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.

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 swings his mine detector, hitting a flaming tank, causing it to explode. He and the soldier are both killed.

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, a 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.

Zeitgeist, in particular, did not care for his less than human looks. This is revealed in during the battletapes, taken by Doop (comics), that he ostensibly reviews for 'tactics'.

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.
