Fictional character biography

Emil LaSalle 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. At first, Warp refuses. After being attacked by Captain Toulon and trapped on Earth-11, Warp changes his mind and joins the Brotherhood.

In "Infinite Crisis", Warp appears as a member of Alexander Luthor Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains. He is seen working with Doctor Psycho to free Doomsday from captivity near the center of the Earth. During One Year Later, Warp returns to the Brotherhood of Evil.

In "Salvation Run", Warp is among the villains who are exiled to another planet. Lex Luthor uses him, among other villains, as a component in a teleportation device. Warp is killed when the device self-destructs, taking out the approaching Parademons.

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.

During the "Forever Evil" storyline, Warp is among the villains recruited by the Crime Syndicate to join the Secret Society of Super Villains.

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.

Warp is later revived and joins the Suicide Squad.
