Slyde

Imagine a villain whose entire theme is that he’s “a bit slippery”, making it impossible for anyone to grab a hold of him. Silly huh? Now stop imagining because, rather crazily, he really exists in the form of Slyde!

Slyde is Jalome Beacher – a chemical engineer who successfully created a completely non-stick substance that could be applied to anything to make it fiction-free. He was sacked by his employer and turned to crime to make ends meet. He created a costume and coated it in the non-stick substance to carry out his crimes.

Spider-Man caught him in the act, but the Webbed Wonder couldn’t apprehend him. Trying to get a hold of him was pointless, while punches and webbing just slid off him harmlessly – and he went on to be a recurring foe for the superhero.

The suit also allows him to travel up to 30 miles per hour, but it’s just silly. So please, Marvel, please spare us from hearing the inevitable “slippery customer” quips by Spidey and don’t use Slyde in a movie!
