History

making the ship crash. Moments before, he teleported in the ship and used a wave of energy that knocked down every N-Tek agent in the ship and later teleported them to his hideout, where Mortum tortured them. At the same time, Mortum made an alliance with Extroyer, Toxzon and The Elementors in order to get the powerful Connect-Tek device, promising to give all secrets of N-Tek to them. After the device was stolen multiple times by Toxzon and The Elementors, Team Turbo managed to get the device, but it was later revealed that it was just a realistic hologram made to trick Max and his team.
While Max's team was going to Mortum's hideout, he was analyzing the Connect-Tek and at the same time saying that even though that Jim created the Connect-Tek, he didn't had a vision of what it could do. After Max's Team Turbo arrived, Max fought against Mortum and damaged the device by using his Connect-Tek sword to slice its side. Mortum escapes and teleports to the desert where his assistants were waiting. There, he discovers that the device was damaged and it starts to overload with energy until it explodes on Mortum, presumably causing a mutation and infusing the device within his body.
Abilities
- Superhuman Strength: Mortum is considerably stronger than an average person. This was seen when Mortum easily destroyed the blade of the Connect-Tek Sword of Jim McGrath into pieces without much effort.
- Teleportation: With this ability, Mortum can teleport into any location that he pleases to go. Also, this is used as a strategy to escape. With his teleportation, it has been proven that he can teleport from a very long distance. He only cannot teleport himself, but also people that are around him.
- Intangibility: Similar to a ghost, Mortum can pass through physical matter.
- Transdimensional Energy: Mortum can use a portion of this energy to teleport himself or other people around him and also attack. He can launch white rays and produce strong discharges of this energy, capable of knocking down many N-Tek Agents.
Arsenal
- Bombs: Mortum possesses black floating bombs with white spheres that, when activated, are attached to the chest of the person through three suckers. They are presumably fed by Mortum's transdimensional energy.
- Advanced Technology: Mortum counts with advanced technology on his base and technology.
- Connect-Tek: In the end of Max Steel: Team Turbo, Mortum successfully steals the Connect-Tek once for all of N-Tek's hands, but the device was damaged and ultimately is infused with Mortum, causing a mutation that alters his appearance and powers.
Skills
- Genius Intellect:
- Expert Tactician: Mortum proved to be a real threat by managing to destroy and crash the Daedelus Platform (none of the villains managed to destroy the ship, with the exception of Toxzon and his virus, that almost made the ship crash in A Germ of an Idea) only with his skills and technology. Also, he is one of the few characters (or perhaps the only) that knows about the secret bases of N-Tek spread around the world, which offers advantage to him, making Mortum a unpredictable villain.
Etymology
In latin, "Mortum" means "dead", which possibly refers to his appearance, considering that he has very pale skin and black circles around his eyes, which is commonly seen in deceased corpses and skeletons. Besides, Mortum constantly refers to death in some of his speeches (like when Max and his Team Turbo went to his base to rescue the N-Tek Agents and Mortum said that he would only see them in the after-life) and also the chamber that he used to torture the N-Tek Agents are similar to coffins.
Appearance
Personality
Calm, threatening, ambitious and treacherous, Mortum is a megalomaniac thirst for power, wanting to reinvent the humanity and become a living danger, a god. He represents a real danger to N-Tek and the world, considering that he managed to destroy the Daedelus Platform and manipulate the villains in exchange for N-Tek's secrets (which he probably wouldn't share) that also denotes his manipulative nature. He considers himself as a mang that get what he wants. In some of his phrases, he refers to death and constantly says to Max and his Team Turbo that there is no hope left.
Trivia
- Mortum's personality and traits are slightly similar to Miles Dread. They both represent a major threat to Earth, are extremely treacherous, are obsessed over power, have a love for the gothic style and are very smart, possessing a great knowledge about science.
- Considering that Mortum's name is related to death, he may be connected, or even be the Robot Zombie. It is still unknown if he is him in fact, but in the end of Max Steel: Team Turbo, the Connect-Tek device exploded on him and seemed to caused a mutation, where the bones and flesh could be seen during some seconds, reinforcing that he could be the villain. Since he is probably connected to the Connect-Tek device, his body probably was modified and transformed into half robot and zombie.
- However, the official synopsis of Max Steel: Team Turbo Fusion-Tek says that the Robot Zombie emerges from its grave, not mentioning that he already existed before the events of the movie aforementioned.
- He is voiced by Scott McNeil, who also voiced Elementor (as well Klean Kal in the new series) in the movies of the classic Max Steel.
- He is one of the few characters that knows about N-Tek's secret bases.
- When Mortum is hit by someone or something, his skeleton gets visible during some seconds. His skull also resembles L'Etranger's mask.
