Slipknot is a supervillain in the DC Universe and a member of the antihero group the Suicide Squad.
Origin[]
Christopher Weiss was born on February 23, 1984, in Montgomery, Alabama, into a tribe of Saulteaux. He later left his childhood home early in order to attend school. Growing up, he was known to be a socially awkward young individual who was prone to display aggressive and irrational public outbursts. He preferred to spend the majority of his time at work and weekends at the climbing gym. He spent several years working his way up the corporate ladder at Leason Howard Inc., where he worked as formulation scientist. There he invented a supremely powerful adhesive and concealed it from his employers. His reason for doing this was his growing frustration with what he saw as insufficient compensation for his time and limited opportunities for his talent. Weiss tested his invention over several months and applied the adhesive to various burglary tools.
Finding the application extremely useful, he left the incorporation to become a professional criminal, robbing various financial institutions in Montgomery before moving to Keystone City. There, Weiss became known as a lethal assassin "who can climb anything", code-named "Slipknot", and used extremely sticky ropes and harnesses using his special adhesive. In September 1, 2002, he was arrested for comitting murder while moving from Alabama to Keystone City to pursue his criminal ambitions. He was thus forced to serve out his sentence in a federal prison. In January 15, 2010, he was arrested for committing armed robbery and was sentenced to serve in a state penitentiary. He served at least one year in Gloucester Correctional serving a sentence for the botched robbery of a jewelry store. Upon release, Weiss began committing serious felonies, working as a mercenary assassin and kidnapper using his ropes to tie up his victims. In 2015 he was captured in Gotham City and was ordered to serve a life sentence.
At some point, Slipknot was rumored to have been treated at the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the insane. A couple years later weiss was released from Elizabeth Arkham asylum for the insane and he got back his grapple gun and rope and he trained to bocome a trained assassin another couple years later he joined his brother and sister wanda and pietro joined them at S.T.A.R. Labs, Chris was the son of a woman who was obsessed with superheroes. She was a scientist for S.T.A.R. Labs, and used her research to attempt to turn her children into superheroes. Krill was infected with an inter-dimensional virus that causes glowing polka dots and lumps to form on and under his skin. Although some of his siblings survived the experimentation, others died as a result of the experiments.
Weiss survived, but was forced to expel the polka-dots twice per day for the rest of his life, in order to keep the virus causing them from eating him from within. As a result of his mother's experiments and witnessing the suffering and death of his siblings, Weiss has PTSD. He sees his mother in every face he looks into. He dislikes killing, but can manage to do it if he imagines the targets are his mother, implying he might've killed her at some point. Christopher Weiss had earned a master's degree in electrical engineering. With his skills, he would often steal from criminals and give back to those they had stolen from. Lang married a woman named Maggie sometime before 2007. Maggie was very supportive of Weiss, but disliked his robberies, albeit from criminals. The couple later had a daughter whom they named Cassandra "Cassie" Weiss. Wishing to support his own family, Weiss promised his wife katana that he would stop stealing after Cassie's birth and took up a job at the security company Vistacorp. After leaving he got arrested While traveling, a soldier spoke to them and Black Widow played along to distract him, on the count of one, the three of them beat the soldiers knocking them out, then freeing themselves from the handcuffs. After breaking free, Slipknot grabbed a shotgun to assassinate the driver who watched through a camera as they escaped, causing the corpse to push the pedal and drive faster while the partner tried to take the wheel. However, Weiss grabbed him and started hitting him against the wall to death, seeing that they were about to collide he tried to grab the steering wheel, but frankly directing him off the road causing him to fall. The car finally stopped, lying face down, as Milton's truck pulled up to the scene, Weiss along with Romanova and Barton and Pietro escape through the door, and are reunited with the rest. Guided by Rogers , The Avengers diverts their efforts to saving Mantis at the morning, who has been captured by the military and is being interrogated for information. As they drove to the palace in Milton's truck, the team began to prepare their weapons, however Slipknot complained that they were risking the mission just to save a crazy woman, so Iron Man highlighted that the comment came from someone who can climb anything with ropes and Steve told him not to abandon his team, angering Weiss. Going Down, everyone got into position in order of the plan, Where Slipknot stood on top of the roof of the bell and pointed at the only in the office waiting for the signal from Steve, When Steve was about the start the mission he discovered that Mantis had freed herself when he saw her approaching him, A short time later time and taking Thinker hostage, The team took him to the building where they threatened him to help enter Yoton Hime, While