Publication history

Slyde first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #272 and was created by writer Tom DeFalco and artist Sal Buscema. [1] [2]

Fictional character biography

Jalome Beacher is a chemical engineer who creates a non-stick coating that can be applied to anything, only to be fired by his employers. He creates a costume coated in the substance that enables him to slide across floors with ease and grip objects without them slipping from his grasp. [2] [3] [4]

Slyde is part of Crimson Cowl's incarnation of the Masters of Evil, who battle the Thunderbolts. [5]

Upon the realization that he was turning forty soon, he got a new costume, gave himself a new origin, and made an attempt at robbing a bank with henchmen—but it was all a ploy to lure Spider-Man out in order to fight him. At the end of the story, on the way to jail, he mused that, knowing that he "went toe to toe with Spider-Man", he is entirely all right with middle age. [6]

While Slyde is in prison, his stepbrother Matthew assumes the mantle before being killed by Elektra. [7] [8]

In Civil War , Slyde is killed by Hammerhead's enforcer Underworld after refusing to join his gang. [9]

Slyde later appears alive as a resident of Pleasant Hill, a gated community established by S.H.I.E.L.D. [10]
