The Blob is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in X-Men #3. A mutant originally depicted as a morbidly obese circus freak, the Blob claims to be immovable when he so desires. He possesses an extreme amount of pliable body mass, which grants him superhuman strength. Possessing the demeanor of a bully, he mostly uses his powers for petty crime, leading him to clash repeatedly with the X-Men, though he has occasionally fought other superheroes like Spider-Man. The Blob is also sometimes depicted as a member of supervillain teams like the Brotherhood of Mutants and Freedom Force.
