History Characters / ArrowverseTheLegends

* AntiHero: Sara, although fighting for the side of good and having heroic intentions, can be very merciless, having killed the Dollmaker and nearly killing Helen for endangering Laurel. She was also willing to permanently put down Roy when the Mirakuru made him dangerous.

* FlatCharacter: As Chronos, he never demonstrate any real personality of his own, barely ever speaking until TheReveal.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Played with. This is the first known StoryArc where ([[TemporalParadox the]] [[AlternateSelf main]]) Captain Cold is portrayed as one of the main characters, but is a TokenEvilTeammate. In contrast to his Flash Appearances, some of his ignoble characterization has been cut out.

* ExactWords: In exchange for erasing any evidence that he exists, Snart promises Barry that he will help transport the illegally imprisoned metahumans across town and protect Barry if they get loose and try to kill him. He is true to his word. He does help transport the metahumans across town. And he does kill Deathbolt before he can kill a helpless Barry Allen. Snart said nothing, however, about not releasing the imprisoned metahumans himself.

* CelibateHero: She takes quite a while to recover any kind of sexual desire after being resurrected, resulting in an awkward situation when she encourages a closeted lesbian, only to pull back when the woman actually kisses her.

* BadassGay: She's bisexual and a kickass fighter.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Much as he loves Kendra, Ray ultimately steps aside, recognizing that Carter is her soul mate.]]\\

* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodeNames: He is yet to be called Hawkman.

* HesBack: After being killed by Savage in 1975, he reincarnates in the 22nd Century as his BrainwashedAndCrazy EliteMook. It wasn't until Kendra's in the verge of death where he finally breaks free from Savage's control and regain his memories.

* {{Jerkass}}: Impatient, sullen, and temperamental. This causes him and Kendra to bicker a lot.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Carter can be a jerk, but he's also passionate and loving about Kendra and her well being. He'll do anything to keep her safe and always puts her needs in front of his own.

* PraetorianGuard: His 2100s incarnation works as one to Vandal Savage after the latter brainwashed him.
* PsychicLink: He can feel whenever Kendra is near by.
* PutOnABus: He and Kendra leave the team at the end of Season 1.

* CoolOldGuy: Gives Barry advice about his love life. Later, he gives Eddie a solid pep-talk when Eddie's feeling the effects of Wells's BreakingSpeech, denigrating him as the "disappointment" of the Thawne family.

* HeroicSacrifice: Attempted in Season 2. He shuts down the wormhole in Season 2 by going into the middle of it as Firestorm and separating. He makes it, however, but Ronnie does not.

* InsufferableGenius: He can verge into this, his past self especially, but his current self is one as well. After having to deal with himself, he acknowledges this as his one major weakness.

* NiceGuy: He's really polite to Team Flash.

** Subverted in Episode 7. When Rip and the others are captured by the space pirates, it's up to him to rescue them. And boy, does he ever do.

* {{Pride}}: Arrogance is his flaw, causing his mistakes; he owns it and is ashamed of it.

->'''Known Aliases:''' Hawkgirl, Chay-Ara (original life), unnamed early 19th Century incarnation, unnamed late 19th Century incarnation, Edith Boardman (early 20th century incarnation), Kendra (surname unknown, mid 20th Century incarnation)
->'''Played By:''' Ciara Renee, Anna Deavere Smith (1870, and presumably every other older versions)

A young woman with past lives issues and wings. Once an Egyptian warrior priestess and lover of Khufu from over 5,000 years ago, she was cursed so that she will be reincarnated with her lover. Currently reincarnated as Kendra Saunders, she currently has no idea about her past life as the once priestess.

* TwentiesBobHaircut: Her Edith Boardman incarnation naturally sports them.
* AdaptationalModesty: While still a FormFittingWardrobe, her costume here covers a lot compared to the comics.
* BadassPreacher: She was a priestess in her original life. Promotional materials dubs her as a "Warrior Priestess".
* BattleCouple: With Hawkman. [[BelligerentSexualTension If they're not battling each other that is]].
* BelligerentSexualTension: The trailer implies that she and Carter have a volatile relationship.
* BlingBlingBang: She gets her trademark mace from the comics due to covering the business end in her melted down gold bracelet from her first life, as anything that was with her back then can kill Savage.
* CameBackStrong: Invoked and enforced. She and Carter either retain the memories of their previous lives or it eventually resurface. Either way, this gives either or both of them time to train for Savage.
* CelebrityParadox: An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions the ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' franchise. Her actress' first TV role was a guest appearance on ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU''.
* ChekhovsGunman: Her Hawkgirl alias can be seen [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDwZ8IkXIAEsuDP.png in the future newspaper]], helping the Arrow, Atom and Flash fight the Reverse-Flash, and she is briefly seen in The Flash Season Finale before her first full length appearance on this show."
* TheChick: She's the one who is still adjusting to her superhero life at the start of the series.
* TheChosenOne: She is the only one who can successfully kill Vandal Savage [[DeaderThanDead once and for all. Even Hawkman, who shares a very similar role in the plot as her, cannot do it.]]
* CompositeCharacter: She shares traits of different characters that took up the Hawk mask in the past - she is part of a heroic couple as [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks she was during her original appearance]], she uses a mace and is the reincarnation of an Egyptian character [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague like JLA's Shayera Hol]] and she is Hispanic and goes by Kendra Saunders [[{{ComicBook/Earth2}} as she does in Earth-2]].
* DistaffCounterpart: To Carter.
* DudeMagnet: Not only Carter and Savage, but she has gained the attention of Cisco in ''The Flash'' and now of both Jax and Ray.
* EarlyBirdCameo: As pointed out below (and {{Pun}}s aside), her appearance in the Flash first season finale basically amounted to this. Her appearance in subsequent episodes of Season 2 of The Flash amount to much the same thing.
* EternalLove: She and Carter are supposed to be soulmates, but unfortunately, she doesn't show affection to him in her current reincarnated state... Because she doesn't even know who he is.
* HotLibrarian: Worked as a college librarian when she, Sara and Ray were stuck in TheSixties.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Unlike Carter, Kendra is just learning how to emerge and awaken her innate powers. Includes an insane Fly Or Die sequence.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Wile she's a LastEpisodeNewCharacter during ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season 1, she does not appear in the Arrowverse until it's third year.
* IHaveManyNames: Thanks to her {{Reincarnation}} curse.
* JadeColoredGlasses: Her 1800s incarnation was turned bitter by her literally eternal bad experiences.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: She made her debut in the Season 1 finale of ''Series/TheFlash2014''. Of course it's just a quick shot at the end and if you didn't see the ''Legends Of Tomorrow'' trailer you wouldn't know who she is.
* LoveMakesYouStupid: She couldn't bring herself to kill Savage in 2166, as doing so would leave the brainwashed Carter trapped in Savage's conditioning. Ignoring the fact that Carter can reincarnate if killed, keeping Savage alive is a ''majorly'' bad idea which has severe consequences for the team not long afterwards.
* MsFanservice: She is very attractive.
* NeverMessWithGranny: The older version of her 1800s incarnation is handy with a shotgun.
* NoNameGiven: The name of her early 19th Century incarnation is not (yet) revealed. Judging from the characterization and the comics, that incarnation is supposed to be Katherine Manser.
* OneSteveLimit: Her [[TheForties 1940s]] incarnation is also named Kendra, though her surname then is unknown.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Played with. Prof. Boardman was hers and Carter's son from their previous life, but those incarnation of them died long before they see Boardman die.
* {{Protectorate}}: She was guarded by both Teams Arrow and Flash, and eventually Carter Hall, from Vandal Savage's clutches.
* PsychicLink: She can feel whatever is happening to Carter even after he's dead.
* PutOnABus: She and Carter leave the team at the end of Season 1.
* RaceLift: Most versions of Hawkgirl have been Caucasian in the comics (although [[Creator/MariaCanalsBarrera her voice actress]] in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' was Hispanic, and the character had an AmbiguouslyBrown DarkSkinnedRedhead appearance). The comics version of Kendra Saunders that this character is based on is half-Hispanic.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When her warrior side takes over.
* {{Reincarnation}}: She's the reincarnation of an Egyptian princess, several times over as every time she's killed she gets reincarnated again.
* ReincarnationRomance: She and Hawkman are fated to find each other in every lifetime.
* SadisticChoice: Gets handed one in "Leviathan" courtesy of Savage. Since Savage has had Carter's mind erased in order to prevent him from remembering his past Savage tells Kendra that she can either kill him and risk Carter forever loosing his memories or allow him to live in order to get said memories back. Kendra decides to choose the latter.
* {{Sexy Priest}}ess: In her original life, she's an Egyptian high priestess who was wearing a toga that shows her [[SexyBacklessoutfit back]] and [[AbsoluteCleavage cleavage]]. She's (mutually) desired by Prince Khufu and Vandal Savagee (as Hath-Set).
* SkunkStripe: She has a white strand in her front hair.
* StarCrossedLovers: With Hawkman, over and over again, due to the mystical origins of their powers.
* StatuesqueStunner: Ciara Renee is 5'8 and is regarded as attractive by a number of characters.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: She seems to have one, complete with RedEyesTakewarning. Possibly one of her previous incarnations.
* SuperStrength: She is able to tear off Ray's chestpiece barehanded.
* TimeShiftedActor: In 1870 she runs into one of her past selves who managed to survive into old age.
* TogetherInDeath: Their original selves were killed by Vandal Savage. Then their 200-or-so next reincarnations suffered the same fate.
* TookALevelInBadass: After spending countless lifetimes and most of her on screen battles with Savage, either dead or near fatally wounded, Kendra, with the help of Carter's mace imbued with the bracelet she wore on the night of her first death, almost manages to kill Savage singlehandedly. He only survives thanks to the SadisticChoice mentioned above.
* {{Transplant}}: Played with. While she was designed to be a main character in this show from the get-go, she was a RecurringCharacter on ''Series/TheFlash2014'' before this show airs.
* WingedHumanoid: Kendra can sprout wings from her back as needed.
* WrenchWench: Kendra was a riveter girl in the 1940's.

