toad was lurking, he thought Mort thought he could actually have a chance at winning a battle, noticing that things were a little wacky with Emma and her new team due to Onslaught. Didn't work. As a matter of fact, he had absolutly no chance at all. What a loser.
