Thiomargarita means “sulphur pearl” and this bacteria is a gram-negative little beasty found in the oceans. The size gives him supernatural strength, the ability to be ‘immovable’ (although you could probably shift him with a few tanks if it came to it) and occasionally he has his very own gravitational field. Like many of the X-men, the Blob has gone through several incarnations of character but the one main continuous feature is that he’s big.

As I’ve been finding blogging hard to get into recently, this should kick-start me back into it by letting me write about comics as well as science. This idea for a post has been kicking around in my head for a while now.
