Villain Overview
It started with just one of them. Each had their own manmade gimmick, but they were all blue-collar criminals. Salt-of-the-earth kinda guys. Alone they would commit a daring robbery in Central City... and I'd catch them every time. Then one day they had the idea to attack me all at once and call themselves... The Rogues!
~ Flash

The Rogues, also known as the Rogues Gallery (or Rogues' Gallery), is a criminal organization made of up criminals and supervillains in DC Comics who are the enemies of the Flash. It is founded and led by Captain Cold. They are one of the main antagonists of the Flash franchise, alongside Gorilla Grodd and Professor Zoom.


The second Flash had a wide array of colorful villains who frequently matched wits with the Scarlet Speedster individually. However, it was not until Captain Cold and Trickster escaped prison on the same day to commit the same crime, the robbery of a charity function sponsored by the Picture News, that any of them ever worked together.

Although they initially had no intention of combining forces, they found that they made a good team, especially since they were facing not only one, but two Flashes, as Jay Garrick had briefly come out of retirement. Although the two were able to elude capture initially, they were eventually lured into a trap by the two speedsters, playing on their desire for wealth. Thus began a series of frequent partnerships among the Flash's foes, who would come to be known as the Rogues Gallery.

During the Final Crisis, the Rogues are one of an extremely select few groups of people who have chosen not to enlist with Libra in his Secret Society of Super-Villains. They cite as their reason that the villain community did not help them out during the events of "Full Throttle", and so accordingly are not going to help the villain community. They have announced plans to retire, although beforehand they wish to murder Inertia for betraying them and making them seem a disgrace to the world at large. To counter the Rogues, Libra formed a new group of Rogues, whom the Rogues subsequently eliminated. They finally have their meeting with Inertia, who kills Weather Wizard's infant son, and proclaims himself "Kid Zoom". The Rogues then murder Kid Zoom by attacking him all at once. Libra then revealed why he needed the Rogues in the Secret Society: Barry Allen has returned from the dead. Shocked that Allen is alive, the Rogues decide not to disband, not only because they do not want to appear like quitters to Allen, but also because they know that Allen would not just let them walk away.

In the animated movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, the Rouges are hired by Professor Zoom to kill Flash at the Flash museum. In the end Flash is trapped by one of Captain Boomerang's traps. Zoom then reveals that he planted very powerful bombs on all of the Rouges belts that would blow up if they take them off. However the Justice League is able to defuse the bombs and Zoom is captured. In the alternate universe a heroic Captain Cold fights Captain Boomerang and Flash thinks that it is a power stuggle in the Rouges.
