"I look out for me and me alone."
—Norvock[src]


Matthew Norvock[1] is a former henchman of Amunet Black. He was later hunted and nearly killed by Cicada.

Biography

On December 11, 2013, Norvock was working at Central City Zoo. When the particle accelerator explosion shattered all the animal cages, he ended up having to pull an elapid snake off of a kid, and when he got hit by the dark matter, as Norvock put it, he wound up with a snake in his head.[1]

Norvock worked as a henchman for Amunet Black alongside Caitlin Snow, eventually becoming her third favorite henchman after Caitlin and an unnamed individual.[2]

After she attempted to quit, Norvock watched Caitlin when Cisco Ramon came to the bar to convince her to return to Team Flash. Cisco got unnerved by Norvock's attention and told him off. Seeing Caitlin's recognition of Cisco, Norvock left the premises. Later on, Caitlin came back to the bar to tell Norvock that she intended to quit working for Amunet. Norvock refused and tried to intimidate her into staying, grabbing her. Angered, Killer Frost activated her powers and almost killed Norvock by freezing his head, before leaving the scene.[3]

When Caitlin Snow was in attendance at Iris West's bachelorette party, Norvock came to threaten her again, triggering her into using the powers by using his own. Caitlin managed to defeat Norvock easily, throwing him out of a window.

Later Norvock was present when Caitlin, in her Killer Frost persona, came to Amunet Black intending to kill her. Discovering that Norvock started a fight, Amunet was visibly upset with him taking chances.

Norvock was also present when Amunet tried to sell The Weeper to unknown gangsters. He tried to fight Caitlin Snow yet again only to be traumatized by her powers. Taking her leave when Caitlin let her go, Amunet helped Norvock to quit the scene as well.[2]

When Amunet disappeared from the radar, Norvock had become the leader of her criminal organization and made a venom to enhance his tentacle and kill Amunet should she try to reprise her position. When Barry and Team Flash go after him, Norvock poisoned him and Barry barely avoided death by phasing to lose the venom.[4]

Amunet intended to kill him, but Caitlin dissuaded her and argued there was some good in her. Amunet decided to spare him, but cut off his eye tentacle.[4]

After Amunet left Central City, Norvock seemed to form a partnership with Carl Bork. They were attacked by Cicada. During the battle, Bork was able to battle Cicada for a time but was ultimately bested by Cicada and killed. Bork was able to let Norvock escape.

Norvock's name was also on the CCPD meta list which Jones gave to Cicada.

Norvock was later found by Barry Allen, Ralph Dibny and Killer Frost in one of Amunet's old hideouts. He was shown the list and agreed to help Team Flash round up the Meta-humans.

After successfully rounding up the metas, Cicada learned about their location from Officer Jones. The Flash and Killer Frost took on Cicada while Elongated Man and Norvock got the metas onto the Special Services helicopter. He was almost killed by Cicada's dagger but was saved by Elongated Man.

Norvock later gained a new name and identity along with the rest of the metas.

He was the DJ at Killer Frost's birthday party.[5]
