Editing Toad (Marvel Comics) (section)

===''X-Men: Forever''===
Years later, still struggling with depression, Toad was captured by [[Ship (comics)|Prosh]], along with [[Juggernaut (character)|Juggernaut]], [[Iceman (Marvel Comics)|Iceman]], [[Jean Grey]], and [[Mystique (character)|Mystique]] as part of a time-hopping plan to stop a global threat. Toad learned that his deformed body was the result of experimentation by Juggernaut's father, Kurt Marko, at [[Alamogordo, New Mexico]], which left Toad with an unstable genetic structure. The Stranger's equipment corrected his genetic flaws, resulting in an almost complete metamorphosis: Toad had a taller and slimmer appearance and had his powers augmented.

He joined several more incarnations of the Brotherhood of Mutants, none of which lasted for long.<ref>''X-Men: Forever'' #1-6 (2001). Marvel Comics.</ref>
