Here&#;s the Lowdown on Mojo, the Unattached Best &#;X-Men &#;97&#; Villain Yet
I&#;ve said it before, and I&#;ll say it again (and probably a few more times): Even if X-Men &#;97 wasn&#;t wielding some of the beefiest nostalgia known to nerdkind, it would still be flying just as high as it is now thanks to its top-notch storytelling fundamentals.

He’s an over-the-top parody of network executives, who became increasingly relevant as reality TV emerged in the 80s and 90s. His commitment to making an entertaining story makes him a fantastic villain, but it’s complicated to make such an impersonal, dispassionately cruel, villain work in a Marvel movie.
