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.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 10: Enchantress

Dr June Moone is a Human female. Originally a thrill seeking youth, June found a cavern within which lay the spirit Dzamor, an ancient feral being that has been trapped in the cavern for so long. The spirit soon possessed June and granted her magical powers, albeit with a mentally unstable mind and became known as the Enchantress.

Enchantress is an entity that was once worshiped by an unspecified Central American culture, along with her brother Incubus. The two are trapped in totems and left in a temple for nearly 7 thousand years. She possesses June Moone after her totem was destroyed. Enchantress quickly turns against the squad, deciding to purge the Earth in order to punish mankind for sealing her and her brother's souls in artifiacts after years of worshipping them.


Appearance
Enchantress changes form depending on her strength. With her heart removed, she takes a dirty ashen appearance with glowing orange eyes. With her heart returned and linked to her brother, Enchantress takes a new form similar to a Mayan priestess with a headdress and teal energy from flowing skirts and sleeves. While in this form, she appears to be doing a rhythmic dance.

Abilities
Dzamor is a powerful sorceress. who appears to possess the ability to manipulate magical energy for any number of effects, from healing to teleportation, and can directly affect any non-living objects with her magic. She can also walk through walls and craft machines.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 09: Killer Croc

Waylon Jones is a metahuman cannibal originating from Gotham City, with a rare skin disease and genetically regressive atavism, which gives his skin a grey, scaly appearance (resembling that of a crocodile's) being given the nickname Killer Croc. Jones embraces it by sharpening his nails and teeth, to give him a more reptilian, fierce, and animalistic appearance. It's his skill at surviving and maoeuvring in dark, dank sewers that makes him a deadly foe when he's in his element.

Appearance
Waylon is very tall and broad-shouldered, fitted with natural extreme musculature, and is completely bald all over his body. His less human traits are his filed teeth and nails, as well as his rough greenish-grey scaly skin, all resembling that of a crocodile (hence his code-name "Killer Croc"), though his filled teeth more resemble those of sharks. This is all due to the genetic disorder (extreme epidermolytic hyperkeratosis) than Waylon was born with. In addition, his eyelids are horizontal and come together on the sides of his eyes.


Abilities
Animal Physiology: Killer Croc was born with an extreme case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, a disfiguring skin disorder, which further evolved into a more reptilian physiology. However, it is actually a form of regressive atavism, meaning that he has inherited traits of species other than humans, which in his case are reptilian in nature. His durable skin and naturally extreme musculature, combined with his reptilian genetics and traits gave him several inhuman physical abilities.

Super Strength: Killer Croc has a degree of superhuman strength, due to him possesses inhuman muscles that are animalistic in nature. This easily makes him the physically strongest member of Task Force X, allowing him to successfully wrestle alligators in a carnival sideshow.

Enhanced Durability: Killer Croc's rough scaly skin and inhumanly strong muscles are highly durable, to a much higher degree than that of a normal human, with his skin acting as natural body armor while his muscle tissue being more resistant to impact.

Super Senses: His reptilian physiology grants Killer Croc very acute senses, especially his sense of smell & hearing.

Underwater Adaption: Croc can stay under water for vast periods of time.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 08: El Diablo

Chato Santana, code-named El Diablo, was a former Los Angeles gang member who is actually a Metahuman with the ability to produce fire from his body. Due o the destructive nature of his powers, Chato prefers isolation so as not to harm others around him. But that doesn't mean he doesn't live up to his name, which is Spanish for the devil.

Appearance: Chato Santana is a bald, and rather dark-skinned Hispanic man, with his Mexican origins tattooed over his body, as well as skull tattoos, outlining his own skull and face. He wears a black-and-blue jacket with the inscription "Diablo" and a white t-shirt underneath.


Personality: Unlike the other members of the Task Force X who all want to get out and actively hurt people, Chato wants to stay out of the fight. However, rage can seemingly enhance his powers, as Deadshot provoking him allowed him to blast fiery beams from his hands.