->'''Known Aliases:''' ComicBook/{{Hawkman}}, Khufu (original life), Hannibal Hawkes (early 19th Century incarnation), unnamed late 19th Century incarnation, Joe Boardman (early 20th century incarnation), unnamed mid 20th Century incarnation, Scythian Torvil (mid 22nd Century incarnation)
->'''Played By:''' Creator/FalkHentschel

Carter Hall was once the Egyptian Prince Khufu, but was placed under a curse so that he and his lover, Chay'ara would die and be reincarnated each time Vandal Savage Finds them. It already happened 206 times, and now Carter tries to stop him from making 207.
----

* AdaptationalModesty: Hawkman's costume in the comics provides a straight-out WalkingShirtlessScene. Here, he is fully clothed/armored.
* AdvertisedExtra: In virtue of being a SacrificialLion who bites it only after the second episode.
* AlliterativeName: His 19th Century incarnation, '''Ha'''nnibal '''Ha'''wkes.
* BackupTwin: By way of reincarnation; Carter returns to the team after they pick him up in 2166 and after he shakes off Savage's brainwashing. His new version is Scythian Torvil, but comes to answer to Carter Hall instead.
* BadassBaritone: He has a very deep voice, and a [[TheStoic stoic]] personality to go with it.
* BattleCouple: With Hawkgirl. [[BelligerentSexualTension If they're not battling each other that is]].
* BelligerentSexualTension: The trailer implies that he and Kendra have a volatile relationship.
* BettyAndVeronica: He is the Veronica to both Cisco and Ray's Betty for Kendra.
* BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: He's one of the team's go-to guys when it comes to fighting and also the very first casualty.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Savage brainwashed his 2100s incarnation to work for him.
* CameBackStrong: Invoked and enforced. He and Kendra either retain the memories of their previous lives or it eventually resurface. Either way, this gives either or both of them time to train for Savage.
* CarryABigStick: His WeaponOfChoice is a Morning Star.
* TheCasanova: He's described as being a "confident, charismatic leader"...
* CasanovaWannabe: ...but Kendra obviously finds his comeons too much. Indeed fans have nicknamed him Stalkman (Granted, he gets major development between the crossover episodes and his finale episode and his assholish behavior is ''nothing'' compared to what Vandal Savage has done to Kendra. At least Carter can take no for an answer... eventually).
* CelebrityParadox: The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' is acknowledged to exist in this universe. His actor had a guest role in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' before being cast here.
* CharacterDeath: His 2016 incarnation is killed by Vandal Savage in the second episode.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodeNames: He is yet to be called Hawkman.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He only starts helping Oliver and Barry in the {{Crossover}}s after they kicked his ass.
* DemotedToExtra: Invoked. Unlike Creator/ColinDonnell (Tommy Merlyn) and Creator/RickCosnett (Eddie Thawne), his actor was not given a [[AndStarring "Special Guest Star"]] citation during his reappearances after his death [[note]]Former ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' mainstay Creator/ManuBennett (Slade Wilson), while his character is still alive, was also not given the same honor unlike the actor of the also still-living Roy Harper, Creator/ColtonHaynes[[/note]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: He dies in Kendra's arms.
* EarlyBirdCameo: {{Pun}}s aside, he made his first appearance in the second annual ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' and ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' {{Crossover}}.
* EliteMook: His 22nd Century incarnation is Savage's most skilled PraetorianGuard.
* EternalLove: With Kendra, but he firstly has to make her remember who she was in her past life, and he isn't too keen on her.
* HesBack: After being killed by Savage in 1975, he reincarnates in the 22nd Century as his BrainwashedAndCrazy EliteMook. It wasn't until Kendra's in the verge of death where he finally breaks free from Savage's control and regain his memories.
* IconicSequelCharacter: Does not appear in until ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season 2.
* IHaveManyNames: Thanks to his {{Reincarnation}} curse.
* {{Jerkass}}: Impatient, sullen, and temperamental. This causes him and Kendra to bicker a lot.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Carter can be a jerk, but he's also passionate and loving about Kendra and her well being. He'll do anything to keep her safe and always puts her needs in front of his own.
* TheMentor: He teaches Hawkgirl on how to use her powers and fight as well as to adjust on the circumstances regarding their situation. Like most mentors, he also bites it.
* MrFanservice: In his original life, not a scene goes by that isn't a WalkingShirtlessScene. Also his [[SleevesAreForWimps sleeveless]] battle suit.
* NoNameGiven: The name of his mid 20th Century incarnation is not (yet) revealed.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: He very well knows that he'll look like Kendra's StalkerWithACrush when he just grabbed her and told her that only he can protect her from Savage.
* OneManArmy: Downplayed. He still loses, but he was at least able to fight ''both'' Barry and Oliver on equal footing.
* OutOfFocus: The rest of the team gets a lot more focus and CharacterDevelopment than Carter. It's justified for most of the season, because he's dead, but this remains true even after he returns; he spends the better part of two episodes brainwashed, gets shanked and hospitalised, and doesn't even appear in the following episode.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Played with. Prof. Boardman was his and Kendra's son from their previous life, but those incarnation of them died long before they see Boardman die.
* PragmaticAdaptation: Perhaps the most contradictory and confusing character in comic book history (let's put it this way: the dude's the ''page image'' for ContinuitySnarl) is given a significantly streamlined backstory under a single creative vision.
* PraetorianGuard: His 2100s incarnation works as one to Vandal Savage after the latter brainwashed him.
* PsychicLink: He can feel whenever Kendra is near by.
* PutOnABus: He and Kendra leave the team at the end of Season 1.
* {{Reincarnation}}: He died as often as Hawkgirl did, and reincarnated every time.
* ReincarnationRomance: He and Hawkgirl are fated to find each other in every lifetime.
* SacrificialLion: A significant and badass character that was killed to establish that Savage isn't going to go down easy.
* SexyMentor: He acts as the mentor for Hawkgirl and hits on her at the same time. She's not a fan.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: He casually pushes Kendra off from the top of a building so that her powers can be revealed. Partly justified, since it is a case of HereWeGoAgain for him - his memories have already returned.
* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Has not appeared in the teaser trailer. He does on the main ones though.
* SleevesAreForWimps: His costume is sleeveless though it has shoulder pads.
* TheSmartGuy: While Rip has better knowledge of the future (particularly everything post-21st century), Carter has for the past due toi being reincarnated several times and having better memories of them than Kendra.
* SpearCounterpart: He's basically a male version of Kendra.
* StarCrossedLovers: What Hawkgirl and him have been more than 200 times already.
* TheStoic: He shows even less expression than Oliver.
* StuffedInTheFridge: His death is what really banded The Legends together against Savage. Possibly counts as a literal example too, as Savage possessed his remains for a while.
* SuperheroSpeciation: He and Kendra both have the exact same powerset, which is likely why he's killed off to avoid making her redundant.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Played by attractive 5'11 actor Falk Hentschel.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Stands 5'11 and has an aloof demeanor.
* TogetherInDeath: With Chay-Ara back when they were living under Ramesses. And presumably many more times since.
* TheUnchosenOne: Despite sharing a very similar role in the plot as Kendra, '''only she''' can permanently kill Savage.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: As Prince Khufu.
* WarriorPrince: Subverted. He was a prince in his original life, but he only becomes a warrior in his later lives including the current one.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: After only an episode each on ''Series/TheFlash2014'' and ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', and two episodes on this series, Carter is killed by Vandal Savage.
* WingedHumanoid: Per the norm, and a blessing of Horus.
* YouCantFightFate: This incarnation of him still dies at the hands of Vandal Savage, except this time [[Series/TheFlash2014 Barry]] is not here to push the ResetButton.

->'''Known Aliases:''' Captain Cold
->'''Played By:''' Creator/WentworthMiller, Trestyn Zradicka (young)

A world-class thief who gets a hold of a high powered, experimental cold gun, becoming one of Central City’s supervillains. Together with his long-time friend Mick Rory and sister Lisa, they form the Rogues.
----
* AbusiveParents: His father was a bad cop who took his anger out on him and his sister. He's still dealing with the scars left by this well into adulthood. He ended up killing him.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's perhaps the most handsome take on any versions of the character to date.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Played with. This is the first known StoryArc where ([[TemporalParadox the]] [[AlternateSelf main]]) Captain Cold is portrayed as one of the main characters, but is a TokenEvilTeammate. In contrast to his Flash Appearances, some of his ignoble characterization has been cut out.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Captain Cold of the comics is a very strict AntiVillain, who detests the idea of killing people unless he has to, especially innocents, would actively work to avoid civilian casualties, and was a FriendlyEnemy with Barry. In the show, he's far more willing to endanger innocents (though, while he does mention not liking the idea of killing police officers, he specifies it's due to PragmaticVillainy, not morals), even outright killing a man in cold blood (pun intended) to distract the Flash, and repeatedly kills other criminals he does deal with to avoid them spilling any information about him. He still seems to respect the Flash, but not to the same extent.\\\
As the leader of the Rogues, in the comics he's more interested in petty theft (and even calls out those who harm women and children or at least try to); here, his main goal is to defeat the Flash.\\
He starts to gravitate more towards his comic book version in "Rogue Time", where he agrees to keep Barry's identity a secret — even if he [[CooperationGambit does want to stay free in return]] -- and, when the Flash hurts his pride by saying he wouldn't need to kill anyone if he was as good at his job as he thinks he is, Cold takes up the challenge, for a while.
* AffablyEvil: For a CardCarryingVillain, Snart isn't all bad, and, as Sara finds out in the pilot, he can be pretty good company.
* AffectionateNickname: Cold is sometimes called "Lenny" by Lisa.
* AlliterativeFamily: With his younger sister, '''L'''isa. Their father is named '''L'''ewis.
* AffectionatePickpocket: As a RunningGag after he does something suave with a woman, he will have also stolen her wallet.
* AlliterativeName: As '''C'''aptain '''C'''old.

* AntiHero: A shameless crook whose morals aren't exactly sterling, but eventually, Snart becomes, more or less, solidly one of the good guys.
* ArchEnemy: For Barry, second to the Reverse Flash. "Wells" actually goes on to call him Barry's "nemesis". The animosity between them only escalated after the events of "Rogue Air", only to revert back after the events of "Family of Rogues" to being more like friendly enemies.
* TheAtoner: He let himself be taken to jail after killing his father, and then got a talk from Barry that he didn't need to be defined by his past and could still turn his life around if he really wanted to, which ultimately convinced him to join the Legends.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: It's mentioned he studies potential targets for months before making his move, and describes police deployment and response time with extreme precision when the Flash foils the robbery in "Going Rogue".
* BadassNormal: He's not a meta-human. He's just a criminal who got his hands on an extremely powerful weapon that made him dangerous. And even without it he shows his most dangerous weapon is his brain. He's also the first villain to score a clear victory over Barry. He's so skilled that in "Family of Rogues", after finally arresting him, Joe and Barry agree that it's for the best that they put him into the new metahuman wing of Iron Heights Prison, even though he's not superpowered.
* TheBadGuyWins: Mostly during ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season 1.
** The outcome of his first episode. He gets everything he wants, defeats the Flash, leaves him alive out of his own volition and walks away scot-free.
** Kind of wins again when he returns in Revenge of the Rogues. While he wasn't able to get rid of the Flash, he accomplishes his other goal to at least expose the Flash to the public and still escapes prison at the end, as he prepared a Prison (Transport) Break in case he gets arrested. However, as of right now he and Mick lost their high-tech guns; still, this might be just a minor issue for him, since he and Mick are now familiar enough with the weapons' technology so they now might be able to make their own.
** And again in Rogue Time, he finds out Barry's secret identity and forces him into a Cooperation Gambit, escaping arrest once more, plus recovering his and Rory's weapons, and getting a new one for his sister.
** After a hat-trick of victories against the Flash, Snart scores another magnificent victory in Rogue Air. Not only did he force the Flash to erase his criminal records, he's also responsible for sabotaging Team Flash's plan to send off the metahuman prisoners to Lian Yu Island. After freeing the prisoners, he recruits the majority of them to his Rogues Gallery. At this rate, Barry's ego should be used to getting trampled over by Captain Cold.
* BashBrothers: With Heat Wave.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Uses this as a justification on why he's a criminal.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He denies it but Snart is clearly benevolent to Barry because of the latter's [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre continually reaching out towards him]].
* BiTheWay: [[WordOfSaintPaul Wentworth Miller]] has declared Snart to be pansexual.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He's protective of Lisa, and he'll do anything to save her — even working with his much hated dad.
* BloodKnight: In "Rogue Time", he states outright that his only motivation is the thrill of breaking the law, and knowing how good he is at it.
* BookDumb: As Felicity is quick to point out, he never finished high school, but what he may lack in academic learning he makes up by [[AwesomeByAnalysis intelligence and careful observation]].
* BrainsAndBrawn: Brains to Heat Wave's Brawn.
* BreakTheHaughty: His dad coerces to pull heists with him by threatening Lisa, which forces him to change his outlook on things.
* BromanticFoil: His methods in approaching women are different from Ray's, but far more successful.
* CardCarryingVillain: One of the few in modern television. In particular, he's a rare live action Card-Carrying Supervillain. He's the first of Barry's rogues to really embrace the villain nickname given to him by Cisco, and most of his subsequent appearances have him diving into supervillain tropes headfirst and trying his damnedest to play the role to the hilt (such as making his feud with the Flash public, recruiting metahumans and forgoing the payoff for the thrill of facing the Flash) because he enjoys it far more than being a regular criminal, which initially confuses some of the more practical minded crooks he works with (at least before he converts them).
-->'''Cold:''' Here's the thing: I'm a criminal and [[ILied a liar]], and I hurt people and I rob them.

