Jalome Beacher was a chemical engineer who invented a frictionless substance that could be applied to anything. When his employers later gave him the boot and he couldn’t get a bank loan to start his own business, he sprayed a form-fitting bodysuit with his super-Teflon coating and used it to take what he figured he was owed. The chemicals on Slyde’s suit allowed him to glide along smooth surfaces at nearly 30 miles per hour, and he was almost impossible to grasp; not even Spidey’s webbing could stick to him, if I can trust my sources. I suppose I could go on about Beacher’s short-sightedness w/r/t an untapped fetish market just aching for his brand of expertise, but I’m too distracted by thoughts of how this super-slippy suit of his is supposed to help him dodge A GODDAMN BULLET when one is fired at him from the gun of a security guard, a police officer, a survivalist grandmother or… well, just about anyone these days.
