they say the bigger they are the harder
they fall but this dude is no pushover
come on man look at him big old ass
coming at the furnisher welcome to
watchmojo.com
today we will explore the comic book
origins of the blob if you want as oh
don’t mention his weight as with most
comic book characters they’re often
reimagining and different versions to a
character’s past we have chosen to
primarily follow the storyline which
unfolded in 1964 s x-men number three
which was expanded upon in 1996 s
x-force number 52 let’s dance
the massive mutant known as the blob is
one of the x-men’s oldest adversaries
like many other super beings the blob
has incredible strength and endurance in
addition his sheer mass makes him very
difficult to injure and even more
difficult to move against his will
you pathetic lazy clods have destroyed
my house yeah will we be kind of
thinking about cleaning up the blob
whose real name is Frank Dux debuted in
1964 very early in the x-men’s run the
issue opened with a familiar sight the
x-men undergoing training exercises
under the direction of Professor X
however the professor interrupted the
proceedings because he received a mental
signal that a new mutant was nearby
changing into street clothes the x-men
went in search of this new mutant as
they didn’t know what he looked like or
what his powers were they made a few
mistakes along the way eventually
however Cyclops located their target at
a carnival
called the blob he turned out to be one
of the attractions at the carnival
his immense size combined with a mutant
ability to anchor his gravitational
force to the ground made him nearly
impossible to move in addition bullets
and other weapons tended to merely sink
into his putty-like flesh without doing
any damage the x-men took the blob back
to their headquarters in spite of his
arrogant personality he was asked to
join the team much to their surprise
however he turned them down afraid that
he would reveal their secret identities
they tried to stop him from leaving but
they failed the discovery that he was a
mutant made the blob even more arrogant
he took over the leadership of the
carnival and convinced his co-workers
that attacking the x-men would make them
famous
however Professor X had seen such an
eventuality he had prepared a device
that could be used to wipe all knowledge
of the x-men from the carnival workers
minds he hoped that the x-men could
subdue the carnival workers and then he
would erase their memories and send them
away with no harm done unfortunately the
x-men were still a bit inexperienced
they were unable to stop the blob and
his team who captured them and then
advanced on Professor X fortunately
Marvel Girl used her powers to escape
her ropes and then freed her colleagues
with the element of surprise on their
side they defeated their attackers and
the professor successfully swept away
all knowledge of the x-men and their
headquarters the blob returned to his
life as an attraction at the carnival
sideshow unaware of how close he came to
defeating the x-men but he would be back
to fight the mutant heroes many more
times throughout the years
the blobs powers were enhanced over time
at one point he learned how to shift his
mass enabling him to enlarge specific
parts of his body as needed in 2005 he
was one of the mutants whose powers were
eliminated by the Scarlet Witch leaving
him as a normal-sized man with enormous
excess folds of skin in recent years he
regained his powers thanks to special
injections of a serum taken from the
body of the mutant known as Dazzler the
Blom has given a lot of Marvel’s
strongest superheroes a run for their
money he’s appeared in media beyond the
comics where his amove ability makes him
a worthy enemy and gives his foes the
opportunity to demonstrate just how
strong and smart they are
