I thought I was the only one who remembered his mini-series from '92. I LOVED this dude. His brief appearance on the bus in "The Initiative #1" was the only reason I continued to read the series. I hope they continue to use him well. Unfortunately, he seems like a prime candidate for "Skrull-ification"

That what i like about the Initiative series, the usage of old obscure characters.

And i think Slapstick would be the last one to be replaced by skrulls. He's just crazy anyway.

Yeah, I thought about that, but on the other hand, his shapeshifting powers are easy to dupe. And the brutal beating he gave Gauntlet was waaaay out of character.

Wow! Other people love Slapstick too? Amazing.

A few days ago I finally got my order of all 4 Slapstick comics. They are HILARIOUS. I love this guy as much as Deadpool. And he isn't exactly an important character just YET. In some Initiative comics, he's not even listed. But his appearance in several of them will hopefully mark the beginning of more Slapstick. And yeah, even though the brutal beating was a tad out of character, it's believable. He was really close with the New Warriors, and Gauntlet wouldn't stop dissing them, so it's believable.

It's not really out of character, he did some crazy things in his first mini too, and i think the skrulls would have a hard time copying his infinity pockets.

I'm thrilled that Slapstick is still kicking around the Initiative books.  I can't wait to see how his story unfolds when everyone finds out that he beat the crap out of Gauntlet and stole KIA's weapon.  I think his whacky powers are slowly driving him insane.
