Christopher Weiss

Christopher Weiss is the civilian identity of Slipknot, a DC villain who uses ropes as deadly weapons. He is known for his appearances as a hired assassin and as a member of the Suicide Squad.

Christopher Weiss stepped onto the DC stage in 1986 — right in the heart of the Copper Age — making his debut in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, that beloved encyclopedia of all things DC. His catalog footprint spans a remarkable 35 years, and the company he keeps is genuinely electric: Green Lantern, Firestorm, The Flash, and Slipknot all share his pages across titles like Firestorm and Suicide Squad. A character who turns up in Suicide Squad alongside that crowd is clearly someone operating in the shadowy, morally complicated corners of the DC Universe — and for fans who love digging into the deeper cuts of that world, Christopher Weiss is exactly the kind of discovery that makes collecting so rewarding.
