CHARACTER INFORMATION:

Character Name/Aliases (if any):Mortimer Toynbee
Age: 34
Codename:Toad
Affiliation: The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants

Personality:

Toad has a major inferiority complex thanks to his upbringing. He is submissive and doesn’t mind being in the servitude of more powerful beings, especially when they show him the slightest bit of affection. He has grown to be quite sarcastic, but zips his British lips when Magneto is around.

He believes that Magneto will lead the Brotherhood and mutants everywhere to victory and that, once they are on top, his boss will have a special place for him in reward for his continued loyalty. He dislikes failing anything his leader assigns for him, and will do whatever it takes to ensure he stays in Magneto’s good graces, even placing blame on his fellow team members or ratting them out when something goes awry. He is the ultimate suck up.

History:
Mortimer was born in England, the town of York, but, like many infants who came into the world looking abnormal in any way, out of shame his parents abandoned him at an orphanage. While there, he was continuously picked on and made fun of due to his large dark eyes, webbed hands and feet, long legs, and the tendency to eat bugs and small animals using his prehensile tongue. He is nearsighted, and sensitive to bright lights, and so wears goggles or sunglasses as often as possible. His hygiene is bad as well, due to his skin secreting unusual chemicals and the fact that he doesn’t bathe.

With constant badgering by the other children at the orphanage, Mortimer grew quite shy. His teachers thought he was mentally inferior because of his stunted growth in his studies, when he is actually quite intelligent. Because of the mistreatment he received from the humans, he developed a hatred for them, and dropped out of school and ran away from the orphanage at a young age where he had to fend for himself.

Soon after growing up and toughening his skin through years of hard knocks, Mortimer was discovered by Magneto, who gave him his alias Toad based on his mutant abilities. From then on, Toad swore fealty to Magneto and followed him unquestionably. He is completely under the impression that Magneto cares for him, loves him even, and doesn’t just see him as a pawn or a human shield. Subconsciously, Toad refers to Magneto as his older, much wiser brother because he brought him from feeling like the freak, to looking at the humans as freaks.

Magneto, in the big glassy eyes of the Toad, is out to rule the human race that has been so cruel to him. Mortimer trusts that, once the humans are conquered, he will have a place of honor in the new world that is run by mutants and led by Magneto.

Powers & Special Abilities:
from Marvel Wikia

Powers

Superhuman Leaping: The Toad's primary mutant power is the ability to leap to heights and distances far greater than that of an ordinary human. He possesses a degree of superhuman strength, particularly in his back and legs, which grants him his superior leaping abilities. He has a vertical leap of 25 feet and a horizontal jump of approximately 37 feet in a single leap. Although the Toad usually stands in a crouching position, he can stand erect if he wishes. His unusually flexible spine enables him to crouch continually without strain. The Toad has no knowledge of hand-to-hand combat. However, his powers enable him to execute a leaping kick with superhuman force at an opponent.
Flexible Bone Structure: The Toad's bone structure enables him great flexibility. He can remain in a crouching position for long periods of time and perform contortionist type feats without causing any damage to his spine.
Superhuman Stamina: The Toad's muscles produce a significantly lower amount of fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of an ordinary human. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair him.
Superhuman Agility: The Toad's overall equilibrium application is enhanced to some degree and his bodily coordination and balance are enhanced to levels that are beyond the human body's natural limits.
Superhuman Reflexes: The Toad's reflexes are enhanced to levels that are beyond the human body's natural limits.
Superhuman Durability: The Toad's body is tougher and more resistant to physical injury than an ordinary human's. He can withstand major impacts and physical trauma that would severely injure or kill an ordinary human with moderate discomfort. However, he is not invulnerable and can be injured in ways similar to an ordinary human. For instance, he is not bulletproof, save for a small caliber bullet, and can be injured by weapons composed of conventional materials if he is struck with sufficient force.
Regenerative Healing Factor: The Toad has a limited healing factor that allows him to recover from injuries and ailments at an accelerated rate. He can recover from minor ailments, such as a cold, within a few hours. Larger, more damaging injuries, such as broken bones, heal within a matter of days. The Toad's healing rate seems to be quite powerful, as seen when Wolverine once cut off his tongue down to the base, only to have completely regenerated it in a matter of hours.
UV/Infrared Vision: The Toad's enhanced vision allows him to see into the ultraviolet and infrared spectrum, granting him a degree of heightened night vision. However, his eyes are also sensitive to certain types of lighting, forcing him to wear light-filtering goggles that allow him to operate in strong daylight that would otherwise blind him.
Prehensile Tongue: The Toad has the ability to extend his tongue up to 30 feet in distance to ensnare objects and people. His tongue is superhumanly strong to the extent that he once killed a man by ensnaring him with his tongue and squeezing him, causing the man to be crushed to death.
Pheromone Secretion: The Toad's tongue secretes odorless, pheremonous venom that seeps through the skin directly into the bloodstream. This venom allows him to control minds of any exposed to it to a limited extent.
Acidic Saliva: The Toad's saliva is highly acidic and can adheres to most surfaces and quickly dissolve most materials with ease.
Paralytic Resin: The Toad's pores secrete an adhesive resin that allows him to stick to any surface and paralyzes the nervous systems of any living organism that comes into contact with it.
Superhuman Respiratory System: The Toad's lungs can expand and compress large quantities of air that can be expelled with enough force to knock a fully grown human off their feet.
Amphibian Control: The Toad the ability to psionically communicate with and control amphibian life, such as frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders, who he often uses as spies.

Abilities

Experienced Combatant: The Toad has no formal knowledge of hand-to-hand combat. However, his powers enable him to execute a leaping kick with superhuman force at an opponent and his career as a servant of Magneto and foe of the X-men has given him plenty of combat experience. The Toad's superhuman agility combined with his powerful legs (and, less so, his arms) makes him a highly formidable opponent in kick-boxing, despite a lack of any formal training.
Expert Machinist: The Toad has a great knowledge of most forms of conventional and advanced technology, thanks to his studies of machinery in the possession of Magneto

Superhuman Strength: The Toad is superhumanly strong, primarily in his lower body, and is capable of leg pressing 3 tons. He possesses superhuman strength in his upper body as well, although to a much lower degree, and can lift about 1 ton. Toad's elongated tongue is also able to lift heavy weights, though the exact limit is unknown.
Weaknesses
The Toad is near-sighted and has an aversion to light. He often wears light filtering goggles that allow him to operate in strong daylight that would otherwise blind him. More generally, Toad's lack of self-confidence keeps him from realizing his full potential.
Notes:Mortimer's identity is known to law enforcement agencies.
As a result of not bathing and the fact that his skin secretes unusual chemicals, the Toad usually has an offensive odor. The Toad also has a neurological chemical imbalance, which explains his drastic changes in personality.
