Suicide Squad informatics Part 12: Slipknot


Christopher Weiss was an assassin for hire who specializes in killing with extremely durable ropes and "who can climb anything", code-named Slipknot. After being captured, he was recruited into Task Force X.


Abilities
Slipknot is a master in the use of ropes, including unbreakable ones, and a trained assassin. He created a chemical adhesive which he then applied to his ropes, making them nearly indestructible. Weiss uses the ropes to strangle, grapple, and hold down his opponents. 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 can still elevate him with him having to hold onto the device. 
In addition to his ropes, Slipknot is an expert assassin, able to kill swiftly and silently.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 11: Katana


Tatsu Yamashiro, better known as Katana, is a Japanese master assassin and the only voluntary member of Task Force X. As she is a volunteer, not a criminal, she does not have a micro-bomb implant inside her neck like the other members do. Not much is known about Katana before she joined Task Force X. The Japanese script on her sash translates to "I weep when I think of him," a reference to her deceased husband Maseo Yamashiro, to whom she also talks to through her sword, Soultaker.


Abilities
Master Combatant: Tatsu is an extremely skilled and lethally formidable swordswoman (normally wielding a Japanese katana, hence her code-name), martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained to the highest level.

Peak-Human Attributes: Through specialized diets and extensive training, she has the strength, speed, stamina, metabolism, senses, reflexes, agility, and durability of any human woman who are at their physical and mental peaks.

Master Swordswoman: Katana is particularly of note for her ability with her Katana, described as being able to cut down hundreds of opponents with relative ease.

Equipment
Soultaker: A enchanted magical katana sword that can trap the souls and life force of it's victims. It is currently wielded by Katana. Katana is also able to commune with any of the spirits residing in her blade, with her eyes fading from almost entirely white to completely black to show the link has been made. The appearance of the spirits within the blade are shown by spectral skulls radiating off of the blade like heat. In addition to the Soultaker, Katana often carries additional weaponry into battle.
