5	[[folder:In General]]
6	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Comes up quite a bit. While the team projects the appearance of being blue collar criminals who only got together for survival and actually kind of hate each other, each team member has gone out of their way numerous times to help another when it didn't benefit them.
7	* DysfunctionJunction: Everyone, aside from James Jesse, has... severe issues, to say the least. None of them seemed to have a happy home life.
8	* EvenEvilHasStandards: In fact, there are actual rules that Cold set in place. While they're mostly to avoid getting too much attention, some are still the standard version of the trope. the rules are:
9	** It's about the money. So jobs that lead to ruling the world and such are generally turned down by the team.
10	** Don't kill a cop, if it can be avoided. Cop killers get more attention from superheroes and police.
11	** Never kill a cape, but especially speedsters. For the same reasons as above.
12	** No drugs. It messes with their heads and leads to mistakes.
13	* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Well, a dysfunctional family, but generally they act as each other's family. It helps that none of them are really close with their own, non-supervillain families.
14	* NotSoHarmlessVillain: It's easy to dismiss the Rogues because of their goofy names and gimmicks, but that would be a big mistake. As Flash himself has pointed out in the past, the Rogues aren't just a bunch of villains who each have their own sometimes silly-seeming gimmicks. They're Central City's version of the ''Mafia'' with their own sometimes silly-seeming gimmicks.
15	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Probably the most famous and popular example in the DCU. Played with, as they do like to invoke NotSoHarmlessVillain.
16	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The team has constant infighting and get on each other's nerves, but they work very well with each other.

22
23	Leonard Snart is the ruthless and intelligent leader of the Rogues, a criminal team operating in Central City, and wields a cold gun during the commission of their crimes as Captain Cold.
24	----
25	* AbusiveParents: His father was a violent drunk who regularly beat him, his mother, and his sister.
26	* AdaptationalSexuality: Captain Cold is straight in the comic books and other adaptations. In Earth-27 he's gay similar to his Citizen Cold counterpart.
27	* AlliterativeFamily: With his younger sister, '''L'''isa.
28	* BadassNormal: Other than his cold gun, he has no powers.
29	* BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective of his sister Lisa and fellow Rogues.
30	* BrotherSisterTeam: With Lisa Snart/The Top.
31	* CaptainSuperhero: While a supervillain, he uses the Captain as a moniker. An actual Captain, Captain Atom, is not amused.
32	* CompositeCharacter: His costume and appearance is taken straight of his ''Arrowverse'' portrayal. He's also a composite of Citizen Cold, his Earth-X counterpart who's also gay.
33	* DeadpanSnarker: Commonly. Snart can't resist taking the piss out of anyone and everyone he comes across, especially if that person happens to be Barry. He becomes arguably the biggest snarker in a group already filled to the brim with them.
34	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's practically the poster child for this trope.
35	* FireIceDuo: With Rory.
36	* FreezeRay: His signature Cold Gun. It's really supposed to slow down molecules, the ice is a side effect. In his words, it's a cold gun, not an ice gun; his gun slows molecules to absolute zero, while Mister Freeze's just shoots ice.
37	* GlassCannon: He's not a metahuman, so he's just as vulnerable as a typical human being. However, his extremely high offensive powers thanks to his Cold Gun more than make up for this.
38	* MoralityChain: Thanks to him Heat Wave is less volatile and dangerous.
39	* NeverHurtAnInnocent: Refuses to kill innocent bystanders or those not involved in his business.
40	* NobleDemon: He may be a criminal with sociopathic tendencies, but he doesn't kill women or children and makes his co-workers to do the same.
41	* WorthyOpponent: To Barry.

47
48	A deranged criminal with a fixation with fire and Leonard Snart's long-time partner in crime.
49	----
50	* BadassNormal: Much like Snart, Rory has no powers besides his heat gun.
51	* CompositeCharacter: His costume and appearance is taken straight of his ''Arrowverse'' portrayal.
52	* TheDragon: Frequently fills this role for Captain Cold.
53	* FireIceDuo: With Snart.
54	* HairTriggerTemper: Has a very short fuse. Although Captain Cold has helped him become less explosive.
55	* KillItWithFire: He's a criminal that possesses a flamethrower.
56	* OddFriendship: With Snart, Mick's HotBlooded nature and pyromania is often a SpannerInTheWorks for Snart's carefully planned heists. Snart in turn, often keeps him LockedOutOfTheLoop and there's not a lot of respect on both sides. It's surprising that they work together and haven't killed each other for one reason or another.
57	* {{Pyromaniac}}: Just like fellow fire-using criminal Firefly, he loves to burn things.
58	* SelfMadeOrphan: Burned down his childhood home while his family was still inside. Not of malicious intent; he just couldn't help it.
59	* TattooedCrook: His arms and knuckles have flame tattoos.
60	* TragicVillain: He's legitimately mentally ill and has sought out psychiatric help, but all the therapy he takes has made no progress in curbing his impulses to start fires.
61	* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Captain Cold rub each other the wrong way. They also work well together on missions, and while Cold isn't above taking advantage of Heat Wave, is also protective and concerned over Rory's mental health.

