Origins

In the original Birdman series, he served as a main villian, who used his Mind taking powers to use others to do his bidding. As seen in Mindless, Mentok has had a very Superman-like origin, including a father who is a green-skinned version of Marlon Brando's Jor-El.

Mentok was sent to Earth as a baby, because his planet was being destroyed. Even as a baby, he had a goatee and large side burns. He blames his mother for wanting him not to be a judge. Just before being shot off to earth, his mother warns him of not joining law. He sees himself as possessing an off the charts IQ, and has attended prestigious galactical schools and yet gets stuck doing petty legal disputes, and is rather sorry for himself.

Though a session of making out with Gigi changes his mind!

Current Background

Mentok the Mind-Taker

Mentok

Mentok is now a court judge who often hears Harvey's cases. He has been given the personality of a cocky and flamboyant stage magician; because of this, he often predicts the result of the cases he presides over before they have even started. He often makes an entrance, such as appearing in a cloud of smoke or from a bolt of lightning. Mentok's gavel is a brain on a handle, which squishes when struck. He also seems to enjoy patronizing people such as Inch High Private Eye and especially the courtroom's bailiff, while the bailiff usually just ignores him and stares forward with a blank expression. His main catch phrase is "Booweeoop" to give the impression of eerie sci-fi theremin music sound and is said whilst moving his hands around in a circular motion often when 'Mind Taking'.

Powers and Abilities

He has various psychic powers including: teleportation, telepathy, hypnotism, the ability to stop time, precognition, and telekinesis — all referred to as "mind taking" — but he rarely uses them for anything beyond sophomoric mischief.

Other Jobs

During his time on Earth, Mentok has worked as a mufti, a genie, a sex trade worker, a Cossack, and an E.S.T. instructor.

Trivia

• In Mufti Trouble Shazzan accuses Mentok of having imprisoned him in the vase centuries ago for gazing on the king's intended. Mentok was a genie called Mufti the Mizwa of Muzzy Tah in those days, one of several identities he has had over the years. Shazzan insists on Peanut representing him, and Mentok, after he is captured, manipulates Harvey into representing him. Mentok insists that Shazzan is attempting to frame him, and escapes from court to retrieve the halves of a magic disk that, when put back together and the magic word thus revealed is spoken (by Avenger), imprisons Shazzan in the vase again.
• In Mufti Trouble Avenger asks Mentok to pee in a sample cup for him. The results show he has a low sperm count and dangerously high levels of THC.

Video Game

Mentok appears in four of the five cases as judge.