** Music/MariahCarey is acknowledged by a number of characters to exist in this universe. Wentworth Miller was Mariah's LoveInterest in two of her (hit) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI2cwfluyNo music]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0habxsuXW4g videos]].
** An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions the ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' franchise. His actor guest starred on the Season 11 premiere of ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU'' and [[WhatCouldHaveBeen was intended to be]] a RecurringCharacter.
** In a way. ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' is acknowledged to exist in this universe, a show which starred Creator/SarahWayneCallies, his ''Series/PrisonBreak'' co-star and LoveInterest. Additionally, Callies' [[StarMakingRole time]] on the latter show was heavily advertised when she was cast on the former show.
* CharacterDeath: Killed in the explosion of the Oculus.
* CharacterDevelopment: While he starts out as largely uninterested in stopping Savage, after Carter dies and he witnesses the horrors that Savage plans to unleash, Snart forms a (somewhat [[{{Pun}} frosty]] at times) loyalty to the team, and reaches the point where he refuses to abandon the mission to stop Savage. Later he genuinely comes to the rest of the team's views.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In Season 1 of ''The Flash'' he was a BadBoss that killed several of his men for trying to back out of a job. By the time he joined ''Legends'' Snart established himself as a firm believer in TrueCompanions, commenting that he would never abandon his crew and being motivated by revenge for a fallen teammate. (There's still some level of consistency, given that the accomplices he killed abandoned him first by trying to walk out and potentially becoming liabilities. Reconnecting with Mick and Lisa and being reached out to by Barry may have also had a hand in releasing his team player side.)
* TheCharmer: He is able to charm a Pentagon soldier and Vostok.
* CivvieSpandex: He wears a longcoat and goggles, as opposed to the white and blue costume he wears in the comics.
* ClockKing: He carefully studies police response times down to the second.
* ColdHam: Pun aside, Snart rarely, if ever, raises his voice, but his dialogue positively ''drips'' with ham.
* ConflictingLoyalty: It doesn't start that way, but Snart ends up having to choose between his newfound loyalty to the team and his lifelong friendship with Mick. After Mick's betrayal in "Marooned", Snart chooses the team.
* CrazyPrepared: Snart has a plan for everything. When he and Rory are being transported to Iron Heights, he's calm and collected. Why? Because in case that happened he already arranged to have his sister break them out as part of a contingency plan.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: By refusing to kill Mick, Snart inadvertently creates Chronos.
* CutenessProximity: When he was a baby he caused this reaction in both Kendra and Sara.
* DeadpanSnarker: Snart can't resist taking the piss out of anyone and everyone he comes across, especially if that person happens to be [[GoodIsDumb Barry]] or [[ButtMonkey Ray]]. He becomes arguably the biggest snarker in a group alredy filled to the brim with them.
-->'''Ray:''' Maybe I am dead right now... Hello? Can anybody hear me?
-->'''Snart:''' [[{{Troll}} No.]]
* DebtDetester: He may not want to admit it, but he doesn't go after the Flash anymore since he saved Lisa's life. He is however perfectly fine with other villains going after the Scarlet Speedster, and the most he'll do for the Flash is let him know that trouble's coming.
* DefiantToTheEnd: His FamousLastWords even evokes this.
-->'''Snart:''' There are no strings on me!
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: In his first appearance, he was largely bored. He committed crimes for the money, but planned everything so perfectly that there was barely ever even a chance of him losing. Fighting Barry quickly became his passion, and he took on the LargeHam mantle of "Captain Cold" the second it was offered.
* {{Determinator}}:
** In his introductory episode, Joe notes that while Snart has faced setbacks in the past, once he sets his sights on a prize, he never gives up until he gets it. In the same episode, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness we see what happens]] to members of his crew who [[KnowWhenToFoldEm don't share his persistence]].
** He freezes his own hand solid, then shatters it, frees himself from Chronos' handcuffs, and makes his way through Nanda Parbat with barely any sign of pain (apart from when he shattered the hand). And this was before he even knew that the Ship could recreate his hand.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Didn't think that Flash would let himself get hit by both guns to force the streams to cross. But he was aware of the possibility of losing, and had a backup plan.
* DramaticIrony: Claims that he is not a hero, yet [[HeroicSacrifice dies as one]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: "You would do anything to protect your family, just like me."
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He may be a thief, but he no longer kills unless it's in self-defense, and he isn't pleased with some of Savage's more brutal acts. When he sees the crime-ridden Star City of 2046, he hates it as it's just mindless thuggery, no skill and also the lack of fun in being a crook in a world with no law.
** Ruthless as he is, he's appalled by his dad's sadistic streak and doesn't like the Trickster's [[MadBomber antics]] either.
* ExactWords: In exchange for erasing any evidence that he exists, Snart promises Barry that he will help transport the illegally imprisoned metahumans across town and protect Barry if they get loose and try to kill him. He is true to his word. He does help transport the metahumans across town. And he does kill Deathbolt before he can kill a helpless Barry Allen. Snart said nothing, however, about not releasing the imprisoned metahumans himself.
* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: During his HeroicSacrifice: ''"There are no strings on me."''
* FreezeRay: His Cold Gun, his WeaponOfChoice which is said to be a miniature cold generator that shoots "flames" that achieve absolute zero.
* FreudianExcuse: His dad was an AbusiveParent who taught him and his sister how to be crooks.
* FriendlyEnemy: He has this to a degree with The Flash and his team at least from his own side as shown in "Rogue Air" where he chats amiably with them, seems to respect them and is willing to protect Barry from Deathbolt. However he's still a (self admitted) liar and criminal and he's not afraid to manipulate and use the team to get what he wants.
* FriendToAllChildren: He's quite friendly to most children (a young Per Degaton being the main exception).
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From ordinary street thug to Central City's first true supervillain in a matter of days. {{Justified|Trope}} in that he already had all the makings of a supervillain aside from the proper gear and protagonist, and as they say, luck is preparation locking heads with opportunity.
* GadgeteerGenius: While not as smart as Cisco — he's not able to create a new cold gun by himself — he is smart enough to disassemble, then reassemble it, and is familiar enough with its mechanics to know when Cisco tries to sabotage the second one Cold is forcing him to make.
* 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.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Not really unusual; they protect his eyes from the glare that comes from the Cold Gun. Also counts as Stylish Protection Gear.
* GracefulLoser: Takes his loss to Flash well. Probably because he had a backup plan.
* HarmfulToMinors: His father ''took his son on his crime runs'' and had Leonard do everything he was too large to do, which is how Leonard learned to be as great a criminal as he is currently.
* HeelFaceTurn: He slowly makes one over the course of the first season and a half of ''The Flash'' and first season of ''Legends''. He goes from CardCarryingVillain and BadBoss who thinks VirtueIsWeakness to the FriendlyEnemy of his city's hero to a TokenEvilTeammate on a ragtag time squad…to a {{True Companion|s}} who's willing to make a HeroicSacrifice to give the rest of the team their best chance at fulfilling their ultimate mission of stopping Savage.
* HeroicSacrifice: Let the irony sink in. Cold sacrifices his life to destroy the Occulus.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Mick have been friends for a long time.
* HiddenDepths:
** "Family of Rogues'' shows he's more complex than being a Card-Carrying Villain, he genuinely loves Lisa and he's disgusted by his dad's cruelty.
** Also, anyone who gets picked up and carried by a speedster is usually extremely disoriented and dizzy once they're put down (Eiling was unable to stand and mostly incoherent after the Reverse-Flash ran him across the city). Snart, on the other hand, just needs a split-second to get his balance after Barry grabs and runs with him, and he's grinning like a kid who just got off the roller coaster.
* AnIcePerson: He isn't a metahuman like other villains so far, instead he uses a "cold gun" that can slow atoms down to absolute zero. Even before that, he used liquid nitrogen to freeze and break open an armored truck. He also offers a boy some cool mint gum.
* AnIceSuit: Once he settles into his supervillain role, he dons a dark blue parka.
* IconicSequelCharacter: While he's introduced early in ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season 1, he does not appear in the Arrowverse until it's third year.
* IGaveMyWord: Claims this trait, though living up to it is another matter, as is whether what he promises being a case of ExactWords or not. To his credit, he does promise to keep Barry's identity as The Flash a secret, and remains true to it, not even telling his sister.
* ILied: However, he does also point and that he's a criminal and a thief, so trusting him isn't exactly a guarantee.
* InTheHood: He wears a hooded dark blue parka.
* {{Irony}}: The man who claimed "hero ain't on my resume" ultimately dies a hero. Ray even remarks that the last thing Snart would have wanted said about him is that he was a hero.
* ItsPersonal: His reason for going after Savage. He may not have known Carter from Adam (his words), but Carter was part of his crew all the same, so killing him put Savage on Cold's shit list.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's cold, distant, and kind of a dick, but Snart is far from heartless, even developing a genuine friendship with some of his teammates.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While he is a crook and kind of a jerk, Snart is very smart and perceptive. For instance, his suggestion of killing Per Degaton as a child would arguably have worked out for the best had the team followed through on it.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Just check out the way his face lights up when he first hears his supervillain name. When he comes back in Revenge of the Rogues, it's obvious that he revels in the opportunity to be a bona fide supervillain.
* TheLancer: He, The Atom and White Canary share this role, as they all stepped in leadership role on a few occasions Rip is not around or in some kind of funk.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Has his own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDp32w-Euw theme music]].
* ManOfKryptonite: His FreezeRay was specifically built by Cisco to counter the Flash in case he ever went rogue. It was stolen by a janitor working at S.T.A.R labs who tried to sell it to Leonard who promptly used it on him. It turns Leonard from a skilled, yet petty thief to an dangerous threat. That said, Snart doesn't consider it to be the Flash's real weakness, but rather his need to help others.
* ManipulativeBastard: Clearly enjoys manipulating events to benefit himself.
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: While he stills wears a blue parka, it's now a dark navy color rather than the bright shade seen in the comics.
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Meets his child self in 1975 and gives him a RousingSpeech.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Discussed, he's more shocked that his sister kissed Cisco as part of her HoneyTrap, but he's not actually mad about it.
* NervesOfSteel: Even though its only the fourth episode, by the time Snart's on the scene, people are aware of the Streak, and after his first robbery is foiled, his crew decides Central City is too hot for them. Snart, on the other hand, never shows fear, neither of Barry, the police, or even when his own crew draw down on him. He just makes a plan, and is able to hand the Flash a solid defeat.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: He was never able to have a last moment with his sister, presumably his only living relative.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He and Heat Wave stay on the team just for the opportunity to kill people and steal stuff. And later to avenge Carter's death. Eventually, he does come around to the rest of the team's viewpoint, but Rory doesn't. [[spoiler:Not at first, anyway.]]
* NotSoStoic: He has the happiest smirk on his face when he hears Cisco dub him "Captain Cold". Also when Barry calls them the Rogues.