64	[[folder:Captain Boomerang (George "Digger" Harkness)]]
65	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captain_boomerang_earth_27.jpg]]
66	[[caption-width-right:250:[[labelnote:Click for Civilian Look]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/george_harkness.jpg]][[/labelnote]]
67
68	A cowardly and pragmatic mercenary/regular Task Force X member who wields razor-sharp, cybernetic boomerangs. Hated by his fellow Rogues due to being a DirtyCoward and {{Jerkass}} of the utmost extreme.
69	----
70	* AwesomeAussie: He is one of the most thorough Deconstructions of this trope imaginable.
71	* BattleBoomerang: Is an expert at the combat uses of Boomerangs.
72	* TheBogan: The guy lives by this trope, despite being only half-Australian.
73	* BoxedCrook: His lengthy run with the Suicide Squad.
74	* CaptainEthnic: Of the Australian variety. Other Australians hate him for giving Australia a bad name.
75	* CaptainSuperhero: ''Captain'' Boomerang is a "bad guy" example, obviously, but otherwise he fits. Unlike Snart, he really achieved the rank of Captain while in the army, instead of just choosing the moniker.
76	* CombatPragmatist: Not at all afraid to use any dirty tactic available to him.
77	* EmbarrassingNickname: "Boomerbutt," from Amanda Waller and eventually the rest of the Suicide Squad.
78	* EthnicScrappy: He is this InUniverse. Nobody, even his fellow Australians, seems to like him.
79	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Neither the other Rogues nor the Suicide Squad particularly like him.
80	* {{Jerkass}}: Even the other Rogues don't like him much — not because he's evil, just because he's a colossal dick.
81	* LaughablyEvil: He may be a total bastard in every sense of the word, but he escapes being a HateSink by being completely hilarious.
82	* LetsGetDangerous: He's ordinarily useless in combat as a member of the Suicide Squad, but only because he's utterly uninterested in helping out and an utter coward to boot. Put his life on the line, though, and as Amanda Waller put it, he'll "fight like hell to get out of it," and quite successfully at that.
83	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: He only became '''more''' attracted to Calendar Girl after learning she inspired three serial killers.
84	* SignatureHeadgear: He wears a beanie with a boomerang on it.
85	* TattooedCrook: He also has a boomerang tattoo on the right side of his neck.

