A Brief Look at DC Supervillain Group ‘The Rogues’
In DC’s Flash comic series, a loose group of criminals who called themselves ‘The Rogues’ have frequently had a face-off with the speedsters in his various incarnations. However, unlike other supervillains, this group has a code of conduct that does not accept psychotic behaviors that most supervillains tend to have such as the Reverse-Flash.
The team members include the Weather Wizard, Golden Glider, Top, Captain Boomerang, Mirror Master, etc. And with that attitude, instead of calling themselves supervillains, they prefer the title of ‘The Rogues’.