** He and Mick hit it off with Sara pretty quick.
** After a rough start, he and Ray develop a grudging respect for each other's skills.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Given that he's already at least preschool aged by 1975 means he's already in his mid-40s when he debuted on ''Series/TheFlash2014'' but doesn't look it. His actor was born on 1972, meaning he's PlayingGertrude.
* OneSteveLimit: Was annoyed when Rip Hunter addresses himself as TheCaptain of the ship because he also goes by Captain Cold. When he meets his child self, the kid addresses himself as "Leo".
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Literally. He and Mick only joined the team because of all the treasures they can steal from their TimeTravel adventures.
* PersonalityPowers: Well, it's a gun rather than his own power, but he's still a stoic, calm professional that gets a cold gun. Justified since he specifically chooses the cold gun, even rejecting the heat gun he's offered before. Even before that, however, he used a liquid nitrogen projector in heists.
* PetTheDog:
** Offers a kid a stick of gum and banters with him while casing a museum.
** Before he gives Cisco the ultimatum of revealing the Flashs' identity or his brother will be killed, Snart tells Cisco that he genuinely admires and respects him for all the hard work he's done in working to escape his difficult childhood situation and make something out of himself. Snart does this without any hint of irony or sarcasm and it's plain that he is completely sincere.
** After getting what he wants, he releases Cisco and his brother from the Rogues' captivity instead of the usual take.
* ThePlan: He begins forming one, once he gains his freeze ray and after his first battle with the Flash.
* PragmaticVillainy: Snart is willing to steal, kill, and endanger the lives of civilians to achieve his goals. However, he doesn't act without reason, and he chooses not to shoot cops or murder bystanders if he can help it, because it's not worth the time or the attention from the cops. In fact he backs out of a Villain Team-Up with Weather Wizard and the Trickster to kill the Flash, simply because there's no profit to it.
* PromotionToParent: Given the aforementioned Abusive Parents, it's implied that Leonard was Lisa's caregiver growing up. Lisa confirms it in "Family of Rogues," claiming that having Lenny as an influence rather than their father alone is the reason the siblings are not worse than bank robbers packing powerful firearms.
* PungeonMaster: [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Passively pummels people with a plethora of ice puns.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: After starting out as a criminal and then starting the first season as a TokenEvilTeammate, he gradually changed his ways culminating in him sacrificing himself for TheTeam.
* RedOniBlueOni: He and Mick as their elements and ColorMotif suggest. He's the more levelheaded, methodical and calculating of the two (Blue).
* SecretKeeper: Finds out Barry's identity in "Rogue Time"; agrees to keep it secret as part of a Cooperation Gambit; Barry doesn't get him arrested, or locked away in secrecy, as long as Len keeps the secret and adopts a Thou Shall Not Kill policy.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Cold kills his father with his cold gun in "Family of Rogues". This took place the second after Team Flash extracts a bomb Lewis put inside Lisa's head to force Cold into most unwanted partnership. This is a notable departure from the comics where he couldn't bring himself to kill his dad....so he had Heatwave do it for him.
* ShadowArchetype: Snart and Barry were both raised by cops, at one point saw their fathers going to prison, developed Awesomeness by Analysis and eventually got powers from STAR Labs—either permanently or through gadgets—but, in terms of personality, simply became powered-up versions of who they already were.
-->'''Barry:''' Snart's dad is in prison, too? We should start a club.
* SiblingsInCrime: Is this with Lisa.
* SinisterShades: They're goggles, but they're clearly meant to invoke this.
* TheSmartGuy: He's the most street smart of Rip Hunter's team.
* TheStoic: He almost never raises his voice and maintains a deadpan expression.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He stands 6'1 and is definitely not a bad looking man.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He stands 6'1 and is definitely a snarky individual.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Originally his view on killing fluctuates based on whether it helps or hurts in getting a job done, but after he kidnaps Cisco, Barry challenges his pride by saying if he were as good as he claims he could do the whole supervillain thing without killing anyone, which Cold agrees to. Later seeing how casually his dad kills people makes it a genuine belief instead of a rule of PragmaticVillainy.
* TokenEvilTeammate: His role in the team, along with Heat Wave. He starts to grow out of it.
-->'''Cold:''' I can't imagine any kind of future where ''I'm'' a hero.
* TookALevelInKindness: Snart is rather more personable than he was on ''Series/TheFlash2014''. He's still a criminal, and hardly the kindliest of individuals, but he's at least advanced from FauxAffablyEvil to genuinely AffablyEvil.

* TrueCompanions: While he might not like specific people in the group he's in, once you roll with him, anyone who messes his crew will pay the price. After Carter dies, Snart throws his lot in with the team to get payback against Savage.
* {{Tykebomb}}: It is revealed that his father Lewis trained him at a young age to be a top-notch criminal.
* UnfortunateNames: "Leonard Snart" isn't going to be winning him any coolest names awards any time soon. Both Barry and Joe think it's lame.
* VictoryIsBoring: According to Miller, he's been pulling off flawless thefts with no consequences for so long it's grown boring, and he welcomes the challenge that the Flash presents.
* VillainousBreakdown: May be in the early stages, as Mick claimed he was obsessed with the Flash to the point of forgoing his usual planning and pragmatism. Except not, it's all part of the plan.
* VillainousFriendship: With Mick Rory.
* VillainProtagonist: He is part of the main EnsembleCast of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' and is their proud TokenEvilTeammate.
* VirtueIsWeakness: He consider's the Flash's real weakness not to be his FreezeRay, but the fact that he helps people. He takes advantage of this by derailing a train and forcing him to save all the passengers.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: His hair has a distinct silver shade.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He and Mick have already shown willingness to conduct heists and follow personal vendettas at the most inopportune times for the team. He and Mick are also this, as while they seem to be friends, they're perfectly willing to point guns at each other if one of them screws up a job.
* WorthIt: His attitude towards killing his father. It's one crime he's perfectly willing to go to jail for.
* WorthyOpponent: Seems to see the Flash as this, going as far as thanking him for keeping him on his toes. He's also notably hesitant to kill him, especially after Barry helped save his sister.
* WouldHurtAChild: In a ShootTheDog sense, Snart is the only one of the team who shows little hesitation with the idea of killing a young Per Degaton. That said, he never tries to, nor is he in a position to try to follow through on this.

!! Mick Rory / Heat Wave
[[quoteright:339:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lot_mickrory.jpg]][[quoteright:339:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lot_heatwave.jpg]]

->'''Known Aliases:''' Heat Wave, Chronos
->'''Played By:''' Creator/DominicPurcell, Michael Kummen (young)

