The Flash: Can You Name All His Rogues?

928 Shares

The Flash has some of the zaniest villains in existence. His adversaries as individuals may not have the same name recognition as other super villains. Most of them are not particularly terrifying or smart on their own, and their powers are more silly than destructive. But as a collective, they have created a unique place for themselves in DC's mythos. They are commonly referred to as Flash's Rogues. This includes a society of Flash villains that actually call themselves the Rogues - because they dislike being called villains or criminals. The Rogues hold themselves to high standards and a code of conduct. They refrain from killing and drug usage. There is no greater aspiration to take over the world or destroy the city. Most of their crimes are petty robberies and just figuring out ways to annoy the Scarlet Speedster. In truth, they enjoy the friendship the group provides. The Rogues have made appearances in the Justice League Unlimited animated series as well as the CW's live action show. Then there are other villains of the various men who have been the Flash - Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, and Bart Allen - that are a part of the hero's general rogues gallery. From the Silver Age to the Modern Age - can you name all of these Flash rogues?
