The Flash
Operating as a mugger in a park, Papercut is confronted first by Kid Flash, whom he nearly defeats, and then by the Flash, by whom he is defeated. He is taken by the Flash to Iron Heights, and imprisoned there. He becomes increasingly vocal about the time of the Rogues having passed, and attempts to install himself as the new criminal mastermind in Central City. He is confronted and beaten by Captain Cold when the latter is returned to prison.

Papercut has the ability to control wood and wood-based products. He finds it painful to control wood on a grand scale, and typically uses his powers to create razor-sharp paper weapons. He is pretty good at origami.

Papercut often carries paper which he folds into stars and sharpens with his powers into weaponry.
