The Super-Heroes #5
In "The Power and the Prize!", Professor X sends the X-Men to investigate a newly detected mutant, leading them to a traveling carnival where they meet the formidable Blob—whose immovable, bouncy form makes him a spectacle and a challenge. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, inks by Paul Reinman, and letters by Art Simek, this 1975 Marvel UK issue captures the team’s uneasy encounter with a reluctant ally. The cover, by John Buscema and Joe Sinnott, perfectly captures the carnival’s odd spectacle.
In "Beware of the Blob!", the X-Men are sent by Professor X to investigate a mysterious new mutant, leading them to a dusty carnival where they meet the Blob—a towering, immovable sideshow act with a body that defies bullets and gravity. Though they offer him a place at the mansion, the Blob refuses, forcing the team to confront the risk he poses when he learns their secret.