Abilities
Pyrokinesis: Chato can generate, manipulate and shoot fire to a multitude of dangerous effects. During his imprisonment, he was seen being doused with water inside a large pipe while causing fire to emerge on its floor. He can also manifest fire on his hands without it hurting him, as well as blast fiery beams or columns of fire from his hands. This extent of his power is seemingly furthered by his rage.
Multilingual: Chato, being Hispanic, can fluently converse in both English and Spanish.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 07: Captain Boomerang

George "Digger" Harkness is a devious and ruthless Australian roughneck... and that's his good side. He developed a skill in crafting razor-sharp boomerangs at a young age, and eventually turned to a life of crime. Code-named Captain Bommerang, he has a wisecracking attitude and short fuse which often escalate the already dangerous situation.

Personality
George Harkness is a relatively tall and broad-shouldered Australian man, wearing a cap, and a brownish-gray trench-coat with a sewn right sleeve. On that same side, he wears a glove under his trench-coat. He wears a blue vest, with "Captain" being written on it (in silvery letters), and he stuck a boot with a ribbon for hanging as a weapon. He has dark brown hair, a thick mustache, bushy side burns and blue eyes. He speaks in a very thick Australian accent.


Abilities
Master Boomerang Thrower - Harkness is a master at throwing his bladed and edged trick boomerangs, and is able to hit moving targets with incredible precision. During firefights and combat, he uses the ability of the boomerang to fly back to throw it over the cover of his opponent, and then strike them in the back.

Master Combatant - In addition, Harkness is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant (though not quite on Batman's level), and can cut down multiple people in mere seconds when using the bladed edges of his boomerangs as close-quarter weapons.

Equipment
Trick Boomerangs - Harkness' primary weapons, with each of them a steel-made curved blade, sharpened on both sides and perforated by prolongated holes. When thrown, his boomerangs spins about an axis that is perpendicular to their flight direction, and are designed to return to the thrower. He is a very formidable opponent when armed with his trick boomerangs.

Drone Boomerangs - Useful for stealth and scouting, these boomerangs can stay airborne and have a built-in camera that transmits video imagery of the boomerang's location to Harkness' cell phone. This means he can hide while scouting out the area, which gives him a tactical advantage whenever he decides to attack or carry out a plan.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 06: Rick Flag

Richard "Rick" Flag Jr is a Colonel in the Special Forces who was recruited by Amanda Waller to lead Task Force X. But he does not always agree with her goals or methods.

Personality
Rick Flag Jr. is a hardened man, considering he served in the military for quite some time. He seems to have a serious look on him all the time. He puts up an intimidating pose in order to make sure the Task Force X members don't get out of hand. He seems to be quite irritated by the antics of Harley Quinn, notably her quick robbery at a jewelry store.


Equipment
Salient Arms International Tier One AR-15: a select-fire assault rifle designed and developed by humans. The weapon is chambered in the 5.56×45mm NATO round featuring a standard 30 round magazine. Flagg's rifle features a fixed butt stock, ACOG Scope, laser-Flashlight attachment and handguard attachment.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 05: Harley Quinn

Dr Harleen Quinzel was a former psychiatrist who used to be in charge of the Joker at Arkham Asylum. She eventually fell in love with her patient and became obsessed with him. Having lost her sanity due to frequent torture, she soon joined Joker and took on the criminal identity of Harley Quinn, viewing life as one big joke.

Personality
Harleen was once a calm and compassionate young lady, before the Joker transformed her both mentally and physically into "Harley Quinn". Through the shock therapy and the Joker's manipulation, her mind and emotions were twisted and she was made into a homicidal, sadistic, child like psychopath, who would often use sexuality and her playful personality to achieve her goals or to entertain herself, usually harming others in the process. As of current time, she follows the Joker in whatever he demands of her, blindly and obsessively smitten with the ruthless psychopath, affectionately referring to him as Pudding.

Harley carries almost an innocent persona, wide-eyed and bright, finding humor in otherwise dark situations, much like Joker himself. She is also shown talking to voices in her head, saying that they told her to kill everyone and escape, before laughing it and saying that they said something else, potentially something worse.