Slipknot sat and ate some grapes, Which Arm,Fall,Off,Boy was handing out. The infliction of Yoton Hime at first off without a hitch, With Slipknot and the team easily overpowering the soldiers at the entrance by threatening him with a weapon to drive them to the base where the soldiers allowed him to enter while holding on the ground as they won’t be seen by the soldiers. After crossing the troops, Thinker parked the vehicle and a heavy rain begun began to spread, As Slipknot and the team prepared to get off.he squad walked to the entrance, taking advantage of the rain making them less visible, they began to attack the soldiers by surprise, Slipknot was in charge of splitting several soldiers in half using a his knifes and ropes. After finishing off the group of soldiers, the team advanced until the door. Slipknot then hit Thinker against the retinal scan, after that threat Thinker was forced to open the door and the squad entered and locking down the building before the entire Corto Maltesean army coming can get to them first. Once inside the facility, the team begins placing plastic explosives around the walls and decides to split up into two teams: one would plant the remaining explosives on the upper floors while the other would be in charge of destroying Project Starfish. Slipknot was assigned by Flag to join King Shark to plant bombs on the first floor. While Weiss was working, Nanaue used an explosive to form the figure of Christopher Weiss and show it to him, Weiss got upset with him for playing with explosives and would ask him to put it back on the wall. In that, Slipknoy would listen to Rick Flag, and then see how he along with Ratcatcher 2 took Thinker to the elevator with the intention of showing them Project Starfish. Weiss quickly began to follow them without them noticing, taking an elevator down to the basement where they find a testing facility full of the subjects exposed to Project Starfish, which is revealed to actually be the extraterrestrial, Starro the Conqueror, who was imprisoned on the base. While Ratcatcher 2 and Thinker set out to find a way to kill Starro, Slipknot came to the floor, interrupting the conversation and annoying Flag by saying that he should be planting explosives, Weiss however replied that he didn't trust King Shark. Then Flag, anger at being used as a puppet, managed to recover a hard drive containing proof of Starro's existence, as well as the fact that it was actually recovered and experimented on by the US government instead of the Corto Maltesean government. Before he can take it however, Slipknot points his grapple gun at him, exposing his secondary mission. Alongside destroying Starro, Slipknot was also tasked by Waller to destroy any evidence confirming its existence in order to deny any involvement of the US in its recovery and weaponization. Slipknot is determined to destroy the hard drive, although he does not want to kill Flag to get to it and gives him a chance to hand it over. Before the situation can escalate however, an explosion rocks the facility, bringing it down on top of the whole team. Sand Flag both survive the explosion, however Flag is severely wounded by a piece of debris. He still stands his ground against though, and the two engage in a fistfight in order to wrestle control of the chip. Flag tried to kick Weiss, but Weiss grabbed his foot to throw it against some seeds to do it again, to defend himself Flag grabbed a nearby pipe with which he began to hit him, Weiss however stopped him but Flag continued to hit him, in defense Weiss grabbed Flag and threw him against a broken bathtub, seeing the disc he decided to kick it so that Flag wouldn't catch it. Despite his injury, Flag was able to overpower Slipknot and pins him to the ground, choking him with a metal pipe. However, before he was able to kill him, Slipknot grabs a piece of fallen debris and lodges it directly into Flag's heart, fatally wounding him. As he bleeds out, Flag mutters how Peacemaker's name is a joke before succumbing to his injuries. Cleo Cazo saw how Weiss killed Flag, despite Slipknot warnings, she decided to take the disc and started escaping. With Flag dead, Slipknot goes after Ratcatcher 2, who takes the chip and attempts to run. He catches up with her, and pins her to the floor. She begs for her life as he holds a gun to her. Just as he's about to shoot, Bloodsport drops in from the ceiling, realizing that Slipknot is a traitor. The two shoot at each other, but Bloodsport's bullet goes through Slipknot bigger bullet, destroys his pistol, and lands in his neck. Slipknot questions how this happened while bleeding out, and Bloodsport tells him about the smaller bullet's advantage. Slipknot then hits the floor, presumably dead. He would eventually be crushed under the rubble as Jotunheim collapses. At some point after the Corto Maltese mission ended and the team is sent back home, Slipknot was found by a rescue team, having miraculously survived his encounter with Bloodsport and the collapse of Jotunheim. He was then quickly rushed to the Mount Rouge Health Center where he was treated for his wounds by Dr. Alandy. However, Waller still had other plans for the vigilante, planning to make him part of a team led by mercenary Clemson Murn, and use him to assassinate Royland Goff, so shortly after she sent her former assistants Emilia Harcourt and John Economos to visit the hospital and check on Weiss coma. When Weiss awoke from his coma, he befriended the janitor Jamil, who smoked marijuana with Weiss while he was recovering and having to move around in a wheelchair.
