Abilities[]
As Slipknot, he specializes in killing with the extremely durable ropes that he himself has developed. He may also be skilled in close quarter combat. Similar to Batman, Slipknot uses a grappling device that shoots a harpoon-type line into a surface and raises him up to the targeted like the mechanisms of an elevator. The device is attached to his belt like a harness, meaning that it could still elevate him with him without him having to hold onto the device.

Trivia[]

- Adam Beach, the actor who casts Slipknot, practiced martial arts with ropes, and can now apparently break someone's neck.
- Adam Beach has said that Slipknot was arrested by Wonder Woman.
