Mortimer Toynbee was lost. In fact he'd felt he had spent his entire life lost. He was lost when his parents left him at the orphanage.
Lost among the other children that had been cast aside by wayward progenitors. Lost among his fellow so-called homo superior.
Lost in space among strange star gods and lost on earth cast aside by people he'd idolized and loved.
So he killed himself. Tried to discard his life like so many others had discarded him, like refuse, like trash... but as they say one mans trash...

and where the mutants lost their toadee. The Shadow council found Mortimer Toynbee.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mortimer Toynbee is the story of the mutant formerly known as toad and how he becomes a high level espionage asset/agent for any of the espianoge groups you can thik of really but his true allegiance is to the shadow council and himself

Thing about toad is that he's really a big ball of physical super powers nowadays but MORE importantly... toad is a genius can build ex-skeltons, and androids but really wasn't creative enbogh to become IronMan, but honestly his biggest thing was that he was ugly and ashamed and made miserable.

But now... he's probably one of the greatest assassins the world has never known (Thanks to Moira Mctaggert continually resetting everything).

His powers really lend themselves to this too and marvel just kept dumping them on him... Think of everything any amphian creature on earth "CAN" do and "The Monster" Mortimer Toynbee can do it.
He's spiderman + the purpleman + gorgan from hydra, and so finally someone comes in and puts ALL those powers to use.
Wall Crawling, camouflage, super-genius, pheromones, various chemical secretions. Agility and speed the way toads can react fast enough to catch flies he use guns... swords... knives... whatever's handy. He's been trained by some of the best money can buy, as well as the taskmaser who won't remeber him specifially because Mortimer is a master of hiding his mutation and skills, in fact being non-descript at will is one of his greatest abilities.

Visually he's Jack Hawskmore from the authority with a better suit, and better hair. Occasionally no shirt and a long coat...
Personality wise he's a smiley glad hand, well wishing, friendly and polite. Conversely he's also the villian character from not country from old men. "Why do you always say that.... You don't have to do this"

In the end though, he's not a character that misses the X-story. He doesn't care if sentinels ravage the planet, nor honestly if "Bad Guys" win, or the "Good Guys" win. . . he's finally found something that matters more than any allegiance, any plan, any ending...
He's found himself.

A new kind of man, a new kind of monster.

I like this. I like this a lot, actually.

Vincent Price from House of Wax plus Vincent Price from Dr. Phibes. He's not a shapeshifter, he's an actor who murders everyone that ever wronged him in outlandish and attention-getting ways. He uses his knowledge of disguise to get close to his victims.

Mr. Freeze
Reforms. Serves his sentence in a special room in Ivy University while helping Ray Palmer come up with miracle treatments. Cryo super science plus microsurgeons can cure a lot. Feels a vague but tangible sense of satisfaction for the lives he saves.

Catwoman
Gets a sidekick after she happens to catch a runaway shoplifter. She takes the runaway under her wing to show her how its done.
I like your ideas, but do you have any in mind for Marvel villains?
