Frederick Dukes or The Blob is a mutant. His mutant characteristic is being very fat with a rubbery skin. He can use this to make himself unmoveable, to absorb punches, and to bounce bullets away.
His name is briefly seen on a list of William Stryker's mutants in X2: X-Men United. His character was also considered for inclusion in X-Men but did not make it past the concept art which is a hidden easter egg on the original DVD release of that movie.

Biography
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Fred Dukes was once part of Team X, composed of him, James Howlett, Victor Creed, William Stryker, David North, Chris Bradley, John Wraith and Wade Wilson. After the team disbands, according to Wraith, the once-muscular and formidable soldier developed an eating disorder and easily became obese, and Wraith is currently training him to be a boxer. Wraith warns Logan not to make fun of his weight. However, when Logan is demanding the location of Victor Creed, he calls him, "Bub." Dukes, however, mishears and thinks that he called him "blob" and starts fighting with him. At first Dukes gains the upper hand, but is knocked out by headbutting Logan, whose skeleton had recently been reinforced with adamantium. Dukes reveals that Creed and Stryker are working together, capturing mutants and experimenting on them, having allegedly learned the information from Agent Zero. Dukes does not know the location of Stryker's base, but says that there is an escaped mutant named Remy LeBeau who would.
