The Rogues is a group of criminals operating in Central City led by Ryan Wilder operating as Red Death.
History[]
The Rogues were formed by an alternate version of Ryan Wilder from Earth-4125, known as Red Death, in her mission to take down the Flash from Earth-Prime. First, she tasked Owen Mercer/Captain Boomerang with stealing the battery from a Roemer Accelerator belonging to Kord Industries and Andrea Wozzeck/the Fiddler to steal the sonic gauntlets from Hartley Rathaway/Pied Piper to regain her physical body.[1][2] She later tasked Mercer, Wozzeck and Michelle Amar/Murmur with breaking into Corbin Taft Industries and stealing a temporal scanner to build a Cosmic Treadmill. The Red Death then contacted Mark Blaine and asked him to join the Rogues, to which Blaine agreed on the condition that he could bring the late Frost back to life.
Red Death later tasked the Rogues with stealing the last component for the treadmill, a quantum vibration engine located at the DOD research facility. Still, the Flash created the Rogue Squad to get the engine before her team could. Blaine was one of Barry's "Rogues" who betrayed the squad immediately after the hero got the engine. Entering the base, Mercer fought Goldface, Amar fought Pied Piper, and Wozzeck fought the Hotness. While both teams of rogues were fighting, Red Death showed up, disabled the Flash's speed, rushed her team away and took them back to their lair. When Blaine threatened to walk away from the group, claiming that they didn't even know her identity, she unmasked herself and told Mark that she was "vengeance".[3]
