Slither (Aaron Salomon) is a fictional character, a snake-like mutant appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in Captain America Annual #4 and was created by writer/artist Jack Kirby. Salomon is a mutant whose head and neck resembles a snake and has green reptile skin.
Slither first appeared as part of Magneto's latest version of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants along with Burner, Lifter, Peepers, and Shocker. The Brotherhood attacked Captain America, but were defeated. The five mutants later become known as Mutant Force, facing off against the Defenders and later on the Hulk. Slither later worked for Viper and was a member of the Serpent Society for a brief time.
Salomon was recruited, alongside four other mutant men (Burner, Lifter, Peepers, and Shocker), to serve in Magneto's new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
Wanting to exploit a tiny spaceship he had found, Magneto sent the Brotherhood to apprehend the diminutive Mister One, who controlled the large Mister Two. The villains attacked Mister One and Mister Two, and Captain America, in a park. During the battle, Salomon wrapped himself around Captain America, stating, "Slither is my name!, and strangling is my game!". When S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived, the Brotherhood fled back to headquarters, and Magneto captured Mister One. The Brotherhood was shocked to learn the plot involved the tiny spaceship. When Captain America and Mister Two attacked, Salomon constricted around Mister Two until Mister Two threw Salomon against Lifter. As he prepared to crush Captain America, Mister Two threw Salomon around Lifter, incapacitating him. When Mister One exploded the tiny spaceship, the villains were forced to flee.
