The mutated Mark Mothersbaugh is the result of a freaky accident which may have involved Lake Mutagenic water. In the 31st century, he is still the lead singer of Devo, a job he has kept at least part time since 1972, but has become a green octopus-like mutant with four eyes, whose DNA is 40% potato. Mothersbaugh participated in the Devolution Revolution of September of 3010 that officially granted the Sewer Mutants their freedom.
Additional Info
Trivia
- He has a small umbrella (which is very similar to an energy dome) that he used to protect himself from the sewage wave.
- His four eyes may be a reference to the stereotypical school-yard insult "four eyes" applied to people with glasses, like him.
- "40% Potato" is likely a reference to how Devo fans are called "spuds", a term that also means potato
