Toad (Mortimer Toynbee) is a Marvel Comics supervillain, an enemy of the X-Men. Toad 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.
Ray Park played a significantly different version of Toad in 2000's X-Men film. He was cocky and sarcastic and his superhuman leaping ability,agility, toxic saliva, prehensile tongue and wall-scaling abilities made him a match for several X-Men. 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.
Evan Jonigkeit revealed to MTV.com that he's playing a younger Toad in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. In an interview with MTV, Jonigkeit said, "I read a lot of the comic books. I found out the storyline of my character, who is Toad," he said. "X-Men fans will know that Ray Park played him in the first movie, so it's a generation story of how he came to be. It's really cool."
Here are 2 videos of Toad. One has a tribute of Toad from the X-men movie. The other video has funny scenes of Toad in X-men Evolution.