Recovery and escape[]
- "What superhero are you?" "Slipknot." "Get outta here, motherfucker!""You a fan?""There's no superhero called Slipknot!"
- ―Jamil and Christopher Weiss[src]
- 5 months later in January 2021, Doctor Alandy eventually discharged Weiss as long as he kept up with his physical therapy by trying to avoid lifting his right elbow above his shoulder. Weiss went to talk to Jamil and trusted him with the secret that he was, in fact, Slipknot, and meant to be imprisoned for "integrity", as he called it, but Jamil didn't believe him, on account that he had never heard of Slipknot. After a brief argument between the two, Smith asked him if there were any cops around the hospital to arrest him as he was supposed to be back to prison now that he was free to go, but Jamil assured him that there were not cops around. Weiss put on his damaged costume and quickly ran from the Mount Rouge Health Center, getting into a Taxi and telling the driver to drive while he celebrated the fact that he escaped. Peacemaker arrived in his home but was forced to give his Grapple Gun to the taxi driver as he didn't have any money to pay him for his service and the driver didn't accept Corto Maltese money. Weiss tried to get into his house but couldn't find his keys, so he began searching to no avail, forcing him to use his right arm to break one the house's windows to get in. Before Smith had any chance to settle back in his home, he was approached by mercenary Clemson Murn, one of Amanda Waller's operatives, who offered him a chance to stay out of prison if he joined a black-ops assassination team led by Murn. Peacemaker accepted, and joined the team, comprised of Emilia Harcourt, Peacemaker's handler in the field on whom he had a crush, John Economos, the tech and tactics man who Peacemaker enjoyed bullying, and Leota Adebayo, the newbie in charge of all other operations. Smith listened to Adebayo giving out her speech, and after she finished her speech, Smith asked what they wanted him to do. Murn explained that they had a new mission titled Project Butterfly, which involved assassinating targets called "butterflies" that were endangering American citizens. Weiss got concerned that he would need a jetpack to fight a giant butterfly, then asked what would happen if he rejected the mission. Murn said he would have to return to Belle Reve and that Slipknot neckbomb was still armed which they could use to track him down and detonate it should he try to run away. Murn then asked Weiss to come for dinner at 7:30 PM at Fennel Fields on Manchester Road, to which Weiss agreed, but first he would go to his father's house and get Eagly. Ethen took a taxi cab to his father's house to meet him. There, the old man next door commented on him as an evil supervillain, to which Weiss argued that he's a superhero. They got into an argument and they stopped after Auggie Weiss opened the door. His father asked why he was talking with that old man which Weiss replied that he was talking to him first. His father asked Chris why he didn't tell him when he got out of prison, and Chris replied that it had been rough for him and he'd been laid out in a hospital for five months. Smith then told his father about how a guy shot him and the building fell on him, which his father thought was pathetic. Chris asked how Eagly was, and his father said that he had been taking him outside. Chris wanted to see him, so his father showed the way to Eagly. Chris was happy to finally reunite with his pet, and Eagly hugged him, to Chris's surprise. Chris told his father to get his phone, but his father had already left. Chris later had lunch with his father and told more stories about Bloodsport. He told him about Ratcatcher 2, who could control rats, and mocked Bloodsport for his musophobia, at which his father laughed maniacally. His father asked if DuBois had shot him, to which Smith indirectly said yes, which disappointed Auggie. Weiss then told his father that he only came for Eagly and a new helmet. After finishing their lunch, Chris then went with his father to the storage chamber where he explained most of the helmets' capabilities to Chris. If Chris could do something useful with a Grapple Gun and Rope , his father would gift him one to use for the mission. That night, Weiss put on his new costume and arrived at Fennel Fields. After parking, Weiss left Eagly in his car, and entered the restaurant to meet Emilia Harcourt, Clemson Murn, John Economos, and Leota Adebayo, who ordered food without him. Weiss argued with the team about Eagly and said that they were jealous because he had an eagle. As Weiss received his food, the team realized