The grotesque, spineless ruler of the Mojoverse, a dimension where reality is literally television. Mojo kidnaps the X-Men to use as stars in his interdimensional ratings wars, turning superhero combat into entertainment spectacle. He is Claremont's most pointed satire of media excess — a villain who fights with Nielsen ratings instead of fists.
