The Awesome Slapstick (Comic Book) | comment |
Slapstick is a Super Hero character created by Len Kaminski and James Fry III, who first appeared in a four-issue limited series (November 1992-February, 1993) by Marvel Comics. Despite being voted by Marvel readers as the best new character of 1992, Slapstick was left in obscurity until his appearance in Avengers: The Initiative. His first ongoing series was announced as part of 2016's Marvel NOW! relaunch, starting in December 2016.Steve Harmon, our protagonist, is the classic class clown, devoting his life to pulling pranks, telling tasteless jokes, being generally irritating and dreaming about the prettiest girl in school. One evening, in an attempt to get revenge on a classmate who blew the whistle on one of his pranksnote it involved a medical school cadaver and the school cafeteria, Steve dresses up as a clown and sneaks into a carnival passing through town. As it happens, the carnival was a trap created by the Evil Clowns from Dimension X in a scheme to kidnap people and enslave them for their Overlord. Seeing the clowns drag his friends through a magic mirror portal, Steve follows them through, just as the portal closes...Steve is rescued by the Scientist Supreme of Dimension X, who explains that the incident caused a freak accident which has turned his body into "electroplasm", an indestructible and infinitely malleable substance. Using his circus mallet and his indestructible body, Steve smashes the Overlord's Mediocritizer, rescues his schoolmates, and destroys the mirror portal. As the dust clears, Steve is found by his friend Mike Peterson, who notes that he obviously just had an origin and thus should start fighting crime. Steve compromises by offering to play cruel tricks on it instead and dubs himself Slapstick.After his original 1992 series, Slapstick briefly appeared with The New Warriors, appeared regularly as a recruit in Avengers: The Initiative, then was a regular member of Deadpool's Mercs for Money. In 2017, Slapstick appeared in Slapstick: Volume 2, a six-issue series created by Reilly Brown, Fred Van Lente, and Diego Olortegui.Slapstick's primary ability is his highly agile and indestructible body, which gives him the composition of a living cartoon. While he can be burned, shot, smashed, crushed, twisted, and anything else, he recovers almost instantly with no harm. Slapstick's clown gloves have a molecular stabilizer to allow him to change to human form, and a sub-spacial storage pocket to allow him to hold a single item in Hammerspace. Slapstick can also get a temporary boost in size and strength if he is zapped with electricity. | |

Captain Ersatz: The 2016 series includes a series of antagonists from Dimension X who are all blatantly based on cartoon characters from the 1970s through the 1990s, including Bro-Man (He-Man), the Taurs (Smurf/My Little Pony centaur hybrids), and the War D.O.G.s (cross between G.I. Joe and Road Rovers). The Sorcerer Supreme of Dimension X/Ecch is a copy of Gargamel dressed in Mickey Mouse's hat and robes from The Sorcerer's Apprentice. | |

Wolverine Publicity: Parodied in issue #2, which features Spider-Man as a Special Guest. Noteworthy because Spidey was all but useless in the issue, with many jokes made at his expense. They also played this trope on the cover of issue 4 with Slapstick promoting the fact Ghost Rider was in the issue. As it turns out, Ghostie was only one of many heroes who popped up that issue. | |

Toon Physics | |
The Awesome Slapstick (Comic Book) / int_b4f47048 | comment |
Toon Physics: After being transformed into "living electroplasm" from an accident with an alien portal, Slapstick is essentially a Toon — he is able to freely abuse Toon Physics, making him a Nigh Invulnerable minor Reality Warper. He can recover from all injuries almost instantly with no damage, and has performed otherwise impossible feats, such as swallowing a box of bullets and rapidly firing them by spitting them out like a machine gun. Specifically, Slapstick is a character in the 616 Marvel Universe, just like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. However, he has super powers that just happen to make him resemble a cartoon. He has a normal human form, but when he transforms to his Slapstick form, he has Rubber Man powers, meaning that he can be stretched harmlessly and turn into an accordion when crushed, and a very powerful Healing Factor, meaning that he can be riddled with bullets, and burned to ash and leave his eyes unharmed long enough for a few blinks. He also has gloves which can access a "sub-spacial storage pocket," or, in layman's terms, Hammerspace. Finally, he has the personality of a practical joker. Put it together, and he's a cartoon character who could reasonably interact with the X-Men. | |

Willing Suspension of Disbelief: The Overlord's castle in Dimension X stayed upright with this; when Steve's schoolmates awoke from their Mediocritizer-induced stupor, it promptly collapsed. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
The Awesome Slapstick (Comic Book) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: The 2016 series features a dig toward the original 1992 miniseries where Slapstick chides his friend Mike for retelling his origins in his planned graphic novel because gaining his powers to fight clowns from another dimension is too goofy for anyone to believe. Quite tellingly, the art style of Mike's graphic novel matches that of said miniseries. The third issue has Mike being told that his graphic novel probably won't last six issues. The 2016 series ended up ending at the sixth issue. | |

Something We Forgot | |
The Awesome Slapstick (Comic Book) / int_dc3d72e6 | comment |
Something We Forgot: The 2016 series ends with Slapstick remarking that all the loose ends have been tied and that everyone got what they wanted. We then see Quasimodo held prisoner by A.R.M.O.R., who vows to get even with Slapstick for failing to prevent him from falling into A.R.M.O.R. custody as he promised. | |

Morality Pet: His niece and nephew in the 2016 series. Between this and his attempts to be their cool uncle, a slight amount of prodding from them is enough for him to get off his ass and help people. | |

Non-Humans Lack Attributes | |
The Awesome Slapstick (Comic Book) / int_f2490f42 | comment |
Non-Humans Lack Attributes: The 2016 series reveals that when Slapstick defeated the Overlord of Dimension X/Ecch in his very first appearance, he ended up triggering a device that caused this same effect on the entire population of the Dimension. They were less than pleased with their "savior" when he returned. The princess of Dimension Ecch was actually behind everyone losing their genitals, but after she is defeated, the inhabitants become anatomically correct again. Unfortunately for Slapstick, he's still smooth. | |
