<B>Real Name:</B> Fred J. Dukes
<B>Group Affiliation:</B> X-Corps (Former) Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Factor Three, Freedom Force
<B>Height:</B> 8'0"
<B>Weight:</B> 976 lbs.
<B>Eyes:</B> Brown
<B>Hair:</B> Brown
<B>Powers:</B> The Blob has powers relating to the mass, strength, resilience and indestructibility of his obese body. His primary ability is to become virtually immovable as long as he is in contact with the ground by bonding himself to the earth beneath him by creating a monodirectional field of increased gravity that extends about five feet in radius.
In our reality, Fred Dukes was known as the Blob, a performer in a carnival recruited by Magneto for his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants for an attack on the X-Men. In the midst of battle Magneto launched a powerful torpedo at the X-Men, not caring that the Blob was in the way. Though the torpedoes that struck the Blob but did not seriously injure him, he felt betrayed 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 a long and close friendship that ended untimely with Unus's death. In the future, he would be recruited for subsequent incarnations of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants led by Mystique and Toad.
