	Soon after developing it, Ironfist was so horrified by its virulence that he destroyed his original files and flushed all but one of his initial samples into space...or so he thought. In fact, his amoral rival [[Skyfall (G1)\|Skyfall]] had already stolen his research and leaked it to the [[Decepticon]]s. As a result, some of the final product ended up at the disposal of Decepticon commander [[Gideon]] during the battle of [[Babu Yar]]. Gideon then unleashed this weapon against [[Flame (Marvel)\|Flame]]'s troops, thus earning the substance its more popular nickname. Those who survived were later able to note that the substance fell in a rain-like form even though atmospheric conditions were completely clear. Autobot High Command would remain totally perplexed by the foul brew; Skyfall attempted to direct their subsequent investigations against Ironfist in order to incriminate him, but this went nowhere due to lack of evidence. The pitiful combat survivors of the Gideon's Glue attack were ruined in both body and mind. A characteristic effect of their trauma was to automatically seek cover and try to sit beneath sturdy objects at all times.
