Powers/Abilities, Weaknesses, and Equipment:
Nathan is a Delta Level Mutant, whose's Mutant Power has the power to create a personal protective field that provides fairly good pro tection from all attacks. The force field has unique frictionless properties that make it impossible for anyone to hold on to him. Therefore, Slipknot cannot be grabbed or entangled and can move at moderate speeds by "skating" on the force field across the ground. The energy field disperses kinetic energy from impacts, such as great falls, as well as from energy projections, like beam weapons. If Slip concentrates, he can extend his force field to protect others in his immediate area. Even more concentration, and he can encase objects and people in the force fields for a temporary time, but exhausting him greatly.

Nathan's costume is provided by SHIELD, Although the Goggles were provided by Xavier's Mansion. The Costume's Fairly Durable, but will get damaged from extremely powerful punches and/or energy-based attacks, like beam attacks. The Goggles are to shield his eyes from the friction of speed he retains whilst skating in his Force Field.

He usually tires at a point, Getting a migraine from both physical and mental efforts, and drops the force field, leaving openings for enemies to attack him. The force field can easily break with enough direct force applied, having been overloaded with enough kinetic energy it can take.