A deranged criminal with a fixation with fire and Leonard Snart's long-time partner in crime.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Played with. This is the first known StoryArc where ([[AlternateSelf the main]]) Heat Wave is portrayed as one of the main characters, but is a TokenEvilTeammate. He ultimately subverts this by betraying the team, and it's DoubleSubverted when he rejoins them and redeems himself.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Rory dabbled in the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, and his mental issues are portrayed sympathetically. Finally subverted during ''Legends'', when said characteristics finally begin to show up.
* AffablyEvil: Not as much as Snart, but Rory can be a lot of fun to hang out with, and things like gratitude and loyalty aren't as lost on him as one might think.
* AndStarring: His appearances on ''Series/TheFlash2014'' is credited with "Special Guest Star" citation. Played more straight upon his {{Transplant}} to ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* AxCrazy: With his unhealthy obsession with fire and his volatile emotional state, Mick is not a stable person to say the least.
* BadassBookworm: Though he had to be told to learn it by Snart, Mick has taken to learning exactly how his gun works so that he can repair it if necessary.
* BadassNormal: Him, Snart, and Sara have no powers unlike most members of the team but they were picked to be members for a reason.
* BaldOfAwesome: He's bald and is one of the team's resident {{Badass Normal}}s.
* BaldOfEvil: Similar to Snart's crew cut, but he has [[PermaStubble stubble]] as well, making him look rougher.
* BashBrothers: With Captain Cold.
* TheBigGuy: He's one of his teams' go-to guys when it comes to fighting, and '''loves''' that role.
* BloodKnight: He really enjoys getting into action.
* BoisterousBruiser: He doesn't hide the fact that he really enjoys getting into action.
* BookDumb: He is not the brightest of the team, but he is far from incompetent.
* BrainsAndBrawn: Brawn to Cold's Brains. Snart explicitly describes them as this in "Star City 2046".
* TheBusCameBack: He was last seen during the middle of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season 1 (the ImagineSpot in the Season 2 premiere doesn't count).
* ButtMonkey: From time to time, he is mocked due to his love for the flame. This gets worse in ''Legends'', where he's constantly held back from literally blowing things up.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: He ''used'' to be a heavy drinker, but years or longer at the Vanishing Point without any alcohol mean that Sara easily drinks him under the table.
* CardCarryingVillain: He makes no bones about being a psychotic crook.
--> '''Snart''': "Hero" ain't on my resume.
--> '''Rory''': Or mine.
* CelebrityParadox:
** ''Series/TheFlash2014'' tie-in called "The Chronicles of Cisco" mentions the existence of the ''Film/MissionImpossible'' film series to the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}. Creator/DominicPurcell was on ''Film/MissionImpossibleII''. The film franchise was then acknowledge on-screen during Season 2.
** In a way. ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' is acknowledged to exist in this universe, a show which also stars Creator/SarahWayneCallies, his ''Series/PrisonBreak'' co-star and LoveInterest of Miller's character. Additionally, Callies' [[StarMakingRole time]] on the latter show was heavily advertised when she was cast on the former show.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Averted; even though he takes a liking to Stein and Sara, he's still a criminal at heart and he's more interested in stealing stuff and setting things on fire than stopping Savage. His failure to change causes his friendship with Snart to crumble and him to betray the team.
** He finally gets some real development after he returns from being Chronos. He's much calmer and takes orders well, to the point that in the Wild West episode, when everyone insists on seeing the town, he promises Hunter that he'll keep an eye on them. Unfortunately, he passes out during a drinking contest with Sara, and the team immediately starts a bar fight.
* CompositeCharacter: He's heavily burned like his [[ComicBook/New52 Prime Earth]] Metahuman incarnation, but still uses a flamethrower ala pre-Flashpoint. Also, he becomes the Arrowverse's version of Chronos.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Accidentally set fire to his own home when he was a teen.
* DumbMuscle: After going back to the '70s, he gets irritated that there's "nothing but reruns" on TV. Jackson apparently already tried to explain it and tells Sara not to bother. Rip later tells him he was only recruited because he and Cold were a "package deal".
* EasilyForgiven: Big time. The team apparently forgets that he turned on them ''before'' the Time Masters got their hands on him. See also WelcomeBackTraitor below.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He may be the closest thing to a villain that the team has, but he will not leave Ray behind after he takes a beating for him, even if it makes his escape more difficult. He also doesn't approve of killing children either.
* EvilSoundsDeep: As part of the contrast to Snart, Mick has a very rough, gravelly deep voice in comparison to Snart's smoother baritone. Possibly due to smoke inhalation.
* EvilIsHammy: Purcell is clearly having a ball with the role, and it makes him stand out compared to Miller's stoic performance.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He can't come to terms with the idea that Snart may actually be trying to do a good thing for its own sake, or call the Legends his team when Rory says ''they'' were a team. Snart has to flat out say "people change", and it ''still'' doesn't seem to kick in any more than for him to assume it a betrayal by Snart.
* FaceHeelTurn: He betrays the team in "Marooned", siding with the Time Pirates. Taken even further when he becomes Chronos. He pulls a HeelFaceTurn after being captured and shaking off the Time Masters' brainwashing.
* FireBreathingWeapon: Snart gives him a high-tech flamethrower stolen from S.T.A.R. Labs. It superheats the air (hence Cisco calling him "Heat Wave"), and can do the inverse of Snart's FreezeRay, instead heating up objects to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_temperature Planck temperature]], or as Cisco calls it, "absolute hot".
* FirstNameBasis: Snart calls him Mick.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From a burnt criminal to a super-villain.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's smart enough to repair his flamethrower after it gets damaged in a shootout.
* 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 heat gun more than make up for this.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Less unusual than Snart's, as they are meant to protect him from the glare of actual fire, rather than an absolute zero gun.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Savage has had thousands of years to study every martial art under the sun. By contrast, Mick is not noted to have any particular martial training beyond simply being in a lot of bar fights, yet Mick still goes toe to toe with Savage in the season finale.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has severe burn scars all over his arms, and possibly the rest of his body.
* GutturalGrowler: Perhaps more so than in his parent show. See LargeHam below.
* HandicappedBadass: Subverted. He suffered third-degree burns that left him with disfiguring scars, but there's been no indication as yet that the damage is anything more than cosmetic.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Leonard have been friends for a long time.
* HiddenDepths: He's spent most of his life hating himself for accidentally killing his own family.
* HotBlooded: This should be obvious.
* IconicSequelCharacter: While he's introduced midway during ''Series/TheFlash2014'' Season 1, he does not appear in the Arrowverse until it's third year.
* KillItWithFire: He's a criminal that possesses a flamethrower.
* KnightOfCerebus: After the events of "Star City 2046", his betrayal of the team and TheReveal he was Chronos, whatever he is around, Mick puts the series into an entirely new and darker light.
* LargeHam: Loves being the center of attention and has absolutely no clue as to the meaning of the word "subtle". He and Captain Cold are opposites in more than just the weapons they possess. It's plain Creator/DominicPurcell is having a blast playing this role. Considering the fact that his character in ''Series/PrisonBreak'' was a stoic, extremely watchful inmate who had to keep his mind intact while suffering under a death sentence, you get the feeling that he's relishing playing a role that lets him cut loose. He takes it UpToEleven in ''Legends'', if that's possible.
-->'''Mick:''' I LOVE TheSeventies!
* LastNameBasis: Rip and the rest of his team sans [[FirstNameBasis Snart]] addresses him this way.
* LaughingMad: At one point, he's shooting flames all over the place and cackling like a witch.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Snart kept his sister a secret so she could break them out of jail. He stops being upset with Snart after that.
* MoodSwinger: Swings pretty violently between somewhat jovial and mean as all hell.
* MoralMyopia: As Chronos, he fully blames the other Legends for being left stranded, seeking revenge and planning to kill Snart's sister over and over again while forcing Snart to watch. Rory seems to forget that he was abandoned after he betrayed the team to a gang of pirates and tried to kill Sara, and that the only reason he was alive at all is because Snart showed him mercy.
* MoreThanMindControl: Implied after he reveals his identity as Chronos to Snart.
* MrViceGuy: He loves to drink and gleefully asks Prof. Stein for some drugs.
* NominalHero: He's aligned with the good guys. That's about as heroic as Mick gets.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He and Cold stay on the team just for the opportunity to kill people and steal stuff. After taking a liking to the hellish state of Star City in 2046, Rory is perfectly willing to abandon the team and the mission to live out his days in the BadFuture.
* 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. The one thing that they seem to share in common is that (after just a little convincing from Snart) they both seem to agree that being supervillains is in itself worth more than the money they can make from pulling heists.
** He and Snart hit it off with Sara pretty quick.
** He's quite impressed with Stein's darker actions like drugging Jax to get him on the team, and is disappointed when Stein later insults him, thinking they had a real friendship starting. He later swings back to impressed after Stein manages to get the team into an auction for a nuclear warhead by intimidating one of the guards.
* OddNameOut: Compare his name and codename with the Snart siblings. Their given names follow [[AlliterativeFamily a specific]] ThemeNaming, while both their codenames are [[AlliterativeName alliterate]]. Of course if you consider his second codename Chronos, then Lisa falls with this trope.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Literally. He and Snart only joined the team because of all the treasures they can steal from their TimeTravel adventures.
* OutOfFocus:
** Once Lisa joins the Rogues, Mick noticeably falls to the wayside, while Lisa becomes Cold's preferred partner, since she's much more sane and stable than Mick is. Hell, Mick didn't even appear in Season Two, before he was {{Transplant}}ed to ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
** He had the least screen time in the trailers as well as CharacterDevelopment going into ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''. However, come the midpoint of the series, it's revealed that he was Chronos the entire time, after he felt he was betrayed by Snart's change of heart, and he gets more focus from there in.
* PetTheDog: He insists on bringing Ray when Snart comes to break him out of prison, thanks to Ray taking a vicious beating for him.
* PlayingWithFire: His flamethrower.
* ThePowerOfHate: Says it was this that allowed him to keep his mind after being made into Chronos.
* PsychoPartyMember: The only unhinged member of the group. Of all the team, he loved the ruined Star City of 2046 as being just what he dreamed and couldn't understand why Snart didn't feel the same.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: As his name suggests.
-->'''Rory:''' I want to see this world burn!
* RedOniBlueOni: He and Leonard as their elements and ColorMotif suggest. He's the more ([[KillItWithFire literally]]) HotBlooded of the two (Red).
* RefusalOfTheCall: He's reluctant to stick with the supervillain shtick until Cold convinces him that it's their true calling.
* ReplacementGoldfish: After Snart sacrifices himself, Mick tries to get back to normal theiving with an unnamed punk wielding the cold gun. Onscreen, it lasts about 20 seconds before he burns the kid.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After noticing his relationship with his longtime friend drifting apart, coupled with Rip's untimely TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, he finally got fed up with everything and decides to betray everyone.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Albeit, not by choice. He was playing with his dad's lighter which caused a fire to grow out control and he freaked out so much that he ran out of the house without waking his family.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He stands 6'2 and has a gruff demeanor.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: After Rip tells him that he was only recruited because he and Cold were a "package deal", he betrays the team in an attempt to stop Snart and himself from joining the Legends by making a deal with some time pirates.
* TokenEvilTeammate: His role in the team, along with Captain Cold. Unlike Cold, however, he didn't receive any AntiVillain CharacterDevelopment before the announcement of the series. He joins the team simply for the chance to steal some valuable items from the past, and upon Rip revealing the truth, elects to stay on because "I like killing people." It eventually turns out that literally the only reason Rip invited him was because he knew Snart wouldn't come without him; he is ''not'' pleased to learn this.
* TookALevelInBadass: In his time as Chronos he becomes more strategic and articulate, and even functions as TheLancer to Rip from time to time once he rejoins the team. He also becomes a much better and physically stronger fighter, capable of punching out armoured mooks with his bare hands and even defeated an incarnation of Savage in melee when previously Savage curbstomped him.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's still a rather gruff fellow, but after his time as Chronos, he's more calm and patient. This is best shown with the Time Masters' second attempt to brainwash him. The first time, Mick kept his identity by holding on to his hatred for the team. The second time, he held on to his true self by focusing on his need to save the team.
* {{Transplant}}: He was a major recurring antagonist in ''Series/TheFlash2014''.
* TwoFirstNames: Per the Creator/DCComics norm.
* UncertainDoom: Rory is last seen facing the business end of Snart's cold gun. Whether or not Snart actually killed him is unclear, but at least some of the team seem to believe that he did. It turns out that he didn't die; the Time Masters made him Chronos.
* VillainousFriendship: With Captain Cold. This becomes a key-plot in their respective CharacterDevelopment during ''Legends'' Season 1, as Cold starts embracing his heroic side while Mick refuses to change.
* VillainProtagonist: He is part of the main EnsembleCast of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' and is their ''very'' proud TokenEvilTeammate.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: He rejoins the Team partly because he finds out that he ''can't'' bring himself to kill Cold no matter how badly he wants to, and out of good old self preservation.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: While he and Snart are longtime friends, they're perfectly willing to point guns at each other if one of them screws up a job. And with regards to the Legends, they very quickly showed willingness to conduct heists and follow personal vendettas at the most inopportune times for the team.
* WouldHitAGirl: He tries to kill Sara in "Marooned". Snart also considers that he might harm his sister if they dump him in 2016, and brings up the same possibility regarding [[UnderestimatingBadassery Sara's sister]] and Stein's wife. Ironically, Snart's solution, to leave Mick KO'ed and, yes, marooned, in the middle of nowhere, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy led to the pickup and transformation that resulted in Mick getting to even think of such a plan]].

!! Gideon II
[[quoteright:268:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gideon.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Amy Pemberton

An artificially intelligent construct from the future that was created by Barry Allen and is now seemingly commonplace.

!! Later Additions

----

* TookALevelInBadass: Once he rejoins the team after his stint as Chronos, he becomes more strategic and articulate, and even functions as TheLancer to Rip from time to time. He also becomes a much better and physically stronger fighter, capable of punching out armoured mooks with his bare hands and even defeated an incarnation of Savage in melee when previously Savage curbstomped him.

** In his introductory episode, Joe notes that while Snart has faced setbacks in the past, once he sets his sights on a prize, he never gives up until he gets it. In the same episode, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness we see what happens]] to members of his crew who [[KnowsWhenToFoldEm don't share his persistence]].

* DeadpanSnarker: Arguably the biggest snarker in a group alredy filled to the brim with them. Much like in his ''Flash'' appearances Snart can't resist taking the piss out of anyone and everyone he comes across, especially if that person happens to be [[ButtMonkey Ray]].

As the leader of the Rogues, in the comics he's more interested in petty theft (and even calls out those who harm women and children or at least try to); here, his main goal is to defeat the Flash.

* AntiHero: A shameless crook whose morals aren't exactly sterling, but here, Snart is, more or less, solidly one of the good guys.
* ArchEnemy: For Barry, second to the Reverse Flash. "Wells" actually goes on to call him Barry's "nemesis". The animosity between them only escalated after the events of "Rogue Air". But, after the events of "Family of Rogues" they become more like friendly enemies.
* TheAtoner: He let himself be taken to jail after killing his father, and then got a talk from Barry that he didn't need to be defined by his past and could still turn his life around if he really wanted to, which ultimately convinced him to join the team.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: It's mentioned he studies potential targets for months before making his move, and describes police deployment and response time with extreme precision when the Flash foils the robbery in Going Rogue.

* BigBrotherInstinct: He's protective of Lisa, and he'll do anything to save her - even working with his much hated dad.

