Publication history
Warp first appeared in The New Teen Titans #14 (December 1981) and was created by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman.[1]
Fictional character biography
The origin of Emil LaSalle is unknown. He is a French supervillain who previously fought Phantasmo and Fleur-de-Lis prior to being approached by the Brain, Monsieur Mallah, and Phobia to join the Brotherhood of Evil.[2] At first, Warp refused but, after being attacked by Captain Toulon and trapped on Earth-11, Warp changed his mind and joined the group.[3]
In "Infinite Crisis", Warp appears as a member of Alexander Luthor Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains.[4] He is seen working with Doctor Psycho to free Doomsday from captivity near the center of the Earth.[5] During One Year Later, Warp returns to the Brotherhood of Evil.[6]
In "Salvation Run", Warp is among the villains who are exiled to another planet.[7] Lex Luthor uses him, among other villains, as a component in a teleportation device and was killed when it self-destructed, taking out the approaching Parademons.[8]
In 2011 "The New 52" rebooted the DC universe. Warp appears as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil. He, Phobia, and Plasmus appear as enemies of Blue Beetle, seeking to take his scarab.[9]
During the "Forever Evil" storyline, Warp is among the villains recruited by the Crime Syndicate to join the Secret Society of Super Villains.[10]
In "Year of the Villain", Joker captures Warp, tortures him, and uses Mad Hatter's technology to control him. Joker has Warp rescue a beaten Lex Luthor before having him commit suicide someplace where nobody can find him.[11]
Warp is later revived and joins the Suicide Squad.[12]
Powers and abilities
Warp can open warp portals between any two locations of his choosing. However, overuse of this ability exhausts him. He can also fly.
