Blob lost his powers on M-Day as shown in House of M: Decimation -- The Day After #1. He slimmed down considerably and became a weightloss spokesman in Japan in Uncanny X-Men (1st series) #500. However, by Uncanny X-Men (3rd series) #16, he began using MGH to restore his original powers and girth. After several subsequent appearances in All-New X-Men (2nd series) #4-6 and X-Men: Blue where he was exposed to Mothervine, Blob seems to have permanently regained his mutant powers.