* CardCarryingVillain: One of the few in modern television. In particular, he's a rare live action Card Carrying Supervillain. He's the first of Barry's rogues to really embrace the villain nickname given to him by Cisco, and most of his subsequent appearances have him diving into supervillain tropes headfirst and trying his damnedest to play the role to the hilt (such as making his feud with the Flash public, recruiting metahumans and forgoing the payoff for the thrill of facing the Flash) because he enjoys it far more than being a regular criminal, which initially confuses some of the more practical minded crooks he works with (at least before he converts them).

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: This Snart is a firm believer in TrueCompanions that comments he would never abandon his crew, while he was a BadBoss in Season 1 of The Flash that killed several of his men for trying to back out of a job.

** In his introductory episode, Joe notes that while Snart has faced setbacks in the past, once he sets his sights on a prize, he never gives up until he gets it. In the same episode, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness we see what happens]] to members of his crew who [[KnowsWhenToFoldEm don't share his persistence.]]

* FriendlyEnemy: He has this to a degree with The Flash and his team it least from his own side as shown in Rogue Air where he chats amiably with them, seems to respect them and is willing to protect Barry from Deathbolt. However he's still a (self admitted) liar and criminal and he's not afraid to manipulate and use the team to get what he wants.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: From ordinary street thug to Central City's first true supervillain in a matter of days.
* GadgeteerGenius: While not as smart as Cisco - he's not able to create a new cold gun by himself - he is smart enough to disassemble, then reassemble it, and is familiar enough with its mechanics to know when Cisco tries to sabotage the second one Cold is forcing him to make.

* HeelFaceTurn: He slowly makes one over the course of the first season after starting out as a TokenEvilTeammate. By season's end, it gets to the point where he's willing to make a HeroicSacrifice to give the rest of the team their best chance at fulfilling their ultimate mission of stopping Savage.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He and Heat Wave stay on the team just for the opportunity to kill people and steal stuff. And later to avenge Carter's death. Eventually, he does come around to the rest of the team's viewpoint, but Rory doesn't.

* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He and Cold stay on the team just for the opportunity to kill people and steal stuff. After taking a liking to hellish state of Star City in 2046, Rory is perfectly willing to abandon the team and the mission to live out his days in the BadFuture.

** Once Lisa joins the Rogues, Mick noticeably falls to the wayside, while Lisa becomes Cold preferred partner, since she's much more sane and stable than Mick is. Hell, Mick didn't even appear in Season Two, before he was {{Transplant}}ed to ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
** He had the least screen time in the trailers as well as CharacterDevelopment going into ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''. However, come the midpoint of the series, its revealed that he was Chronos the entire time, after he felt he was betrayed by Snart's change of heart, and he gets more focus from there in.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: He and Snart have already shown willingness to conduct heists and follow personal vendettas at the most inopportune times for the team. He and Snart are also this, as while they seem to be friends, they're perfectly willing to point guns at each other if one of them screws up a job.

* RaceLift: Most versions of Hawkgirl have been Caucasian in the comics (although [[Creator/MariaCanalsBarrera her voice actress]] in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' was Hispanic, and the character had an AmbiguouslyBrown DarkSkinnedRedhead appearance). She is likely based on [[{{ComicBook/Earth2}} Kendra Saunders from Earth-2]], who is hispanic.

* Manipulative Bastard: Clearly enjoys manipulating events to benefit himself.

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted. The guys sans Carter (who plays the "smash" part straight) are the ones equipped with long ranged weapons (or power in Stein's and Jax's case as Firestorm), while the girls are mainly equipped for melee combat.

* BadassNormal: He's not a meta-human. He's just a criminal who got his hands on extremely powerful weapon that made him dangerous. And even without it he shows his most dangerous weapon is his brain. He's also the first villain to score a clear victory over Barry. He's so skilled that in "Family of Rogues", after finally arresting him, Joe and Barry agree that it's for the best that they put him into the new metahuman wing of Iron Heights Prison, even though he's not superpowered.

* AbusiveParents: His father was a bad cop who took his anger out on him and his sister. He's still dealing with the scars left by this well into adulthood. He ended u killing him.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Captain Cold of the comics is a very strict AntiVillain, who detests the idea of killing people unless he has to, especially innocents, would actively work to avoid civilian casualties, and was a FriendlyEnemy with Barry. In the show, he's far more willing to endanger innocents (though, while he does mention not liking the idea of killing police officers, he specifies it's due to PragmaticVillainy, not morals), even outright killing a man in cold blood (pun intended) to distract the Flash, and repeatedly kills other criminals he does deal with to avoid them spilling any information about him. He still seems to respect the Flash, but not to the same extent.

* {{Iconic Sequel Character}}s: All of them except Sara[[note]]And even she was played by [[ThePeteBest a different actress at the time.[[/note]] were introduced starting at least during the Arrowverse's third year.

* TheSmartGuy: He is aworld-renowned scientist. he and Ray also share the role of their team's resident scientists.

* TheSmartGuy: He and Prof. Stein share the role of their team's resident scientists.

* TheSmartGuy: He and Ray share the role of TheTeam's resident scientists.

* GenreSavvy: He continues to display this trait. As soon as the Atom starts TemptingFate he ''knows'' something bad is going to happen.

* GenreSavvy: He may not be the smartest guy in the room, but he can read people and situations like they were a pop-up book.

! The Legends
[[folder: General Tropes]]

* CivvieSpandex: Rip Hunter, Captain Cold and Heat Wave do not wear traditional superhero costumes. [[spoiler:However, Heat Wave does have a supervillain costume as the temporal bounty hunter known as Chronos.]]

* ItsPersonal: The reason the team chooses to stick together at the end of Pilot Part 2 is because [[spoiler:Savage killed Carter and they want to avenge him.]]
* TheLancer: The Atom, Captain Cold and White Canary take turns. [[spoiler: Once Mick rejoins TheTeam after his stint as Chronos, he also starts playing this role from time to time.]]

** Played far more dramatically in the show itself, as [[spoiler:Rip admits that he lied about them all being legends in the future, and actually chose them because they're completely meaningless to history and their deaths wouldn't have any impact if the mission failed. They decide to keep going, and possibly make their lives have meaning.]]
* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:Even after TheReveal mentioned above, the rest decided to go along with the mission and become legends on their time. Likewise, Rip's main objective is to stop Savage from becoming the powerful conqueror he will become.]]

* SuperheroSpeciation: Averted. The team includes both Firestorm and Heat Wave, two fire-based characters, along with Hawkman and Hawkgirl. From a non-superhero standpoint, there are two scientists on the team: Dr. Martin Stein and Dr. Ray Palmer. Played with, however, as [[spoiler:Hawkman is killed in the second episode, making Hawkgirl the only one with their power-set]].

----
!! Original Team

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler:This version gave him [[CanonForeigner a dead family]] that he's trying to avenge, and the guilt of bringing along people for him to do it.]]

* AdultFear: [[spoiler:Having your family killed by a powerful madman.]]
* TheAntichrist: Feared as "the Garib" by [[spoiler:Vandal Savage's cult]] for [[spoiler:his (unsuccessful) attempt to assassinate Savage shortly after his ascension to immortality]].
-->"Every myth has its monster, and for [[spoiler:those of our order]], it's him. The Garib."

* BadassFamily: [[spoiler:His wife and son were ''both'' DefiantToTheEnd when Savage came to kill them.]]

* BattleCouple: [[spoiler:It is revealed that his wife Miranda was a member of the Time Masters.]]

* BlatantLies: [[spoiler:Rip manages to recruit the team by telling them how they all are regarded as a Legendary Team in the future. He later reveals that it was a lie all along and he only recruited them because of their relative ''lack'' of impact on the future.]]

* CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler:Thanks to StableTimeLoop, him travelling back in time to try and kill Savage becomes the main reason why Savage targeted his family in the first place.]]
* CrusadingWidower: [[spoiler:Savage killed his wife along with their son. This is what pushes him to relentlessly stop Savage.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He was a street urchin and thief until the Time Masters picked him up for training, and is even able to use his younger self as a trap for the Pilgrim, because he trusts completely that the kid will attack her.]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:He leaves the Time Masters since they're content to let Savage conquer the world and do nothing.]]
* ForbiddenRomance: [[spoiler:He fell in love and started a family against Time Master rules. Savage killing them is what drives him to undo their deaths.]]

* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:Savage killed his family.]]
* HeroicBSOD: When he discovers that [[spoiler:the Time Masters have been manipulating the team all along to help Savage conquer Earth.]]

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Technically, as he is centuries younger than the other Legends and Jonah Hex. Or so it seems. [[spoiler: When the team first visit the Refuge he was raised in, he tells them that the Time Masters fill their ranks with "orphans pulled from throughout the course of history" and later in the episode he describes his younger self as "a cut-purse since the age of five". "Cut-purse" seems quite an anachronistic term for a native of the 22nd Century to use, and it's [[OlderThanSteam used in]] [[Theatre/HenryV Shakespeare]]. So it's more than possible that Rip (or rather [[GivenNameReveal Michael]]) was born centuries ''before'' the other legends or even Jonah Hex.]]
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Again, he's understandably got issues with someone who personally murders his family.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He traveled back to before Savage became immortal and had a chance to kill him, but he failed.]]

* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:Miranda and Jonas are already corpses when he finds them.]]

* TheOathBreaker: [[spoiler:Time Masters are not supposed to have families, but he fell in love and started one. Later, he reveals that he's a RogueAgent out on a personal mission against Savage.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Savage killed his son along with his wife. This is what pushes him to relentlessly stop Savage.]]
* PursuedProtagonist: [[spoiler:The Time Masters are after him.]]
* PapaWolf: Part of the reason why he goes after Savage is to [[spoiler: undo his family's deaths at his hands.]]
* ReformedCriminal: [[spoiler: He was a StreetUrchin before the Time Masters took him in.]]
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:His main motive in opposing Savage is to avenge his wife and son]].

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:He disobeys the Time Masters and goes back in time to stop Savage.]]

A genius scientist and billionaire who uses a powered armor suit to fight crime as The Atom. See Characters/ArrowRecurringCharacters for other tropes.

* AdaptationalBadass: The Atom suit in the comics is traditionally used for infiltration and utility, and Ray otherwise FightsLikeANormal. In the ''Arrowverse'', it gets immense combat capabilities rivaling that of Iron Man's suit.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Seems to be filling in for IronMan (see AdaptationalBadass) although his closest marvel counterpart is still AntMan.
** The parallels became even clearer in "Leviathan" when he [[spoiler:[[ReversePolarity reverses the polarity]] of the dwarf star matrix in his suit to become a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant.]]]] Something Hank Pym achieved many years ago and never looked back.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In "Progeny", we find out that Ray has a younger brother Sydney... [[spoiler:who ends up taking of Ray's ideas and making them his own.]]
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: [[spoiler: In "Leviathan" Ray has the power of the auxiliary time drive siphoned into his suit in order to [[ReversePolarity reverse the polarity of the dwarf star matrix]] in order to make him grow big enough to fight the Leviathan robot hand to hand]].

* HotTeacher: He works a college professor when [[spoiler:he, Kendra and Sara were stuck in TheSixties]].
* HotScientist: He's a brilliant scientist and {{Mr.Fanservice}}.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Much as he loves Kendra, Ray ultimately steps aside, recognising that Carter is her soul mate.]]

