After 40 Years, X-Men Villain Finally Gains the Superpower They Deserve

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for NYX #6

Mojo, traditionally bound to his own dimension, poses a fresh menace with newfound powers that threaten to turn Earth into his personal playground. Surprisingly, the acclaimed team of young mutants appears notably unfazed by this looming crisis.

As they prepare for a spectacular concert, the event is abruptly interrupted by Local, a mutant technopath under the control of Mojo’s grotesque puppet, Mr. Friend, fashioned from a deceased mutant’s remains.

In the ensuing chaos, Mojo seizes control over Local, adding him to his collection of puppets. It’s a rare sight to see Mojo on Earth, but he returns with a dark agenda and a revamped set of abilities.

Mojo’s Manipulative Powers Take a Sinister Turn

NYX #6, Local becomes Mojo's next puppet

Within the boundaries of the Mojoverse, Mojo wields near-godlike powers, but outside, these abilities seem restricted. Although he’s showcased lethal control over weather phenomena, his principal strength derives from manipulating ratings and public appeal. The current NYX series marks the debut of Mojo’s puppeteering prowess, revealing his intent to amass a collection of mutants. Each controlled mutant endows him with new capabilities; if he gathers enough power, he could transform Earth into a personal Mojoverse.

If Mojo can recruit a sufficient number of technopaths alongside prominent actors, he could swiftly dominate the globe, commandeering every screen to broadcast his warped entertainment.

The X-Men’s Krakoan Era has demonstrated the formidable potential of “mutant circuits.”With the right assortment of powers, Mojo could resurrect the dead and reshape reality itself. As he embarks on this mission to enlarge his mutant collection, his strategy becomes increasingly clear: accumulate more technopaths. When Mojo attracts attention, he gains strength—every screen connected to the masses empowers him. Mojo’s ultimate goal is to exploit this influence, transforming every viewing device into a channel for his distorted narratives.

Mojo Could Achieve Global Domination with His Own Technopath “Mutant Circuit”

Mojo’s Dominance Extends Beyond the Mojoverse

Mojo’s overwhelming creativity and terror might soon invade Earth-616, potentially establishing him as a “God of Obsessive Attention.”His new puppeteering ability significantly boosts his threat level. With a profound understanding of mutants and a knack for orchestrating intricate plots, Mojo’s followers could greatly enhance his influence. Wolverine and the X-Men must be vigilant regarding his escalating ambitions; if unchecked, Earth itself may fall victim to Mojo’s designs, becoming the next realm of his dominion.
