The Flash
Spoiler warning forRogues#3
Despite their often idle - hearted depiction , the Flash’siconicRoguesjust turn against each other in a serial publication of barbarous and dark betrayal . The Rogues have been sturdy scoundrel in the Flash kinsfolk of book and across the DC Universe , but they ’ve also been known for their willingness to reform and work with the Flash or else of against him . Now , in an imagined future create for theRoguesmini - series published in theBlack Labelimprint , DC demonstrate its readers what would happen if these goofy villains were just as brutal as villains ought to be .
TheRogues have Silver Age origins , where they ring together for petty robbery and to battle Barry Allen ’s Flash . The roll occasionally interchange , but generally their spirit and camaraderie remains the same : with brilliantly colored costume , they tend to stick to robbery and only vote down when necessary . In theRoguesseries from DC Comics , the team , led by Captain Cold , has band together for one last armed robbery in Gorilla City . Much of the team has retired by choice or requisite , but Cold has convinced them the armed robbery — Gorilla City has a rumour vault of gold — will be worth coming out of retirement .

The heist begin in earnest as ofRogues#3 by Joshua Williamson , Leomacs , Jason Wordie , and Hassan Otsmane - Elhaou , wherein the Rogues get hold of the rumor bank vault and notice a dual splash Sir Frederick Handley Page ’s worth of gold bars . That ’s when matter begin to go wrong . Captain Cold pushes Magenta to the absolute limit of her major power , causing her death . straight off afterwards , as the squad attempts to escape the guards , a Gorilla gorilla guard throttles Mirror Master — who tries to stop Cold and help Magenta — and break his neck . Most brutally , Golden Glider slice the Trickster ’s throat with the blade of her skate when she discovers he ’s kidnap a baby gorilla — who just so happens to be the tiddler of Gorilla Grodd himself .
One could argue that the deaths of Magenta and Mirror Master were not , technically , Captain Cold ’s fault , but Golden Glider without a dubiousness slaying the Trickster , stretching the " only pour down when necessary"Rogues rule to its furthest boundary . Interestingly , Lisa Snart is the Rogue who is the " most reformed " of this particular group , working as a social doer in this new futurity . For her to turn against the cheat is a reliable mark of how brutal thing can get when the rascal work against each other , despite their call to be more like category than a team of powered criminals . Of course , one ofthe thrill of DC’sBlack Labellineis consider creators ' interpretations of these lineament when divorced from dead on target DC canon . Because of that freedom , fans can almost certainly expect more carnage in the next issue ofRogues .
The Rogues might sometimes be like folk to each other , but that mean their betrayal are far more cruel — and , in this suit , bloody . The team has lost three of their own , almost all to each other ’s hand . What this means for the achiever of their stickup — as well as their freedom and their genetic bond — is yet to be see , but the final result of this noir - same Black Label series will certainly containeven more twirl forthe Flash ’s Rogues .
