The Rogues

The Rogues is a loose criminal association whose members have opposed various versions of The Flash during their careers.

An unusually social group in comparison to other villain associations, the Rogues maintain a code of conduct as well as high standards for acceptance. Originally, the association came about after Captain Cold and the Trickster escaped prison on the same day to commit the same crime. Although they initially had no intention of combining forces, they found that they made a good team, especially since they were facing two Flashes, Flash (Barry Allen) and Flash (Jay Garrick). Thus began a series of frequent partnerships among the Flash's foes, eventually evolving into a supportive association between the criminals.
