[[folder: Golden Age Star Sapphire]]
!!Golden Age Star Sapphire
->'''Homeworld:''' Unknown
A woman of unknown name from an unknown world, this Star Sapphire was chosen by the Zamarons to be their champion years before the Star Sapphire Corps was formed. She was found unworthy, however, and was banished to the Seventh Dimension. Jay Garrick, TheFlash, battled her twice when she escaped. Her connection to later-day Star Sapphires was only made in her third appearance 60 years later.
* DesignatedGirlFight: With all the men banished, Joan and other women tried to fight her, but she used her powers to spin them around until they started to disintegrate from the friction. Jay helped get them back to normal.
* DimensionLord: She's the queen of the Seventh Dimension and has control over all its facets.
* DoesNotLikeMen: She banished all men from Earth, including the Flash, in her second appearance.
* MultiversalConqueror: She tried to take over all dimensions at least twice.
* NoNameGiven: She doesn't have a name, unless her name ''is'' Star Sapphire as opposed to it being a title.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In a meta sense, as while she started as and remains a Flash villain the Star Sapphire name became associated with Green Lantern.
* SmugSnake: She's very fond of boasting how her seventh dimension powers make her unstoppable, but is quick to panic when her plans fail.
* TimeLord: One of her powers is control over the fifth dimension, time, which Jay combats with his speed.

[[folder:The Black Widow]]
A one-time enemy of the Golden Age Flash, the Black Widow is Princess Helene. She is a widowed gangster who robbed men, but instead of killing them, her magic wine turned them into animals, which she added to her menagerie. She met her end by drinking the wine herself and turning into a black widow spider, and was promptly stepped on by one of her lionesses.
* TheBeastmaster: She collects exotic animals, including lions, chimpanzees, leopards, and cheetahs.

Not to be confused with the Turtle Man, the Turtle is a foe of Jay Garrick, using his brains and paralyzing gas to slow the speedster down. His gimmick was slow, deliberate planning.
* DeathByIrony: He set the Flash up to die via heated electrons, which would sap his speed slowly if he didn't move and quickly if he did. Jay escaped by twisting enough to send smoke signals, allowing a Junior JSA member to rescue him.
* GeniusBonus: In-universe, his crimes were speed-related ''and'' slow-related, such as stealing a plant that takes 100 years to bloom that was transported on a fast-moving train. It took the Flash a while to catch on.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His helmet is hard enough to deflect bullets.

->'''AKA:''' Frances Kane
A jealous ex-girlfriend of Wally's and a metahuman with the power of magnetic field manipulation. Kane's powers and troubled past left her mentally unstable and prone to lashing out, eventually becoming a supervillain after trauma suffered and a rejection from the Flash pushed her over the deep end. After working for Cicada briefly, she became an on-again-off-again member of the Rogues.
* AbusiveParents: After her powers activated, her religious fundamentalist mother believed that Frances was possessed and disowned her.
* CantStayNormal: Even when she tries to live life without using her insanity-causing powers, situations arise that force her to use them and risk going mad.
* ChronicVillainy: See CantStayNormal and WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity. A nasty downside to her powers.
* TheDragon: To Cicada in "Blood Will Run".
* ExtraOreDinary: Technically, she's actually using magnetic field manipulations.
* FallenHero: First she was a hero who sometimes went through odd mood swings. Then she was neutral, realizing she had problems and seeking help, but ended up being taken advantage of which made her issues worse. Then she was an AntiVillain, able to live a normal happy life as long as she kept her powers in check, but violently insane once she started using them. And then she finally fell completely, to the point where her good side barely ever returns any more.
* FreudianThreat: She continually tells Girder that if he keeps hitting on her, she'll tear him in two. When she does, it's a messy enough vertical tear that he's unlikely to have genitals after.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Especially in the 90's, but not so much after the ordeal with Cicada.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: She didn't initially want to be a hero, but Wally pressured her into using her powers. Now that she's a supervillain, in her more AxCrazy moments she sometimes blames Wally for not letting her be normal.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Initially, Wally's pressuring her to become a superhero pushed her to use powers she associated with her father's death, making her lash out violently. Later, she worships Wally, and kills in his name.
* TheMentallyIll: Magenta really is mentally ill and could seriously use some therapy, but her violent mood swings and powers make it incredibly difficult for her to get treatment.
* TheMissusAndTheEx: She's the Ex in the DidYouJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu situation in Linda Park's entry.
* MoodSwinger: Due to her SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: Although at the core the "psycho" and "ex-girlfriend" parts are separate. It helps her case that she actually has a mental illness to back this up: in the rare cases where she has control of herself, she has no problem not being with Wally and even became friends with Linda Park.
* SelfMadeOrphan: She killed her father by accident when her powers manifested; she later claims to have killed her mother intentionally at some point.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Magenta, originally her superhero
* TragicVillain
* TraumaCongaLine: The poor girl lost her father and brother when her powers activated and was disowned by her {{Jerkass}} mother soon after.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Her powers always caused violent moodswings, but they got more and more severe until it turned into a SuperpoweredEvilSide. Eventually she couldn't use them without becoming a supervillain.

