Slapstick | Definition of Slapstick by Merriam-Webster

LaFroyge was stopped, arrested by the authorities, before Slapstick's identity was made public. Slapstick is later seen on the bus of new recruits arriving at Camp Hammond as part of the Initiative training program. Slapstick and other Camp Hammond members are sent out as crowd control when the Hulk and his Warbound crew leads an attack on New York. He is assigned morale support for the evacuating citizens under command of the Avenger Triathlon. A fellow recruit, Rage leads a rebellion against the crowd support mission in order to go confront the Hulk. Slapstick joins in. His team is swiftly defeated by the Hulk's forces. The recruits are imprisoned by Hulk's forces in Madison Square Garden and neutralized with power-sapping technology. They are rescued by black ops forces associated with the Camp. Later it is Slapstick who attacks and almost kills Gauntlet out of loyalty to the New Warriors, in retaliation for Gauntlet's use of the team's name as an insult. He later comes in possession of a device containing the memory and personality of KIA , the villainous clone of Michael Van Patrick, and decides to keep it for further use. Slapstick and several other former New Warriors have recently been recruited by Justice and apparently deserted from the Initiative, after Justice finds evidence of shady activities within the organization. As legally registered heroes, they are free to act unless they break the law while doing so. When asked to change to his less conspicuous normal form, Slapstick admits that he has not done so since joining the Initiative, and claims that the mechanism that activates the change no longer works. He later returned to Camp Hammond with the team, now calling themselves the New Warriors again, [17] and battled Ragnarok , the cyborg clone of Thor. During the Fear Itself storyline, Slapstick appears at a meeting held by Prodigy regarding magical hammers that have crashed into the earth. He later joins forces with other heroes to battle the Worthy. When Deadpool founded his Mercs for Money , he employed the services of Slapstick, among numerous other vigilantes, to pose as him in order to extend his reach across the globe. As Slapstick, Steve Harmon's body is made out of Electroplasm after exposure to an unknown alien device, which makes him indestructible. Any damage that he takes can be immediately shaken off, as he possesses superhuman durability and virtually unlimited physical malleability in the manner of an animated slapstick cartoon character. Slapstick also possesses superhuman agility and reflexes. It has been shown that the molecular bonds of the Electroplasm can be disrupted by a counter charge of a specific frequency of energy, reducing Slapstick to an immobile "puddle"; however, another energy charge can restore him to "normal". In addition, Slapstick gets temporarily stronger when electrocuted. However, he must have a consistent feed of electricity to maintain this strength. Slapstick's gloves also possess alien technology. His left glove has a transformation inducer that allows him to transform to and from Slapstick to his normal Steve Harmon form. His right glove is a materializer that contains an extra-dimensionally sub-spacial storage pocket, which functions similar to cartoon hammerspace , and allows him to store items seemingly nowhere. He can access these items by making a special gesture with that hand, though to anyone observing it would appear he is pulling them out of thin air. He usually keeps a large cartoon-ish mallet in this space. Recent accounts have shown similar pockets in the pants of his costume. Objects stored in these pockets are undetectable by conventional means; for example, Slapstick carried his New Warriors communicator, left forgotten in a pants pocket, into Camp Hammond without any of the base's security measures detecting it. Slapstick reached another zenith during the late 19th century in English and American music-hall entertainment and vaudeville , and such English stars as George Formby and Gracie Fields carried its popularity well into the 20th century. Their example was followed in sound films by Laurel and Hardy , the Marx Brothers , and the Three Stooges , whose stage careers predated their films and whose films were frequently revived beginning in the s and were affectionately imitated by modern comedy directors. The best of the slapstick comedians may be said to have turned low humour into high art. Slapstick Article Media Additional Info. Home Literature Plays. Print Cite. Facebook Twitter.
