Watch Jenna Ortega go 'rogue' in a new XMen parody sketch on SNL:
It looks like Jenna Ortega was transferred from the Nevermore Academy to the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, as the actress starred in a Saturday Night Live sketch that served as a parody of Marvel's X-Men. Hosted by Kenan Thompson portraying a fictional television star named Jay, the "School vs. School" dynamic placed students and a teacher from a regular institution in a battle of knowledge against people who are most definitely knock-off mutants.
Mikey Day plays Professor Zander, a bald academic who uses a hovering wheelchair to move around his institution. At first, it is implied that this wise teacher possesses some sort of telekinetic set of skills, allowing him to read the thoughts of those around him. Zander constantly argues with Ortega's character, Zena, because the young woman believes she is prepared to use her powers and venture out into the world on her own, even if she might not be completely ready for the task.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Love Life's Punkie Johnson is featured in the sketch as the teacher from the regular school. Unfortunately, her character doesn't have a good time at the contest because, when she is asked a question by Jay, Professor Zander telepathically fries her brain, leaving the woman frozen with a nosebleed and a terrified look on her face.
