Title:
X-Men (1991)
Synopsis:
"A Boykie and His Dingies"
As Cecilia gives mandatory physicals to all the X-Men after their ordeal with the Ru’tai, Wolverine searches for Maggott and finds him hiding in Storm’s attic. Wolverine confronts Maggott about his recent odd behavior, including why he doesn’t eat. Reluctant at first, Maggott explains his origins. He was one of five brothers living in Transvaal near the town of Ottoshoop and his name is Japheth. He, however, was not growing properly and his family was starving to death, as his parents paid for his medical costs and special food he needed to eat. When he was twelve, he heard his mother pray to God to end their suffering, so he took the jeep and drove as far as he could, which was the Kalahari Desert. It was there that he discovered his brother, Daniel, sleeping in the back. The two continued walking until they were found by Magneto, who used his powers to cure Japheth by pulling out two slugs from his stomach, which were the source of his health problems. These slugs were his digestive system given form and could enter and leave Maggott’s body without harming him. Magneto brought the boys back home, but found that the Afrikaners destroyed it and murdered Maggott’s eldest brother, Lot, which prompted his father to head to Ottoshoop to get revenge. Magneto and Maggott followed and Maggott told Magneto to stop the white men. Magneto killed them all to the horror of Maggott, but much to the glee of the Africans. Disgusted, Maggott refused to join Magneto, who left assured that one day Maggott would see the true way. Maggott explains his powers to Wolverine and adds that the story gets worse, but Wolverine tells him that they have plenty of time to talk about the rest later. Storm returns from the post office with a package from her mother, Ainet, who tells her that Ananasi threatens the world and Storm must return home.
