The Slug (real name: Ulysses X. Lugman) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe.
Ulysses Lugman was born in Miami, Florida. He is a Miami-based drug dealer whose business was once toppled by the Nomad. 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. He was recently seen imprisoned in the Raft, a prison for superhuman criminals.
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 alloweing 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.