87
88	[[folder:The Top (Lisa Snart)]]
89	Lisa is a member of the Rogues and the sister of the infamous Captain Cold.
90	----
91	* BattleTops: Her weapon of choice. Has a wide variety of tops with different effects.
92	* BrotherSisterTeam: With Leonard Snart/Captain Cold.
93	* CompositeCharacter: Golden Glider is combined with Roscoe Dillon, the original The Top.
94	* SpectacularSpinning: Her powers all work through spinning herself around and around at Super Speed.
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:The Trickster (James Jesse)]]
98	The Trickster is a criminal mastermind who uses a deadly joke-bag of tricks to pull off his crimes.
99	----
100	* AlliterativeName: And he has TwoFirstNames. One of his aliases is '''Gi'''ovanni '''Gi'''useppe.
101	* BreakingTheFourthWall: On occasion.
102	* ConMan: His preferred role. He much prefers being a showman to actual fighting.
103	* ImprobableWeaponUser: When he starts pulling toys out of his pockets, you'll want to duck.
104	* KillerYoYo: Has included yo-yos in his arsenal.
105	* TheMentor: He and his partner Zoey Clark/Prank served as mentors for Axel Walker.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Pied Piper (Hartley Rathaway)]]
109	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite their complicated relationship, he still cares about his sister Izzy. He and the Rogues even broke her out of prison and let her be with them.
110	* DisabilitySuperpower: He was born deaf and got implants that gave him enhanced hearing.
111	* GadgeteerGenius: He invented his weapons and force-field gadgets.
112	* HandicappedBadass: He might be deaf, but he's one of the smartest among the Flash's rogues.
113	* LivingLieDetector: His enhanced hearing can work as a lie detector if he focuses on one's heart beat.
114	* MagicMusic: His main power.
115	* MakeSomeNoise: Rathaway employs a number of devices that can generate or amplify sound for destructive purposes.
116	* MindControlMusic: He can control people with his music from his sophisticated flute capable of hypnotizing anyone within range of its sound.
117	* MissingMom: His mother Rachel Rathaway died giving birth to his younger sister Izzy. This left him with complicated feelings towards his half-sister.
118	* RelatedInTheAdaptation: His step-father is Isaac Bowin, and his half-sister is Izzy Bowin, the current Fiddler.
119	* SiblingYinYang: He's deaf and had no interest in music, while his sister always had a good ear for playing and music.
120	* StraightGay: Pied Piper was this way when he first came out, completely shocking Flash with the revelation of his sexuality.
121	* TwoferTokenMinority: Disabled and Gay.
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Mirror Master (Evan [=McCulloch=])]]
125	* DrugsAreBad: Suffers from a cocaine addiction, and deals it on the side.
126	* MagicMirror: He can do absolutely anything with mirrors, mostly involving teleportation and making reflections solid.
127	* SwissArmySuperpower: The things he can do with his "magic mirrors" seem almost unlimited, up to creating entire mirror universes.
128	* ViolentGlaswegian: He's a Scottish man who has been established as one of the most amoral and ruthless members of the Rogues.
129	[[/folder]]
130
131	[[folder:Weather Witch (Marcia Mardon)]]
132	* AlliterativeName: '''Mar'''cia '''Mar'''don.
133	* CompositeCharacter: Her codename comes from a minor character who inherited the Weather Wand from the original Wizard.
134	* CutLexLuthorACheck: Lampshaded. Clyde wanted to use the weather wand to help people and aid in the growth of crops, a very profitable pursuit. Marcia, being an unimaginative goon who likes the thrill of committing crimes, saw no real use for it beyond furthering her criminal activities.
135	* GenderFlip: From Mark in the comics to Marcia here.
136	* JackOfAllTrades: Has tremendous overlap with the other Rogues in terms of powers, but rarely the level of finesse with them.
137	* MagicFeather: Her Weather Wand eventually became this to her.
138	* WeatherControlMachine: Her weather wand.
139	[[/folder]]
140
141	[[folder:Peek-a-Boo (Lashawn Baez)]]
142	* BlessedWithSuck: Her power would be pretty cool, if it didn't blow everything to hell each time she used it.
143	* LogicalWeakness: She can only teleport to locations she can see. If she can't then there's nowhere to go.
144	* {{Teleportation}}: Her main ability.
145	* TeleportersVisualizationClause: She can only teleport to places she can see.
146	[[/folder]]
147
148	[[folder:Magenta (Frances "Frankie" Kane)]]
149	* CantStayNormal: Even when she tries to live life without using her insanity-causing powers, situations arise that force her to use them and risk going mad.
150	* ExtraOreDinary: Technically, she's actually using magnetic field manipulations.
151	* TheMentallyDisturbed: Magenta really is mentally ill and could seriously use some therapy, but her violent mood swings and powers make it incredibly difficult for her to get treatment.

157
158	Alexander Lazlo "Axel" Walker is a TricksterGod, self-proclaimed son of Rose Walker, and member of the Rogues.
159	----
160	* AchillesHeel: Like all Daimons he's weak to adamant.
161	* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics Axel only had his intelligence and gimmicks, but here he has all the powers of a trickster Daimon.
162	* AdaptationalSexuality: Like his parents, he's bisexual while in the comics he was apparently heterosexual.
163	* AdaptationDyeJob: In the comics, Axel's costume was yellow and blue, but here it's purple and yellow. Also, Axel's hair is part brown, part blonde, while in the comics he was fully blonde.
164	* AdaptationNameChange: Since Jesse is still active as the Trickster, Axel goes by The Knave instead.
165	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In comics he was human, but here he's a Daimon.
166	* ArtificialFamilyMember: Sort of. He came into existence due to a psychic link between a nameless Daimon and Rose Walker, so he considers himself her son.
167	* BitchSlap: On the receiving end of several of them by Ivy and Ellie for being disrespectful to them.
168	* DelinquentHair: He's a Delinquent Daimon and has the hairstyle to match.
169	* MasterOfIllusion: He's very good at casting strong illusions.
170	* OddJobGods: Self-proclaimed God of Fun & Toys.
171	* PurpleIsPowerful: His costume is mostly purple and yellow, and he's a trickster god with plenty of skill and resources.
172	* SiblingRivalry: He clearly has developed a rivalry with his (sort-of) sisters Ivy Walker and Ellie [=MacKay=].
173	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks a lot like his mother Rose Walker and his imaginary father Charlie Parker.
174	* SweetTooth: He has a ranging sweet tooth, but is especially fond of lemonade and anything flavored hazelnut, vanilla, or caramel. He also loves anything and everything baked by Rose Walker, even if it's inedible to most folk.
175	* TokenNonHuman: He's a Daimon in a team of humans and meta-humans.
176	* TheTrickster: Besides being the codename of his mentor, he's also a Trickster god.
177	* TricksterGod: True trickster gods are often paradoxical. They often exist without a reason to do so and can die multiple times only to cheat Death and return to life without much ill-effect. They claim they do so because the cosmic balance of the universe requires their brand of chaos to counteract all the laws and order which surround us.
178	* WeaksauceWeakness: Apparently [=@Four_Eyes=]/Velma Dinkley thinks he may be able to be contained by dousing him with bleach or trapping him in a circle of bleach.
