Favorite Flash Rogue

[spidervenom]

Whose your favorite flash rouge, mines Mirror Master.

[handOFfate]

Hard to say. Mirror Master has the coolest powers for sure. But my vote goes to Trickster for his appearances in Catwoman and Underworld Unleashed. Oh and in John's Flash pre-Rogue Wars.

Zoom counts as professor zoom and zoom

My apologies then, In all the appearances by Hunter Zoloman, they have just referred to him as Zoom.

I didn't vote, but from the list, it's Kadabra- Doctor Alchemy is my alternate favorite, and the Top is my all time favorite. i like Brother Grimm, too.

[twilight]

Gorilla Grodd.

It doesn't get much better than him.

[Violently Apathetic]

Oh, this is tough for me. I adore Trickster and Piper, and I actually have a soft spot for the former Captain Boomerang (miserable SOB that he was). Mirror Master, Weather Wizard and Kadabra have some awesome powers, for sure. There are actually very few (notable) Flash villains that I don't like...even the Rainbow Raider is fun (Even? ESPECIALLY the Rainbow Raider!). The Top, Grodd...even silly 'how the Hell am I flash villain again?' Murmur has his moments (mostly because I like the stupid mute noises he makes, I'm nothing if not easy to please).

I think I'm going to have to go with Captain Cold though, especially as he was written in Johns' run. I like the idea of him as an almost respectable criminal who knows how to get others to listen to him despite not having very impressive abilities. I thought it was great the way he believed there was some honour in being a Rogue, and I loved his 'duel' with Chillbane and his disposal of Mr. Element. All in all I just think he is a great character.

My favorite Flash villain is probably Zoom, but he's not a Rogue -- he doesn't consider himself one, and none of the Rogues would have him. So I'll go with Piper, the most reluctant of the Rogues. Interesting to see if Waid restores him to the side of the angels during his run.

As a guess, Waid won't be able to do much with Piper until Countdown is done.

I don't really see why Piper counts as a rogue. He was reformed for close to fifteen years in the Flash series, and even in Countdown it seems pretty clear he was undercover. Guggenheim even stated that Piper was trying to save Bart's life. I'd say Trickster and too a lesser extent Heatwave are reluctant rogues. James Jesse should never have been unreformed in the first place (theres really no reason for it), while Mick Rory is an insane pyromaniac who feels bad but is unable to control his demons.

[brundlefly]

I'm torn since I love Mirror Master's powers and gimmick, but I like the character and personality of Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (at least as Johns wrote him) more than that of McCulloch. Eh, I'll flip a coin and go with.... Mirror Master.

No Doctor Alchemy on the poll? Pity. He was awesome in Rucka's Gotham Central "Keystone Kops" arc and he had some cool cameos during Johns' run, even though he didn't get a "Rogue Profile" or the attention that a lot of the other guys did.

[Erebus]

Grodd. Telepathic gorillas are a cornerstone in American literature.

[We R. Venom]

ZOOM, baby. Second comes Grodd. He is a great character.

[nuclearman]

Captain Cold gets my vote just ahead of Mirror Master.

[Hulkamaniac]

Mirror Master is one nasty SOB :evilsmile

[Citizen V]

Zoom,but i would have voted for Mirror Master and Trickster if i could.

[Pokitz]

dude, whats so great about captain cold? hes just a less cool, less german, less sci-fi, version of mr freeze. with a parka. i do agree that wheather wizard sux tho.

[jv2k]

Captain Cold.
He seems to have an honor about the way he works but he is also cold and willing to kill if he has to. He is intelligent and manages to command enough respect to lead the other rogues.

It's about personality and background. Read that Flash one-shot by Johns that revolves around his origin and quest to avenge his sister. Fantastic story.
As for Mr. Freeze...

Animated Freeze > Captain Cold
Comic book Freeze < Captain Cold

[Phoney Bone]

Other: Magenta, the psychotic ex-girlfriend... because I can relate (to be fair to her, she never took it anywhere near Francis Kane levels).


I would have voted for Pied Piper, but he doesn't wear dots on his costume anymore. He ceases to be "pied" and is now just a plain ol' "piper". And that's just silly.

[Walter West]

Up until recently I would have said Captain Cold, but it's hard to call any of them a favorite now that they've murdered Bart.

[Pink Bat Max]

Rainbow Raider!

Okay, really, it's Grodd. But Rainbow Raider's a close second.
