The image also gives us a new look at Ben Hardy’s Archangel, who was seemingly engaging in a martial arts cage match with this overweight mutant.

The director’s caption on his photo reads, “Mutant Martial Arts. Light as a feather,” while the photo shows The Blob knocked out cold in the middle of this cage. It isn’t known who is actually playing The Blob, a.k.a. Fred Dukes, who, in the comics, was an obese circus freak who has superhuman strength and claims to be “immovable” when he so desires.
