Mortum

"Greetings! I am Professor Mortum. I'll be your villain this morning."

- Mortum's introduction

Mortum is the main antagonist in Team Turbo and Team Turbo Fusion-Tek of the Max Steel franchise. He is voiced by Scott McNeil.

Team Turbo
At the beginning of the movie, Mortum attacks N-Tek battleship Daedelus Platform, causing it to crash. Before anyone could escape, however, Mortum appears, announcing himself as their villain. N-Tek fights Mortum head on, but Mortum easily overpowers them. He then goes over to Jim McGrath who he defeated and demands a device from him known as Connect-Tek. However, Jim refuses as he chooses to die. Mortum, on the other hand, proceeds to teleport himself and everyone away from the Daedelus Platform as it soon crashes, which Max soon discovers in its wreckage.

At Mortum's base where he has all the N-Tek agents in torturing chambers, Mortum contacts Toxzon, Extroyer and the Elementors to form a deal with them to raid N-Tek bases and find the Connect-Tek for him, in exchange for the rest of N-Tek's technology. The villains soon agree.

Extroyer begins his raid at N-Tek base World 31 where Rayner is witnessing him and contacts Max Steel there. Once Max arrives, he sees Extroyer talking to a projection of Mortum, informing him about Mikinian symbols that he has found and could not decipher. Mortum tells him to continue his search before ending their transmission. However, Extroyer soon wonders about keeping Connect-Tek for himself after realizing how powerful it is for Mortum to have it.