Barry Allen's twin brother. The Allens and the Thawnes came to the same doctor for the same reason, because both wives were pregnant and about to deliver; however, the doctor accidentally killed the Thawnes' child, then out of guilt gave them one of the Allens' twins and told the Allens that that twin had died. When an adult Malcolm found out, he set out to destroy Barry for having everything he himself could have had but never did. He utilized a magical blue flame that could rob speed from anyone connected to the Flash legacy.

* KillItWithFire: At least one of his descendants used the inherited Cobalt Blue flame to murder his Flash's wife this way.

* MundaneUtility: Malcolm's adopted father used the blue flame to pull cons. Malcolm's adopted grandmother was disgusted by this, and consequently was delighted to find an eager student in Malcolm, who would subvert the trope by using the flame to its maximum potential.

[[folder:Gorilla Grodd]]
[[quoteright:160:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gorilla-grodd_dc_pictureboxart_160w_873.jpg]]
A renegade from the hidden Gorilla City, Grodd is a mad genius and warlord who wants to destroy humanity and make Earth the dominion of apes. He was endowed with sentience by a radioactive meteor along with the other apes of Gorilla City, but also gained vast telepathic powers. Grodd has a formidable intellect offset by an animal's fury. He originally clashed with Barry Allen and has gone on to menace the entire Flash family.
* AGodAmI: In ''[=JLApe=]: Gorilla Warfare''. "I am the Lord thy Grodd! All shall bow before me!"
* {{Archenemy}}: Had a solid claim on this title during the SilverAge, when he was the only serious threat in the Flash's RoguesGallery of otherwise {{Harmless Villain}}s. These days he's more of a general DCU villain, though he still hates the Flash family the most.
* TheArtifact[=/=]FadSuper[=/=]ReimaginingTheArtifact: Grodd was created at a time when gorillas were something of a fad in comics, TV shows, and movies; unlike most other characters created in that craze, like the Gorilla Boss of Gotham City or the Mod Gorilla Boss, however, Grodd has kept appearing and generally been updated to fit the tone of the times.
* BigBad: Of ''[=JLApe=]'' and the 1991 ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe'' miniseries.
* EvilCounterpart: Of King Solovar.
* EvilOverlord: Whenever he does achieve power, most notably during ''Flashpoint''.
* FantasticRacism: He views humans as a worthless mud race and regularly tries to wipe them from the face of the earth.
* FinalSolution: Wants all of humanity exterminated. In ''Flashpoint'' he does manage to kill most of Africa.
* GeniusBruiser: A six hundred pound gorilla with psychic powers.
* GreenEyedMonster: According to ''[=JLApe=]'', the reason he's evil is because he's insanely jealous of Solovar.
* ImAHumanitarian
* KillAllHumans
* KillerGorilla
* LegacyCharacter: He has a son, Gorbul Mammit, who fought Impulse.
* MadScientist
* ManipulativeBastard
* MindControlEyes: His eyes, and his victims' eyes, tend to glow magenta when he uses his telepathy.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A [[MadScientist mad scientist]], [[PsychicPowers psychic]], [[EvilOverlord world-conquering]], [[SuperStrength super-strong]], [[EvilGenius hyper-intelligent]] talking gorilla.
* [[OneManArmy One Ape Army]]: Despite talking and reasoning, Grodd is very much a wild animal, like a rabid gorilla with psionics. When a mishap leaves him free during a prisoner transport, the resulting rampage levels whole city blocks and leaves countless dead. It's implied that he does this in less than an hour.
* PsychicPowers
** MindOverMatter
** MindProbe
** PeoplePuppets
** {{Telepathy}}
* RedeemingReplacement: His grandson, Sam Simeon of ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe''.
* SuperStrength: Grodd is far, far stronger then your average gorilla.
* TouchedByVorlons
* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to Creator/PhilFoglio's ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe'' miniseries, Grodd's motive is that he believes Gorilla City will soon run out of resources, and that humans are in danger of destroying all of theirs. Hence the need to either "cull the herd" by killing most of the humans or turning them into apes. (Comics before and since have said that he's simply a madape who wants to TakeOverTheWorld.)

