Magneto's original lackey — a sniveling, self-loathing mutant with superhuman leaping ability, a prehensile tongue, and the ability to secrete a paralytic resin. Toad has evolved from comic relief to genuinely dangerous over the decades, but he remains defined by his desperate need for approval and his willingness to serve anyone who offers it.
