The Glob

History: A giant, stone statue was stored in a Transylvanian castle. An American painter was hired to paint the statue with an unusual, thick, oozing “paint”. Later, the “paint” animated the statue and allowed it to speak. The ooze-covered statue went on a rampage in a nearby village. Eventually, the American painter defeated “The Glob” by pouring a can of turpentine on it, diluting the odd “paint” and making the statue immobile once more.

Height: 30 ft.
Demonstrated Powers: The Glob posessed great strength and was able to smash through stone walls. The Glob's major weakness was that it needed the strange “paint” to adhere to the statue in order to remain mobile. It is possible that the “paint” itself was some type of protoplasmic lifeform and needed to “wear” the statue to be mobile.

Comment: The name change from “The Glob” to “The Glop” in the reprint was to avoid confusion with The Glob , a character introduced in The Incredible Hulk # 121 (no connection with the original).

Comment: The Glob should not be confused with the volcano creature Glob, who was just a comic book character and therefore not “real”.

Comment: It is unknown if there is any connection between the Glob's “paint”, the paint used to create Zzutak (Strange Tales # 88), or the paint used by The Painter of a Thousand Perils (the Human Torch villain from Strange Tales # 108).