* LoveHurts: Has a dead fiancee, and despite being a genuine NiceGuy, he still ends up as a RomanticRunnerUp for both Felicity and [[spoiler: Kendra]].

* {{Mr.Fanservice}}: He gets a ShirtlessScene with Mick while in a Russian prison.

* NiceGuy: He's generally a well-meaning guy. Episode 4 reveals that he was even a Boy Scout. He's so nice that [[spoiler:when Kendra and Carter get back together, Ray shows no resentment and wishes them well.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the long run, his choice to fight [[spoiler: Vandal Savage while he's locked up in a prison cell not only results in the BigBad escaping, but causes the death of Rip's family as well.]]

* PoweredArmor: His primary arsenal.

* ShrinkRay: Out of the blue, he gets one for the final episode of Season 1. He uses it to shrink a Thanagarian meteor to such a small speck, that its explosion is just a fart in a bottle instead of a planet-buster.
* TheSmartGuy: He and Prof. Stein share the role of TheTeam's resident scientists.

* TookALevelInDumbass: Ray's intelligence has taken a severe drop compared to how he was on ''Arrow''. For instance, Ray shows how GenreBlind he is as the other teammates comically correct him on his mistakes and plays around with the IdiotBall a little too often. But, the biggest, stupidest mistake would have to be when he [[spoiler: gives in to Savage's manipulation and enters his prison cell to fight him one on one ''without'' his ATOM suit. This results in Savage beating the crap out of him and escaping to kill numerous more people, including his friend Rip's family.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: As the trailer says, he has a lot of powerful tech but he's too inexperienced to use it to its full potential.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/CaityLotz

The original [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Canary]] of the Arrowverse, she is a lethal assassin who died and was resurrected in the Lazarus Pit. She took the name White Canary to differentiate herself from her sister Laurel, a.k.a. Black Canary. See Characters/ArrowRecurringCharacters for other tropes.

* ActionGirl: Sara is the best fighter of the team; while the others rely on tech or superpowers, she uses her martial arts skills.

* BackFromTheDead: She died in the third season premiere of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' but was revived in the fourth season via submersion in a Lazarus Pit and subsequent [[Series/{{Constantine}} aid]].
* BadassBoast: In the second part of the Pilot, she claims she could kick the ass of a bunch of "70s rent-a-cops" in her sleep, much less while stoned.

* BiTheWay: In ''Arrow'', she is shown to have deep feelings for both Oliver Queen and [[LipstickLesbian Nyssa Al-Ghul]]. In the pilot of the series, she's hit on by a guy in a bar only to tell him that a woman nearby "is more my speed."

* BreakoutCharacter: She was originally supposed to be just a PlotDevice for her older sister's journey to become Black Canary, but she quickly became a fan-favorite character upon her introduction. After she got killed in the Season 3 premiere, '''a lot''' of fans were upset. The showrunners eventually saw how beloved of a character she was and found a way to literally bring her BackFromTheDead, and she is now one of the main characters of her own show.
* CameBackWrong: Being brought back by the Lazarus Pit gave her an increased aggression that can only be permanently dealt with by killing the person who killed her, Thea Queen. Since she's obviously not willing to do that, she has to get by with occasionally killing other people to drive off the urge, which is why she left Team Arrow shortly after being brought back.

* CompositeCharacter: The White Canary is actually Sara's third comic counterpart. Back when she was The Canary, she had shades of both the Dinah Drake Lance [[note]]Laurel's predecessor and BadassNormal [[/note]] and Dinah Laurel Lance [[note]] Dinah's daughter, bisexual, BattleCouple with Oliver/The Arrow and parent figure to Sin [[/note]] versions of the Black Canary ([[DecompositeCharacter who in the show are her mother and older sister, respectively]]).
* CryCute: [[spoiler: After she finally learns of her sister's death.]]

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: See IAmAMonster bellow. Like Ray, she doesn't have high self-esteem, even if its improved since her time on ''Series/{{Arrow}}''; when her bloodlust takes over especially she tends to get very big on self-loathing.

* LadyOfWar: She moves as gracefully as ever in a fight with acrobatics and dance-like twirls, which she combines with efficient kicks and blows from her staff. Her [[WomanInWhite costume]] as the White Canary is also rather elegant.

* MsFanservice: Thanks to her FanserviceCostumes. Several people on her team, including Stein and Jax, take notice, and the former actually calls her a "sexy assassin from the future" when calling her out on flirting with his younger self, which she [[{{Troll}} finds very amusing]].
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:Laurel was killed-off while Sara is at the middle of the mission with TheTeam. WordOfGod says that she will find out at the first SeasonFinale.]]

* OfCorsetsSexy: Much like her previous one, the White Canary costume is also a corset.

* RaceLift: The White Canary is Asian in the comics.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Her donning the White Canary identity has made the character related to the Lance/Black Canary family by default. In the comics, the White Canary is an unrelated character who is a self-appointed ArchEnemy of (the Dinah Laurel Lance version) Black Canary.

* SimpleStaff: Her WeaponOfChoice, carrying over from her ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.

* TheyKilledKennyAgain: After supposedly dying twice and being really killed once but brought back with the Lazarus Pit, it might become a little hard to take any threat to her life seriously.

* ZettaiRyouiki: The trailer shows her wearing Grade C boots when the team travels to TheSeventies. In the episode, however, she says she can't wait for their mission to be over so she can ditch them.

[[folder: Martin Stein / Firestorm IA]]

The creator of Project F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M., the night of the particle accelerator explosion, he fused with Ronnie Raymond to become the superhero Firestorm. See Characters/TheFlash2014SupportingCast for other tropes.

* {{Adorkable}}: In "Marooned", he gleefully takes on the role of "Space Ranger", a comic that he loved as a child.
* BadassGrandpa: Being the mind behind Firestorm, he's definitely awesome.
** As seen in episode 7, he's shown to be quite capable even not as Firestorm [[spoiler:when he helps free the crew after they're captured by the space pirates]].

* BroughtDownToNormal: When Firestorm helped Barry [[spoiler:close a singularity threatening to destroy Central City, Ronnie apparently died]], leaving Stein without full access to his Firestorm powers. He regained them when he fused with Jax instead.

** He has another one when his interactions with his past self cause the timeline to be changed such that he never married Clarissa. [[spoiler:Rip fixes it for him, knowing the pain of losing a wife.]]

** Subverted in Episode 7. [[spoiler:When Rip and the others are captured by the space pirates, it's up to him to rescue them. And boy, does he ever do.]]

* StaticCharacter: DiscussedTrope. After seeing his past self he's afraid for 60 years of life he hasn't matured at all. Jay assures him this isn't true.

* {{Transplant}}: He was a major key character on the first season of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' and a RecurringCharacter in the second.

An ex-football player whose [[CareerEndingInjury career was scrapped due to an injury]], Jax works as both a car mechanic and the other half of Firestorm after Ronnie Raymond's death at the beginning of ''The Flash''[='=]s second season.

* CareerEndingInjury: In high school, he tore a ligament in his leg that not only ended his promising football future, it almost cost him his life when he ran to save Stein from Volstok.

* DisappearedDad: He never knew his father, as he killed in action shortly after he was born. [[spoiler: He finally meets him near the end of Season 1.]]

* TagalongKid: He's the youngest member discounting Rip (who's from the future), though he didn't "tag along" of his own free will until the end of the first episode.

* HotLibrarian: Se works a college librarian when [[spoiler:she, Sara and Ray were stuck in TheSixties]].

* LoveMakesYouStupid: [[spoiler:She couldn't bring herself to kill Savage in 2166, as doing so would leave the brainwashed Carter trapped in Savage's conditioning. Ignoring the fact that Carter can reincarnate if killed, keeping Savage alive is a ''majorly'' bad idea which has severe consequences for the team not long afterwards.]]

* PsychicLink: She can feel whatever is happening to Carter [[spoiler:even after he's dead]].
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:She and Carter leave the team at the end of Season 1.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:When her warrior side takes over.]]

* SadisticChoice: Gets handed one in "Leviathan" courtesy of Savage. [[spoiler: Since Savage has had Carter's mind erased in order to prevent him from remembering his past Savage tells Kendra that she can either kill him and risk Carter forever loosing his memories or allow him to live in order to get said memories back. Kendra decides to choose the latter.]]

* SuperPoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:She seems to have one, complete with RedEyesTakewarning. Possibly one of her previous incarnations.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: After spending countless lifetimes and most of her on screen battles with Savage, either dead or near fatally wounded, [[spoiler: Kendra, with the help of Carter's mace imbued with the bracelet she wore on the night of her first death, almost manages to kill Savage singlehandedly. He only survives thanks to the SadisticChoice mentioned above]].

* AdvertisedExtra: [[spoiler: In virtue of being a SacrificialLion who bites it only after the second episode.]]

* {{Badass}}: Is able to hold his own against both Barry and Oliver. Alone.

* BettyAndVeronica: He is the Veronica to Cisco's Betty for Kendra.
* TheBigGuy: He's one of the team's go-to guys when it comes to fighting.
* BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: [[spoiler: He's one of the team's go-to guys when it comes to fighting and also the very first casualty.]]
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:By way of reincarnation; Carter returns to the team after they pick him up in 2166 and after he shakes off Savage's brainwashing. His new version is Scythian Torvil, but comes to answer to Carter Hall instead.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Savage brainwashed his 2100s incarnation to work for him.]]

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:His 2016 incarnation is killed by Vandal Savage in the second episode.]]

* DemotedToExtra: Invoked. [[spoiler: Unlike Creator/ColinDonnell (Tommy Merlyn) and Creator/RickCosnett (Eddie Thawne), his actor was not given a [[AndStarring "Special Guest Star"]] citation during his reappearances after his death [[note]] Former ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' mainstay Creator/ManuBennett (Slade Wilson), while his character is still alive, was also not given the same honor unlike the actor of the also still-living Roy Harper, Creator/ColtonHaynes [[/note]].]]
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He dies in Kendra's arms]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: {{Pun}}s aside, he makes his first appearance in the second ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' and ''Series/TheFlash2014'' {{Crossover}} before headlining ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* EliteMook: [[spoiler: His 22nd Century incarnation is Savage's most skilled PraetorianGuard.]]

* HeroOfAnotherStory: He is part of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''[='=]s EnsembleCast.
* HesBack: [[spoiler: After being killed by Savage in 1975, he reincarnates in the 22nd Century as his BrainwashedAndCrazy EliteMook. It wasn't until Kendra's in the verge of death where he finally breaks free from Savage's control and regain his memories.]]

* TheMentor: He teaches Hawkgirl on how to use her powers and fight as well as to adjust on the circumstances regarding their situation. [[spoiler:Like most mentors, he also bites it.]]

* OutOfFocus: The rest of the team gets a lot more focus and CharacterDevelopment than Carter. It's justified for most of the season, [[spoiler:because he's dead]], but this remains true even after [[spoiler:he returns; he spends the better part of two episodes brainwashed, gets shanked and hospitalised, and doesn't even appear in the following episode.]]

* PraetorianGuard: His 2100s incarnation works as one to [[spoiler: Vandal Savage after the latter brainwashed him]].

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He and Kendra leave the team at the end of Season 1.]]

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: A significant and badass character that was killed to establish that Savage isn't going to go down easy.]]

