Blob (comics)

Blob's power is that of morbid obesity. To be more precise, Blob's gigantic rolls of fat grant him resistance to injury and are impenetrable, even to Wolverine's claws. He can also alter his personal gravity to make him virtually immovable, although an incredible force (such as Juggernaut can uproot him.

His agility is at a level of an athlete of normal weight and build, despite his massive girth; this unseeming agility has won him more than a few fights with unsuspecting opponents. His major weaknesses are his short temper, lack of foresight, and his easily-manipulated self-esteem. The Blob has been associated with almost every iteration of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and has consistently been one of its most sadistic members.

He first started out as a marvel at a circus sideshow, but when he learned of the existence of the X-Men he first decided to join them, then to take over their mansion; he failed at both tasks. Later, he was recruited for Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants; he remained a member through the Brotherhood's reorganization as Freedom Force, and, after Freedom Force's dissolution, he rejoined the Brotherhood with the rest of his surviving teammates.

The Blob has also appeared in the X-Men Evolution cartoon, where he was a classmate and bully of the X-Men prior to joining Mystique's Brotherhood.
