Rogues (comics)

Rogues (comics)

:"This article is about a specific group of comic-book villains. For other uses of the term "rogues", see Rogue."Although they tend to lack the wider name recognition of the villains who oppose Batman and Superman, the enemies of The Flash — through their unique blend of colorful costumes, diverse powers, unusual abilities, and perhaps most notably, the lack of any one defining element or theme between them — form a distinctive rogues gallery. Some of the Flash's nemeses, led by Captain Cold, constitute a loose criminal association who refer to themselves as the Rogues, disdaining the use of the term "super-villain" or "super-criminal."

ilver Age Flash enemies

The Silver Age of Comics is when the enemies of the Flash started to use the name Rogues. Originally, the Rogues were just the Flash enemies teaming together, but since then they have formed a lasting group, and usually a Rogue will never commit a crime by himself. The Silver Age Flash enemies who were Rogues were Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Heat Wave, Weather Wizard, the Trickster, Pied Piper, the Top and Captain Boomerang. These villains battled the second Flash Barry Allen and the third and fourth after the death of Allen.

In chronological order (with issue and date of first appearance).For other villains who are not Rogues, see List of Flash enemies.
