History
Mortimer Toynbee was born in York, England, and was quickly abandoned by his parents and spent many years in an orphanage, where he was constantly tormented by other children due to his ugliness and strangely shaped body (as his mutant appearance was present from birth). He was considered to be mentally inferior due to his extreme shyness and mild learning disabilities during his (elementary) school years, though he was actually quite intelligent. He dropped out at an extremely early age and decided to fend for himself. Based on years of abuse and knowing full well he was a freak, Mortimer developed a severe inferiority complex, becoming a servant to anyone that showed him the slightest bit of affection.
Later, he was recruited into Magneto's original Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, becoming Magneto's sycophantic toady. The Toad believed that Magneto loved him, while the mutant mastermind considered his henchman little more than a human shield. He was also obsessed with his then-teammate, the Scarlet Witch, leading to a continuing enemity with her and her brother, Quicksilver, though the crush was dropped years later after he saw her pregnant belly and became disgusted.
He remained with the Brotherhood through several of its later incarnations, eventually becoming its leader at a point later in his career when his self-esteem had risen. Later, his powers were enhanced considerably by the alien Stranger's equipment.
When a mentally unstable Scarlet Witch warped reality into the mutant-dominant House of M, Toad appeared as a member of Wolverine's Red Guard, and wrote a best-selling book about his time in Magneto's service. When his real memories were restored, he agreed to help the heroes in changing the reality back to normal.
During the battle with the House of M, the Scarlet Witch changed back reality, genetically altering over ninety percent of the world's mutant population and only leaving a few hundred with their powers as a result. He has since been confirmed as one of the few mutants to retain his powers, and Joe Quesada has commented, "You won't be able to put the Toad back in the box." Toad is one of the main characters in the X-Men: The 198 miniseries, as part of a group of mutants who settle on the grounds of the Xavier Institue of Higher Learning.
