Rogues (group)

The Rogues is a legacy name used by several groups of criminals operating in Central City.

To date there have been three iterations of the Rogues; the original rogues led by Leonard Snart, the New Rogues composed of Sam Scudder and Rosa Dillon, and the Young Rogues led by Nora West-Allen.

Original Rogues
The first iteration of the Rogues was formed by Leonard Snart in his crusade to take down The Flash, after the superhero thwarted one of his heists. The first member he recruits is his partner in crime Mick Rory, with both of them brandishing a pair of high-tech weapons, the Cold Gun and Heat Gun respectively.

The Rogues make their first move by challenging Flash to a public battle in order to expose his existence. They do so by kidnapping Caitlin Snow and holding her hostage unless The Flash reveals himself. The Flash does indeed show and engages the two criminals in battle, eventually defeating them by making the beams of their weapons cross and cancelling them out. Although he gets defeated, Snart is delighted at the battle and promises he'll do better next time. Both criminals are arrested, but on route of being transported to prison they get broken out by Lisa Snart.

With Lisa Snart now recruited by her brother into the group, the Rogues set about reacquiring their weapons after they were confiscated during their last battle with The Flash. To do so, Lisa seduces Cisco Ramon at a bar and lures him to a manor where the other Rogues are houses. Leonard instructs Cisco to recreate their signature weapons by holding Cisco's brother Dante Ramon hostage, along with fashioning a new gun for his sister. Once having their weapons returned to them, Leonard proceeds to use the Cold Gun to freeze Dante's fingers in order to press Cisco to reveal The Flash's secret identity. Later when the Rogues are in the midst of robbing a truck, Barry arrives and whisks Leonard away for a talk. After several attempts to get Snart to either cease his criminal activity or move somewhere else, Barry insults Snart's pride by telling him if he was really that skilled he wouldn't need to hurt anyone. It is also here that Barry refers to Snart's group as a "Rogues Gallery" for the first time, which Snart takes a liking for. Snart promises that his secret identity was safe with him before Barry departs.

Needing help to transport the metahuman criminals incarcerated in the pipeline, Barry recruits Snart to assist him. Snart agrees in exchange for Barry to retrieve all records that the police have on him as well as wiping any files from their database. However despite Barry upholding his end of the deal, Snart betrays Barry by sabotaging the power dampner that was suppressing the metahumans' powers and allows them to break out. A battle ensues between Team Flash and the escaped metahumans, before Snart intervenes and kills Jake Simmons with the Cold Gun before he could kill Barry. Introducing himself to the escaped metahumans, Snart insists they all go their separate ways but to remember that they owed him one. Barry asks Snart why he did this, to which he crudely remarks it was in his nature as a criminal and it was Barry's fault for misplacing his trust. He also chides that the escaped metahumans were now potential additions to his Rogues Gallery and he soon departs telling Barry that he owed him one too for saving his life.

The Rogues briefly appear in a dream sequence where The Flash defeats them with assistance from Firestorm.

Lisa Snart approaches Team Flash and informs them that Leonard Snart has been kidnapped, requesting their help in getting him back. Barry discovers that Leonard has been held captive by his own father, Lewis Snart, and is cooperating due to a bomb implanted in his sister. To save Lisa's life, Barry poses as a technician and works with the Snarts to pull off a heist to stall for time while Team Flash helped remove the bomb. When Cisco manages to extract the bomb, Barry informs Leonard who in turn kills his father. Lisa thanks Team Flash for helping them, even though Leonard ends up getting incarcerated in Iron Heights.

Mark Mardon breaks Leonard Snart out of Iron Heights, to return the favor from last year, along with Jesse James. Mardon reasons that joined forces the three of them would finally be able to defeat the Flash. However, Snart is reluctant to go with the plan due to the Flash having saved the life of his sister not to long ago. Instead of joining the two other villains, Snart ends up going to Barry's house and warns Barry personally. Mardon and Jesse end up pulling off the evil scheme on their own, with Jesse handing out presents to kids rigged with bombs while Mardon lures the Flash over. Holding the kids of Central City hostage, the two villains force The Flash to stand there and get beaten up without retaliation. However, Team Flash manage to locate one of the bombs and using it to attract the rest of them into a portal vibed up by Cisco. With all the innocent lives now safe, The Flash incapacitates the two villains and throws them back into Iron Heights.

New Rogues
It's revealed that on the night of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion, Sam Scudder and Rosa Dillon had a falling out with Snart's gang. However just as Snart tries to kill the two, the wave of dark matter reaches them and turns the two criminals into metahumans, with Scudder being trapped in a mirror. Three years later, Scudder finally escapes confinement with the metahuman power to travel through mirrors. At first Scudder was interested in getting revenge on Snart, where he proceeds to break Dillon out of Iron Heights, who is now also a metahuman and has the power to induce vertigo. However after being informed that Snart had long since gone they instead focus on robbing banks where an altercation with the Flash led to the speedster being trapped in a mirror. Upon finally figuring out how Scudder's powers worked, The Flash aided by Jesse Quick take on the pair of criminals. The Flash manages to use several mirrors to create an infinite reflective loop to trap Scudder, while Jesse overcomes Dillon's vertigo powers and knocks her out. The New Rogues are then incarcerated in Iron Heights unable to escape.

The New Rogues are still active in 2024, having broken out of prison and taken advantage of the disappearance of the Flash to treat Central City as their playground. When 2017 Barry runs forward through time and arrives, he has a run-in with the New Rogues who are amused that he's wearing his old suit. 2017 Barry later finds the older Barry of 2024 and convinces him to put on the suit again and dispose of the New Rogues. With the two Flashes teamed up, the New Rogues are quickly dispatched.
