Maggott

Japheth, a South African mutant, discovered his power manifested in a grotesque way: his digestive system detached from his body as two large bio-mechanical slugs called Eany and Meany, which could consume almost anything and transfer energy back to him, granting him enhanced strength and durability.

Few mutants who joined the X-Men's ranks in the late 1990s made quite the impression Maggott did — bursting onto the scene in 1997, right at the tail end of comics' Copper Age and into the Modern era, in a debut issue that collectors still flag as significant. A card-carrying X-Man, he's shared adventures with some of Marvel's heaviest hitters: Logan, Storm, and the broader Uncanny X-Men roster that defined that electric, overcrowded era of mutantkind. His appearances are concentrated across Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, and Dark X-Men — a spread that speaks to a character who refused to quietly fade into the background despite a relatively modest footprint of 39 catalog appearances. With three key issues to his name and nearly three decades of publishing history behind him, Maggott is exactly the kind of cult-favorite deep-cut that rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig past the A-listers.
