Most of the denizens of what would come to be called the
Mojoverse were slowly driven insane by waves of energy from another dimension. They are unable to stand upright until the scientist Arize develops exoskeletons to assist them. Some members of the race refuse to use the exoskeletons and call themselves the Spineless Ones. The Spineless Ones utilize motorized platforms to transport their bodies and take over their dimension. Arize is forced to create humanoid slaves to serve the Spineless Ones, but implants them with the capability to turn against their masters. Arize is later banished by the Spineless Ones after refusing to create weapons for them. Mojo, one of the Spineless Ones, assumes control of his dimension, calling it the Mojoverse. His followers, including
Warwolves (dog-like metallic beings with the ability to kill people and take over the remains of their bodies as skins), become known as Wildways. Mojo is served by
Major Domo, an android who oversees his financial records and relays commands to his servants. Major Domo is himself assisted by Minor Domo, a hysterical young girl prone to imagining worst-case scenarios. One of Mojo's slaves,
Longshot, attempts to lead a rebellion against him, but is captured and has his memories removed. Longshot escapes to Earth before returning to the Mojoverse alongside his friends Quark and Ricochet Rita to free Mojo's slaves. However, they are unsuccessful. Longshot is brainwashed again, while Rita is captured by Mojo, transformed into a six-armed warrior named
Spiral, and sent back in time to attack Longshot and facilitate the events that led to her creation. Mojo manipulates X-Men member
Rachel Summers into working for him, but she escapes soon afterward. After the X-Men are killed by the
Adversary, Mojo attempts to create versions of them who he can control. Mojo creates several versions of the X-Men, but he considers all of them failures and orders them to be killed. The
X-Babies, child versions of the X-Men, emerge the sole survivors. They rebel against Mojo and escape, taking Rita with them. Mojo is later demoted by the producers on Mojo World due to low ratings and moved to "Educational Broadcasting". He creates an agency named the Yellow Eye to spy on every single mutant alive. When
Cable sends
Domino to spy on this agency, she is captured and brainwashed by Mojo. His organization is eventually brought down by the
X-Force. In the 2016
Howard the Duck run, Mojo is revealed to have used footage of Howard's adventure to create a
reality show for the Mojoverse. To fill in the gaps on Howard's life, Mojo films footage of a small alien in a duck costume interacting with
Lea Thompson performing as
Beverly Switzler (referencing the
1986 film adaptation of the character). During the "
Age of Revelation" storyline, Longshot leaves Mojo's service and refuses to return unless his pay is raised. In response, Mojo plans a new show as the X-Babies help him and Major Domo plan it. They end up creating
Longshots, starring
Hellcat,
Bishop,
Rhino,
Kraven the Hunter, and
Wonder Man. Major Domo later tells Mojo that
Galactus' agent turned down a deal. Mojo caves and accepts Longshot's terms. ==Powers and abilities==
