Slyde first appeared inThe Amazing Spider-Man #272 and was created by writerTom DeFalco and artistSal Buscema.[1][2]
Jalome Beacher is achemical engineer who creates anon-stick coating that can be applied to anything, only to be fired by his employers. He creates a costume coated in the substance and decided to use it to rob banks. His suit allows him to slide across floors with relative ease, and renders him impervious toSpider-Man's webbing. The suit has pads on the gloves so that Slyde can grip objects without them slipping from his grasp.[3][2]
Slyde appears as part of the seventh incarnation of theMasters of Evil, founded by theCrimson Cowl. He joins the group in battling theThunderbolts.[4]
Upon the realization that he is turning forty soon, Slyde dons a new costume and attempts to rob a bank in a ploy to lure Spider-Man out in order to fight him. After being defeated and brought to jail, Slyde muses that, knowing that he "went toe to toe with Spider-Man", he is entirely all right with middle age.[5]
InWolverine, Slyde is apparently killed byElektra.[6] He is later revealed to be Jalome's stepbrother Matthew, who assumed the costume and identity of Slyde while he was in prison.
Jalome, as Slyde again, along with theTrapster, meets with mob bossHammerhead, who was attempting to organize a group of super-criminals to take advantage of theCivil War between superheroes. However, Slyde balks at the proposal. He is shot in the head and killed by Hammerhead's enforcer Underworld to send a message to those who would refuse to join Hammerhead's organization.[7]
During the "Avengers: Standoff!" storyline, Slyde appears alive as a resident of Pleasant Hill, a gated community established byS.H.I.E.L.D.[8]
The chemicals on the suite that Slyde wears allow him to move at nearly 30 miles per hour (48 km/h), making him very agile and difficult to attack. He is also a skilled chemist.
Slyde appears in theSpider-Man episode "The Road to Goblin War", voiced byPhil LaMarr.[12] This version is a former worker at the Beemont Chemical Corporation who was fired by CEO Alan Beemont and became Slyde to get revenge and cause chaos. Additionally, he received his technology from Joseph Rockwell, Beemont's assistant and a member of theGoblin Nation.
Slyde is a former chemical engineer who developed a substance that eliminates friction, which enables him to literally slide past most of his opponents. Since his first appearance in Tom Defalco, Sal Buscema, Ron Franz and Kyle Baker's Amazing Spider-Man 272 in 1986, he has been slippery enough to evade capture and rob the occasional bank, but he's failed to make much of a mark on the Marvel Universe.
