Sylvester Deadalus (Sly) is a fictional character, a supervillain that appears in the NEW-GEN comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Chris Matonti, J.D. Matonti, and Julia Coppola, he first appeared in NEW-GEN #1 (2010).
Sylvester Deadalus was born on the 4th of July. As he matured, he developed an interest in science, and eventually apprenticed himself to Gabriel, helping him to create new types of nanotechnology for use in New-Gen. Eventually, of New-Gen's environment was automated and controlled by the nanobots that he and Gabriel created. Deadalus eventually grew to believe that he could use the nanobots to seize power for himself. In order to destabilize New-Gen and seize power, Deadalus unleashed a huge swarm of nanobots he developed that radically alter the bodies of those they come in contact with. Gabriel destroys the swarm before they can do too much damage, and banishes Deadalus to the underworld as punishment for his uprising.
Daedalus was a skillful craftsman and artisan in Greek mythology.

It is the year 2877. In 2077, the world's peacekeeping unions, such as the United Nations and the European Union have collapsed after years of global tensions, forcing humanity to establish a planetary government in order to maintain order. A government operating as the World Silent Security Service, also known as the W.S.S.S., is established and world peace is restored. The WSSS takes control of both the planet Earth and outer space, establishing its headquarters on the Central Control Station Daedalus in earth orbit. The WSSS eradicates the control of all previous unions and organizations and unites the whole of humanity under its control for over 800 years. However, with all of its original creators gone by that point in time, humanity questioned the justification of Deadulus's rule, and some began to rebel against the government in the wake of its so-called Archaic policies. The leading rebel group in this massive rebellion, the Reformist Faction, sends three elite pilots of the highly sophisticated Laocorn-class Assault Robots on a covert mission to destroy Daedalus. Once inside, two Laocorns are immediately destroyed, leaving the one survivor, the player character, to face Daedalus' massive robot armies and transverse vast, dark corridors in his quest to destroy Daedalus and to save humanity.
