Fictional character biography

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Born inLubbock, Texas,Fred J. Dukes starts out as a member of acircussideshowunder the name "The Blob".[5]His act was that he could remain stationary when others tried to move him. He is detected and contacted byCharles XavierviaCyclops,who sees his performance and tells him that he (Dukes) is a mutant, and asks him to join the X-Men. At theX-Mansion,the other X-Men dislike Dukes for his obnoxious attitude. Iceman uses his power against Dukes to create an ice block around his foot, but the Blob easily escapes. The Blob refuses Xavier's invitation, saying he is better than the other X-Men. When Xavier tries erasing his mind of what has transpired, the Blob escapes the X-Mansion despite the efforts of the Beast and uses the sewer to get away without being followed. He tells the manager of the carnival he is taking over, then gathers up the other circus members and they attack the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, as he plans to get technology from the X-Men and take over the world. Meanwhile, Xavier works on a device which will allow him to erase the memories of many people. The carnival succeeds in defeating the X-Men despite a warning from Angel. They tie up the X-Men and leave them on the lawn. They then enter the X-Mansion to find the Professor and his technology. Xavier telepathically contactsMarvel Girland tells her to remove her blindfold using her telekinesis, then levitate a knife from a performer's tent to cut through her bonds, after which she frees the other members. Xavier is able to wipe everyone's minds after the carnival is stopped by a wall of ice, and the Blob goes back to the circus.[6]

Joining the Brotherhood

[edit]

The mutantMagnetosoon seeks out the Blob to recruit him into hisBrotherhood of Evil Mutants,restoring his memory through a jarring blow to the head. The Blob temporarily accepts the invitation, but leaves when it is revealed that Magneto has no real concern for the Blob's safety after he is hit by explosives which were launched at the X-Men. He goes back to the Circus.[7]He teams up withUnusdue to the alien Lucifer, who soon becomes his confidant. They disguise themselves as X-Men and commit crimes.[8]The Blob also serves as a member ofFactor Three.[9]He briefly works as an operative for theSecret Empire,where he fights theBeast.[10]With the reorganized Brotherhood, the Blob fightsProfessor Xand theDefenders.He is reverted to infancy byAlpha the Ultimate Mutant.[11]The Blob is later returned to adulthood, and fights theChampions of Los Angeles.[12]

He later winds up in prison, but is freed byMystiqueto recruit him into her incarnation of the Brotherhood.[13]He becomes part of the plot to assassinateSenator Kelly,the event which leads to the apocalyptic alternate future ofDays of Future Past.[14]He also battles theAvengersas a member of the Brotherhood.[15]With Unus, he battles theHulk.[16]With the Brotherhood, he battles the X-Men once more.[17]He witnesses the apparent death of Unus, then goes berserk and attacksSpider-Manand theBlack Cat.[18]

He remains with the Brotherhood, becoming a special operative of the federal government when the Brotherhood is reformed as the government-sponsoredFreedom Force.On the team's first mission, they help capture Magneto.[19]They then battle the X-Men in San Francisco.[20]Blob also participates in Freedom Force's capture of the Avengers for the federal government.[21]With Freedom Force, he attempts to captureRusty Collins,then battlesX-Factor.[22]With Freedom Force, he battles the X-Men in San Francisco,[23]and later assists in the attempt to arrest the X-Men in Dallas,[24]battling theNew Mutantsin Dallas as well.[25]He battles X-Factor again,[26]and underSpiral's orders, he andPyrobattleDaredevilin an attempt to capture a young mutant.[27]He again attempts to arrest Rusty Collins, fighting the New Mutants again.[28]He joinsAvalancheand Pyro in attacking Avengers headquarters.[29]With Freedom Force, he finally captures Rusty Collins and fellow New MutantSkids.He helps to captureCable,but is defeated by Cable and then bySunspotduring an attempt to recapture Cable.[30]With Freedom Force, he assists in thwarting a jailbreak from theVault.[31]

After Freedom Force's dissolution, the Blob participates in other versions of the Brotherhood, including one led byToadand another led by Professor X; the Blob takes over as leader of the latter when Xavier leaves.

The psychic entityOnslaughtlater recruits Blob, vastly upgrading his powers and abilities (in his powered-up state, his mutation becomes virtually identical to that ofPhat). During this time, the Blob fights the various members ofX-Forceand is soundly defeated in each encounter. Months later, a powered-down Dukes joins the new Brotherhood led once again by Mystique, alongside Toad,Sabretooth,and thedaughterof the originalMastermind.

WhenExodusrecreates the Brotherhood of Mutants, Blob offers to join but is quickly dismissed by Exodus, who considers him useless. This is a major blow to Dukes' already weak self-esteem, for which he seeks the counsel of therapistSean Garrison.After a session, Blob attacks the Xavier Institute, though he is defeated by the combined efforts of theNew Mutantsand theHellions.He is then arrested byS.H.I.E.L.D.

