HISTORY
Jimmy Tilton was a circus freak called Jimmy the Reptile Boy before encountering Arnold Burnsteel. As Slither, Jimmy joined the teenage rock band and group of persecuted outcasts known as "Scare Tactics".
With the band, Jimmy went on a spectacular concert tour in the U.S., at the same time opposing menaces such as the R-Complex Agents and the Graveyard Shift. He also had a team-up (sort of) with Superboy. Sadly, Slither had a brain disorder and a violent streak and had to be killed by teammate Gross-Out in self-defense.
