Slab is the alias of Christopher Anderson, a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in X-Factor #74.
Slab is a mutant villain who was recruited by Mister Sinister to be part of his Nasty Boys and was the first team member to attack their nemesis, the government sponsored X-Factor team. Slab climbed to the top of the Washington Monument and called Strong Guy out to fight him, and they battled. When Slab shrunk to normal size to duck a punch, he caused Strong Guy to shatter and destroy the monument.
Slab was captured along with his teammate Hairbag and taken to a holding cell by X-Factor. While he waited for his lawyer to negotiate bail, Slab and Hairbag were broken out of prison by the Mutant Liberation Front (of which Slab's sister Thumbelina was a member) and returned to the Nasty Boys shortly afterwards. Slab has not been seen since the group's subsequent breakup. It is unknown if Slab retained his mutant powers after the M-Day.
