History Characters / TheFlashTheRogues

* 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. The one time she ''did'' try to get treatment, her therapist turned out to be a criminal mastermind who mind controlled her into committing crimes. Needless to say, this didn't do her mind any good.

* EvilPlan: In one [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] story, he set up one that took effect ''after'' his death: he hid five discs throughout Central City and then tasked five of his fellow Rogues to find the discs before Flash did, lest the discs explode and destroy the city; once found, the discs were then to be stacked on top of each other in a specific order to deactivate them. [[spoiler:Turns out that stacking them this way set the trigger for the ''real'' bomb. Fortunately, the Flash figures out what is going on and helps to stop the scheme.]]

*** It's about the money. So jobs that lead to ruling the world and such are generally turned down by the team.

* AwesomeAussie: He is one of the most thorough {{Deconstruction}}s imaginable.

* BoxedCrook: His lengthy run with the ''Suicide Squad''.

* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Bart Allen's Abel, not that either of them know it.

* ArchEnemy: To both Flash II and Flash III.

* BountyHunter: In a reformed period, teaming up with his sister as "Golden Snowball."

* BrotherSisterTeam: With Golden Glider, they were the "Golden Snowball".

* VillainsOutShopping: In Issue 750, a punk tries to rob the same convenient store Snart is in. He stops the mugger, but exposes himself in the process when he used his cold gun. The store clerk mistakes Snart for a fellow mugger and alerts the police. This just annoyed Snart because he actually ''wants to pay'' for the purchase he's made.

* TheBarnum: Some depictions.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: On occasion.

* CircusBrat: He was a circus brat, which might explain his...eye-catching costume. Ironically, he suffered from acrophobia, which earned him little sympathy from his parents.

* MoodSwinger: Due to her SuperpoweredEvilSide.

* DumbMuscle: Only kept around by the Rogues for this reason.
* {{Jerkass}}: To the upmost extreme.
* MadeOfIron: Literally, following his StartOfDarkness.

* LegacyCharacter: He's the second character to use the name Mirror Master.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: Except in the New 52, where he complains that he can't drink anymore because his powers freeze the beer. Barry, in disguise, befriends him by giving him a recipe for beer that freezes at a much lower temperature.

-->'''Chillblaine''': You're an absolute Zero!!\\
'''Captain Cold''': Kid, I outgrew that [[SymbolSwearing $#!^]] years ago.

-->'''Paul Gambi, running backstories past an amnesiac villain''': Your name's Leonard Snart, which is two strikes against you right there...
-->'''Captain Cold himself, narrating''': My name's...man, I hate it. My name's Leonard Snart. It's a bad name, I know, but my parents were bad people.

* ReformedButRejected: Became one of the suspects for [[ComicBook/IdentityCrisis Sue Dibny's murder]], even though at that time Mick's reformed and was now working for Cadmus. ComicBook/BoosterGold points out that the latter argument is NotHelpingYourCase.

* MutualKill: With Jack Drake (Tim Drake's father) in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' (Post-Crisis universe).

* WorthyOpponent: To Wally and Barry.

* GoldMakesEverythingShiny

* RetGone: In the New 52, Sam Scudder is back to being Mirror Master so Evan didn't appear until ''Dawn of DC''.

* KilledOffForReal: Before the New 52, she was killed off in the 90s and actually stayed dead for 20 real-time years.

* RetGone: In the New 52, Sam Scudder is back to being Mirror Master so Evan doesn't exist anymore.

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Basically the main reason they're a threat to the Flash is that some of their individual gimmicks go through the same escalation that the Flash family's SuperSpeed does, to the point some of them approach PhysicalGod level. Captain Cold's cold gun and arsenal has oftentimes shown the same level of dexterity as ComicBook/{{Iceman}}, Weather Wizard can throw around [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor-level storms]], Trickster and Golden Glider have an arsenal of gadgets each that is comparable to Batman's, and the vagueness of Mirror Master's gimmick has led to him becoming a RealityWarper who commands a pocket dimension that can do anything he wants it to.

* AnIcePerson: He uses his "cold-gun" to achieve this effect.
** Post-ComicBook/New52, there was a period when he had direct cryokinesis without having to use his freezing guns. It was later revealed that he used to use freezing guns, but used a machine to integrate his cold gun's powers into himself. [[StatusQuoIsGod This is reverted to cold gun again]] after the events of ComicBook/ForeverEvil2013.

* TheBusCameBack: [=McCulloch=] ''finally'' makes his post-''{{Flashpoint}} debut in ''ComicBook/TheFlashDawnOfDC'', almost 12 years after the ComicBook/New52 and its {{Cosmic Retcon}}s sidelined him in favor of resurrecting Scudder.
