Japheth

Japheth is the real name of Maggott, a mutant X-Men member whose unusual physiology centers on two sentient, slug-like creatures named Eany and Meany that serve as his digestive system, granting him enhanced strength and stamina after they feed.

Japheth stepped onto the Marvel stage in 1997, a product of the Copper/Modern Age's appetite for bold, unconventional mutant storytelling, and has carried the X-Men banner ever since. A card-carrying member of that legendary team, Japheth keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with icons like Logan, Storm, and Maggott across the storied runs of Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, and Dark X-Men. Though their catalog footprint is focused, three of those appearances carry key-issue weight, signaling that collectors have taken notice. Nearly three decades of continuous presence in the Marvel Universe is a quiet testament to a character who has earned their place among mutantkind's finest.
