Slipknot is an enemy of Firestorm with adhesive ropes. He was later pressed into the service of the Suicide Squad.
History
Origin
Christopher Weiss was believed to have once worked as a chemist in the Southern United States, where he developed the supremely powerful adhesive that covers his ropes.[1]
With his new ropes, Slipknot became a minion of the 2000 Committee, who sent him to murder Firestorm and kidnap Lorraine Reilly. Firestorm was able to foil this plot and save Reilly.[2]
Slipknot later joined other villains in another attempt to kill Firestorm, but he was defeated and ended up in prison.[3]
Recruited for a mission with the Suicide Squad, Slipknot was cajoled into trying to desert by Captain Boomerang, but had his arm blown off by a bomb shackled to it. [4]
