Films
- In Suicide Squad, Slipknot appeared in the setting of the live-action film set in the DC Extended Universe where he was portrayed by actor Adam Beach. Slipknot joined Task Force X in the evacuation point outside of Midway City, shortly before they are to fly out to their destination. He is forced out of a car and is verbally slurred at by a woman in the vicinity whom he promptly punched in the face. He was briefly introduced by Rick Flag who mentions his prowess with rope work. Task Force X is given instructions by Amanda Waller that, under the command of Colonel Rick Flag, they are to extract HVT-1 from Midway City in exchange for time taken off their prison sentences. The team equips their old uniforms and weapons before flying in a helicopter to the besieged city. Soon after crash landing in Midway City, Slipknot was marching through the streets with his fellow members of Task Force X. Captain Boomerang walked up to him and told him that the team is just being played by Flag and Waller and that the whole "bomb in the neck crap" speech was just psychological manipulation. He told Slipknot that he was planning on escaping and asked if he'd join him, which he did. Suddenly, Boomerang and Slipknot attacked some of the soldiers to escape, and after breaking one soldier's neck, Slipknot managed to shoot a rope to a nearby rooftop. However, he was too slow and Flag noticed and detonated the nano-bomb in Slipknot's neck, instantly decapitating him and leaving his body hanging from a building by one of his ropes.
