His first appearance was in ''New X-Men #117''. Glob was created by [[Grant Morrison]] and [[Ethan Van Sciver]]. ==Fictional character biography== ===Early Life=== The young mutant called Glob Herman has skin that is completely transparent and made up of bio-paraffin, or "living wax". Though he lives among other mutants, Glob Herman easily stands out. Herman is known to be friends with [[Quentin Quire|Kid Omega]], one of Professor X’s top students. ===Omega Gang=== Glob Herman enrolled into the [[X-Mansion|Xavier Institute]] for Higher Learning after [[Professor X]] was publicly revealed to be a mutant. Herman joins the [[Omega Gang]], led by Kid Omega, as they make their own stand for mutant rights. With the Omega Gang, Herman attacks the humans whom they thought had murdered [[Jumbo Carnation]]. He later participates in the slaughter of a group of [[U-Men (comics)|U-Men]]. When the Omega Gang instigate a riot at the Xavier Institute, Herman has [[Redneck (comics)|Redneck]] light him on fire. He then pursues a bus full of human civillans, chasing it at full speed down the highway. [[Cyclops (comics)|Cyclops]], [[Xorn]] and [[Beast (comics)|Beast]] pursue. Beast saves the lives of two men in a sports car who cross Herman's way, which he turns into scrap metal without slowing down. When the chase nears a gas station with a cement mixer, the X-Men manage to surround Herman. They use the mixer to cover him with cement and the Beast uses water bottles from the station himself to put out Herman's fire. At that point, much of Herman's covering of bio-paraffin has burned away, and he is reduced to a skeleton with only a relative thin layer of wax. Later, Herman is seen, still covered in cement, being ferried back to the X-Mansion on a specialized truck<ref>''New X-Men'' Vol.2, #138: "The Prime of Miss Emma Frost" (May 2003)</ref>. ===Post M-Day=== He is one of the few mutants who retain their superhuman powers after [[Decimation (comics)|M-Day]]. ==Powers and abilities== He has his skeleton and internal organs floating in bio-paraffin, a form of flammable living wax that increases his strength, speed, and resilience, and can be flicked off his body in small portions. ==In other media== Glob Herman appears briefly in [[X-Men: The Last Stand]]. He made a cameo during the attack on [[Alcatraz]], getting shot by a cure dart and changing from his glob form to a normal person. == Notes and references == {{reflist}} [[Category:Marvel Comics supervillains]] [[Category:Fictional criminals]] [[Category:Marvel Comics mutants]] [[Category:Marvel Comics characters with superhuman strength]] [[Category:Marvel Comics characters who can move at superhuman speeds]] [[hu:Glob Herman]]