that he was being watched by his Gut Chase's younger brother, Adrian. Smith received a document on Senator Royland Goff, whom he was tasked to assassinate, but he had to see the file at his house. While eating, Weiss was reprimanded by Economos and Murn, who asked him to remove his Suit, which he reluctantly did. After the meeting ended, Weiss returned to his car and was pleased to see Eagly, but was surprised by Adebayo. Weiss began talking to her about the mission and the two began to bond. Weiss, alongside his pet eagle Eagly, tracked Harcourt as she entered a secret bar, intent on approaching her to converse in the hopes she would eventually take a liking towards Weiss himself. Disillusioned by Weiss attempts to court her, Harcourt left the bar as Weiss soon eyed a lone woman named Annie Sturphausen who immediately attracted him. They engaged in a one-night stand before she attempted to kill Weiss, revealing herself to be a butterfly upon discovering the dossier he was supplied pertaining to the details of the operation. The skirmish ended when Weiss uses the his new Grapple Gun sonic boom feature which vaporized her in an instant, also causing collateral damage in the area. The local police department, headed by detective Sophie Song, were alerted to the incident and head to the scene of the confrontation, with Weiss notifying Harcourt, who in turn was assisted by Adebayo in escorting Weiss off the premises before he could be apprehended. As Weiss collected his uniform and personal belongings from Annie's apartment, he was briefly noticed by Song and her associate Larry Fitzgibbon, who proceeded to enter the apartment and interrogate its residents while tailing Smith. One of the residences which Smith himself attempted to hide in, was occupied by a man named Evan Calcaterra and his wife Amber, who were in a dysfunctional relationship. The two of them assisted Weiss in gathering his belongings as he voluntarily tied them up in order to silence their arguing as Song and Fitzgibbon continued questioning other occupants. Weiss attempted to exit the complex through the residence balconies, only to be cornered by police officers who arrived to arrest him. Harcourt infiltrated the premises and tranquilizd them, allowing Weiss , Harcourt and Adebayo to escape the scene as they are shot at by Song and Fitzgibbon. Meanwhile, John Economos hastily swapped out Smith's fingerprints in the crime scene to correlate with those of Christopher's own father Auggie Smith to keep the police off Peacemaker's track while Adebayo bribed Evan and Amber into lying when interrogated by the police which resulted Auggie's unintended arrest and placement in the Evergreen Corrections Center. Upon being shunned by the team for confessing to leaving his dossier to be read by Stephanie, Weiss returned to his trailer and had his spirits lifted by his crimefighting partner Vigilante, who invited him to partake in target practice and eventually engage in a threesome between him, Weiss, and Amber; they collectively discovered that a device belonging to Stephanie was in actuality, a minature spaceship, confusing the three of them. The following day, Murn briefed the team on their first ops mission, directing them to assassinate United States Senator Royland Goff and his family, who were presumed to all be Butterflies. As Weiss and Harcourt infiltrated their home, they were joined by Vigilante, who successfully took over for Slipknot when he hesitated on executing Goff's son & daughter in addition to his wife when ordered by Murn. As Vigilante was about to kill Royland himself, their bodyguard Judomaster intervened and incapacitated both Weiss and Vigilante, taking them into the house's basement for questioning. Goff attempted to goad Weiss into confessing intel by torturing Vigilante and revealing his secret identity as Adrian Chase. They were saved by Harcourt, Murn and Adebayo successfully discovering the entry to the basement and blowing it up with a bomb allowing Weiss to free himself and kill Goff. Elsewhere, Economos also incapacitated Judomaster by ramming into his car with the team's van then whacking Judomaster in the head with a pipe until he was knocked unconcious. Upon being chocked and killed by Weiss, a butterfly emerged from Goff's deceased corpse, causing Smith to realize the nature of Project Butterfly. Judomaster was captured and taken back to the group's hideout to be awoken from his incapacitation and receive further questioning. Meanwhile, Adrian and Weiss made a stop at Auggie's house, where the latter retrieved new equipment and found out about his father's arrest. Despite Clemson Murn's wish to not