Glob Herman (Herman) is a fictional mutant character of the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in New X-Men #117. Glob was created by Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver.
[edit] History
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 Kid Omega, one of Professor X’s top students.
Glob Herman enrolled into the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning after Professor X was publicly revealed to be a mutant. Now Glob Herman has joined the Omega Gang, led by Kid Omega, as they make their own stand for mutant rights. With the Omega Gang, Herman attacked the humans whom they thought had murdered Jumbo Carnation, and later participated in the slaughter of a group of U-Men. When the Omega Gang instigated a riot at the Xavier Institute, Herman had Redneck light him on fire as he ran after a bus, filled with human civilians. Herman's plan was put to a halt by Beast, Cyclops and Xorn, who covered him in cement to put out the flames. He is one of the few mutants who retained their superhuman powers after M-Day.
[edit] Powers
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.
[edit] Other media
Glob Herman appears briefly in X-Men: The Last Stand. He can be seen during the church meeting scene as a tall translucent man in the back. He later appears during the raid at Alcatraz, where guards fire darts of cure serum at the mutants. He is the first one to be seen losing his mutant appearance and turning back into a normal human.