A surgeon turned serial killer obsessed with silencing the voices of everyone around him, Michael Amar was incriminated by his inability to keep from talking. While in Iron Heights Penitentiary, he took the name Murmur, cut out his own tongue, and sewed his mouth shut so he'd never incriminate himself again. Years later, he hatched a plot to escape from prison by using a deadly engineered disease to kill the guards and the Flash, but Wally, Jay, and the Pied Piper put an end to it. He has since become a persistent and deadly thorn in Wally's side.

* DeadlyDoctor
* KnifeNut

* EvilCanNotComprehendGood

The Allens and the Thawnes came to the same doctor for the same reason, because both wives were pregnant and about to deliver; however, the doctor accidentally killed the Thawnes' child, then out of guilt gave them one of the Allens' twins and told the Allens that that twin had died. When an adult Malcolm found out, he set out to destroy Barry for having everything he himself could have had but never did. He utilized a magical blue flame that could rob speed from anyone connected to the Flash legacy.
* AbusiveParents: His adopted parents used him as a tool for their cons and treated him terribly; their knowledge that he wasn't their biological child only made it worse.
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* CainAndAbel: Though Barry himself never knew it, as Malcolm never revealed himself to his brother.
* ConArtist: Malcolm's adopted parents used a magical blue flame as a miracle healing agent (with temporary effects) to pull stunts like this. Of course, the flame itself was meant for greater purposes, which Malcolm learned and studied from his adopted grandmother.
* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: He keeps the flame contained in a blue gem.
* EvilSorcerer
* EvilTwin
* FeudingFamilies: The originator of the Allen-West/Thawne feud.
* FreudianExcuse: Being given away at birth to a bunch of abusive con artists, then later finding out you have a twin who got a relatively good upbringing by your real parents...can you really blame him for [[TheResenter being angry]]?
* InTheBlood: He is the progenitor of the villainous Thawne family, whose bloodline includes Reverse-Flash Eobard Thawne and Thaddeus Thawne, alias Inertia.
* KillItWithFire: At least one of his descendants used the inherited Cobalt Blue flame to murder his Flash's wife this way.
* LegacyCharacter: He's a distant ancestor of the Reverse-Flash, Impulse, Inertia, and Captain Boomerang II. As well, there are 1000 years' worth of Cobalt Blues that follow in his footsteps by fighting their respective Flashes (who are all of the Allen bloodline).
* MundaneUtility: Malcolm's adopted father used the blue flame to pull cons. Malcolm's adopted grandmother was disgusted by this, and consequently was delighted to find an eager student in Malcolm, who would subvert the trope by using the flame to its maximum potential.
* PeoplePuppets: [[spoiler:Turned several generations of Flashes into this through a BatmanGambit involving shards of his gem, infused with his own spirit.]]
* TheResenter: Toward Barry, for having the wonderful life that Malcolm got cheated out of.

[[folder:Fallout]]
->'''AKA:''' Neil Borman
A former power plant worker who got exposed to nuclear radiation and essentially became a living radiation battery. He was introduced during the ''Iron Heights'' storyline, being kept in a containment cell that used him to power the entire prison.

->'''AKA:''' Tony Woodward
* BlessedWithSuck: His body oxidizes easily and painfully.

* MadeOfIron: Literally, following his StartOfDarkness.
* NeverMyFault: Girder's basic justifications for being a villain are "people did this to me and I don't deserve it," completely ignoring his past crimes.