Post M-Day

[edit]

Due to theScarlet Witch's depowering of 90% of Earth's mutants, the Blob is one of thethousands to lose their power,though his epidermis does not shrink to compensate for his loss of mass, leaving him with huge folds of loose skin. The depressed Blob attempts to commitsuicide,but his skin folds prevent him from cutting through to any major blood vessels on his throat or wrists.

Someone that resembles the Blob is seen apprehended by theThunderboltsand is seen in the Folding Castle's Detention Quadrant.[32]

Blob later resurfaces as a member of X-Cell, a group of depowered mutants that blames the government for the loss of their powers, attackingMutant Townin defiance of theDecimation.After mistakenly getting into a fight withRictorandMultiple Manand getting in a cheap shot on Rictor, he stole a car. With fellow X-Cell memberFatale,he attempted to flee, eventually hitting an openmanhole(left open earlier in the day byStrong GuyandWolfsbane) and causing the car to crash leaving Blob hanging from the car. When both of them ran afoul ofMarrow,Blob was thrown from the car.

Through unknown means, Dukes loses the excess skin and his fortunes turn in his favor. Now known asFreddie Dukes,he has become a weight-loss guru in Japan, and is to star in an upcoming movie filmed in San Francisco made byKingo Sunen.He is also seen with Magneto and theHigh Evolutionary.[33]

In the miniseries "Magneto: Not a Hero",Josephis resurrected under unknown circumstances and forms a new Brotherhood of Mutants withAstraand mutated deformed versions of Blob,Mastermind,Quicksilver,Scarlet Witch,andToad.It is soon revealed that these actually are clones created by Joseph.[34]

InUncanny X-Men#16, Fred Dukes is working with Mystique in Genosha and is once again shown as heavily obese and appears to have his powers restored.[35]Mystique has supplied him with Mutant Growth Hormones (MGH) extracted fromDazzler.[volume & issue needed]

Blob was later seen onKrakoa.He andAnolebecome the co-owners and bartenders of the tiki bar called Green Lagoon.[36]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

The Blob'smutantphysiologygrants him a number of advantages. He had superhuman strength, endurance, and great resistance to physical injury. The Blob's elastic, blubbery skin is difficult to penetrate by gunfire, missiles, and evenWolverine's claws, though with sufficient force and a favorable angle, the claws can lacerate his flesh.[24]On one occasion, a concentrated optic blast fired byCyclopswas sufficient to puncture a hole through his shoulder, much to the shock of Dukes himself. The magic swords of bothBlack Raazerand theArabian Knightwere able to harm him.[volume & issue needed]

He could also alter his personal mono-directionalgravityfield beneath himself to make himself virtually immovable as long as he was in contact with the ground, although an incredible force can uproot him, along with a chunk of whatever he is standing on. The only beings on record to have been able to move the Blob against his wishes are theHulk,[16]Juggernaut,[citation needed]andStrong Guy(powered-up near his limit by absorbingkinetic energy),[37]althoughColossushas managed to lift Dukes by digging underground and raising the piece of earth Dukes stands on, stating this as an exception to his immovability.[20]Magneto once was able to move the Blob by lifting the ground under the Blob's feet via metal pipes.[38]Despite his appearance, the Blob's speed and agility are those of a fairly athletic male of normal stature, a fact which frequently catches his opponents by surprise.

The Blob's superhuman strength greatly increased over the years, in a manner similar to that of theThing.This improvement is said to be a result of his ongoing mutation.[volume & issue needed]

The Blob is vulnerable to attacks directed at his face, as his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears do not have the same protection as the rest of his body. Dukes is also susceptible to psionic attacks and psychic manipulation, and he can be incapacitated by sensory assaults; for example,Bansheewas able to render Blob unconscious solely through the use of his sonic scream. On another occasion,Sleepwalkerdefeated the Blob by using warp beams to wrap a steel girder around the villain, crushing his blubber and causing him great physical pain. The Hulk once took the opposite approach, harming the Blob by grabbing and stretching his flab. While he is all but invulnerable to direct kinetic attacks, such as punches, kicks or gunshots, he is susceptible toconcussionsand other harm resulting from sufficiently powerful impacts, asDaredevilknocked him out by luring him underneath a massive bell and then having it dropped on him with the aid of a young female mutant.[27]

Dukes can be incapacitated by drinking alcohol, although due to his immense mass, a large amount of alcohol is required.

