Flash Rogues Appreciation Thread!

Who is your favorite member of the Rogues?

Mine is pretty obvious if you couldn't tell, but my second favorite is probably Gorilla Grodd or Trickster.

[WillieMorgan]

Do we count Thawne and Grodd as Rogues??

They're Flash's rogues but not The Rogues.

Though they don't technically associate with the "Rogues" on a regular basis and Thawne looks down on them, they are technically primary Flash villains so I count them for that reason. If we are being specific to the Rogues family, then I like Weather Wizard and Trickster equally as my first choice.

Fair enough, I was probably being too facetious there.

I'm with you all the way on Thawne who's developed into such a nasty b''tard. The 'Flash' TV trailer had me sold the second young Barry sees a yellow blur in the chaos surrounding his mother's death.

I'm also partial to Captain Cold although the New 52 Leonard is rather a different beast. Mirror Master and the whole Mirror Dimension is a neat concept.

God The Flash is great. Only in comic books...

My favorite is Captain Cold he's awesome and, depending on who's writing him, can be the type of guy you grab a beer with. But after cold I'd have to say Boomerang_mercer.jpg

Captain Boomerang was my second favorite but that could be because growing up I had a strong desire to throw a boomerang at stuff.

What do you think was the best/worst portrayal of the Rogues?

Worst is easily Countdown to Final Crisis. The interaction between Trickster and Pied Piper was awful.

Agreed. It was homophobic garbage. The only high point was Piper blowing up Apokalips by playing Queen.

The Rogues in Bart Allen's Flash series were awful too. Especially their "no killing capes" policy. Ugh.

Best? I liked Rogues Rebellion the best. Rogues Revenge read like a Captain Cold Mary Sue fanfic.

[MetalWoman]

Countdown is best described as great ideas delivered horribly with a few moments of sheer awesomeness.

[Pharozonk]

Probably one of the best:

[The Flash]

I've heard that Superior Foes of Spider-man is basically a Rogues ongoing, but with Spider-man villains.

Yeah I've heard the same thing. I only read the first issue of Superior Foes, not really my thing maybe because I had no idea who they were lol

Probably one of the best:

One of my favorite stories as well

[The Flash]

My favorite flash rogue is definitely Reverse Flash. As for the Rogues, Captain Cold

[PennyDreadful]

So...with the Flash TV series, we're getting Flash Rogue goodness again! Or badness, take your pick.

Captain Cold and Heat Wave are, as I expected, awesome in their villainy. Love psycho Heat Wave.

And Piper has appeared. PIPER! Can't wait to see more of him.
