History
Beacher was the step-brother of the criminal Slyde. Matthew was once kidnapped by the Maggia and held for ransom. Slyde, with help from Luke Cage, was able to free Matthew.[3]
Matthew was later killed and resurrected by the Hand and forced to become one of its members. He also wore a costume like the one his brother used. During an assault against a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Slyde fought Wolverine along with several other villains. Wolverine eventually killed him.[4]Attributes
Powers
None.
Paraphernalia
Equipment
- Slippery Costume: Slyde's costume was covered with an experimental substance that eliminated friction between it and other surfaces. Most adhesives (including Spider-Man's webbing) would not stick to him, and it was virtually impossible to grasp him barehanded.
Weapons
Slyde did not use any conventional weapons, though he was known to bluff enemies by using toy weapons.
Transportation
- Skating: Slyde could skate along the ground using his frictionless shoes, obtaining speeds of up to 30 mph. He could also change directions instantly by simply shifting his weight or grabbing ahold of a stationary object and twisting his body around it.
