Major Story Arcs
Celestials
Tode attempts to destroy the
Celestials' cosmic beacon by sending one of his subjects,
Kro, to locate it. When Kro fails to carry out his orders, Tode sends him to attack
New York City. Later, Tode manages to survive the flooding of the
City of Toads, which had been caused by
Eson.
Eternals
Tode leads his armies in an attack on the city of
Olympia. He defeats the
Eternals, and imprisons many of them through the use of brain mines. He then has the Eternals' immortality distilled and consumes it in an attempt to achieve immortality, which fails. He is defeated by
Iron Man and members of the Eternals. He and the Deviants from the City of Toads are then molecularly rearranged into a large organic cube, effectively killing them.
Powers and Abilities
Tode has no superhuman powers or abilities. His physical mutation of an abnormally large head is a detriment which limits his movement severely and causes him to rely on others for support. He is a gifted leader and a skilled tactician.
