Who is Mojo?

Origin Mojoworld is an extradimensional and extratemporal realm inhabited by the semi-humanoid Spineless Ones. Due to their world's unique nature, radio and television signals from Earth were distorted and sent through time to early in the Spineless Ones' existence, bombarding their brains with alien images. This has affected their mental state, giving them an intense love of televised entertainment but immense disdain, fear and awe towards humans. When the Spineless One Arize was born, his inventions revolutionized their culture. Arize created mechanical supports to allow the Spineless Ones to stand upright, and genetically engineered slave species. Out of Arize's twisted sense of humor, he made some to resemble the hated image of Humans. Creation Mojo was created by Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams . He first appeared in Longshot issue 3 which was released in November 1985.
