Suicide Squad: Ranking All 11 Characters Revealed So Far

Considering how much of an acquired taste Slipknot is as a character - his powers being restricted to the ability to make really strong rope isn't exactly Superman-esque, now is it? - you could be forgiven for thinking Warner Bros. might over-compensate.

In the comics, Slipknot has typically looked fairly flamboyant, complete with lucha-like mask and more recently with metal augmentations on his arms. To see him effectively dressed as a background Expendables character is something of a shame, and it feels very much like he's already carrying a Dead Meat card.

And those ropes hanging from his belt don't look particularly special: perhaps he's just being reinvented as a special ops grunt. With a gigantic modernised musket.
