character biography
Ulysses Lugman was born in Miami, Florida. He is a Miami-based drug dealer whose business was once toppled by the Nomad, with the assistance of Captain America and Vagabond. He seems to have rebounded, as he was shown in a meeting between the United States' major criminal empires in order to divide the Kingpin's former territory. Later, he was seen bowing under the pressure and blackmail of Don Fortunato, who wished to be the new kingpin. Spider-Man and Daredevil help break up this meeting, seemingly leaving Ulysses free with his territory intact. He was recently seen imprisoned in the Raft, a prison for superhuman criminals.
He is also a major opponent of Poison.
Slug broke out of the Raft and joined the Hood's criminal empire. He helped them fight the New Avengers but was taken down by Dr. Strange.
Powers and abilities
The Slug's only "power" is his immense fat: he may weigh more than one thousand pounds. Unlike the Blob, the Slug has no means of compensating for this mass, so he is almost immobile when not making use of a high-tech personal hovercraft. It has been suggested that the Slug is a mutant, with his mutation allowing him to live and function (albeit in a limited fashion) with his massive girth. Offensively, the Slug is known to asphyxiate his victims (usually underlings who failed or displeased him) in the folds of his fat.
