POWERS: Mortimer’s powers mimic those of his namesake the common toad. His upper arms and legs are almost entirely muscular and he can pack a punch that would make even a heavyweight boxer pause. Unfortunately the rest of his body is not so well protected, and comparatively open to pain. He can use this strength to propel him in single leaps and has been has been observed reaching an altitude of 24 feet and covering a distance on the ground of 36 feet.
Mort also has enhanced agility his muscular strength and unique physiognomy giving him the ability to execute mid air spins, twins and gymnastics that come naturally to him. His unusually flexible spine enables him to crouch continually without damage and also enhances his agility. His skin has an unhealthy pale green tinge and secretes a slimy sweaty mucous that gives him an extremely unattractive appearance. He also has sensitive eyesight, strong daylight can blind him - he prefers darkened alleys and underground or to operate after dark.
His adaptive metabolism allows him to excrete slime from his pores that can render muscles numb and unresponsive. He can even spit this mucous in a solid form which hardens almost immediately to create a hard sticky shell. His sticky secretions also help when climbing or clinging to walls, naturally adhesive they give him added purchase, allowing him to scale sheer drops like a bargain basement Spiderman. His tongue is also open for comment - coiled in his mouth and at least 5 foot long, it is like silly putty, capable of stretching to a reach of around 25 feet. His control over it is moderate, it is not too prehensile, but he can use it like a whip, giving stinging lashes, or to coil round his victims or items to draw them closer. He can even, to a certain extent, use it to assist his climbing.
PROFILE: Mortimer has ended up as a bitter and unloved figure. He despises mankind and spurns them as much as they spurn him. In reality all he wants is for someone to see beyond the monster and recognise the real him - rather like a modern day beauty and the beast. Unfortunately the real him is also a beast, his psyche has become warped by his isolation and he is a sickening toady to anyone who gives him the slightest regard, suffocating them with false praise and cloying sentiment. He is none to smart, and is content to follow those that give him attention in terms of monetary reward or some kind of purpose to his life. He is slightly more hardened, and will not follow someone blindly for no financial gain, but is still more easily swayed by false praise or a chance to fit in. He has no depth to he soul at all, he just wants affection or carnal gratification, and the more repulsive his character becomes, the less likely he is to get it. A vicious circle.
