Sluk (Byron Spencer) is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe, a member of the second team of X-Force. The character called Sluk was created by Peter Milligan (writer) and Mike Allred (artist). He first appeared in X-Force vol. 1 #116.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Sluk was present in a mission with X-Force in North Africa, where the team was battling a coup attempt by Qat-addled tribsemen. He attempts to ambush a soldier with his "creepy face things". The soldier caught him off guard and swung his mine detector, hitting a flaming tank, causing it to explode. He and the soldier are both killed.[1]
Later, a statue of Sluk was seen in the X-Force building's gift shop/cafe. A tour guide details how that for twenty dollars, Sluk's facial tentacles will activate, releasing a "pleasantly mild electronic pulse". Furthermore, fifty percent of all profits will go to Sluk's favorite charities.[2]
Zeitgeist, in particular, did not care for his less than human looks. This is revealed in the battletapes, taken by Doop, that he ostensibly reviews for "tactics".[1]
[edit] Powers and abilities
Sluk has facial tentacles that can stretch and encase the faces of others, suffocating them or ripping at their flesh. He also possesses peak human strength.
