Classification: Extra-Terrestrial
Location/Base of Operations: planet unnamed, presumably from the Milky Way galaxy
Known Members: Supreme One (leader)
Affiliations: No known allies; Examiner (agent)
Enemies: West Coast Avengers (Dr. Pym, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Mockingbird, Moon Knight, Tigra, Wonder Man)
Appearances: West Coast Avngers II#30 (March, 1988)
Powers/Abilities:
Unrevealed. The Sligs appear to be semi-insectoid. They are
technologically advanced. They possess interplanetary starships.
They are able to open inter-dimensional portals (or at least
one). They can built powerful robots and can analyze the
abilities of others and rebuild so that they are no longer
vulnerable to the same attack. They can also render beings out of
phase with a dimension so that they cannot interfere with other
events.
Traits: Belligerent and strategic, but easily deceived.
History: The Slig claim to be a small
but powerful race of warriors, and they were
intent on
cutting a swath on conquest through this galaxy. Earth was next
on their list, but they had heard that the planet had powerful
protectors: The Avengers, feared and respected by such powerful
races as the Kree and Skrulls. Rather than rush in blindly, the
Slig decided to send a scouting party, analyze the Avengers, and
formulate a way to defeat them.
They did this by transporting the West Coast
Avengers to an alien dimension and testing them in single combat
against the Examiner, a robot able to be rebuilt after each
defeat, resistant to the source of its previous destruction.
However, the Avengers each succeeded in destroying it, and the
power output required overloaded the batteries of the scouting
ship, causing it to explode. The ship did manage to send back its
data to the Supreme One, but his computers misinterpreted the
data, so that it appeared as if each person on earth was as
powerful as the combined might of the Avengers. The Supreme One
cancelled all invasion plans and warned all of his fleets to
avoid Earth's sector at all costs.
