* ''[[X-Men]]'':
** [[X-Men|The Blob]], member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. His weight and physical appearance are played up for horror and squick whenever he shows interest in a woman. In a bit of a subversion, his weight comes not from overeating but his mutation. When he was depowered, he ended up as his true weight - which was incredibly thin. After plastic surgery to remove his excess skin, he ended up being a pastiche of Jared from the Subway commercials. In the animated series and depending on the writer, he's still a greedy, slovenly, unhygienic pig, though.
** Dialed [[Up to Eleven]] with the [[Ultimate Universe]] version of the Blob, to the point where he once paused during an attack on the <s>Avengers</s> Ultimates' mansion to raid the fridge. Less funny was the time he was discovered [[I'm a Humanitarian|eating]] the Wasp's corpse.
** Also from X-Men is the alien Mojo, a sort of fat evil television executive.
** When Shadow King possessed Karma for several months in ''New Mutants'', she became ludicrously bloated through Farouk's gluttony. She got better, thanks to the Desert Starvation Diet.
*** Amahl Farouk's original body was also obese. One version of the Shadow King's origin states that he not truly Farouk, but an ancient demon and Farouk was simply another victim of his body theft. Whichever is true, it seems uncontrolled weight gain is a side effect of this villain's [[Demonic Possession]].
* Shape from [[Supreme Power]], who is also a [[Rubber Man]].
* The writers of [[Marvel Universe]] never seem to be able to decide just what the deal is with the Kingpin. He's an incredibly huge person, but depending on the writer this is because his muscles are so huge they make him look fat or that he's a greedy slob with no sense of control. Some split the difference and write that he's got incredibly powerful arm and leg muscles but is fat everywhere else because of overeating--[[Fridge Logic|ignoring the more medically likely explanation that, like sumo wrestlers, he is well-muscled everywhere, but eats enough to maintain a significant layer of padding on top of it]].
