History

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

“	Did you just called me... Blob?	„
	~ Blob to Logan.

In the movie, during the Vietnam War in mid-late 1973, Fred Dukes was a member of Team X under Major William Stryker's command. Fred demonstrated his strength by blowing up a tank simply by plugging his fist inside the tank's chamber, causing its blast to backfire.

Six years after Wolverine left the team, Dukes developed an eating disorder, and in the process gained a few hundred pounds. In order to find Stryker, Wolverine had to fight Fred in a boxing match.

It seemed that Fred was about to win until Wolverine smashed his hand onto Fred head, knocking him out. When Fred regain consciousness, he told Wolverine that a mutant name Gambit recently escape, and that he can take Wolverine to the Island. However, Sabretooth revealed that he just killed Dukes afterwards for revealing the information to Wolverine, much to the latter's horror and disgust.