have their dysfunctional relationship compromise their ongoing mission, in addition to Adebayo attempting to talk him out of it, Weiss elected to visit his father at the Corrections Center, where he was threatened by Auggie with his attempt to expose Project Butterfly to the authorities. Outside the facility, Adebayo suggested to Adrian Chase that Weiss would be better off without his father, which prompted him to get himself arrested out of a desire to infiltrate the prison grounds so he could kill Auggie himself, unbeknownst to Weiss. Chase would successfully provoke Auggie's associates into physical confrontation, but would ultimately fail to aggravate Auggie himself, eventually being bailed out by A.R.G.U.S. from serving jail time as Harcourt came to collect him and return him home later that day. Meanwhile, Weiss and Adebayo returned to their hideout, where they immediately discover Judomaster's attempted escape from the premises. After a lengthy one-on-one confrontation between Smith and Judomaster, Adebayo abruptly shot the latter just as he was about to inform Weiss about the true purpose of the Butterflies. Disillusioned and confused, Weiss returned to his trailer later that evening, having kept the Butterfly he claimed to have killed to the rest of the team, alive in a jar. Alone, he introspected about having to reluctantly kill Rick Flag inside Jötunheim, in addition to reflecting on his traumatic childhood and the death of his older brother, which were contributing factors to his warped worldview on peace and justice. At Evergreen Corrections Center, Auggie Weiss continued to urge Detective Song and Fitzgibbon regarding his innocence, which lead to them discovering that Christopher Smith himself killed Annie Sturphausen at the apartment complex upon attempting to match their fingerprints and later re-interrogating the Calcaterras at their residence. Meanwhile, Christopher was briefed by the team on the nature of the Butterflies, learning that they enter a human host through their orifice and feed on an unspecified liquid substance. Adebayo's discovery from the previous night lead them to the nearby Glan Tai Bottling Company where said liquid was processed and bottled for distribution. During the operation, Weiss, equipped with a new helmet with an X-ray vision feature, learned that every employee in the factory are disguised Butterflies, in addition to encountering an escaped gorilla from the zoo named Charlie. Upon attempting to search for the helmet, Weiss experienced a brief hallucination of his deceased father, prompting him to use a tranquilizer dart to "kill" him, and unknowingly uncovering the helmet's location. John Economos, disguised as a Butterfly himself, planted Weiss sonic boom grapple gun at the Butterflies' base, although the shockwave ultimately failed to kill the Cow. With no other options, Weiss, Harcourt and Chase launched a frontal assault where they killed nearly every Butterfly in the area, however Harcourt and Chase were shot down while Economos broke his leg when attempting to intervene. Adebayo saved Harcourt's life and went to help Slipknot. Slipknot and Butterfly-Song battled again, Adebayo attempted to use the Human Torpedo helmet to assist but she missed her target and slammed her head into a wall. Eek Stack Ik Ik attempted to reason with Slipknot that their motives for invasion were not to take over the world but to stop humanity from destroying their own planet the same way the Butterflies destroyed their native planet. Eek Stack Ik Ik urged Slipknot to stop fighting and join their cause, Slipknot considered the offer but ultimately decided to fire Adebayo directly into the cow with the Human Torpedo, this killed the Cow and gave Slipknot the chance to kill both Locke and Sophie Song's bodies, though he opted to spare Eek Stack Ik Ik. Just as the 11th Street Kids walked away from the ranch with most of the members gravely injured, they were unexpectedly met by the Justice League--consisting of Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Aquaman, who indeed had been called by Waller to help. Infuriated, Weiss reprimanded the entire team for their lack of urgency regarding the severity of the situation they solely resolved without their intended assistance. In the aftermath of the events, Harcourt, Economos, and Chase underwent medical treatment for their injuries, meanwhile, Adebayo and Weiss made amends over the incident involving the fake diary, inspiring the latter to leak details surrounding "Project Butterfly" and Amanda Waller's role in assembling Task Force X to the public, clearing Weiss name in the process. Before Adebayo left, Weiss