History: The Blob is a mutant whose latent superhuman powers
manifested themselves when he reached puberty. Thinking of himself as no
more than, in his own words, "an extra-strong freak," the Blob used his
superhuman powers as a performer in a carnival. The original X-Men came to
the carnival in their everyday identities to invite him to meet with their
mentor, Professor Charles Xavier. Attracted to the beautiful young X-Man
Marvel Girl, the Blob accepted, and went with the X-Men to Xavier's
mansion. There, Xavier asked the Blob to join the X-Men, but the Blob
arrogantly refused. Xavier then knew he had to use his mental powers to
erase the Blob's knowledge of the X-Men's true identities. But the Blob
had no intention of letting this happen, and, after fighting the X-Men,
escaped back to the carnival.
The Blob had learned through meeting Xavier that he himself was a
superhumanly powerful mutant. Believing himself to be superior to normal
people, the Blob took over the carnival. Knowing that the X-Men considered
him dangerous because he knew who they really were, the Blob decided to
strike out at them first. He led the other members of the carnival on an
attack on Xavier's mansion. The Blob hoped to steal whatever scientific
discoveries and special weapons that the X-Men might possess and use them
against ordinary humans. However, the X-Men defeated the Blob and his
allies, and Xavier wiped out their memories of the X-Men.
Later, Magneto attempted to recruit the Blob for his Brotherhood of Evil
Mutants. A severe blow to the head restored the Blob's memory of the
X-Men, and he joined Magneto's Brotherhood in an attack on them. In the
midst of battle Magneto launched a powerful torpedo at the X-Men, not
caring that the Blob was in the way. Torpedoes struck the Blob but did not
seriously injure him. The Brotherhood escaped, and the Blob, feeling
betrayed, swore never to trust anyone again and returned to his job with
the carnival.
Months later, the Blob met another superhumanly powerful mutant, Unus the
Untouchable, and the two of them attempted to frame their mutual enemies,
the X-Men, as thieves. This was the start of the Blob's long and close
friendship with Unus, which ended only with Unus's apparent death several
years later. The two mutants next joined Factor Three, an organization of
mutants that attempted world conquest. Unus and the Blob teamed up with
other mutants, including Magneto, for other criminal activities, although
they were continually thwarted by superhumanly powerful crimefighters.
Eventually, the Blob was recruited by Mystique for her new Brotherhood of
Evil Mutants. Although the Blob continued to operate independently of
Mystique's organization since then, he remained a member of the group.
Mystique soon became aware of the United States government's increasing
anti-mutant activity, and offered the Brotherhood's services to the
government, renaming the group Freedom Force. The Blob participated in
Freedom Force's first official mission for the government: the capture of
Magneto, his former leader in the original Brotherhood.
As a member of Freedom Force, the Blob was involved in missions that
continued to bring him into conflict with superhuman crimefighters, most
notably the X-Men, X-Factor, and the Avengers. He responded to a breakout
attempt at the Vault, a maximum security prison for super-humans along
with Freedom Force and the Avengers (The Vault Graphic Novel). As a member
of Freedom Force, along with Pyro and Avalanche attacked the Avengers
Wasp, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Vision II and Dr. Pym. He defeated Vision II
in combat, but was shrunk by Dr. Pym (Avengers #312). The Blob enjoyed the
fact that he could continue indulging his violent tendencies and fighting
his old foes while drawing a government paycheck. However, after a
disastrous mission to the Middle East, the government disbanded Freedom
Force, and the Blob was once again a free agent.
The Blob soon joined yet another version of the Brotherhood of Evil
Mutants, headed up by his old teammate from the original Brotherhood, the
Toad. This team was defeated by the outlaw mutant strike team called
X-Force.
The Blob allied himself with another old X-Men foe, the Mimic, and battled
members of the current version of X-Force under the orders of an as yet
unknown benefactor.
He was then recruited by Mystique in her new Brotherhood of Mutants
alongside Toad, Sabretooth, Avalanch and others.
Note: In the alternate time line depicted in New Warriors #11 to #13 Fred
was a member of the mutant underground lead by Magneto.
Note: The character of the Blob appeared in the X-Men: Evolution
television series.
Powers: The Blob's bloated body is phenomenally durable, giving him
superhuman strength and near-limitless invulnerability; most projectiles
simply bounce off him or imbed themselves in his flab. He has some
sensitivity to temperature extremes, but virtually nothing is capable of
penetrating or otherwise damaging his skin. The Blob is also capable of
mentally augmenting his superhuman mass so as to make himself utterly
immovable when he plants himself in any given spot.
