>>108367094>Wished they just got done and over with it and made him like that everywhereThey kinda did. The comics adapted that look for him after the movie. The issue is that Toad is such a Z-list jobber that nobody is even interested in doing anything with him other than as a joke. You would have to take it as a personal mission to rehabilitate Toad and make him a cool martial artists antagonist in order to make him into a believable threat.
Actually I'm amazed nobody has ever tried to make him an X-man in one of the lesser teams, like the half dozen iterations of X-Force in the past 15 years, and make him more of a badass that way. And no, being a fucking janitor in Aaron's X-men doesn't count. He was used as a punchline joke and that ugly duckling "romance" with Husk was fucking terrible use of the character.
