Toad (Mortimer Toynbee) is a fictional supervillain appearing in
American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer
Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, he first appeared in The
X-Men #4 (March 1964).He is most often depicted as an enemy of the
X-Men, and was originally a weak, hunchbacked mutant, with a
superhuman leaping ability. He was Magneto's sniveling servant in the
1960s line-up of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. He eventually led
his own version of the Brotherhood, which was more involved in petty
crime than mutant liberation.Since his inception, the character has
appeared in numerous media adaptations, such as television series,
films and video games. For example, Ray Park played a significantly
different version of Toad in 2000's X-Men film, and after that,
aspects of this Toad have since been implemented into the comic book
version. Subsequently, most versions of Toad written or drawn after
2000 resemble the Ray Park version more closely than the original
Toad. A younger Toad appeared in the film X-Men: Days of Future Past,
played by Evan Jonigkeit.