Equipment
Chiappa Rhino 60DS: For long ranged combat, Harley sports a customized Chiappa Rhino 60DS, 6 cylinder magnum revolver. She carries it in a black leather holster slung under her arm.

Good Night: For melee combat, Harley carries a personalized wooden baseball bat which says "Good Night" down the side of it. She does have an urge to play with it, one example being when she pretends she's holding a shotgun.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 04: The Joker

The Joker is a psychopathic and homicidal maniac based in Gotham City, and is by far the most dangerous adversary that Batman has ever faced. Joker has a colorful personality, and tends to use theatricality and clowned or circus themes in his appearance and equipment. Completely unpredictable, with no regard for human life, the Joker revels in every moment of chaos he creates, and is often joined by his accomplice and girlfriend Harley Quinn, whom he had once turned psychotic. No one really knows who he was before and where he came from...


Personality
The Joker is characterized as nihilistic, maniacal, sociopathic, sadistic, homicidal, narcissistic, and egotistical. He completely unpredictable and utterly malevolent, with no regard for human life, and takes sadistic pleasure in the murder, mayhem and physical, mental and emotional suffering of others, easily managing to find humor, or even sport, in it. The reasoning behind his plans and crimes, as well as the mayhem and suffering he causes, usually only makes sense to him. Despite his diabolical and maniacal personality, he is shown to actually be very intelligent and in his schemes, the Joker usually manages to stay one step ahead of the police, and sometimes even Batman himself. He is a genius at planning and improvising criminal activities, despite his personality being capable of sometimes impairing his higher thinking.

The Joker possesses an obliviousness (or carelessness) to danger that makes him invulnerable to fear, which is usually Batman's greatest weapon in combat, making the Joker one of the Caped Crusader's most formidable enemies. His capacity for heinous torture and murder are enough to frighten low-level thugs and make them work for him out of the sheer fear of what he would do to them if they do not. Hence, the one quality that Joker has in common with Batman is the very intimidating presence that he commands, which gives Joker a tough and bold attitude. The Joker does not fear death and will even threaten his own life to achieve his goal or make a point.

Suicide Squad informatics Part 03: Deadshot

Floyd Lawton, better known as Deadshot, is an international assassin, and one of the world's best sharpshooters. An expert marksman and an outstandding assassin for hire, he enjoys hunting down his kill and prefers working alone. Despite all this, Floyd is a conflicted criminal who wants to do right by his daughter Zoe, whom Amanda Waller uses to exploit the gunman into joining their mission.

Abilities
Floyd Lawton has incredible precision and is highly skilled with long range weaponry, such as snipers. Lawton's proficiency is also slightly enhanced due to the use of his eye scope. In addition, Floyd is a skilled hand-to-hand fighter.

Personality
Deadshot is portrayed as a consummate professional; as long as he's been paid to kill someone, he will always carry it out, without exceptions. Despite his sarcastic, tough attitude, he cares deeply for his daughter, keeping a picture of her with him throughout his time as a convict and as an assassin.


Equipment
Eye-Piece: One of Floyd's signature trademarks is the high-tech eye-piece that he wears over his face mask, on his dominant left eye. This eye-piece augments his already amazing marksman skills, and when combined with his sniper rifle's scope, makes it almost impossible for him to miss his target.

Deadshot Suit: When in the field on an assignment with Task Force X, Floyd always dons a bulletproof red-and-black vest and body suit, with many holsters, containing various firearms at all times.

Wrist Guns: Floyd is armed with wrist mounted, gauntlet like firearms, which are the equivalent of sub machine guns in terms of firepower. They have trigger buttons on the hand, fire magnum and high caliber bullets and even ejects bullet shells like normal guns. He uses them in close combat along with his rifles and pistols.

Salient Arms International Tier One AR-15: Floyd's primary weapon of choice is the use of an AR-15 assault rifle, modified with a scope an vertical hand grip.

Modified Glock 17: Floyd's sidearm is a heavily modified Glock 17, with a compensator and red dot sight.
