Maggott (Japheth) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was briefly a member of the X-Men.
A flamboyant Zulu mutant who uses exaggerated Afrikaans slang, Maggott is advertised as one of the strangest X-Men. His digestive system takes the form of two slugs which can eat through practically any substance. After feeding, the slugs reenter Maggott's abdomen and pass nourishment into him, giving him incredible power.
