"Don't worry, Doctor. Everything is as it should be. The stage is set. Worlds will live. Worlds will die. And the universe will never be the same."
—Roger Hayden to John Deegan[src]

Roger Hayden, also known as Psycho Pirate, is an inmate at Arkham Asylum. In a possible future he was an individual connected to the night of the Flash's disappearance in 2024.

Biography

Arkham Asylum

When Oliver Queen and John Diggle found John Deegan, he escaped by opening all inmates' cell doors, creating a distraction. When Roger Hayden got out of the building, he hit Barry with a large candy cane and rode in the car stolen by his accomplice, but was stopped short by Batwoman. Roger was apprehended once more and brought back to his cell.[1]

After John Deegan was admitted in Arkham Asylum, Roger Hayden made friends with him, and he somehow knew and stated that the universe will never be the same.[2]

Possible future

Roger Hayden was involved in the events of 2024, when the Flash battled the Reverse-Flash before disappearing from the timeline. He was arrested afterwards (presumably for criminal activity of some sort), and claimed to have the ability to remember the events of that night in the way they were supposed to happen, while many others have claimed contradicting versions of the events (whether the Flash was assisted by Supergirl and the Atom, or a team of the Green Arrow, Batwoman, and the Elongated Man). Psycho Pirate claimed multiversal awareness, speaking that the crisis event resulted in whole worlds living and dying. The research of his account continued 25 years later.[3]

It is unknown if this timeline still exists, as the date of the event was changed to 2019 when Team Flash destroyed Cicada's dagger.[4] However it is still possible that those events ended up happening the same way.

Personality

"Finally, the inmates are running the asylum."
