”Got a cold front headed your way, Flash. The baddest men in town want those big red long johns as a trophy, and guess what? It’s Rogue Time, baby....”
Founded by Leonard Snart, the infamous “Captain Cold”, the Central City Rogues Gallery is an exclusive club of gadget wielding and meta-human criminals. Each member was hand selected by Captain Cold from prior clashes with the Flash, founding members include the likes of Roscoe Dillon - the Top, Albert Desmond - Doctor Alchemy, and Citizen Abra - Abra Kadabra, amongst many more. At first, the Rogues were merely a loose band of Flash haters, but overtime Leonard Snart came to find a sophistication in their methods which put them above common hoods and serial maniacs. They aren’t mobsters, they are supervillains. But they also aren’t depraved lunatics like @reverseflash - the Reverse Flash or psychotic despots like Gorilla Grodd. The Rogues Gallery has standards, a moral compass which puts them above scuzbag creeps like Murmur or Cicada. Other groups have tried to copy Snart’s basic premise of unionizing bad guys... All of them fall flat, because the key thing they all lack are the Rogue Rules. These central tenets are the gang’s governing body, and its because of these rules that the Rogues truly stand out amongst costumed lunatics in Gotham and intergalactic tyrants in Metropolis. Some rules are more guidelines and some are more lenient than others. Ultimately its Leonard Snart who enforces them, but even when he’s AWOL the group subscribes to his way of thinking.
1. Leonard Snart’s word is law.
2. No killing “capes”. Killing a superhero or vigilante attracts far too much heat.
3. No killing women or children.
4. No using drugs, it screws with your head. Rogues need to be alert and on the straight and narrow. Alcohol and Tobacco are perfectly acceptable.
5. Avoid killing cops or civilians.
6. The Rogues are a family, and there’s nothing more important than family.
7. Rogues watch each other’s backs, no matter the cost.
8. Once a Rogue always a Rogue.
9. Killing another Rogue is unacceptable. See rule 12.
10. Never take advantage of the sick or needy.
11. No dealing drugs or dealing with gangsters, unless it’s a fence.
12. An eye for an eye, revenge is acceptable and so is self defense. This can be an exception for rule 9.
Most villains don’t take the Rogues Gallery seriously. With all the goofy names and colorful equipment, they fit right at home as z-listers, but
Roster: This is the current acting roster on site. Note: even when Leonard Snart is not an active player, he is leader of the team by virtue of the groups loyalty and the morals he set in place.

Ex-Rogues: Rule number 8: Once a Rogue always a Rogue. Whether you’re dead or just plan hate the groups’ guts, once you’re in, you’re in for life. You can go your own way, sure, but it won’t stop them from showing up on your doorstep. Even when you betray the family, you’re still a rogue, and you’ll be buried and mourned in Avernus as family. You live a Rogue, you die a Rogue. Rule 8.
