Mojo is the main antagonist of "My Pitch for Deadpool and Wolverine", a YouTube video created by Nando v Movies. He is the tyrannical and self-aware ruler of the Mojoverse who draws power from Marvel's real-world ratings. In order to boost said ratings and conquer the Multiverse, he orchestrated a plan to have Deadpool and Wolverine team up and later fight each other, thus making him Deadpool's arch-nemesis.
Like all characters in the videos, he was voiced by Nando v Movies himself.
History[]
In the past, Mojo had been meddling with the X-Men movies in secret for years, doing whatever he wanted without caring about the integrity of said films. Following the real-world Disney-Fox merger, Mojo Mojo was appointed to oversee an incursion between the Fox X-Men universe and MCU, causing immense chaos and destruction. During the incursion, Mojo teleported various X-Men characters to the MCU. However, he could not kidnap Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson) due to his self-awareness. Thus, he had one of his agents, Major Domo, ask the mutant to join the MCU. While initially on board, Deadpool rejected the idea when Domo told him that Mojo wouldn't allow Deadpool to bring his family. Thus, Mojo had Deadpool's daughter, Cher, kidnapped.
Deadpool, now accompanied by Wolverine (aka Logan), traveled to Mojo World and stormed Mojo's castle. While the mission appeared to be a success, Wolverine soon noticed an invisible camera, revealing to them that Mojo had been recording the entire fight. Mojo then appears on a TV screen and tells the duo that Cher isn't in his castle, and that the "castle" itself is actually a prison. Mojo then sends Spiral, a six-armed assassin working for Mojo, Laura, a brainwashed clone/daughter of Wolverine from another dimension, to fight them. Not wanting to hurt Laura, Wolverine and Deadpool lose and are imprisoned.
After a conversation with Laura, Mojo placed mind-control devices in Wolverine and Deadpool and forced them to participate in his tournament battle, where Wolverine would reluctantly kill Shatterstar. Mojo then revealed that he gave Cable the knowledge of Wolverine to ensure that Deadpool would bring him, as he needed a team-up movie between the two to get enough ratings to conquer the entire multiverse. He then forced the duo to fight to the death, with the winner being sent to the MCU with their daughter and the loser's daughter living the rest of their life as Mojo's slave.
Mojo turns the arena into the final battle from X-Men Origins: Wolverine and takes control of Logan and Wade, forcing them to fight. While it looks like Deadpool is finished, he soon devises a plan. Deadpool starts talking about how he is overrated and his fans are childish imbeciles. This caused Mojo's ratings to go down, making him weaker. Mojo orders Domo to increase the obedience chips power, causing it to overhead and explode, decapitating Deadpool.
Deadpool, still able to control his body, cuts the obedience chip out of Wolverine. Furiously, Mojo summons an army of Sentinels and orders them to kill Deadpool. Before the fight begins, portals open up and the the entire X-Men team joins the fightr. During the battle, Colossus threw Copycat (disguised as Deadpool) and Wolverine into the control room, leaving the pair to confront Mojo. Mojo then reveals that he has Cher in the room with him and that he can kill anyone by touching them.
Mojo immediately sees through Copycat's trick, forcing the real Deadpool to reveal himself. Mojo attempted to make a deal with Deadpool, promising him that his family could come with him. When Deadpool questions why his universe has to die, Mojo tells him that is has no future and that if he stays, he'll die with it. Deadpool agrees to the deal, but on the condition that the X-Men universe lives. Mojo denies, and Deadpool threatens to kill himself if Mojo doesn't comply. Soon, Nightcrawler arrives, accompanied by Darwin. Darwin tells everyone that his powers allow him to do whatever it takes to survive, including creating a way to kill Deadpool. Mojo, accepting that he's been beaten, calls his boss and arranges for the X-Men universe to be spared.
Appearance[]
Since different depictions of Mojo are used throughout the video, he doesn't have a concrete appearance. However, it is know that he is a green/yellow humanoid with a large body and monstrous face. He does not appear to have legs and instead sits in a mechanical chair, leaving him with six-spider like legs and a spiked robotic arm.
Personality[]
Mojo is very cold and sadistic, seemingly devoid of any humanity. He does not care about anyone or anything, excluding himself and his lust for power. Mojo would kill people and even destroy entire universes of it meant he would be on top. Conversely, Mojo does not like to see his plans fail and will go into a breakdown if they do so. Mojo is very manipulative, as he was able to orchestrate a brilliant plan to bring Deadpool and Wolverine to him. He also appears to be cowardly, as he was described as "his spinelessness" by Major Domo. Mojo exhibits self awareness and often references the fact that everything around him is fictional with cruel taunts.

You knew I would kill him because I can't die but he can. [...] You don't need him, you just need me. Mojo: That's not quite it. I did need him, for one last fight, before he goes away forever too.

It's the best deal you are going to get. Deadpool: Why does our universe have to die? Mojo: Because, your universe has no future. It is a relic. No one thinks about it, trust me, I know. And the powers that be understand that maintaining it is costly, not a good investment. So it will end and either it drags you down with it, or, you could escape on this lifeboat I'm offering. Either way, it goes. Deadpool: You're risking all this because of me. Mojo: Indeed, and they will not stop until they have you. They will destroy everything. Believe it or not, I'm the good cop. Deadpool: OK, I'll do it, on one condition. Mojo: Which is. Deadpool: My family comes with me and everyone lives. Mojo: Impossible! They won't allow it! Deadpool: They have to, because it you want me alive, that's the deal. Mojo: I don't think you know how empty of a threat that is. Nothing can kill you. Nothing. |

Trivia[]
- One of the reasons Nando chose Mojo to be the main antagonist because he could challenge Deadpool on a mental capacity, being one of the only other characters able to break the fourth wall. He felt that the villains of the first two movies, Ajax and Cable, only challenged Deadpool on a physical level.
- In terms of casting, Nando's ideal choice to play Mojo is Mike Meyers.
- Mojo could be viewed as a foil to Deadpool. Both of them are aware of their status' as fictional characters, though while Deadpool does not seem to care about this fact and continues to go about his existence as normal, Mojo uses his self-awareness to manipulate others and accumulate power.
- In actuality, the villain of Deadpool and Wolverine ended up being Cassandra Nova, not Mojo.
- It is never explained who Mojo works for, though Nando suggested that it could be Kang the Conqueror, K.E.V.I.N., or even the real life Keven Feige.
