Spotlight on... GLOB HERMAN!

[Douglas Mangum]

Glob Herman has always been a visual character. Created during Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men, Glob showed up in crowd shots for a year as an unnamed, non-speaking cameo to demonstrate how the new students at Xavier's were obviously mutants. Glob was eventually characterized as a dim kid who was easily led by the charismatic Kid Omega, and remained a trouble maker over the years. More recently, however, Glob has become a symbol for deeper narratives about abuse and body positivity.

It still boggles my mind that of all the student characters, Glob was the one that kept getting the spotlight. Maybe he was a popular character for artists to draw and that had something to do with it?

Regardless, thanks for the spotlight. Certainly a character that has seen some interesting growth.
