Slab

Slab is a Marvel Comics villain who clashed with the government-sponsored X-Factor team during Peter David's celebrated early-1990s run on the series. A physically imposing threat, he challenged mutant heroes including Strong Guy and Quicksilver.

Debuting in 1992's X-Factor #74 under the sharp creative team of Peter David and Larry Stroman, Slab is a Copper/Modern Age Marvel creation who stepped onto the scene during one of the most celebrated runs in the series' history. Sharing pages with heavy hitters like Strong Guy, Quicksilver, and Lorna Dane, Slab has kept genuinely compelling company across a catalog that stretches all the way to 2024 — a quiet testament to staying power. Collectors hunting Peter David's landmark X-Factor work will find Slab woven through the X-Factor Visionaries: Peter David and Epic Collection volumes, making those editions essential reading for anyone who wants the full picture of that era. A niche gem for the dedicated Marvel completist.
