Butterball, also known as Emery Schaub, is a fictional character appearing in Marvel Comics. He is a mutant with the ability of near invulnerability, rendering him virtually impervious to physical harm.

Emery's mutation manifested later in life, during his teenage years, after exposure to an experimental device designed to activate latent mutant genes. Unlike typical mutant heroes, he possesses no offensive powers, only extreme durability and resistance to pain. This grants him resilience but also makes him somewhat immobile and lacking in combat skills.

Butterball's lack of traditional superpowers and awkward personality often place him in comedic situations. He has been associated with various groups, including the Initiative program, specifically assigned to the Reno, Nevada, team. His inclusion highlights the diversity of mutant abilities and the varying effectiveness of individuals within the superhero community.
