He is a member of Magneto's Brotherhood and possesses enhanced leaping capability and acrobatic speed, agility, dexterity, reflexes, coordination, balance, a prehensile 13-foot tongue, and the ability to spit an acidic mucus that hardens almost instantly. He has a different personality from the comic incarnation, confident and comical. He battles Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey all at the same time in the Statue of Liberty, knocking Storm down an elevator shaft, Storm flies up again and blows Toad out of the statue, his tongue lashing into a support beam to stay alive. However, Storm strikes his tongue with a lightning bolt and electrocutes Toad, There is no confirmation on what happened to him as a result of this attack.

Notes

  • Toad was included in an early script X2, where he dueled of against Nightcrawler; but due to conflict's with Ray Park's schedule, he was removed from the script.
  • It was falesly believed by some that he made a cameo in X-Men: The Last Stand - a green skinned mutant is seen crawling on a wall when Magneto makes a speech in a mutant meeting. This mutant is later seen in the first wave of attack on Alcatraz, where he is hit by a needle containing the mutant cure and then fell from the structure he was clinging to, his skin changing colours. The character however was confirmed as not being Toad, according to the credits of the movie; many believe to be Anole.

Ray Park played the character of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. The character was voiced by Peter Serafinowicz, whose lines were dubbed over Park's. Ray Park's talents as a stuntman and martial artist allowed him to perform the difficult moves required by the role.

Park performed stunts as The Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow (1999, Tim Burton), although the Horseman was played by Christopher Walken in non-combat scenes. Park also another athletic villain, Toad, in the first X-Men film (2000, Bryan Singer). Toad briefly showed off his "lightsaber" skills in the movie with a metal pole as an homage to his Star Wars counterpart; similarly, the Headless Horseman also moves his sword this fashion.
