Glob Possessed by Shadow King, Sublime or Future Self, Slays Z.E.R.O. Agents in X-Men Comics Glob, the X-Men's wax-skinned caretaker, may be possessed by a dangerous entity after slaughtering Z.E.R.O. agents, with Shadow King, Sublime and a future Glob as candidates. Glob, the pink, translucent wax-skinned mutant and longtime X-Men caretaker, could be emerging as the team's next major threat after slaughtering several Z.E.R.O. agents who intended to kill him with zero effort, according to recent developments in the X-Men comics. Robert Herman was born with bio-paraffin skin, a living wax that is bright pink and see-through, and was previously best known for his terrorist high-schooler past rather than frontline combat. Glob can awaken from his coma whenever he wishes, but it is apparently not him at the steering wheel. Odds are that Glob has been possessed, and three very dangerous opponents are considered likely candidates, all of whom could bring the X-Men to their knees. Two of them already have: the monstrous Shadow King, Sublime, and even the Age of Revelation version of Glob himself.Despite being one of the strongest superhero teams around, capable of handling planetary threats like Professor X and Jean Grey, the X-Men have largely overlooked Glob, given how far he has come from his militant youth. Aside from being more flame-retardant than the average person, he does not exactly have any special powers that would make him uniquely qualified for fighting alongside the X-Men, which is exactly why he is usually on the back lines or taking care of their home base. That may now be changing.Every one of the aforementioned characters could be possessing Glob. The first two have a well-known history of doing exactly that, while the third could have easily hitched a ride to the past in the same manner as the future versions of Cyclops and Beast. Let us quickly discuss future Glob first, as, while possible, he is considered the least likely candidate.This could be the Age of Revelation Glob sent back in time just as his compatriots were, but given how he specified that he had not seen a human in years, and given how everyone in that reality died, it seems unlikely he would have had the time for this switch. A major part of DNX involves the Chairman shouting that unleashing the Mutant Virus like this would change the future, so it is also possible that he is from a new future, but the comic will likely want to keep moving forward instead of focusing on just the one plot beat.Shadow King is a powerful psychic entity with the desire to corrupt and destroy everything from the inside out, with a particular hatred of the X-Men. Professor X has typically been the only telepath capable of standing up to him, and with him off-world, this would make it a prime target. This could also tie into Jean Grey's return to Earth, as with the Professor gone, she would be their only hope against him.Of course, the way Glob spoke implied that he was coming from somewhere far away, and the Shadow King is, potentially, the villain of the current arc in X-Men United. If he is responsible for that, it would lower the chances of it being him astronomically.The third most likely candidate would be someone like Sublime. This sentient bacteria has had it out for mutantkind for millennia. Although he has the restriction of not being able to possess mutants, he might have found a way to use the injured Blob as a template for evolution. He has even infected Glob before with Kick, which could poise him as a unique candidate for possession.A whole new category of mutants has been created in the pages of DNX, and we know that O.N.E. will be declaring open season on the X-Men. This is the prime moment for Sublime to strike. His ultimate goal is to destroy all other life on Earth, and fostering this conflict would be the best way to do that.No one would ever suspect Glob of being dangerous, as even though he is well-known for kicking into gear and being willing to commit carnage when he feels that he has to, he is also a non-combatant vegetarian who has worked hard to make the people of his Alaskan home trust him. He is the X-Men's chef and caretaker, making their base into a home while the rest of them are out saving the world.He is certainly not someone capable of taking out trained soldiers with that ferocity or ease, especially considering he was heavily injured. Whoever is in control of him now has the chance to strike the X-Men in a way that they will never see coming, especially if they can augment his strength in some way.Of course, the real danger of this scenario, whether it be one of the three highlighted or even another party like the demonic Belasco, is if this entity can jump into other hosts. Blob was obviously chosen for a reason, which probably relates to the fact that he was in a coma, but if they use Blob to generate strength and corrupt the others, then the X-Men would be torn apart from the inside out.Again, we should be thankful that Jean Grey is making her return after the end of the DNX saga, as she will be pivotal in ferreting out interlopers with her psychic powers.