Reception

[edit]
  • In 2018,CBR.comranked Blob 9th in their "Age Of Apocalypse: The 30 Strongest Characters In Marvel's Coolest Alternate World" list.[39]

Other versions

[edit]

Age of Apocalypse

[edit]

Blob appears briefly in theAge of Apocalypseas a test subject thatHenry McCoywas toying with in the Breeding Pens in a direct violation of the Kelly Pact thatApocalypsesigned to keep the Human High Council occupied and at bay while he rallied his forces.[40]

McCoy considered Blob's mutation useless which enraged Blob. Dukes freed himself, and attacked his experimenter.Havokcame to McCoy's rescue, but Dukes proved to be even too much for the Prelate to handle. His pseudo freedom was fleeting because moments later the head of the pens, Havok's older brotherCyclops,showed up to deliver a searing optic blast that would put him back in his place.[41]

When theAge of Apocalypsewas revisited in the10th anniversary,the Blob was a member ofSinister's team known asSinister Six.It appears that McCoy or Sinister himself had his powers altered in a manner that allowed Blob to project his gravitational field outward. When the Sinister Six met the X-Men in battle, Dukes' new powers were used to sweep the X-Men off their feet with theSilver Samuraireceiving a double dose.Quicksilverattempted to fell the behemoth with multiple punches, but Dukes remained standing regardless of how many hits he got in. It was not untilRoguestepped in with a punch that had the power necessary to overtake him that the mammoth would topple over. Following the Sinister Six's defeat, Blob managed to escape.[42]

Later he's seen as a member of the Black Legion, a group of psychotic altered mutants under the supervision of a now insaneWeapon X.[43]It is also revealed that he left the Age of Apocalypse timeline and joinedArchangel'squest to become the new heir ofApocalypse.He's seen in Akkaba Metropolis under the North Pole and he was the one to prevent the escape ofPsylocke.[44]

In the "Final Execution Saga" story line inUncanny X-Force,Fredrick is part of a newBrotherhood of Evil Mutantsled byDakenwith the aim of taking down X-Force and turning Evan Sabahnur into a newApocalypse.[45]During the saga the X-Force team is captured and tortured afterNightcrawlerfrom theAge of Apocalypseuniverse betrays the team,[46]to get his revenge on Fredrick due to him eating his wife Linda. Kurt seemingly succeeds in his goal of revenge by teleporting a livesharkinto Fredrick's stomach during a fight with him, causing him to be devoured from within.[47]

Age of X-Man

[edit]

In the alternate universe created byNate GreyinAge of X-Man,[48]Blob is the leader of the X-Tremists. This version of Fred Dukes is a dramatic departure from previous representations; he is "soft-hearted, bookish, kind and gentle".[49]Blob has romantic feelings for his teammateBetsy Braddock.According toX-Tremistswriter Leah Williams, "My hope in removing the villainy aspects of his character for X-tremists was to make people confront how they feel about fatness in general by utilizing an intriguing aspect of AoX: there is no bodily prejudice."[50]

Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows

[edit]

In the second volume ofAmazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows,Blob is seen as a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants.[51]

Cable & Deadpool

[edit]

Deadpool's search for Cableacross alternate timelines forces an encounter with the Blob of "an age of Apocalypse" (not to be confused with theX-Men story arc of the same name). In this reality, Blob has taken the mantle ofFamine,one of theHorsemen of Apocalypse.[52]

House of M

[edit]

Put in an internment camp afterBolivar Trask's rise to power in theHouse of Mreality, he was freed in Magneto's first major raid on US soil. After being freed, he first took his mutant name, "Blob" and was instrumental in the destruction of severalSentinels.He then joined Magneto's mutant group.[53]Blob is seen as a member of the Genoshan Black Ops version of theMarauders.It was later revealed that Dukes is also a member of an NYPD strike team called the Brotherhood.[54]

Ultimate Marvel

[edit]
Ultimate Blob andToadfightingCyclops

TheUltimate Universeversion of Blob, real nameFranklin Dukes,[59]is a member of theBrotherhood of Mutant Supremacy.His powers are similar to that of hisEarth-616counterpart, although he has been moved by a helicopter during theWeapon Xsaga, suggesting that he may be less powerful. He seems to eat constantly, and is often seen browsing the internet or chatting to people via instant messaging. One such incident sees the Blob pretend to be a female model/physicist named Naomi whocyber-seducestheX-ManBeast—leading to the discovery ofMagneto's survival and to theUltimate Warsaga. Unlike his Earth-616 counterpart, the Blob may very well have additional superhuman-eating powers as part of his mutation, as not only has he threatened to actually eat his enemies alive, but it was expressly stated that he had personally consumed all of theWeapon Xcomputers in a matter of moments when the Brotherhood invaded the Weapon X compound to rescue the X-Men.[60]InUltimatum,the Blob is seen eating theWasp,proving the cannibalistic claims are true.[61]However,Hank Pymgrows to a gigantic size and bites the Blob's head off in return.[62]

It was revealed that Blob wasLiz Allan's estranged genetic father after she discoveredher own mutant abilities.He had impregnated Liz's mother while working for a circus sideshow.[63]It was also shown that the Blob fathered a son (Theodore "Tubby Teddy" Allan) by an unknown woman. Teddy is in high school and has his father's same bulky appearance and similar abilities, as he was shot at point blank range and merely said "It tickles".[64]He later joinsQuicksilver's new Brotherhood as the new iteration of Blob.[65]