told Adebayo that she was his best friend, touching his teammate, who checked out of the hospital while Weiss awaited the recovery of his other friends. While watching Adebayo's revelation, Weiss was proud of Adebayo, who publicly reported on the mission and how Weiss and the 11th Street Kids were heroes. For the next few days, Weiss waited for Harcourt to wake up, comforting his love interest, who was shown to have feelings for him. Returned to his normal life, Slipknot continued to have fun with Vigilante, blowing up vehicles. Weiss returned home to his trailer, accompanied by Eagly and Eek Stack Ik Ik, who no longer had any ill will towards him, but also hallucinated his father again. , something that disturbed Weiss, however, after seeing Eagly bring a death possum, Chris continued to drink in confusion During his retirement, Weiss was called by Steve Rogers, who had become a fugitive due to defying the Sokovia Accords, and asked Weiss to help rescue Wanda Maximoff from the Avengers Compound where Tony Stark had told Vision to supervise her. Upon arriving at the facility, Slipknot set off an explosion which distracted Vision while he got in. However, Maximoff had sensed a presence behind her, causing her to launch a knife towards the intruder. Fortunately, Maximoff saw it was Slipknot and stopped the blade inches from his head, as Slipknot pushed the knife away and joked that he should have knocked. Maximoff then asked what Slipknot was doing here, to which he claimed to be disappointing his kids. Slipknot shot his Trap Bullets on both sides of the room and told Maximoff they had to go as Rogers currently needed their help, taking Maximoff's hand as they then attempted to leave. Before they could get out, however, Vision returned to the room as he told Slipknot that he should not be in there to which Slipknot joked that he had retired for five minutes and it all went to shit. While Vision started to approach Slipknot and Maximoff, as he told Slipknot to consider the consequences of his actions before he was stunned due to Slipknot's electrical ropes. With Vision incapacitated, Slipknot started to leave, knowing that it would not hold him for long. However, as he went towards the exit while they still could, Slipknot had then noticed Maximoff's hesitancy to leave as she stayed in the same spot, with Slipknot becoming frustrated as he turned back to attempt to convince her to leave. Maximoff, however, then explained how she felt guilty following the fight against Crossbones earlier that week and felt that she should stay in their facility, to which Slipknot mockingly told her to go back to school if she wanted to mope. The battle between the Avengers began with the two teams charging at each other, Slpknot throwing several trick ropes at his former allies as one of his ropes managed to incapacitate Vision as Slipknot had aimed his grapple gun at Iron Man and Spider-Man. Slipknot and Black Widow then started to fight. He had managed to throw Black Widow to the ground, she questioned if they were still friends, which he had jokingly claimed that it depended on how hard she hit him. As their clash still continued, Black Widow had then finally managed to get the upper hand due to Hawkeye holding back all his punches. Taking advantage of Hawkeye's unwillingness to really hurt her, Black Widow threw him off her and attempted to kick him in the head, only for Maximoff to save Slipknot and then knock her out with her telekinetic powers, telling off Slipknot for holding back. As the battle raged on, Slipknot continued to fight against Iron Man's team.
Slipknot Quotes[]
And what about the newbie? Wanna share with us? Why did you say yes? I mean beyond the neck kaboom you'd be hearing if we turned it down."
"Got my ropes back, and I don't got shackles."
- Black Widow and Slipknot[src]
- I feel I will always have that spirit bear with me, so I will always feel protected.
- Well to me growing, up I've had my own psychological war with my parents dying at such a young age. My mother was killed by a drunk driver, then two months later my father drowned. He was out with his friends drinking and on medication for depression, and he didn't come out of the water alive. Growing up with sexual abuse and having to be in gangs and dealing with my own trauma; finding the cultural identity when I was 16, and learning those traditional ways saved me from hurting myself.
- You can't propel a nation to move forward if all you are doing is taking something from them. ...
- Christopher Weiss, better known as Slipknot, was an American rope and knot expert skilled at rope climbing and later bacame a trained assassin