[[folder:Gorilla Grodd]]
[[quoteright:160:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gorilla-grodd_dc_pictureboxart_160w_873.jpg]]
A renegade from the hidden Gorilla City, Grodd is a mad genius and warlord who wants to destroy humanity and make Earth the dominion of apes. He was endowed with sentience by a radioactive meteor along with the other apes of Gorilla City, but also gained vast telepathic powers. Grodd has a formidable intellect offset by an animal's fury. He originally clashed with Barry Allen and has gone on to menace the entire Flash family.
* AGodAmI: In ''[=JLApe=]: Gorilla Warfare''. "I am the Lord thy Grodd! All shall bow before me!"
* {{Archenemy}}: Had a solid claim on this title during the SilverAge, when he was the only serious threat in the Flash's RoguesGallery of otherwise {{Harmless Villain}}s. These days he's more of a general DCU villain, though he still hates the Flash family the most.
* TheArtifact[=/=]FadSuper[=/=]ReimaginingTheArtifact: Grodd was created at a time when gorillas were something of a fad in comics, TV shows, and movies; unlike most other characters created in that craze, like the Gorilla Boss of Gotham City or the Mod Gorilla Boss, however, Grodd has kept appearing and generally been updated to fit the tone of the times.
* BigBad: Of ''[=JLApe=]'' and the 1991 ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe'' miniseries.
* EvilCounterpart: Of King Solovar.
* EvilOverlord: Whenever he does achieve power, most notably during ''Flashpoint''.
* FantasticRacism: He views humans as a worthless mud race and regularly tries to wipe them from the face of the earth.
* FinalSolution: Wants all of humanity exterminated. In ''Flashpoint'' he does manage to kill most of Africa.
* GeniusBruiser: A six hundred pound gorilla with psychic powers.
* GreenEyedMonster: According to ''[=JLApe=]'', the reason he's evil is because he's insanely jealous of Solovar.
* ImAHumanitarian
* KillAllHumans
* KillerGorilla
* LegacyCharacter: He has a son, Gorbul Mammit, who fought Impulse.
* MadScientist
* ManipulativeBastard
* MindControlEyes: His eyes, and his victims' eyes, tend to glow magenta when he uses his telepathy.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A [[MadScientist mad scientist]], [[PsychicPowers psychic]], [[EvilOverlord world-conquering]], [[SuperStrength super-strong]], [[EvilGenius hyper-intelligent]] talking gorilla.
* [[OneManArmy One Ape Army]]: Despite talking and reasoning, Grodd is very much a wild animal, like a rabid gorilla with psionics. When a mishap leaves him free during a prisoner transport, the resulting rampage levels whole city blocks and leaves countless dead. It's implied that he does this in less than an hour.
* PsychicPowers
** MindOverMatter
** MindProbe
** PeoplePuppets
** {{Telepathy}}
* RedeemingReplacement: His grandson, Sam Simeon of ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe''.
* SuperStrength: Grodd is far, far stronger then your average gorilla.
* TouchedByVorlons
* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to Creator/PhilFoglio's ''ComicBook/AngelAndTheApe'' miniseries, Grodd's motive is that he believes Gorilla City will soon run out of resources, and that humans are in danger of destroying all of theirs. Hence the need to either "cull the herd" by killing most of the humans or turning them into apes. (Comics before and since have said that he's simply a madape who wants to TakeOverTheWorld.)

-> '''AKA:''' Dr. Michael Amar
A surgeon turned serial killer obsessed with silencing the voices of everyone around him, Michael Amar was incriminated by his inability to keep from talking. While in Iron Heights Penitentiary, he took the name Murmur, cut out his own tongue, and sewed his mouth shut so he'd never incriminate himself again. Years later, he hatched a plot to escape from prison by using a deadly engineered disease to kill the guards and the Flash, but Wally, Jay, and the Pied Piper put an end to it. He has since become a persistent and deadly thorn in Wally's side.

* TongueTrauma

[[folder:Neron]]
-> '''AKA:''' (inapplicable)

* BlondGuysAreEvil
* DealWithTheDevil: His preferred method of operating. Whether you're a hero or a villain, he'll offer you anything you want, in exchange for either your soul or whatever other price he asks.
** ChronicVillainy: He apparently cannot refuse the offer of a soul in trade if he truly wants it, even if it costs him more than he can afford to give up.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even he was disgusted by [[EvilSorcerer Felix Faust]] and the levels that he would sink to for power.
* EvilCanNotComprehendGood
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the ''Hell to Pay'' storyline. [[spoiler:He orchestrates a plot to steal the love Wally and Linda have for each other, thus giving him a chance to gain ultimate power from the Speed Force, by forcing Wally to bargain for the Rogues' souls in exchange for giving up said love, and also claiming Linda's soul in exchange for sparing Wally's. Unfortunately for him, the couples' love corrupts him and he begs them to take it all back--but [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome they refuse unless he undoes all the damage he's done to the city]]]].

[[folder:Plunder]]
->'''AKA:''' [[spoiler:Jared Morillo]]
A gun-toting villain from a mirror universe created by the Mirror Master, Plunder followed Wally back the real world when Wally made his escape. He joined up with Blacksmith's "New Rogues" and used the fact that he was [[spoiler:Detective Morillo]]'s mirror counterpart to keep the police out of the picture while her evil plan went into action.

->'''AKA:''' Roy G. Bivolo
Roy G. Bivolo believed he was destined to be a great artist, but his colorblindness made it impossible.

-> '''AKA:''' Clifford De Voe
* AIIsACrapshoot: His current virtual form.
* AmoralAttorney: Well, he wasn't exactly amoral before he became a super-villain; rather, he underwent a FaceHeelTurn when he realized that his efforts to curb crime were doomed to failure.
* BadassInANiceSuit: In his Golden Age incarnation, he wore a business suit as opposed to a gimmicky costume, since he believed wearing costumes was bad luck. However, his Silver Age incarnation and at least one alternate-reality version of him wore a stylized purple and black costume (which was worn by the character in the ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' series).
