Glob Herman
Few characters make a first impression quite like Glob Herman, who shambled onto the scene in Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver's landmark New X-Men #117 in 2001 — one of the Modern Age's most daring reinventions of Marvel's mutant mythology. With 63 catalog appearances across a quarter century and four key-issue credits to his name, this distinctive figure has proven far more than a one-off curiosity. His corner of the Marvel Universe is rich company indeed, sharing pages with the likes of Wolverine, Beast, and Storm across titles including Wolverine & the X-Men, X-Men, and Extraordinary X-Men. Glob Herman is the kind of character that reminds you why the X-books have always been a home for the genuinely different — unforgettable from the moment you first see him, and still turning up decades later to prove it.
