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]
Slyde is part of Crimson Cowl's incarnation of the Masters of Evil, who battle the Thunderbolts.[4]
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.[5]
While Slyde is in prison, his stepbrother Matthew assumes the mantle before being killed by Elektra.[6]
In "Civil War", Slyde is killed by Hammerhead's enforcer Underworld after refusing to join his gang.[7]
During the "Avengers: Standoff!" storyline, Slyde appears alive as a resident of Pleasant Hill, a gated community established by S.H.I.E.L.D.[8]