* StuffedInTheFridge: [[spoiler: His death is what really banded The Legends together against Savage. Possibly counts as a literal example too, as Savage possessed his remains for a while.]]
* SuperheroSpeciation: He and Kendra both have the exact same powerset, [[spoiler:which is likely why he's killed off to avoid making her redundant]].

* TheUnchosenOne: [[spoiler: Despite sharing a very similar role in the plot as Kendra, '''only she''' can permanently kill Savage.]]

* WeHardlyKnewYe: After only an episode each on ''Series/TheFlash2014'' and ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', and two episodes on this series, [[spoiler:Carter is killed by Vandal Savage.]]

* YouCantFightFate: [[spoiler:This incarnation of him still dies at the hands of Vandal Savage, except this time [[Series/TheFlash2014 Barry]] is not here to push the ResetButton.]]

A world-class thief who became one of Central City’s supervillains. See Characters/TheFlash2014NonMetahumanCriminals for other tropes.

* AbusiveParents: He's still dealing with the scars left by his criminal father, who he recently killed.

* AndStarring: Much like his appearances on ''Series/TheFlash2014'', except this time it's on the main OBB.

* BadassNormal: Him, Mick, and Sara have no powers unlike most members of the team but they were picked to be members for a reason.

* CardCarryingVillain: One of the few in modern television.

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Killed in the explosion of the Oculus.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: While he starts out as largely uninterested in stopping Savage, after [[spoiler: Carter dies]] and he witnesses the horrors that Savage plans to unleash, Snart forms a (somewhat [[{{Pun}} frosty]] at times) loyalty to the team, and reaches the point where he refuses to abandon the mission to stop Savage. [[spoiler: Later he genuinely comes to the rest of the team's views.]]

* ConflictingLoyalty: It doesn't start that way, but Snart ends up having to choose between his newfound loyalty to the team and his lifelong friendship with Mick. [[spoiler:After Mick's betrayal in "Marooned", Snart chooses the team.]]
* CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler:By refusing to kill Mick, Snart inadvertently creates Chronos.]]

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: His FamousLastWords even evokes this.]]

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:He freezes his own hand solid, then shatters it, frees himself from Chronos' handcuffs, and makes his way through Nanda Parbat with barely any sign of pain (apart from when he shattered the hand). And this was before he even knew that the Ship could recreate his hand.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a thief, but he no longer kills unless it's in self-defense, and he isn't pleased with some of Savage's more brutal acts. When he sees the crime-ridden Star City of 2046, he hates it as it's just mindless thuggery, no skill and also the lack of fun in being a crook in a world with no law.
* FreezeRay: His Cold Gun.
* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: [[spoiler:During his HeroicSacrifice: ''"There are no strings on me."'']]

* HeelFaceTurn: He slowly makes one over the course of the first season after starting out as a TokenEvilTeammate. [[spoiler: By season's end, it gets to the point where he's willing to make a HeroicSacrifice to give the rest of the team their best chance at fulfilling their ultimate mission of stopping Savage.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Let the irony sink in. Cold sacrifices his life to destroy the Occulus.]]

* {{Irony}}: The man who claimed "hero ain't on my resume" [[spoiler:ultimately dies a hero. Ray even remarks that the last thing Snart would have wanted said about him is that he was a hero.]]
* ItsPersonal: His reason for going after Savage. [[spoiler: He may not have known Carter from Adam (his words), but Carter was part of his crew all the same, so killing him put Savage on Cold's shit list.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: While he is a crook and kind of a jerk, Snart is very smart and perceptive. For instance, his suggestion of [[spoiler:killing Per Degaton as a child]] would arguably have worked out for the best had the team followed through on it.

* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler: He was never able to have a last moment with his sister, presumably his only living relative.]]
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: He and Heat Wave stay on the team just for the opportunity to kill people and steal stuff. [[spoiler: And later to avenge Carter's death. Eventually, he does come around to the rest of the team's viewpoint, but Rory doesn't.]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: After starting out as a criminal and then starting the first season as a TokenEvilTeammate, he gradually changed his ways culminating in him sacrificing himself for TheTeam.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: He and Mick as their elements and ColorMotif suggest. He's the more levelheaded of the two (Blue).
* TheSmartGuy: He's the most street smart of TheTeam.

* TokenEvilTeammate: His role in the team, along with Heat Wave. [[spoiler: He starts to grow out of it.]]

* TrueCompanions: While he might not like specific people in the group he's in, once you roll with him, anyone who messes his crew will pay the price. [[spoiler: After Carter dies, Snart throws his lot in with the team to get payback against Savage.]]

* VillainProtagonist: He is part of the main EnsembleCast and is their proud TokenEvilTeammate.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He and Mick have already shown willingness to conduct heists and follow personal vendettas at the most inopportune times for the team.

A deranged criminal with a fixation with fire and Leonard Snart's partner in crime. See Characters/TheFlash2014NonMetahumanCriminals for other tropes.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Played with. This is the first known StoryArc where ([[AlternateSelf the main]]) Heat Wave is portrayed as one of the main characters, but is a TokenEvilTeammate. [[spoiler: He ultimately subverts this by betraying the team, and it's DoubleSubverted when he rejoins them and redeems himself.]]

* AndStarring: Much like his appearances on ''Series/TheFlash2014'', except this time it's on the main OBB.

* BaldOfEvil: Just reminding everyone that he ''is'' one of the two {{Token Evil Teammate}}s.

* TheBigGuy: He's one of the team's go-to guys when it comes to fighting, and '''loves''' that role.

* CantHoldHisLiquor: He ''used'' to be a heavy drinker, but [[spoiler:years or longer at the Vanishing Point]] without any alcohol mean that Sara easily drinks him under the table.

** ''Series/TheFlash2014'' tie-in called "The Chronicles of Cisco" mentions the existence of the ''Film/MissionImpossible'' film series to the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}. Dominic Purcell was on ''Film/MissionImpossibleII''. The film franchise was then acknowledge on-screen during Season 2.
** Possibly. ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' is acknowledged to exist in this universe, a show which also stars Creator/SarahWayneCallies, his ''Series/PrisonBreak'' co-star and LoveInterest of Miller's character.

** Averted; even though he takes a liking to Stein and Sara, he's still a criminal at heart and he's more interested in stealing stuff and setting things on fire than stopping Savage. [[spoiler: His failure to change causes his friendship with Snart to crumble and him to betray the team.]]
** He finally gets some real development after he returns from [[spoiler:being Chronos]]. He's much calmer and takes orders well, to the point that in the Wild West episode, when everyone insists on seeing the town, he promises Hunter that he'll keep an eye on them. Unfortunately, he passes out during a drinking contest with Sara, and the team immediately starts a bar fight.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: He becomes Chronos.]]

* DumbMuscle: After going back to the '70s, he gets irritated that there's "nothing but reruns" on TV. Jackson apparently already tried to explain it and tells Sara not to bother. [[spoiler: Rip later tells him he was only recruited because he and Cold were a "package deal".]]
* EasilyForgiven: Big time. [[spoiler: The team apparently forgets that he turned on them ''before'' the Time Masters got their hands on him.]] See also WelcomeBackTraitor below.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: He can't come to terms with the idea that Snart may actually be trying to do a good thing for its own sake, or call the Legends his team when Rory says ''they'' were a team. Snart has to flat out say "people change", and it ''still'' doesn't seem to kick in any more than for him to assume it a betrayal by Snart.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: He betrays the team in "Marooned", siding with the Time Pirates. Taken even further when he becomes Chronos. He pulls a HeelFaceTurn after being captured and shaking off the Time Masters' brainwashing.]]

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Savage has had thousands of years to study every martial art under the sun. By contrast, Mick is not noted to have any particular martial training beyond simply being in a lot of bar fights, [[spoiler: yet Mick still goes toe to toe with Savage in the season finale]].

* KnightOfCerebus: After the events of "Star City 2046", [[spoiler:his betrayal of the team and TheReveal he was Chronos]], whatever he is around, Mick puts the series into an entirely new and darker light.
* LargeHam: Even more than in his last show, if that's possible.

* MoralMyopia: [[spoiler:As Chronos, he fully blames the other Legends for being left stranded, seeking revenge and planning to kill Snart's sister over and over again while forcing Snart to watch. Rory seems to forget that he was abandoned after he betrayed the team to a gang of pirates and tried to kill Sara, and that the only reason he was alive at all is because Snart showed him mercy.]]
* MoreThanMindControl: Implied [[spoiler: after he reveals his identity as Chronos to Snart.]]

* OutOfFocus: He had the least screen time in the trailers as well as CharacterDevelopment going into this series. However, come the midpoint of the series, [[spoiler:its revealed that he was Chronos the entire time, after he felt he was betrayed by Snart's change of heart, and he gets more focus from there in]].

* ThePowerOfHate: Says it was this that allowed him to [[spoiler:keep his mind after being made into Chronos.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:After noticing his relationship with his longtime friend drifting apart, coupled with Rip's untimely TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, he finally got fed up with everything and decides to betray everyone.]]

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: [[spoiler: After Rip tells him that he was only recruited because he and Cold were a "package deal", he betrays the team in an attempt to stop Snart and himself from joining the Legends by making a deal with some time pirates.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: His role in the team, along with Captain Cold. Unlike Cold, however, he didn't receive any AntiVillain CharacterDevelopment before the announcement of the series. He joins the team simply for the chance to steal some valuable items from the past, and upon Rip revealing the truth, elects to stay on because "I like killing people." It eventually turns out that [[spoiler: literally the only reason Rip invited him was because he knew Snart wouldn't come without him; he is ''not'' pleased to learn this]].
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Once he rejoins the team after his stint as Chronos, he becomes more strategic and articulate, and even functions as TheLancer to Rip from time to time. He also becomes a much better and physically stronger fighter, capable of punching out armoured mooks with his bare hands and even defeated an incarnation of Savage in melee when previously Savage curbstomped him.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: He's still a rather gruff fellow, but after [[spoiler:his time as Chronos]], he's more calm and patient. This is best shown with [[spoiler:the Time Masters' second attempt to brainwash him. The first time, Mick kept his identity by holding on to his hatred for the team. The second time, he held on to his true self by focusing on his need to save the team.]]

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: Rory is last seen facing the business end of Snart's cold gun. Whether or not Snart actually killed him is unclear, but at least some of the team seem to believe that he did. It turns out that he didn't die; the Time Masters made him Chronos.]]
* VillainProtagonist: He is part of the main EnsembleCast and is their proud TokenEvilTeammate.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: [[spoiler: He rejoins the Team partly because he finds out that he ''can't'' bring himself to kill Cold no matter how badly he wants to, and out of good old self preservation.]]
* WithFriendsLikeThese: He and Snart have already shown willingness to conduct heists and follow personal vendettas at the most inopportune times for the team.
* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:He tries to kill Sara in "Marooned". Snart also considers that he might harm his sister if they dump him in 2016, and brings up the same possibility regarding [[UnderestimatingBadassery Sara's sister]] and Stein's wife. Ironically, Snart's solution, to leave Mick KO'ed and, yes, marooned, in the middle of nowhere, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy led to the pickup and transformation that resulted in Mick getting to even think of such a plan]].]]

[[folder: Gideon]]

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: She's benevolent and doesn't show much sign of autonomy, but Gideon demonstrates a lot of loyalty to Rip and the Legends, and [[spoiler:during Rip's attempted HeroicSacrifice, she admits that she doesn't want to die.]]
