Remember how the Age of X-Man – specifically Leah Williams and Georges Jeanty’s X-Tremists – gave us Hot Blob, a leather-daddy sex cop with a handlebar mustache who develops a relationship with Betsy Braddock?
And remember how Blob kept that mustache when he ran the Green Lagoon on Krakoa, up until the Fall of X when he started carrying the idiot ball again and joined Captain Krakoa’s (aka Evil Captain America from Secret Empire 2017) Mutant Liberation Front alongside the Fenris twins and Wildside?
Well, check out the crumb-catcher on Skippingstone, the Final Brotherhood member antagonizing Lucas and Shard in this preview of Marvel’s Bishop #3. A genetic chimera of Blob and Toad (with the facial hair of Mastermind’s Jason Wyngarde illusion for some reason), this muscular man mountain is giving us Hot Blob like we haven’t had since 2019, even with those ridiculous frills that make him look like he’s about to spit acid at Wayne Knight.
Maybe now that Fred Dukes is out of Graymalkin Prison (we think?), he can grow that sucker back, put on a floral-print shirt and become a productive member of mutant society again. Heck, the Factory could probably use a bartender.
Check out our exclusive preview of Bishop #3, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
