History: Fred Dukes had been born into the circus lifestyle. His parents had been trapeze performers, and had expected him to follow in their footsteps. Fate, and genetics, had other ideas.
Even in early adolescence, Fred’s great bulk had been apparent. At first, doctors attributed his bulk to a glandular condition, but later tests revealed that Fred was a mutant. While he longed to fly without a care over the heads of the audience like his parents and siblings, he found himself grounded. In his early teens, he discovered that, as long as he stood still, even a team of elephants could not move him so long as he willed it. Soon he was being billed as "Inigo The Immovable", faking a Spanish accent as part of the act.
Hard times struck the circus, and Inigo the Immovable found himself out of work. He soon found employment, such as it was, in another circus, one formed with the intention of robbing its audience: the Circus of Crime. Now simply calling himself the Blob, he ultimately found himself in combat against Spider-Man and the X-Men, who had been in the audience when the circus performed in New York City’s Central Park.
The Blob soon quit the Circus of Crime, believing that they were thinking too small in their scheme, and struck up a friendship with Unus the Untouchable, another mutant criminal with a grudge against the X-Men. The two briefly impersonated the X-Men, wearing uniforms similar those those of the Beast and Cyclops, before being defeated and sent to prison. It was not long before the two broke out of prison to join up with Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants. He was later seen with the Brotherhood during their brief sojourn in the Savage Land.
Age: 27.
Height: 5' 10".
Weight: 510 lbs.
Eyes: Brown.
Hair: Brown.
Uniform: Black shirt, black shorts, black arm-bands, black boots, all with yellow trim.
Strength Level: The Blob possesses superhuman strength enabling him to lift (press) around 10 tons.
Known Superhuman Powers: In addition to his tremendous strength, most of the Blob's powers are related to his incredible bulk. His skin is incredibly thick, giving him a measure of resistance to physical attacks. The many rolls of fat are thick enough to absorb the energy of rifle rounds, cannon balls, and even man-portable rocket shells without injury. His face is not as protected as the rest of him (mainly due to the lack of protective fat tissue in that area). The Blob's skin is highly resistant to being punctured, lacerated, frostbitten, or ravaged by any skin disease; it is somewhat less resistant to burning.
In addition to this, the Blob possesses the ability to increase the gravitational attraction between him and the earth beneath him (up to about 10 feet), rendering him effectively immovable.
Other Abilities: The Blob is more agile than his great bulk implies. He has had training in the Japanese art of sumo, although he has never competed professionally.
