(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "A Rogue's Tale" (fb) ) - For years, the Brotherhood helped Mystique train Rogue, helping her learn how to use her abilities and steal people's memories. Unbeknownst to Rogue, the Brotherhood was really training her to permanently deal with Mystique's arch-nemesis Ms. Marvel. Then the day arrived when Blob and the Brotherhood broke into an airplane hangar, soon attracting the attention of Ms. Marvel who easily dealt with Blob and the Brotherhood after which she went after Rogue. Forced by Mystique, Rogue used her powers on Ms. Marvel long enough to permanently steal her powers and render the hero comatose. Curious to find out who Ms. Marvel really was Blob watched as Pyro unmasked the hero, although none of them recognized her.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "A Rogue's Tale" (fb) ) - In the weeks that followed, Pyro and the others learned that Rogue didn't only acquire Ms. Marvel's super strength and ability to fly but also had Danvers' mind trapped inside her causing her unrivaled pain. In the end Rogue fled the Brotherhood and found Charles Xavier who helped her trap Danvers' soul inside her mind.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Slave Island" - BTS) - Along with many other mutants, Blob was apprehended and imprisoned on Genosha. Outfitted with power-dampening collars to prevent them from using their mutant abilities the imprisoned mutants were made to work as slave-workers to complete a dam which would power a Sentinel factory.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Slave Island") - Blob, Caliban, Feral and other slave-workers were in for a shock when three of the X-Men: Storm, Gambit and Jubilee were also imprisoned and forced to work alongside them. However, when the Magistrates deactivated the collars Storm immediately tried to escape and was quickly rendered immobile by a Sentinel and placed in the "box" (isolation). Not long after, the slave-workers once again stopped work when the Magistrates noticed a fire in the nearby forest (courtesy of time traveler Cable), to be safe all slave-workers were returned to their cells.

   That night, the slave-workers were woken by the optimistic Jubilee, who escaped her cell and urged the mutants to join an uprising. Blob and the others refused, believing they would be released when the work on the dam was finished. However, the following morning morale had shifted as the mutants told Jubilee they would join the uprising. Sadly Jubilee's uprising failed when she proved unable to deactivate the power-dampening collars.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Slave Island" - BTS) - The following day, Gambit acquired the power-dampening collar's key, freed his friends and together agreed to free the slave-workers.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Slave Island") - Blob, Rictor, Aurora and many other slave-workers were shocked when the X-Men returned, successfully deactivating the power-dampening collars. Freed, Blob and the others joined the X-Men in their fight against the Magistrates and Sentinels. Having defeated them, Jubilee urged the former slaves to help them deal with the Sentinel factory. Sunfire, speaking for the former slaves refused reminding her of their last failed uprising and explained they would take over Genosha as a whole after which they left. To deal with the Sentinel factory, Storm then summoned a powerful storm causing the dam to collapse and destroy the factory.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Days of Future Past - Part II" (fb) - BTS) - Acting on Apocalypse's orders the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants gathered near Capitol Hill, Washington in preparation to assassinate Senator Robert Kelly during a senate hearing.

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "Days of Future Past - Part II") - Learning the X-Men were present during the senate hearing, Blob, Pyro and Avalanche were sent to create a diversion so Mystique could kill Kelly. To do so, Blob, Pyro and Avalanche mingled amongst the human protesters who'd gathered on Capitol Hill after which Pyro and Avalanche attacked the senate. Their plan worked as Blob and the others were immediately attacked by the X-Men. Blob used his shear size to attack Cyclops and Rogue but was defeated by Wolverine and Storm's teamwork. The assassination attempt, however, was foiled by Rogue, Gambit and the time-traveling Bishop of Earth-31393 (trying to prevent his horrible future from happening).

(X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon - "A Rogue's Tale") - In an attempt to help Mystique recruit Rogue into the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Blob, Pyro and Avalanche gathered at a carnival, wreaking havoc to catch the attention of the X-Men. During the fight Mystique used her shapeshifting abilities to turn into Carol Danvers to reawaken the unresolved trauma in Rogue as she had stolen Danvers' powers for herself years past. While the X-Men took care of Rogue, the Brotherhood fled. Later that night Mystique, posing as Danvers, led Rogue to Midtown Hospital where the real Carol Danvers had spent the last years comatose. Following Rogue, Storm also arrived at Midtown Hospital but was rendered unconscious by Mystique and Blob.

   The following morning the X-Men arrived only to be opposed by Blob, Pyro and Avalanche who were then easily defeated by the reawakened Storm. In the end Mystique proved unable to convince Rogue to return after which Jean Grey helped Rogue deal with Danvers' trapped soul in her mind.

(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "To Me, My X-Men" - BTS) - When the X-Men faced a large group of Sentinels while searching for Bolivar Trask, Morph used their shapeshifting abilities to turn into the Blob to allow Wolverine to jump on his belly and successfully destroy the Master Mold.

(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Motendo" - BTS) - When X-Man Jubilee and newcomer Sunspot were abducted by the interdimensional Mojo they found themselves in a video game with levels based off of Jubilee's memories. In one of those levels, Jubilee and Sunspot witnessed enslaved mutants such as Blob, Domino, Sunfire and Warpath constructing the Genoshan dam.

(X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon - "Bright Eyes") - After the techno-organic Sentinel hybrid Bastion devastated the mutant nation of Genosha by attacking it with a monstrous Mastermold, Blob, Barbarus, Strong Guy and many others joined a large-scale rescue operation. While relief efforts were underway and the search for survivors continued, Blob was seen carrying a large steel beam when the X-Men arrived on Genosha to join the rescue effort. Blob was presumably in the area when Jean Grey and Cyclops pulled the White Queen (Emma Frost) from the rubble.

Comments: Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby;

Blob was voiced by Robert Cat.

The Sentinel used in the attack on Genosha is generally referred to as either the Tri-Sentinel or a Wild Sentinel, however, the end credits of "Remember It" used Mastermold for it's name.

When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
