The 90’s gave us many strange, almost grotesque new mutant characters. It was a backlash from the Barbie and Ken mutants of old. Skin, Chamber, Penance, Husk, Marrow and Maggot all either had gross powers or an unusual appearance. I responded well to this change. It made sense to me that some “morlock” type characters could be introduced and not be considered villians.
So with Maggot, I definetely loved his crazy power; the fact that he commanded these two insatiable slug-like entities. But when they started talking about his digestive system and all that stupidness, it became too much. I didn’t need to know all that.
His design was also all over the place. Is he big or is he little? Is he blue or is he brown? Why is he totally ripping off Guido’s look? Well, above is my vision of how Maggot should have looked all the time. And don’t forget to ROLL OVER him to see his long African uncut dark ‘n’ lovely penis.
