The young mutant called Glob Herman has skin that is completely transparent and made up of bio-paraffin, or "living wax". Though he lives among other mutants, Glob Herman easily stands out. Herman is known to be friends with Kid Omega, one of Professor X’s top students.
Glob Herman enrolled into the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning after Professor X was publicly revealed to be a mutant. Now Glob Herman has joined the Omega Gang, led by Kid Omega, as they make their own stand for mutant rights. With the Omega Gang, Herman attacked the humans whom they thought had murdered Jumbo Carnation, and later participated in the slaughter of a group of U-Men. When the Omega Gang instigated a riot at the Xavier Institute, Herman had Redneck light him on fire as he ran after a bus, filled with human civilians. Herman's plan was put to a halt by Beast, Cyclops and Xorn, who covered him in cement to put out the flames.
For his crimes, the X-Men sentenced him and the rest of the Omega team to fulfill various humanitarian works and aid those in need after serving a small sentence in human prisons. After M-Day, Herman was the only one outside of Quire himself to not lose his X-gene, after finishing his humanitarian work, he returned to the X-mansion, now located in San Fransisco and took part in the move to Utopia with the rest of the X-Men.
Glob Herman's body is made up of a bio-parrafin (living wax). This wax is highly flammable, allowing him to light himself on fire. He can also fling bits of himself. His body also gives him superhuman strength, durability, and speed.
