So, this latest Flash
episode featured the first major super villain team-up of the show. This is something that’s been building
for Flash for a long time, mainly
because in the comics Flash’s bad guys work together all the time. Villain team-ups have always been a
special event within comics but the Flash’s foes, nicknamed the Rogues, have
always been unique amongst them.
Part of this comes from most of the Rogues having low level powers,
compared to how indomitable Flash’s super speed powers are. Really though, what binds the Rogues
together is that they’re unique amongst comic book villains. Most bad guys are psychotic killers
like Batman fights or megalomaniacs like Superman battles, the Rogues are all
just common criminals, crooks trying to get by. Given that Flash
is dedicated to slowly introducing more and more of the Rogues, I figured now
would be a good time to do a Guide to the Flash’s Rogues.
